*Strap*
"… are you sure about this, Kelly?" I was wrapping my hands in a thin layer of bandages just for the feel as I stood in a reinforced training room within the facility after stretching my legs and finally getting out of bed. "We could do this another time."
"Nah." I said while cracking my neck and then slammed my fists into my hands as I then hunched into a loose stance while baiting Kara who was also in her training clothes so as to help her fight crime as she makes her debut as Supergirl soon. "Come on. Besides, after this, I'm going on a short trip somewhere to get something and coming right back."
"Really?!" Her eyes brightened as we then stood across from each other when in the next moment, I felt my instincts spike and my eyes constrict. "Woah!"
I next was arching my back as Kara's fist was a few inches above from my face.
"Hey! Not the face!" I shouted and spun my right leg while slamming it over her side as she didn't even react and was thrown across the room while skidding on her bare feet to a stop. "Hmph! You have to stay alert, honey. Or else you'll end up in a terrible one-sided ass beating."
"Hah! We'll see about that." I braced while I was next knocked back into the wall while nearly getting the air knocked out of me. "That is new?"
"… no shit?" Kelly stood while having recalled the last moment and her vision suddenly slowed to a crawl while seeing Kara's inhuman speed in vivid detail. "Faster than Hanma…"
"Who?" I was then knocked out of my reverie by a punch missing my shoulder and shook it off as I next smiled and we then rushed at each other.
While Kara had her ridiculously powerful body and powers, I had experience under my belt as even though I can't remember Kelly's former life, this body did and recalled each and every movement to the minute detail on how to survive.
Not relying on the cashe of spells I bought considering what Alice said, I really needed to thank Allie and apologize last time.
Sure enough, Kara capitalized on my distracted moment which resulted in her now hunched over her knees while I was on the floor but a smile still adorned my face.
"You're… a fast learner, Kara." I said as Kara laughed as she was surprised how I could keep up with her considering I was still a human. The peak of what the human body can be pushed to the limits but still, I still consider myself human. "Let's go get changed and we're leaving right after."
"Awesome!" Kara next flashed away while I pushed myself up while removing my wraps and spoke in my mind.
Alice?
{"Now you remember me, Hu-Kelly."}
Heh…
Then, can we get going? I want to finish this before Kara gets back.
{"Indeed. The next dimension has properties that are currently on the level that they can detect my presence. Once you appear, you will have a limited window to extract the clone bodies and then I will extract you upon the last moment."}
I don't like the sound of that.
{"That's the point. Go in, get out. Your instincts will keep you alive. Good luck."}
Well shit-
*Swoosh*
~~~
Type-Moon/ Fate Zero - Underground Cloning Laboratory.
*Swoosh*
"Right…"
*BEEP*
"Shit!" I instantly felt the gaze of someone or… something and didn't hesitate as I next rushed to the nearest tubes with floating pale clones lining the far end of the underground dungeon and next began inserting them into the inventory space while after stopping at the fifth, I felt my instincts scream to life while I next shouted to Alice and was instantly pulled from that place but not before a sudden spike slashed at my shoulder.
*Swoosh*
~~~
"Agh!" I held my right shoulder as it was steaming as I next fell and slammed onto my ass while suddenly seeing a golden glass liquid appear on the floor before me.
Taking it and pulling the cork, I then downed the liquid and began throwing up a black sludge as I next watched as the concrete floor where it landed began to fizzle until it dissipated into nothingness.
My shoulder wound also got better and healed as I narrowly avoided being turned into an acid pit through some ungodly level poison.
"Fuck me… who siad the life of a reincrantor would be all sunshine and rainbows…"
{"No one did. Are you delusional? No matter, I now have the clones. We will speak more once they are ready. You now have access to travel to any place you desire. But do not forget, this is courtesy from mother, Kelly."}
Then, my mind became silent and I sighed while gently looking up into the ceiling and a few seconds later, Kara appeared and asked what was wrong.
Shaking my head, I next stood back up and had a thought on where to go visit first as I wanted Kara to see a new world but one that was relatively safe from any dangers.
Ah… that one will do for now.
"You ready? We're only going for a few hours and coming straight back. Afterwards, I have to leave but I promise to return once in a while." Kara held a passive look but nodded. "Hand."
She extended her hand and soon, I thought of the world in my head and the eerie flash soon came as we soon appeared in the world of ninjas.

In Naruto World - Within The Ravine
*Swoosh*
"This is good. It works." Kelly smiled as Kara felt a sudden power up as the sun here in this world was more powerful due to the mixture of the natural chakra in the air.
"What is this place, Kelly?! I feel so strong… stronger than back on Earth." Kelly smiled and then was about to briefly explain when a sudden loli suddenly spoke out of nowhere.
{"I have reconfigured the clones and enhanced their genetic code while fixing their faults… we are coming out now."}
"Wait… what-" Before Kelly could question , two bright flashes appeared beside us as Lara got into a stance but seeing as who they were, I could only sigh yet, felt awkward when my eyes connected that of the brown haired woman who looked nothing like my ex other than her color scheme and hair style yet, it did nothing to highlight her natural beauty.
