Yuu punched the air in front of the mirror as if he was practicing karate. Nobara sat on a chair with three designers fixing her hair and put on some make-up on her face.
"It's done!!" Exclaimed the designers with high spirited voices at the same time.
Yuu paused and set his eyes on Nobara's new appearance. His lower jaw dropped as he scanned her figure from the top down to the lower part. With that pose; her right hand rested on her waist and her left hand pinched her chin softly, her face faced a few angles to the left and her cold sharp eyes glared at Yuu, which made her look like a supermodel based on a RPG fantasy game theme.
The left part of her hair was pinned with a golden dove wing and wave-like pattern on the hairpin. Her dark violet leather upper cloth with golden laces was matched with a leather black fitted skirt with a ram skull attached on the left side with three dangling chains connected on the ring of its nose bridge to a ring on the right side. Her reddish-violet 5 inches high heels with two rubies cut into a round shape and fitted into metallic golden circles, on her feet.
Nobara twirled around and waved her red hair with her hand. She turned back and stared at Yuu, suggesting him to praise her new look. Yuu barked adorably and stuck his tongue out while hopping on the model table.
"Kawaii!!" The three female designers screamed with a high pitched voice with awe at the same time as they looked at Yuu being adorable.
_______________
Every part of the grandstand was filled with tiny humans which looked like a wave as they cheered for the event. The air suffered from sound pollution as the huge crowds shouted and cheered and the loud sound of the Japanese musical instruments being played on the stage. The performances showed off Japanese culture through music and dances and even clothes for the opening ceremony of the event.
Nobara watched the huge crowds through the screen of the television in her room. She quivered as she was frightened by the great number of people filling the grandstand. She had never been exposed to such a large population as she was an introvert to begin with. She walked back and forth with a perplexed expression on her face. She bit her thumb while Yuu stared at her with confusion. She abruptly approached him then lifted him and embraced him like a teddy bear. She massaged his small head as he rejoiced for what he had been coveted.
"You have very soft fur and- I'm nervous!!" Nobara declared her horrible feelings.
She hugged him so tightly that he almost suffocated. He tried to push her away but he was too small and the forces applied by his limbs weren't enough to defy her grasp.
"Alright," she exhaled, "it's showtime! Yuu, just crawled normally, alright. Remember to show off your lightning bolt, show the people what a li'el puppy is capable off!"
"Ok!" Yuu replied with a suffocating voice.
"Dr Tachibana, get ready!" A man with a dark blue cap wearing a blue plain T-shirt entered the room in a sudden, informing her about the parade.
Nobara nodded and raised Yuu to the air like a baby.
At the battle arena, everything went dark in a sudden as the spotlights were switched off and some spotlights with sharp and bright lights were aimed on a circle right in the middle of the battle platform. The circle opened and a mentalist-like man with sunglasses and black suits appeared from inside the circle and raised up two metres from the ground. He raised his retro microphone and brought it closer to his lips and began to speak.
"Konnichiwaaa~!!" He shouted in Japanese, "as we all know that today is a special event for our great heroes and a special day for them to prepare their nerves, hearts and minds for the upcoming battle. It's held every four years, a country will be chosen for the game and it is the Sentinel Game~!!"
The crowds applauded and cheered after the emcee screamed with his deep and rough voice. The drums were banged then followed by the Japanese traditional musical instruments which were played continuously, filling the silent air with cultural battle music.
"Courageous and strong yet a beauty, a new applicable apprentice was elected by the top as she was dedicated in battle and handling different kinds of weapons. A nerd who earned her PhD at a very young age. A young Japanese woman, well, who is she? A supermodel? An artist or perhaps, a karate or kendo master? No!! ,
Her method of wielding her guns is rather unique, the Ammunition Sentinel, Dr Tachibana Nobaraaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Screamed the emcee with emotional poses.
The spotlights immediately aimed at a supermodel like figure with a huge and long gun on her back standing stiffly with a little puppy sitting beside her at the entrance. Lights from the spotlights abruptly revealed the huge crowds from the grandstand who were cheering for Nobara and fireworks burst from the each edge of the heptagonal concrete stage in the middle of the battle arena. She meandered on the aisle, heading to the heptagonal stage with her lips curled downward, showing a sinister smile.
