Three weeks later.
Seth and Madoka had settled in very nicely in this world. They had met all of the CPUs and introduced themselves. The small girl that had interrupted their picnic was named Peashy. They only discovered the girl's name because it was written in the little girl's underwear. Seth noticed that Peashy was about five or six and she was constantly messing with the members of the some reason, Seth went back to his universe and brought Akikaze with him to the Basilicom. Needless to say the members of Planeptune were shocked to learn that one of their newest members was a parent. With the two children playing with each other the others could get back to work. Well at least most would do work.
Seth learned just how hyperactive Neptune was and how she was slightly perverted. She wouldn't do anything besides playing video games and eat junk food. She was also dorky in a cute way. He wondered how Planeptune survived if their CPU was such a kid. He learned that the reason that Planeptune wasn't doomed was do to Histy and her dealing with most of Planeptune paperwork. Seth decided to aid her and fulfill the duties that Neptune was suppose to do. It wasn't long until Seth was basically running the country.
He had purposed several new government program to help the country of Planeptune grow. Such as improving the education system, increasing some of the economic sectors, and increasing trade with the other nations. The shares of Planeptune began to climb very high. Seth also improved the Basilicom's public relation sector. Histy was impressed that their recently hired friend was able to turn Planeptune around so quickly.
Seth didn't forget to train Madoka. No, in fact he revved up the intensity of his training. After finding the right tools and materials, and days of intense meditation, Madoka was able to bleed to kyber crystals from the lightsaber's of two dead Jedi, Seht killed in the Clone wars. Now she was focusing on creating her lightsaber.
"Focus Zus. Do not rush the creation of you lightsaber. Allow the force to guide you." Seth said to Maria as she was lifting the pieces of her lightsaber into place. Slowly but surely the pieces were coming together. They formed a double sided lightsaber or a light staff, but Madoka had created a special version that could split into two single blade lightsaber. Seth took the recently made lightsaber staff and ignited the red plasma blades. He was very pleased.
"Most impressive. Darth Zus, never allow your lightsaber to leave your hands. This is much more then you weapon, it is a testament to your training and a sign of your devotion to the Sith." Seth handed the lightsaber staff to his apprentice and she took it with great pride. Now that Madoka had advanced far enough in her training, Seth could teach her more powerful Sith techniques, but he was scared that Madoka could be corrupted by the dark side influence.
The two were about to start training in saber dueling when they hear Neptune scream. The two Sith ran towards the CPU and when they arrived at the room, they saw Neptune chasing Peashy around. They saw Akikaze watch the two girls antics.
"Akikaze what happened?" Seth asked his son. The small brown hair boy walked towards Neptune's gaming console and showed the the wires were ripped. Peashy had literally ripped the cable from the console.
"I got you!" Neptune yelled as she caught Peashy. However Peashy did not want the fun to end.
"Pea Punch!" Peashy yelled as she gave Neptune a pretty strong uppercut. It was strong enough to knock her off her feet.
A Few Minutes Later.
After Neptune and Peashy calm down, Peashy and Akikaze started play a game a tag. Neptune headed towards her younger sister only to find her being smother in Vert's chest.
"Vert why are you smothering my Nep jr. between you chest!" Neptune said as she was slightly angry that the two were spending so much time together recently.
"Oh Neptune, there's no harm in two girls building a stronger bond is there." Vert hugged Nepgear as she spoke which said girl was clearly enjoying the hug.
"But you've been doing it every day for the past week!" Neptune stated.
"That is true, but today I'm here for you." Neptune was shocked by her statement.
"What?! Me? Don't tell me you want to make a sister sandwich. Nep!" That was when Vert cleared up the misunderstanding. She told Neptune that Blanc wanted to call the four CPUs together to discuss an important matter. Histoire had asked Seth to take several important documents to Noire regarding the trading between Lastation and Planeptune. So Seth, Madoka and Akikaze joined Neptune, Nepgear and Peashy as they headed towards Lastation.
A while later. Lastation.
"So what did you want to talk about Blanc?" Noire asked the CPU of Lowee.
"Its about Lastation's security network." The brown hair girl replied.
"Ah! I know what you want. You want me to copy our security network for your own. I suppose we could, I mean that our network was made by top notch networking engineers who I paid no expense for. We could do it, but its gonna be costly." Noire said as she was clearly proud of her country's security network.
