 brought many conveniences with it as well. Unfortunately that meant that every time there was a power outage it put Lu in a bad mood. Ciel knew that once things were resolved her mood would improve, but until then he was stuck with an emotional demon queen with the disposition of a child.
Lu's expression soured, and she turned to glare at Ciel as they walked. "I can feel your disapproving thoughts Ciel. Even now you still think of me as a child? Need I remind you of your position?"
Ciel sighed again and barely restrained himself from rolling his eyes. "I would not view you as a child if you did not choose to act like one."
A grin that was equal parts vicious and mischievous stretched across Lu's face at Ciel's words. She had the perfect response prepared for times like this. "And yet you prefer females so young and underdeveloped. Isn't that right Ciel?"
Ciel flinched inwardly and his expression became distinctly uncomfortable at Lu's words. "Lu, now is hardly the time for your usual antics."
As the group head out for the mission, Sayaka would think about the challenge ahead.
I became a magical girl in the first place to save people from the wicked. I had only fought witches, familiars, and other magical girls.... But now, I am about to face something I have never faced before.... Am I really ready for this?
She stopped for a minute, looking at her hand, which shook uncontrollably. What if I go 'berserk' like I did last time? I don't want to put Nepgear in danger....
"If you're worrying about the future, you can't proceed from the present." Sayaka looked up and towards Estelle, who had her Sword resting on her back.
"Hey, I'm the main character aren't I? Also, I know a worrying look when I see one. Just live in the here and now, and then I bet nothing horrible will happen to you."
Sayaka would take a breath, before nodding.
"I do have cybernetic enchantments. But the thing is I don't exactly trust new hands poking and prodding around in my body. I've been through that too much at "home."
I can't promise you know all the parts of my terminator body and where to look and all.
He looked up at add "It's really hard to trust anyone right now, but to be honest Danger 5 is the first humans I met. Not sure if I'd completely consider them full friends."
Marcus was however considering upgrades, slowly.
"Where exactly do you have these, upgrades, Add?
The half terminator had felt weak at times to be honest, but that was all part of being human right?
"This is Lisa Lavender, here with breaking news!
The Maggia and League of Villains gang war has reached a new terrifying peak as Valpan's Pro-Heroes arrived to contain a recent skirmish between the two notorious criminal organizations in Midtown, Manhattan...
Wait, I've just received word that a Sandstorm has broken out."
A sandstorm in the city? Suspicious and peculiar...
 Even after just a few months of adjusting to life on this new Earth, she knew exactly what she should be searching for.
I smell....a superhuman.
Tohru's hyper-keen senses zeroed in on the eye of the storm in fractions of a second. Even with billions more humans wandering the world, it was still just as easy to pick an abnormal entity out of a crowd of ordinary souls. The mana flowing through the very astmosphere itself was far more plentiful than the world she had been in previously, augmenting her magical abilities even further.
The hot-dog stand right next to her flew off its support and crashed into the sidewalk across the street, much to the despair of its owner. 
Yet somehow, the winds weren't blowing anyone over in the process. The only real problem, in fact, was the sand irritating everyone's eyes. Tohru's laser-sharp sight was unaffected, but she pitied the humans who could barely see the emergency car lights flashing by the crosswalk. As an honest citizen, wasn't it her duty to make sure people could get to their day-jobs?
Behold! One of my 48 maid skills: perception blocking!
The draconic girl draped herself in a green aura, causing her to disappear from every spectrum of sight, sound, and smell all at once.
A little detour should be fine, right?
Tohru's wings sprouted into place, and she shot through the sky at the speed of thought!

"I'll be fine, doc!" Chiaki exclaimed in a rare burst of enthusiasm. "My friend's a nurse, and she said I'd be fine with physical activity...um...a few weeks ago...I think."
"Well...Just don't overexert yourself, okay?" Emu sighed as Chiaki told him that a friend of hers, who's apparently a nurse, said that she'll be fine with any physical activity...according to an assessment done a few weeks prior to her arrival here. "We don't know what the effects of Cross-Universal transportation are on the human body and quite frankly, I'm worried about it myself."
Nepgear gave Chiaki a heart-warming smile just as Red's vice-like grip grew tighter.
"Ow..." Chiaki muttered as Red squeezed her ribs. "J-just how strong is our paladin here?" Chiaki asked Nepgear through clenched teeth.
"Enough to throw a fridge," Ryuga simply informed, still salty about that particular interruption during his match against Rom and Ram. "So anyway, what quest are we doing again?" he asked, curious on what he and this mess of a harem crew had to do to earn some cash.
"Don't worry you guys, knowing pretty sure the plot's going to start moving ahead right after this bit..." Gwen explained.
"Could you guys at least take this serious?" IF crossed her arms out of annoyance, "This is serious! People are dying out there! You guys better head to the Bifrost bridge before whatever is attacking Gamsgard starts spilling over to Eurolitas!"
"Sorry!" Nepgear bowed apologetically before turning her attention to her party, "Alright, everyone! Let's go stop an invasion!"
 Ryuga cracked his fists, his smile bearing fangs to show his excitement for the supposedly dangerous mission. "Yeah, let's do this thing!" He raised his fist onto the air, cheering alongside the others as Nepgear rallied their morale.
 Ram joyously asked to her meeker twin.
"Yeah!" Rom eagerly nodded her head.
"You guys be careful now, reports from a village near the Bifrost said that those Dark Elves are no joke," IF gave the group a parting warning before they went off on their adventure.
"Don't worry, chances are... Thor's gonna have our backs," Gwen gave IF a cheeky wink to accompany her meta joke.
Geez...why am I going questing?
Chiaki pulled up her hoodie as if she was going to be bombarded by enemy fire the moment she stepped outside the guild.
Just follow along, and maybe you'll find some clues.
Emu walked over to Chiaki, placing his hand over her shoulder.
"You okay there?" He asked, wanting to make sure the youngest of the party is still alright. In games, sometimes the youngest, most inexperienced one in the Party ends up being the one to save the day. He had a feeling this one wouldn't be an exception.
"Yeah. I'll just follow your lead. You'll share some EXP with me, right? I'm pretty underleveled here...for once."
Chiaki took to the streets of Planeptune Central City, sticking around the middle of Nepgear's party. She really didn't want to try the "split up" tactic again.
Still...the city was so beautiful. Was she really going to let her thoughts get in the way of fully enjoying a real-life adventure?
"So, Yang," Marge gave the huntress a warm and comforting smile, "How's about we go and forget about our problems and just live life."
"Oddly specific wording but I'm up for it," Yang chuckled before shaking hands with the Matriarch of the Simpsons Family, "So, where are we heading first?"
"I heard that there's a place where they sell affordable Blurays," Marge said while her handshake with Yang took an uncomfortably long about of time.
Lisa approached the young fanus girl and waved at her, "Konichi wa, Watashi wa Lisa Simpson, desu."
Bart groaned at Lisa for speaking Japanese, "Oh come on, Lis'... I'm pretty sure she understands English just like everyone else here!"
"You wouldn't know that, Bart!" Lisa snapped at her brother before pausing to think about how he was indeed right about how the many diverse cultures and people seem to understand each other in spite of the language barrier.
"Its fine." Kanna says in response to Bart's blunt statement. She then reaches her hand, offering a handshake to the siblings. "Its nice to meet both of you. I hope we can be great friends." She says.
Instinctively, as though accustomed enough to unexpected appearances from unknown figures at this point