She bit her thumb till it bled and summoned Tsukiyama from her shadow underneath her feet. Sharp shadows blew out from her feet and formed a smog around her then penetrated her M134 gun. She grabbed the barrel of her gun then pulled it forward and handled it like a saw. Her eyes glowed as she grinned and reddish smoke appeared behind her forming a rainbow-like curve. Smoke seven similar guns appeared and floated behind her in a curved manner. Yuu was captivated by the summoned guns behind her, he wouldn't expect that Nobara can summon another gun.
Yuu glared ahead and created lightning from his paws. The buzzing sound of the humming electricity could be heard by the entire crowds on the grandstand. The powerful electric glowed with a bright ice-blue ray of lights that his dark figure sank in. Nobara stared at Ryuuchiro and Nozomu who were sitting at the VIP sitting area and watched her performance. Ryuuchiro smirked and rubbed his beard. Nobara's parade ended and the lights went off again as she reached the heptagon.
"Riding a pigeon across the sea from the West to the East, the blue sky is veiled with dark clouds with thunder," the emcee stood stiffly and put his hand on his left earlobe.
The silence was broken with the roaring sound of the thunder and black clouds covered the roof of the stadium. The rumbling cloud produced terrifying lightning accompanied by the sound of the roaring thunder. Seven aircrafts without a pilot from World War II accelerated from inside the dark clouds and hovered in a circle like a group of swallows. Their bee-like multiple buzzing sounds turned the stadium into the era of the battlefield of World War II.
"One of the axis powers, descendant of Adolf Hitler. A German fighter pilot, who is he? He who rules the sky, Zeus the King of God? Nigh but no!! He who rules heaven? No!! He is a bird's friend, the Sky Sentinel, Adalbert Hohenstaufen!!!"
The spotlights focused on a figure standing with a pose at the entering entrance on the aisle. Adalbert marched forward while waving his right hand as he controlled the aircrafts and the cloud. The cloud slowly faded as he plucked his fingers. The seven aircrafts joined together and turned into a yellow blaze then turned reddish orange. The blaze formed into a fire phoenix then hovered around him and landed on his arm. The phoenix squeaked with a foreign bird sound which had never been heard by any living. Just like Nobara's parade, everything went dark again as Adalbert reached the heptagon.
The continuous applause and cheers from the huge crowds terminated as a huge silvery voice of a group of women hummed. The soft choir-like lullaby grew louder with the sound of the raging sea buffeting the coast accompanied by the sound of a ship echoed. The spotlights glowed brightly at instant and there around the heptagon was filled with the sea with rocky lee and spiky huge rocks. A translucent pirate ship appeared from the top of the stadium and the colour began to solidify slowly.
"Can you imagine it!!! No, it's what you see, a pirate ship floated high in the air like a zeppelin and where's the captain, I suppose!!" Screamed the emcee with enjoyment, "and who is the culprit behind all of this, I suppose? Oh, how lovely, the sound of the sea and the humming song of the siren make you feel hypnotic and hallucinating."
The pirate ship fell downward slowly, opposing the acceleration due to the gravity. Beautiful maiden with fish tails could be seen swimming and giggling like a ghost around the ship; they were sirens. The seawater below rose to the air and formed a huge and high wave as if it was a Bermuda triangle there. The wave rose higher and washed off the aisle. It was cut into half as if it was cut by Mossa with his staff.
"The ruler of the sea, is he one of the Olympus god's, the God Poseidon? No!! Is he the Leviathan, the most powerful sea monster ever to exist or perhaps, jormungand? No!! Is he the sea serpent or even the merman? No!! He who chooses to befriend the sea, an audacious sailor, captain of a ship, the Poseidon Sentinel, Benditto Mussolini!!!!!"
The spotlights moved and focused at the entrance with Benditto sashayed. The silvery and high pitched voices of the women screaming could be heard as they saw his hot figure meandered like a model on the aisle. He winked then the women were completely captivated by his charms. His assistant, the naughty siren, swam in a circle above him and waved her hand to the crowds. She was very pleased to see the humans shouting and cheering for them. The pirate ship hit Benditto and crashed into a huge bluish wave of seawater. The water raised and formed into a huge watery rose. Benditto glared at Nobara and sent her a flying kiss then winked. Her face turned bright red as she was embarrassed by his 'ignominious' act; she only thought about how Ryuuchiro would act about it.
"Benditto!!" Screamed the women from the crowd as they were enchanted by his charm.