"Was the recently launch satellite also equipped with the same protection?"
"Of course." Blanc had some bad news for Noire.
"Our network have detected that the satellite was recently hacked."
"That's impossible! There's a better likelihood of someone falling from the sky and hitting me!" Noire was clearly insulted that Blanc made such a statement, but just then the two CPUs heard a voice from above.
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" A female voice screamed. The two CPUs looked up and saw Neptune falling towards Noire. Just as Neptune was reaching the point of no return, [B.L.A.Z.E.] caught the girl while falling and landed safely.
"Lady Purple Heart, are you hurt?" Seth asked the CPU.
"No I'm good! Thanks buddy!" Neptune said as she was unfazed from the recent fall. The others from Planeptune landed and now the meeting could begin. The two CPUs noticed that there were two unknown people with them so before they could speak they had to properly introduce themselves.
"So Neptune who are the kids?"
"Oh right! P-ko, Aki-kun introduce yourself." Nepgear put Peashy down and Madoka did the same with Akikaze.
"I'm Pea!" Peashy said as her introduction.
"Neptune, you already had a child this old?" Blanc said.
"Yup, she's my first born and I loved her to bits. No! She a lost child we're taking care of!" Neptune said slightly flustered.
"I know. I was just joking, anyway who is the little boy?" Blanc ask.
"Akikaze introduce yourself." Seth said.
"Hai papa. Hello, my name is Akikaze Fairs. I hope we can get along." Akikaze introduce himself and bowed at the CPUs.
"He's my son." Seth stated. That instantly shocked the other CPUs that didn't know about this already. They thought Seth looked too young but of course they didn't know the circumstances surrounding Akikaze's creation.
"Anyway, now that we've introduced ourselves, lady Black Heart could you please sign these papers." Seth handed Noire a file with several papers for trading between Planeptune and Lastation.
"Ah, I've been waiting for these." Noire brought out a pen started to sign the papers. While she was doing this, Blaze and flame detected that something was recording them that was not a security camera.
"Seth, someone is recording you right now."
"Who?"
"Master we're locating the hacker now... Got it. The hacker is not too far from here."
"I see, once I get the paper from Noire, we'll leave." Seth said mentally. Noire just finished signing the papers and handed them back. Seth checked the. To make sure they were signed correctly.
"Alright everything looks good. Well then I have a small errand to deal with. Zus look after Akikaze for me and Akikaze play nice." Seth said as he headed towards the elevator.
"Hai papa." Akikaze said.
"As you wish master." Madoka said to Seth. With Seth gone, Nepgear had to asked Madoka a question that she had.
"Madoka-chan can I ask why you call your nii-san master and why doesn't he call you by your name?" Nepgear asked.
"It's a sign of respect among the Sith. Darth Zus is the title I was given when I joined the Sith." Madoka stated.
"Now ladies on to business. Could you follow me." Vert said. The four CPUs left the little sister alone with the children. The two kids started to play a game of tag.
A little later with Seth.
Seth arrived at an abandon warehouse. He knew that the hacker was inside. He turned invisible and entered the warehouse.
Meanwhile with the little sisters and The children.
The sisters had found a hidden spy camera and decided to teach the person who was spying on Noire a lesson. Nepgear had brought some sort of tracking device along with her. They were now following the device when Peashy got hungry.
"Nepgear! I'm hungry!" Peashy whined.
"Oh, you are?" As the group was struggling to find someway of keeping Peashy from getting rowdy. Just then Akikaze pulled something out of his bag. It was a bento box with seven onigiri (rice balls) inside it.
"Here, papa made these for me but I don't mind sharing." Akikaze said as he handed the rice ball to the blond girl.
"Wow! Thanks Aki!" Peashy had given Akikaze that name because she thought Akikaze was too long to speak. "Oishii!" Peashy said happily.
"Do want some too?" Akikaze said as he held up the bento box.
"I'll take one." Ram said as she grabbed one. Soon the other did too, except for Madoka.
"Aunty don't you want some?" Madoka was about to refuse the food when she saw the look in the small child's eyes.
"Fine." Madoka said as she gave into the child's request. The little sisters all took their first bits at the same time and were instantly shocked at how good the onigiri was.
"Oh my goodness!" Nepgear exclaimed.
