Chapter Text
If you want to see the worlds that Jay-Jay will go to, check out chapter 23 for 'Information for my Stories'.
Jay-Jay walked around the surface, taking down any raptures that gets in His way.
After ending the Battle of Impending Doom, peace have finally been achieved in the Omnisphere. Seeing that His job was done in that plane of existence, Jay-Jay teleported into a different Omnisphere and the world He landed is NIKKE: Goddess of Victory.
Jay-Jay continues to walk for a minute, before two tentacles shot at Him at rapid speeds.
Rapi notices Him first and her eyes shot up in surprise and concern as she tries to made a beeline towards Him. "Hey, look out-"
She stops herself from finishing sentence as Jay-Jay caught the two tentacles with ease.
Shocking everyone, even the rapture who looks at Him with a mix intrigue and...fear? That didn't go unnoticed with Rapi and Anis as the two look at each other with surprise while the commander looks confused.
"Who...who are You?" Anis questioned, not taking her eyes off the rapture.
"Name Jayvon Jayson," Jay-Jay answered with a warm smile. "And I'm here to help." With that, Jay-Jay pulls the large towards Him and slammed a flying back kick at the large rapture's core. The large rapture groans in pain and tries to retaliated. Unfortunately for the machine, the rapture shut down and spits out Marian, who is heavily injured and has blood dripping from her forehead.
"Damn, that nigga knocked the fuck out of the rapture so hard!" The commander shouted in awe.
Rapi lowers her assault rifle and just stares. She has seen so many things in her service as a Nikke, but she has never seen anything like that. 'He can't be human,' Rapi thought as she examines Jay-Jay's features and notices His...beautiful eyes and His tail. 'What is He?'
"Damn, I got to admit, that was badass," Anis said, letting out a low whistle. "You're certainly strong, Jay-Jay."
Jay-Jay acknowledge with a simple nod before approaching Marian, who is breathing heavily, her eyes have a dead look in them.
"Come h...here," Marian weakly said.
"Her brain has been corrupted," Anis said as she closes her eyes. It sucks that Marian had been corrupted, but nothing they can do about-
"Naw, her brain is no longer corrupted," Jay-Jay nonchalantly said.
Everyone turns to face Him with a confused look.
"You weren't here, so I advise You-" Rapi didn't get to finish her sentence as Marian is covered in golden light and is levitating off the ground.
Her injuries is being healed and life returned to her eyes as the corruption is being vaporized.
Rapi and Anis drops their weapons in shock while the commander takes a step back before falling on his behind.
After a few more seconds, Marian stopped floating and she blinks a couple times before looking around the area and her eyes landed on the commander. She immediately runs to him and knelt to his level.
"Commander, are you alright?" Marian asked, her voice laced in concern as she examines the commander's body.
"I-I'm good," The commander stammered out, still in shock at what happened, nonetheless, he just glad Marian is okay as he pulls her into a hug. "Just glad that you are still with us."
Marian blushed a bit, before returning the hug. Tears dripping from her eyes.
"What do You just do?" Anis questioned, turning her attention to Jay-Jay.
"I simply got rid of the corruption," Jay-Jay answered.
Rapi's eyes narrowed at Jay-Jay. "But how? You just said a simple statement."
Jay-Jay chuckles. "Well, the power of My voice is enough to deal with that."
Rapi and Anis exchanged skeptical glances with each other. They are on edge as this Jay-Jay character is clearly different from anything they are dealing with. His physical strength is not that of a human and now, He can override rapture's corruption and heal people with just His voice? Yeah, Jay-Jay isn't a rapture or a human.
Marian and the commander separated from each other. Marian walked up to Jay-Jay and gives Him a peck on the cheek.
"Thank You for saving my life," Marian said, her voice dripping with gratitude. "How I will be able to repay You?"
"Ah, there no need for allat," Jay-Jay said with a dismissive wave. "I'm just doing what any decent person would've done."
Anis snorts. "Right, I'm sure they are many decent people they would've waste their energy on saving us."
"Anis," Rapi sighed. "This isn't the time or place for your sarcasm."
Anis shrugs. "What? I'm just saying, it isn't everyday that someone will go out of their way to save a Nikke."
"You do have a point there, but it clear that Jay-Jay isn't like any other person," Marian chimed in, her eyes never leaving Jay-Jay. "Let's just be grateful that He took the time out of His day to help us."
