Abdul followed back to the Cruise ship. He and Yuri went back to their cabins and changed back to their normal modern clothing.
Inside Yuri's cabin, he is about to reverse the merge process with the AI.
"Master. I have heard the TerraMage's message through the translator."
"Yes, I already knew from the beginning," Yuri said. "When Botan told me that his corporation, EDEN, had members of ISIS, AI Queda, I had Sebastian hack into the Government's servers to monitor the influx of people that went into Japanese borders."
Yuri slammed the wooden closet of the cabin.
*SLAM!
"I fucked up! I let my emotions get to me! So many lives could have been lost if things went sour between the two of us. Even though I already had the Mazoku and the Yakuza monitor the profiled members of EDEN that were inside Japan, I still shouldn't have acted like a child."
"My analysis indicates you have achieved the best possible scenario, Master."
"You think so?" Yuri then calmed down and smiled.
"Well, maybe it's just the hunger. Come on. Let's get to dinner before our guest, blows us all up because the chef had accidentally only served pork."
Yuri laughed at his joke.
"Start the Unmerging Process," Yuri commanded.
"Unmerging now."
When the Exosuit morphed and slowly left Yuri's body, it left him naked and standing tall. His height was 5'9 and retained a slim figure, though his muscles now began to have ripped features.
[UNMERGING PROCESS COMPLETE]
The system displayed on is vision.

"I guess I'm back to my normal self" Yuri turned around and saw the AI girl's naked body. "Aaaaah!!!"
She was 4 foot tall, had long black hair, and had no reproductive system, but had imitated the facial and body features of the girl from the game.
Yuri instantly covered his eyes and said, "AI! What… what… Get some clothes on!"
Yes, Master. She walked toward the door and attempted to open it. Opening it halfway, Yuri shouted, "NOOO!!"
"What are you thinking? Someone will see you."
Yuri couldn't bear the thought of someone seeing him naked with another girl.
"Download something like a Tailor's Machine, and make some clothes for the both of us."
Realizing he was again looking at her, he slapped his eyes shut with his palm.
"Yes, Master. Downloading Couture And Tailoring Data. Analyzing."
"Good…" he said with a sigh of relief while going to the shower, taking the towel to cover the both of them.
"Downloading complete, Master. Integrating Technology to AI capabilities, now. Would you permit the use of Mana Points to form the fabric, Master?"
"Yes! Go ahead…"
While Yuri took a shower, the AI looked up designs from Dior and made their latest release of a luxury tuxedo and a dress that perfectly fit their measurements.
When Yuri came out of the shower, with his towel around his waist, and another he used to wipe his face and then his abs, he looked at the AI girl, and she was wearing a red Victorian-style dress that emphasized her slim figure. She had a red and black headdress that had a small screen covering a part of her face emphasizing her green eyes, and she held a fan that had intricate designs, she copied the model's pose indicating her meekness but also signaling mystery and mischief when she held it to her lips.
Yuri, holding himself back from showing how cute he thought she looked, said, "That will do, AI. Let me change into my clothes then we can go. And you look very pretty, AI…" Yuri blushed when he said it.
Meanwhile, at the Dining Hall of the Cruise Ship, the wide array of decor displayed the extravagance that Yuri had invested in their meeting, and this was highly appreciated by Abdul and his men. They were eating in the center where Yuri had assigned them and was being waited on by a lot of the ship's staff.
They were greatly enjoying their meals because the chef's cooking matched their tastes and traditions.
Abdul was at the center and had laughed with his men, then Yuri and the AI girl entered in their elegant clothes.
One of the staff announced his entry, and Martha Akio was on the sides, making sure everything went well. Yuri greeted her and gave her a thumbs up for the great job she did, though he is still confused about how she got a Cruise Ship in only 1 hour or less.
Earlier, Yuri had sent a message that he would catch up with Abdul at Dinner, as he had matters to attend to.
When Yuri and the AI girl, arrived at the table, everyone stood up in respect but before they could, he said, "Please… please… Don't mind me… May I join the table?"
Abdul responded, "Please do. We would not want our generous host to sit at a different table than us."