"This is just a normal onigiri right?" Uni said as she could believe the torrent of flavor that was in her mouth.
"This is-" Rom said.
"-Amazing!" Ram said finishing her twin's sentence.
"..." Madoka was not surprised. Her brothers cooking was amazing and she knew that, but still it always tasted great.
"Any food that papa make is amazing!" Akikaze said. The group began to move again when they noticed the CPUs in the air transformed and heard an explosion nearby.
A few minutes earlier. With the CPUs.
The four CPUs had tracked down the person that hacked the satellite and were now flying towards the hacker's location. They had a few minutes to themselves and Black Heart wanted to ask Purple Heart a few question.
"Neptune, what did you do to spike your shares so high?" Black Heart asked. She and the CPUs noticed the Planeptune share were rising dramatically.
"Well to be perfectly honest, I haven't done much. It's probably because of Seth and Histoire. He just started started doing things in country." Purple Heart said.
"Eh? He's running Planeptune? You let a stranger you just met three weeks ago run your country?" Black Heart said clearly shocked.
"Well it's not so bad. I mean the country is running better." Purple Heart said slightly sad. She was a hard worker in her goddess form, but her human form was just too energetic. It not that she didn't want to do better well at least Purple Heart thought that. She swears that there are two people inside of her. The group was bought out of their conversion when they heard an explosion come from ahead. They flew down towards an old warehouse and heard something fighting inside. The little sisters and children entered the warehouse and heard the fighting too. Just then something bursted from the wall in front of the them. It was a man wearing some sort of pink mechanical suit and the person on top of him was someone they knew.
"If you move a muscle, I'll break your arm." Seth said as he had the pink wearing person in a arm hold.
"Master?!" Madoka said as she no one in the group expected him to be in front of them.
"Oh, hi." Seth said while he kept the mysterious pink men beneath him.
"Um.. Excuse me sir, could you please be a little bit more gentle with a pure maiden's body?"
"Pure maiden? Aren't you a guy?" Seth said slightly confused. He was sure the person he was holding down was a guy. At least he think.
"My heart is as pure as any other maiden!" Seth almost broke this man's arm at that point, but soon enough the police of Lastation arrived and took the man way. The goddess transformed back into their human forms. They would learn later that the man's name was Anonydeath. Seth explained to the others that he found a spy camera in Noire room.
"That pink pervert was spying on me?!"
"Yeah, which is why I decided to investigate. I had no clue that he was also the one behind the hacking of your network." Seth stated.
"I see. By any chance did you save any of his data?" Noire asked.
"He deleted most of the data the moment I arrived, but I was able to recover some of the lost data. My machines are also most done rebuilding the data." The group waited eagerly for the data to be done recovering. They soon saw something that Noire wanted desperately to hide. The saw her cosplaying in many different clothing.
"DELETE IT NOW!" Noire shrieked at the top of her lung.
"Hey she looks pretty good in this picture." Neptune said teasing to the tsundere goddess.
"I had no idea you were into cosplay." Blanc said as she looked at the pictures.
"MY LIFE IS RUINED!" Noire screamed as her little hobby was exposed to the group.
Later that night.
The group met back up in the Basilicom the group was about to head back to their homes when Blaze detected A tear in space and time. Seth activated [B.L.A.Z.E.] and flew up to find out what was entering the dimension they were in. He didn't expect a purple hair to be falling from the sky. He flew back down to the group with the girl in his arms. He put her down and she introduced herself.
"Hi, I'm Plutia. I'm the CPU of Planeptune."
"What?" Seth and Madoka said confused. Suddenly the CPUs yelled 'EH!' That this girl claimed to be Planeptune's goddess. They soon learned that Plutia was the goddess of Planeptune in a different dimension.
A week later.
Plutia was taken back to Planeptune where they learned that the girl was indeed a CPU, but had yet to see her HDD form. Seth had learned several things about the girls in the Basilicom, like the fact that Neptune hates eggplants and claims that the purple vegetables drained her CPU powers, or that Nepgear fell in love with Seth's cooking, or that Histy could connected to other dimensions, and finally that Plutia loved to make plushy of her friends, but for some reason she was always sleepy. She had already made a Neptune plushy, and her next project would be a Peashy one.