"Right, it's obvious that Jay-Jay is a real nigga," The commander said with a small smile. "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce ourselves. My name is Zareen, but call me Zay. This is Marian," She points to Marian who happily waves. "She cool and sweet. That Rapi," he points to Rapi who just nods, "she cool, but she can a bit too serious at times. This is Anis," he points to Anis who is eyeing Jay-Jay. "she can be...a bit dark at times, but then again, she probably has bad experience with past commanders. Can't blame her for that attitude as well, I work with other commanders and they sure are arrogant."
"Nice to meet you all," Jay-Jay said, flashing them a sweet smile that made Marian's heart melted at how adorable it is while Rapi and Anis is taken back by it as they wasn't expecting it to be so blinding and wholesome.
'Damn, this Jay-Jay nigga is cool,' Zareen thought. 'I mean I know I just meet the nigga, but I feel safe and loved in His presence for whatever. Hmm, I definitely do some digging about Him when we get back to the arc.'
Suddenly, their comms cackled to life as a high, feminine voice come through.
"Squad, are you there?" She questioned, her tone urgent.
"Yes, we are here, Shifty," Rapi said.
The squad hears Shifty lets out a sigh of relief. "Good good. How was the operation? Any causalities?"
"The operation was a success, but we have an unexpected guest," Rapi answered.
"An unexpected guest?" Shifty questioned.
"Yeah, some guy name Jayvon Jayson joins the fight out of nowhere and ended it with one kick," Anis clarified as she crosses her arms. "And that not the crazy part, He override Marian's corruption and heal her injuries with just His voice alone."
"Huh?!" Shifty is shocked by this info. "You're joking, right?!"
"It isn't a joke," Marian chimed in. "He saved my life."
"Yeah, and He's cool too," Zareen added. "Actually Shifty, could you do me a favor? Can you search the database for Jayvon Jayson?"
Shifty was about to respond, but Jay-Jay beat her to it.
"No need to do that as nothing will come up as I ain't from this world," Jay-Jay said.
Silence falls over the group as they all look at each other.
"...What?" Anis broke the silence as she is flabbergasted at this. "What do You mean that You aren't from this world?"
"Meaning I have always existed and will continue to do so," Jay-Jay answered.
The squad look back and forth between each other and Jay-Jay, processing this info.
"Let's just move on," Rapi said, wanting to change the subject as she feels a headache coming on trying to comprehend Jay-Jay's existence. "Let's head back to the Ark and report back to Andersen."
"Way ahead of you, because this day has been weird," Anis said as she is already walking to the Ark.
Rapi following close behind.
"So, Jay-Jay, what is Your plans after this?" Zareen questioned. "I would advise You not to stay on the surface, but seeing how you handle that rapture...I'm sure You can handle the surface just fine."
"Well, I'm coming with y'all," Jay-Jay said.
Marian's eyes lit up in excitement. "Really?"
Jay-Jay nods. "Yes, really. I said I'm here to help."
Zareen grins and he daped up Jay-Jay. "My nigga! I will make sure You are comfortable on the Ark and if any person messes with You...just lemme know and I beat their ass."
"I appreciate the hospitality, but no need for allat," Jay-Jay said with a slight chuckle. "I can handle Myself just fine, just worry about you and your lady."
Zareen and Marian both blushed.
"W-well, I'm not the commander's girlfriend," Marian stuttered out as she turns away from Zareen. "Besides, I'm sure the commander doesn't see me that way."
Zareen scratches his head as truth be told, Rapi, Anis, and Marian are fine as fuck and umm...well, he was struggling to hide his arousal during this whole operation.
"Aight, if y'all say so," Jay-Jay said with a nod before turning on His heel and walking towards Rapi and Anis.
Zareen and Marian quickly followed behind and they were speed walking to escape the awkwardness.
2 hours later.
Jay-Jay and the squad made it back to the Ark as they exited the elevator and walks towards Andersen's office.
During their way there, they were met with either curious or fearful stares as they keep looking at Jay-Jay. Word had spread quickly about His capabilites and the Ark is divided on how to feel about Him as they don't know what His intentions or motivations are. They muttered to each other about the implications of having Him here and what does it mean for their world.