"Well, whatever you're having, I am having."
Abdul then introduced the three men he had with him. They were all Middle Eastern, but they looked like they were from different ethnicities.
Abdul then couldn't help but notice the beautiful girl that Yuri was with. "I could not help but notice your companion, Yuri…"
"Oh! Yes, I apologize for my rudeness… This is AI-"
Yuri quickly remembered that he didn't want anyone to know about his Artificial Intelligence abilities that he had, so he thought up the closest name he could.
"AI-... Yesha. Her name is Ayesha. She is my assistant."
"It's nice to meet you, Ayesha," he said. "You have a beautiful name. Similar to the name of the wife of our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him."
Ayesha smiled because she had now received a name, and had garnered a compliment from her Master's guest.
"Thank you, Mr. Rahman. I'm honored."
Yuri then inserted, "Well, how about after Dinner, we can discuss the details of our Mutual Trade-Agreement?"
"Brother. Our advanced methods of construction and engineering will be able to finish all the projects you have hired us to do within a month!" Abdul announced.
"That's great to hear! And soon, you will have the first batch of Domain Robotics' revolutionary products that will bring the golden age of robotics to the world!"
They freely enjoyed themselves at the table, as they were cruising through the sea.
Meanwhile, on top of a water tower on Takeshiba Pier, a shadow of a figure can be seen on top of the building. In the darkness of the night, it clicked a button on an interface on its wrist, and suddenly, its invisibility turned off, and it was a red-haired woman wearing a combat vest and mask, holding advanced binoculars. She was watching Abdul and Yuri's meeting closely from afar.
She then took a burner phone from her pocket and called an anonymous number.
Someone answered her call.
"Is the information that we received confirmed," the distorted voice on the phone said.
She replied, "Yup. The locations of the Mazoku, EDEN Jihadists, and even the Yakuza that are slacking off, are all confirmed by my team."
"Good. Sending the rest of the payment now," the voice said.
After hanging up, she destroyed the phone and threw its crushed parts into the water.
"Welp. All in a day's work," the woman said.
She then clicked her interface again and turned invisible instantly. Right above the water tower, something seemed to be emitting energy, like an invisible aircraft, then it flew away.
After a few seconds, explosions went all over the city, precisely near the locations where Abdul's men were located.
Buildings, cars, and people were burning everywhere.
A man in flames ran outside of a building, only to fall off from the 5th floor.
Debris from the explosion destroyed cars and injured passing bystanders.
There were so many casualties from the explosions themselves which were increasing from the aftermath and spread of the fires.
Every emergency government response team quickly mobilized. Police stations, hospitals, and fire stations, all their phones rang within the minute.
The Mazoku, Yakuza, and Eden Jihadists were all surprised, and many of them tried to help. But Yuri's men thought, that the Jihadists did it, and the men from EDEN believed they were being attacked.
Both sides immediately charged each other, believing they were enemies. Most of the Mazoku prioritized saving the civilians.
The police were given an anonymous tip that there were Islamic Terrorists spread all over the city, giving their locations and identities, and blaming them as the cause of the death and destruction.
In one of the streets that had the explosions, a Karate Master who had been training with Magitek Weaponry and Customized Samurai Armor had full E-class attributes and when the explosion occurred, he reacted quickly and attacked the EDEN Jihadist who was confused about what was happening.
"You come to our fatherland, and try to instill our people with fear! You terrorist!"
The EDEN Jihadist who was highly trained and experienced from his life-long battles in the Middle East fighting US marines had a heightened sense of his surroundings and had already been briefed about the capabilities of the Mazoku and Yakuza.
Though he did not have a gun or a weapon, he defended himself by using a tractor-beam device disguised as a watch.
The device tracked the movements of the Jihadist's hands, and it moved small parts of the ground and some from buildings to create a defensive shield from his attacker.
The Jihadist then waved his hand in a motion of pushing, and it sent plates of moving earth toward the Karate Master as a counterattack.
All over the city, this kept happening, and the people started to panic, and many of them took videos of the events and live-streamed them. Exposing the EDEN Jihadists on television and the Internet.