"Hey everyone we're leaving." Iffy said as she and Compa were going to head to their day jobs. Seth desired that now would be a good time to make a grocery run. Since they were all heading in the same general direction Seth decided to head towards the store while they walked for little bit together.
For some reason there was a lot of construction on their path forcing them to take several detours. They continued the path unknowingly entering a trap. Within a few seconds, a strange purple haze appeared around them. Iffy and Compa passed out. Seth was able to resist the gas for a little bit, but he was struck in the back of the head. Two figures picked up the three unconscious people.
Several Hours Later.
Madoka was starting to get worry. She hadn't hear a word from her brother and he should have been back my now. She could feel that something was wrong. That was when Nepgear came into the room and showed this photo of IF being tied up to a poll.
"We need to save her. I'm sure they're holding Seth and Compa there too." Nepgear said as she wanted to her friends.
"Let's go, we need them back before dinner time. It Seth's turn to cook!" Neptune said peppily.
"I'm coming too." Madoka said as she was determine to save her brother.
"Me too." Plutia said. The group of four set out to save their captured friend.
Meanwhile with Seth.
The boy was awoken by a splash of water hitting his face. He opened his eyes and saw CFW magic in front of him. He soon found out that he was chained to a wall. He tried to break open the chains that held him, but all his efforts were in vain. Seth could tell that he wasn't able to use his full strength.
"Don't even bother with trying to escape. You'll be having a little fun with me today." Magic said as she brought out a whip.
"Oh shit..." Seth said as he knew what magic was planning to do.
With IF.
The guild member was coming to. She could finally see her captor. It was none other than the deity of sin Arfoire.
"Did you enjoy your nap?" Arfoire said sarcastically.
"Whatever you're planning it's not going to work, do you hear me, it's not going to work!"
"You're a feisty one like that. But it's already too late I've discovered the goddess is weakness." Arfoire took a pregnant pause and revealed her secret weapon. "It's these eggplants!"
"Huh?" IF said as she was really confused.
"I heard the goddess herself say it, so it must be true."
"You've completely lost your mind haven't you." IF stated. Arfoire forcibly feed IF a eggplant whole.
Back with the others.
They were able to trace the photo back to a location in Planeptune thanks to a map attached to photo and were currently flying there. They noticed IF tied up to a poll and Arfoire was force feeding her something. As they got closer, Neptune noticed the smell of eggplants. She gagged at the smell.
"Onee-chan! Are you okay?!" Nepgear said as she was worried for her sister.
"Yeah, the smell surprised me. I'm okay now."
"Are you?" Arfoire said to goddess. Madoka instantly raised up [Kuroshiki] weapons and aimed at the fallen CPU.
"Where is my master?!" Madoka shouted.
"Oh Magic and him are having a little fun right now. Haven't you notice what around you. Purple Heart today I will defeat you with these Eggplants."
"What? Don't be ridiculous. Sure I hate eggplants, but they're not gonna kill me." Purple Heart said as she was shocked by the sheer stupidity of it
"Are you sure? Have a taste of this!" Arfoire said as she threw a group of eggplants. They didn't know that Arfoire could create monster from vegetables or other non sentient objects. The surprise of the eggplant monsters was enough to make Neptune lose control of her transformation.
"Nepu!" Neptune said as she and Plutia fell to the ground. Neptune got up and brought out a sword, but as she slashed open on for the eggplant monster, the eggplant juices made her nauseous.
"I'm gonna hurl!" Neptune yelled as she covered her mouth.
Nepgear and Madoka began to eliminate as many monster as they could. While all this was going on, Compa was being harassed by a large rat name Pirachu, who had apparently fallen in love with the girl. Seth was still being tortured by magic. And finally Arfoire was still forcibly feeding IF eggplants. All while this was going on Plutia was starting to get a little mad. Suddenly Plutia slammed the Neptune plushy she had with her. Her slam was powerful enough to create a crater in the ground.
"I'm A little pissed off." Suddenly she began to glow. Soon her CPU form revealed herself. Iris Heart had really dark red eyes and a dominatrix outfit and Dark purple hair. Her weapon of choice was a whip sword.
"I guess I have no choice but to blow off some steam."
"Who the hell are you?!" Arfoire said.
"Me? I'm Iris Heart, but don't worry. If it's too hard to remember I'll beat it into you!" Iris Heart launched herself at Arfoire and began to give her the beating of a lifetime.