"Geez, these stares are irking me," Anis said with a shudder.
"It was to be expected," Rapi said with a sigh. "Quite frankly, I wasn't expecting Him to come with us either."
"But you have to admit, He will be a gamechanger around here," Zareen argued, his hands behind his head. "I mean c'mon, we have a nigga that isn't only strong, but can override rapture's corruption with His voice alone?! Man, we don't have to worry about Nikkes being killed as much anymore."
"Agree and it always nice to have an extra person to work with us," Marian said with a small smile.
Jay-Jay just waved at the residents of the Ark who awkwardly waved back, but it slightly put them at ease as hey, at least He's friendly.
They finally made it to Andersen's office and Zareen knocks on it.
"Come in," Andersen said from the other side of the door.
The doors open and they walked in.
Andersen is surprised to see Jay-Jay among with them as he wasn't expecting Him to be among them.
"Ah, You came," Andersen said with a wary nod. "Well, save us the hassle from trying to find You. Anyway, I have to say, you all handle the operation well, but your combat abilities can use a bit of work."
Zareen furrowed a brow at this. "What do you mean by that, sir?"
"Andersen is just fine," Andersen said as he looks at Zareen. "And I'm surprised you have manners."
Zareen looks offended. "The hell is that supposed to mean?"
"I read your files and quite frankly? It doesn't paint a pretty picture of you," Andersen answered, staring Zareen down. "When you was in the academy, you routinely get into fights with your fellow students and argued with your instructors."
"Well, I didn't like how y'all motherfuckers talk about the Nikkes," Zareen said defensively, leaning back in his seat. "I mean look, they are out there on the surface, risking their lives for this very establishment and our lives. Yet, they get disrespected because they are "machines"? Man, I call bullshit on that! They have feelings and thoughts as well, it ain't right that the military academy teaches us that bullshit about Nikkes are emotionless machines and that they should never disobey commanders."
Marian, Rapi, and Anis are stunned by this as this is the first time they seen a commander standing up for them. They know that Zareen was different through his actions in the operation, but this is whole new level while Jay-Jay nods in approval.
As for Andersen? He is impressed. "I admit, you got guts, kid, but be careful, guts can only get you so far. It's admirable that you care for your Nikkes and see them as equals. We do need to temper that temper and impulsiveness of yours."
Zareen scoffed. "Yeah, people keep telling me that, but I'm still here."
"That is true, but Andersen has a point," Jay-Jay said, leaning against the wall and turning everyone's attention to Him. "Anger can be a productive emotion, but it can also cloud your judgment, so use it wisely. And try to be more strategic because impulsiveness can get you killed." Jay-Jay turns His attention to Andersen. "And Zay is right, these Nikkes are human. Don't you think their needs to be a change in the ARK's government?"
Andersen raised a brow at this. "What do You mean?"
"I can see the future," Jay-Jay said, causing everyone to go wide-eyed or gasp. "And it's ain't pretty. This government would implode on itself if y'all don't get yourselves together."
Silence fall in the room as Zareen and Marian exchanged concerned glances with each other, Anis is starting to see that Jay-Jay and Zareen genuinely care, Rapi...well, she has a migraine now as she still trying to comprehend Jay-Jay's existence, and Andersen is deep in thought.
"Hmm, so You can see into the future and heal people?" Andersen said, a bit surprised at Jay-Jay's arsenal. "So You would be a huge asset to the Ark. However, I'm afraid You ain't welcome here."
"Not to speak out of turn, Andersen," Marian said as she stands up from her seat. "But Jay-Jay has saved my life, surely, you can have Him here as an ally. He wants to help."
Andersen sighs. "It's not me that the issue, it the rest of the Ark as Jay-Jay isn't a Nikke and there is no record of His existence. The higher-ups wouldn't want Him here as it clear that Jay-Jay will not abide by our rules." Andersen's eyes scanned the room to take in the expressions of Zareen and his squad. "And quite frankly, you will all get caught in the crossfire as it clear that you all have developed liking to Jay-Jay or a respect for Him, so for His and your safety...I will be sending you all to the outpost. ARK practically have no influence there, so you all should be safe and not interfering with ARK's politics." He sighs again as he looks at Jay-Jay and sees the mischievous twinkle in Jay-Jay's eye. "And that's not going to stop You from interfering, is it?"