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
"This is what it feels like to have a mortal vessel…" Allie spoke in fascination while Alice remained impassive yet continued holding Allies hand while next staring at Kelly..
"You have done well human." Alice complemented as Kara turned to me and I sighed as I was going to reveal the truth to her anyway. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Danvers."
"Why do you call her by her name and me as a human?" Kelly asked, trying to deflect the discomfort she felt in an act of annoyance.
"I can still send you to the core of a lava pit." Kelly then smiled and remained quiet as all but Allie soon turned and felt the same gaze on them from the past few seconds when they arrived.
"Right… What about you bud? Gonna show yourself or do you just like peeping at a bunch of girls like some creep?" Within the next moment, a figure next fell from the sky and landed a few dozen feet from the group. "You're…"
"Newly acquired Information suggests this person is a one: Reincarnator 171-071-23: Name: Chelsea Jackson. Received 2 wishes. Reason: After saving a future world leader who propelled humanity from his own world into a new age of space exploration. His wishes were to be reborn in the Naruto world while retaining his memories." Alice spoke and shocked the hell out of Chelsea while Allie softly scolded the girl for being so blunt and revealing some personal and heavy secrets just like it was nothing.
"My name is Akaitsuki Uzumaki now, little miss." Akai spoke with a soft and respectful tone yet, I could have sworn I had heard Alice kiss her teeth yet, I was the only one who snapped my head at her and found her remaining impassive as usual. "I apologize for coming unannounced but, I felt you all arrive not too long ago and once before a while before that while I was not here."
The guy then took a step and knelt his head as he then turned to Kelly while fixing his eyes on the group.
"Out of all of you, you(Kara), are the strongest. You(Alice) are the wisest and you(Allie) are probably the leader." He spoke with such conviction that it made my eye twitch as I then puffed my chest while gently stepping forward. "As for you… (maybe a freeloader)?"
"Pfft!" Kara covered her mouth.
"Hahaha!" Allie bursted out laughing.
"He has a sharp mind." Alice supported the guy's assumption.
"The hell, man?!" Kelly bursted and next the guy tilted his head while she rubbed the bridge of her nose and then bluntly asked. "Right. What do you want."
"… uh, I was sort of hoping I could maybe tag along with you-"
"Not happening." Kelly was quick to shoot the guy down as she remembered what Allie had told her about the guy and before she could continue, her body next went stiff and realized it was Alice's doing.
"Hold on… I want to know more about your proposition." Alice held a twinkle in her eyes as she saw how Akai annoyed Kelly while also weighing the pros and cons as she knew that her Mother was possibly still being hunted from her own calculations that continued to shift constantly and would make a great addition to their group.
~~~
At the end, the group gained a new person who was 'hired' to be Allie's bodyguard while Kelly was still getting the short end of the stick and as a consolation prize, Alice handed her control over her systems shop function back to Kelly after some coaxing from Allie.
Kelly next saw a holographic blue screen appear and showing the limit of users that were allowed to use it.
Kelly quickly then put the system on private and finally had regained control of her systems shop.
She even adjusted the prices back down and smiled tears of joy as she put them to 1 SP but as far as it was, it only showed things like support items and tools along with powerful materials for her suits and experiments.
Other than materials, foods and clothes, the rest of the system shop was closed to Kelly but that didn't matter one bit as Kelly now had her own shop to draw from and slowly watched as she put the maximum of SP she could 'earn' each month was around 1.200 SP.
Considering it was a basic system shop that focused more on the 'character' with her being the center, it worked out as she could now re-model her armors, materials and everything she wanted with the system screen as this was what she had originally envisioned with the wish she made before.
"Someone's having the time of their life." Allie came over while holding Alice's hand while Kara and Akai went off to spar for a bit. Not a few moments later, tremors began to shake throughout the ravine.
"Of course! I have my system back!" Kelly gave a blinding smile that took Allie by surprise yet, only Alice saw this while Kelly only fixed her gaze to the floating screens around her she purposely set them to better customize her Spartan armor in a 3d-representation.
With a slight look, Allie sighed as she never would have guessed she would end up meeting Kelly and ending up in the lowest rut she has ever had in her entire life.
Though, apart from those past memories, she realized she found herself having fun and finding more about herself along the way as she concluded that she'll stay by Kelly's side.
As for Alice, unknown to anyone else, she was scheming on how to keep Kelly under her control.
Giving Kelly access to a sub-system she created apart from her Main System, this was all a ploy to get Kelly off track of her scheming and keep her happy.
She would need to ensure her and Allie's safety and being inside Kelly's mind space was not safe in the least as Kelly could take them along with her. Her gamble before was all well within her calculations and she knew well that the fastest way to gain trust is to exert dominance considering Allie's stories she shared about her past.
Alice stayed composed as she had long planned everything but variables continued to alter her calculations.
One such being Kelly's unpredictable behavior, Akai's presence, and most of all, not only Kara but Allie for some reason liked Kelly which still baffled Alice to this day.
Now however, she had put her plans on the back burner for the moment as the presence of Akai would be a great addition considering all he wanted was to tag along with Kelly.
A sacrifice she was more than willing to make on Kelly's behalf.