Just as Iris heart was giving Arfoire a beating so Intense that the writer of the story cannot fathom how intense the beating was, the nearby barn house exploded catching everyone's attention.
Amidst the rubble they saw one person standing holding a knocked Compa. Seth had used a massively powerful force maelstrom to break free from the chains.
"Master!" Madoka said as she rushed towards her master's side.
"I'm tired." Seth said. The members of the rescue team finally got closer and saw that Seth was wearing only his underwear.
"Master, why aren't you wearing clothes?!" Madoka said as she stared at her brother body for a second. Seth quickly put Compa down on the ground.
"To answer your question, I was being whipped by the freak magic. That was most unpleasant."
"You don't look like you've been whipped?" Iris Heart said as she looked at Seth.
"I have instant regeneration, by the way who are you?" Seth asked as he never saw this CPU before. She didn't seemed to be an enemy.
"Instant regeneration? You're the Toy that never breaks huh. I'm going to have so much fun with you." Iris Heart said as she grabbed a whip.
"Have fun, W–W–what are you doing that whip?!" Seth said as he started to run.
"YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE ME!" Iris Heart said she chased after the regenerating boy who would become her new favorite toy.
A Couple of Days Later.
After a few days later, everything had returned to normal. Of course nothing was never normal around here. They learned that Neptune had an addiction to pudding. Peashy and she had a fight over the last cup of pudding and the two were not talking to each other. Akikaze was trying to cheer up Peashy and Seth was doing the same to Neptune. The other CPUs arrived and told Neptune that there was a battery cannon on an island called R-18 and was a potential threat to the peace that the four nations made. So they had to investigate the island.
At R-18 island.
This island was definitely not meant for children. Luckily Seth was mentally in his early twenties, however he made Madoka stay back with IF, Compa, and the others minus Nepgear. For some reason she came along. So the group consisted of Seth, Neptune, Nepgear, Vert, Noire, Blanc, and Pluita. The dress code for the island was to wear swimsuits or go naked. Obviously Seth wore a swimsuit as did the others. They encountered someone that they didn't expect to see again. Linda was appearing to them as a tour guide.
"Ah, it's you. You're the one who kidnapped Rom and Ram!" Neptune said a she pointed at the pale skin girl.
"This bitch kidnapped my sisters." Blanc said as she brought out a battle hammer.
"WAIT! I don't want to do a life of crime anymore. I've Changed my ways I swear!" The CPUs decided to give her a chance, but they would not show any mercy.
They were shown to a beach that would make any average teenage boy's nose bleed like a waterfall. There were hundreds of women that were in their birthday suits. Seth was about to bleed when he noticed that there was this strange white stuff covering the parts that every man wants to see.
"What's that white stuff?" Seth asked Linda.
"That's mysterious light grass. It loves risqué places." Linda said.
After some antics, the group was now enjoying the beach. Seth never really realized that the CPUs in their goddess forms were really attractive. They were without a doubt some of the sexy women he saw. They were called goddesses for a reason. Seth was slowly falling asleep. He was working on his tan.
An Hour Later.
"Hey everyone, who wants a drink?" Linda said as she brought the group drinks. The group had no idea that Linda had spiked the drinks of the special drug. As the group was about to grab a glass, Seth used the force and took the pitcher. He drank straight from it. The group watched as Seth gulped the pitcher of tea down. As they were about to start drinking the tea, Seth fell to his knees.
"Seth?! What's wrong?!" Nepgear said as she was the closest one standing next to Seth.
"My body feels really warm." Seth said as his internal body temperature was rising.
"You bitch, what did you do?!" Blanc yelled as she got out her hammer.
"I didn't want anything I swear!" Linda said, but at that same moment something fell out of her pocket. It was a bottle of some sort of medicine. Vert picked up the bottle and read the effects on the back.
"Warning this will cause increased shyness in women however in men this medicine will act like an aphrodisiac!" Vert shouted the last part in shock.
"APHRODISIAC?!" Seth shouted in pure shock. He looked down at his lower member in horror as it started to rise. He grew a very bright red blush on his face. He had to get out of here. They had no clue just how fast Seth could use Accel so when he left the group traveling at Mach 2 it was definitely a shock. Linda tried to take advantage of the confusion to escape, but she was stop by Plutia.