"Nope," Jay-Jay shook His head. "But I will play along for now."
Andersen lets out a sigh of relief. "Thank You. However, I want to see how You and the others do in combat situations. Head to the stimulation room and I will let Ingrid know of your presence."
They all nodded and exited the room.
Zareen was the last one to exit the room.
He looks at Andersen and gives nod of respect towards him which Andersen returns.
Zareen turns around and quickly runs after Jay-Jay and his squad.
2 minutes later, they made it to the combat stimulation room.
"So, that was an interesting meeting," Anis said while she checks her ammo. "I didn't know that you used to get in fights for Nikke's honor, Zay."
Zareen shrugs. "Ah, it's no big deal. I see that no one else was standing up for y'all so I stepped up to the plate and do it."
Marian giggles as she put her hand on Zareen's shoulder. "Well, thank you, Zay. You're a good man."
Zareen slightly blushes at how close Marian is, but he plays it cool. "No need to thank me. I'm just practicing what I was taught at home."
Rapi keeps looking at Jay-Jay, she still can't comprehend Jay-Jay's existence. Not only that, but Jay-Jay is very, very, very handsome that it intimidating. She tries to keep her composure, but she keeps blushing and drooling. By some miracle, the others haven't seen her reaction to Jay-Jay and she is grateful as she doesn't want to take Anis and Marian's teasing.
She was about to approach Jay-Jay until the doors slide open and Ingrid walked in with a stern expression.
"Welcome," Ingrid flatly greeted, taking in their forms and expressions. "Andersen has informed of your combat performance out there and it does need some work," Her eyes landed on Jay-Jay. "And as for You, I heard that You took down a rapture with one kick, is that true?"
Jay-Jay nods. "It's true."
"I see. Well, You are up first," Ingrid said. "I'm going to put it on the most difficult setting. Can You handle it?"
"I can handle it," Jay-Jay said, cracking His knuckles.
"Hmm, let's see," With that, Ingrid heads to the computer and put it on the highest difficult possible.
The room changed in a destroyed cityscape with trap civilians and raptures everywhere.
Jay-Jay immediately sprinted in hypersonic speeds as He rescued the civilians and took them to a safe zone before entering back in the city.
The raptures noticed Him and they quickly advanced towards Him.
"Now then, knuck if y'all buck," Jay-Jay said before getting into a back stance.
"O Let's Do It" by Waka Flocka feat. Cap plays in the background.
The raptures stop their advance for a second, to see the source of the song. After a couple of seconds of looking, they couldn't find the source and continue their advance.
The first wave of raptures shot a barrage of lasers at Jay-Jay. Jay-Jay bob and weave through the barrage as He advances towards a rapture. The rapture shoot a missile at Jay-Jay but Jay-Jay jump on the missile and rides it as He changes the course of the missile and ride it into the rapture. Jay-Jay jumps off the missile and the mission collided with the rapture, completely destroying the rapture. A flying drone tries to shot a huge laser at Jay-Jay while firing a missile barrage at Him. Sadly for the drone, Jay-Jay walk through the attacks without a flinch and He grabs the drone and crushes it. Jay-Jay ducked under a tentacle from a huge rapture and He grabs the tentacle and lands a mean uppercut on the huge rapture. The huge rapture went soaring into the stratosphere to be never seen again. Jay-Jay hears a snarl before backflipping to dodge a bit from a bear rapture. The bear rapture lets out a huge roar that can be heard throughout the city before charging at Jay-Jay. The bear rapture swipes a paw at Jay-Jay, but Jay-Jay caught it and slammed a jumping knee strike at the bear rapture's jaw. The bear rapture staggers back, it vision blurry. He tries to roar, but it soon fall unconscious.
Suddenly, Jay-Jay is caught in a dogpile of raptures as they begin to unload bullets, lasers, and missiles on Him. It didn't work as Jay-Jay simply shrugged and the raptures went flying across the area. A massive rapture aimed at Jay-Jay and fire 4 huge missiles at Jay-Jay. Jay-Jay dodges the first one by sliding under it, dodges the second one by flipping, dodges the third one by straight up running on it, and finally, kicks the the fourth missile at the fourth rapture. The missile collided and the massive rapture stumbles back. The fourth rapture didn't have time to recover as Jay-Jay raises His palm and a ball of divine-demonic lightning appeared. Jay-Jay flicks it to the massive rapture and the massive rapture is vaporized. Two big raptures suddenly appeared and they raised their chainsaws and brought it down on Him. Jay-Jay dodges by performing a cross step. The two big raptures growls before they charge and attack Jay-Jay in perfect synchronized. Jay-Jay dodges all the attacks by moonwalking. The first big rapture grew tired of this and it's chainsaw glow red before thrusting at Jay-Jay's chest. Jay-Jay blocked it with His forearm before countering with a jab. The first rapture stumbles back before it shut down. The second attack begins to attack Jay-Jay in a frenzy, but Jay-Jay dodges all the attacks with kickspins before He ended with a combination of right hook and left cross. The second rapture is sent flying through the city before landing on the stimulation's wall, shut down.
A second wave of raptures appeared and they are more aggressive as they straight up firing a barrage of bullets, lasers, and missiles at Jay-Jay. Jay-Jay evade all the attacks with spin down shuffles and backspins. Jay-Jay windmills to a horde of drone raptures before launching a vicious uppercut. The force of the attack was so strong that time straight up rewind and the drone rapture were reverted to the first protype of drones. The rapture drones try to shot laser, but nothing is coming out. They panic and somehow begins to sweat as oh, they are fucked. The drone raptures wasn't taking their chances and straight up retreated. Bewildering the other raptures. The Titanoboa rapture recovers first and hissed before slithering at fast speeds towards Jay-Jay. It tries to wrap around, but Jay-Jay straight up dodges by head spinning out the way. Jay-Jay stops head spinning and counters with a jab. Jay-Jay hit the Titanoboa rapture so hard that it sees the future and my, what a beautiful future it is as it sees humans, Nikkes, and raptures living in a utopia where everyone is treated with respect and equality and equity reigned supreme.
The combat stimulation abruptly cut off and Jay-Jay put His hands behind His hand like nothing happened.
Meanwhile, in the control room, Ingrid, Zareen, and the squad watches with either wide eyes or mouths agape.
"Umm...the fuck just happened?" Zareen questioned, looking towards Ingrid.
"...The stimulation rage quitted," Ingrid answered, her mouth agape. She has seen a lot of things in her lifetime, but never no shit like that.
Rapi cocked a brow at this. "What? Has this ever happened before?"
Ingrid shook her head. "No, it's never did. I don't know why it's suddenly cut off."
"To be fair, He was kicking ass and taking names," Anis shrugged. "I mean it's never every day you see a sexy ass Man like Him combining boxing and breakdancing like that."
Marian turns to her with a surprise look. "Anis...did you just call Him sexy?"
"He is!" Anis said loudly. "And you can't deny it. I've seen the way you're looking at Him!"
Marian blushes and turns away. "Well, He is adorable. I want to pinch His cheeks."
"Focus ladies, this isn't the time to be thirsting over the new game," Ingrid chided firmly, although there a small blush on her cheeks as Anis and Marian is right, Jay-Jay is a fine ass Man. 'Mhm~, look at those tattoos. He could ruin my life and I will thank Him for it. UGH! Focus Ingrid! I need to figure out what just happened with the stimulation!' she thought as she types in the computer and pulls up the stimulation. She reads the combat date and it says. 'Hell naw, I ain't keeping with the stimulation! That nigga hit so hard that I can and my descendants can feel it! And I straight up the origin of existence and the future of it. That's shit was terrifying and beautiful at the same time. I-I have conflicting feelings about this. I need a day off.' With that, the stimulation shut down the computer and probably won't be back on in a day or so.
Ingrid is speechless as the combat simulation never did this before. Just what is this Jay-Jay? She thought before sighing and turning her attention to Zareen and his squad. "Since they simulation is out of commission, I'm going to have postpone your session until further notice."
"Ay, that's good with us," Zareen said with a smile. "We ain't in a rush for it."
"We understand," Marian said, her gaze never leaving Jay-Jay...who is making balloon animals out of an omniverses. Wait what?
"What is He doing?" Rapi questioned, her eyes narrowed.
"It seems that new guy is making balloon animals," Anis said, her eyes twinkling with interest. "I don't know what the material is tho'."