"You know I could've sworn you said you change your ways-" Plutia transformed into Iris Heart. "-I guess I'll have to punish you!" Iris Heart said as she began her punishment. The CPUs minus Iris Heart were now focused on trying to find Seth. They just couldn't leave him alone. Not when he was sick.
Back at Planeptune.
Madoka and the other little sisters that were left behind plus the children, Compa and IF decided have their own pool party. It was fun for a while, but the two kids got hungry and didn't want to get back in the pool. So Akikaze and Peashy changed and eat lunch together. It was around this time that a woman came into the Basilicom that claim to be Peashy's mother. Her name was Rei Ryghts. Akikaze for some reason decided to look at the woman's purse. He found some sort of odd purple candy with a glowing power symbol on it. That women when she came back then used some sort of drug on Peashy that brainwashed her. She said that the Rei was her mother and went along with her. Rei failed to noticed that she was missing two CPUs memory.
Back with Seth.
Seth was currently sitting inside of a cave he found and was dealing with his growing issue. He was a guy and well there was one thing he could do to relieve the stress. Masturbation was a normal thing many teenagers did as they discovered their sexuality. Seth just didn't do it much because he generally had a low sex drive, but right now his libido was in overdrive. The last thing he wanted to hear was someone next to him.
"Seth?! What are you doing?!" A familiar voice said. Seth turned his head and saw the goddess Purple Heart standing behind him. She had transformed to speed up her search to find him. She was little shocked at the sight in front of her.
"Um, lady Purple Heart can you please leave. I um..." The last thing Seth expected was to have a hand grab his manhood.
"Maybe I could help you out." Purple Heart said a she began to move her hands on Seth's manhood.
"Eh?" Before Seth could react, Purple Heart began to move placed his member inside of her mouth. The sensation was completely different from what Seth was doing earlier.
"Wait! I'm gonna cum!" Seth was already close to finishing when Purple Heart found him, so it was no surprised when he released his fluids so quickly. Seth's hips trembled as he ejaculated.
"Seth." As Seth was processing the current situation, Purple Heart called his name in a sultry manner. The Sith lord looked towards the goddess and saw that she had exposed her chest. Without even wasting a second, Seth began his assault on the goddess's breast. As Seth began to suckle on Neptune's right breast, while playing with her left nipple with his right hand. Neptune let out several moans of pleasure and in the midst of Seth's assault, she looked down towards him and couldn't help but smile.
"You're just like a baby." Purple Heart commented as she looked at Seth.
"Seth, stop." Seth didn't want to, but he did. He looked up to Purple Heart in confusion. Did he do something wrong, he wondered.
"There's more to a woman then just her breast." Purple Heart said as she got up and took off the bottom of her bikini.
"I want you to touch me down here." The goddess said as she laid on her back and exposed her womanhood to Seth. The clueless man approached her and brought his head down between her legs. He began to move his tongue around, not really having an idea of what to do, but that soon began to change as Purple Heart began to moan, and the Sith lord began to focus his attention on spots that got a reaction from the goddess and began to lick up this unknown sweet tasting liquid coming from her.
"Seth! I'm gonna-! AHHH!" Neptune's legs suddenly clamped down on Seth, bringing him closer and he soon found a liquid entering his throat. Neptune released his hold on Seth and began to pant as she basked in the afterglow. She soon felt two hands on her legs and Seth was ready to go to the next step. Neptune adjusted her hips up slightly, ready for what was next.
As Seth's penis entered the goddess, he felt the wall of her vagina wrapping around his member. He began to thrust in and out of the goddess and both we unable to hold in their voices.
"Seth! Seth! Seth!" Neptune yelled as she allowed her lust to fully take over.
"Harder! Yes!" Neptune order and the Sith answered. He increased his thrusts and knew he wasn't gonna last much longer.
"I'm almost there!" Seth said in between his breaths.
"Just a little bit more, I'm almost there too!" The goddess stated. As the two were about to finish, Seth was about to pull out, but he soon felt Neptune's leg wrapped around him.
"Don't stop!" Seth couldn't fight back anymore, be intensified his thrusts before both Neptune and he came. Neptune was resting up, when she felt Seth moving again.
"Huh?"
"Again." Seth said as he stole a kiss from the CPU and continued to thrust again and again.