Suddenly, Jay-Jay teleported in front of them, startling Anis and she fired her grenade launcher out of surprise. Jay-Jay caught the grenade between it's teeth and eats it. Zareen gasped, Marian went wide-eyed, Rapi's eye twitches and she collapsed on a nearby chair as she done trying to comprehend Jay-Jay's existence, Ingrid just stares blankly, questioning if this is whole her new reality or is she tripping off them edibles again, and Anis drops her rocket launcher as she backed away.
"Did...you just ate a whole damn grenade?" Zareen stammered out.
Jay-Jay nods before passing him a balloon eagle.
Zareen takes out and he feels oddly...comforted? Not only that, but he looks in the balloon and sees the beginnings of life begin formed in the balloon animal. "Woah, what is this?"
"That My guy is a balloon animal made of an omniverse," Jay-Jay answered, looking at the balloon animal with pure love and adoration. "You got to feel how it is holding an omniverse, to witness the beginnings of life, and feel everything in it."
Zareen dumbly nods as he feels everything from love, hate, despair, wrath, lust, gluttony, etc. It was overwhelming, too overwhelming as he passes the balloon animal back to Jay-Jay and clutches his head.
"You okay, commander?" Marian questioned, putting a comforting hand on his forehead.
"I'm fine, Marian," Zareen said, giving her a small smile. "I'm just a bit overstimulated. I'll be aight."
Rapi eyes Jay-Jay. 'Creating omniverses balloon animals? That's sounds impossible, but given how the commander was acting...it's might be true. Just what is He? A god?'
Ingrid clears her throat. "You are all dismissed."
Everyone nods and exited the room.
Ingrid downloads the combat data before reporting back to Andersen.
15 minutes later.
"So..." Andersen sighs as he pinches the bridge of his nose. "...you're telling me that the simulation rage-quitted because Jay-Jay hits too hard?"
Ingrid nods. "Affirmative and apparently, He hits so hard that He somehow reverse time on a horde of drones."
"And He combined breakdancing and boxing? Just what are we dealing with here?" Andersen questioned as he pours a rum into a cup and down it in one go.
"That's not all," Ingrid said, causing Andersen to groan. "He can also create omniverses."
Silence fall between the two as Andersen down his second cup before spitting it out in shock.
"EXCUSE ME, BUT WHAT?!" Andersen screamed out.
Ingrid winces, but she quickly regain her composure. "He can create omniverses. I didn't believe it either, but after feeling the pure power radiating off that balloon animal...Jay-Jay isn't the average person."
Andersen leans back in his chair, running a hand through his hand as he can't believe what he is hearing. "So not only He invulnerable, but He can create life as well. Just what is He?"
"No clue," Ingrid shrugs. "But I do know is that we need to keep Him a secret. You and I both know that if word gets out about His abilities...people are going to use Him or try to sway Him to their side."
"Yeah, I agree," Andersen sighs as he sips his rum. "But the thing is, Jay-Jay ain't going to stay low-key, He already told me that the Ark is going to implode on itself and He seems that He has no intention of hiding."
"I get that, I do, but we have to convince Him to cooperate," Ingrid insisted. "The Ark is in a fragile position right now as Jay-Jay isn't our only problem here. Zareen is as well. We both know that Zareen has respect for the Nikkes and sees them as equals. Now, there nothing wrong it, but people have an issue with him. Not only for his stance on Nikkes, also because he has fight majority of the commanders here and won. And they are still salty about that. Now that Zareen has an ally in Jay-Jay...things are going to get worse from here. The Ark is fragile right now and the last thing we can afford is a civil war."
"I know, I know," Andersen strokes his chin thoughtfully. "I told that I will move them to the outpost, but it's obvious it isn't going to hold for long. That's not even mentioning Jay-Jay's speed. He fast enough to be in multiple places at once, so yeah, you're right we do need to convince to stay low-key. I just hope He listens."
"I hope so," Ingrid groaned. "If not, then we are just going to have to prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Enough about Him, what are your plans for Zareen and his squad?"
"Well, given how the combat simulation is going to be out for a while, we put them in a real combat scenario," Andersen answered, sitting up straight
Ingrid nods. "Sounds good. It's be a great way to see where they stand."
"Right. I will contact them now," Andersen took out his phone and call Zareen. It ringed for a couple of seconds before Zareen picks up.
"What's popping, Andersen?" Zareen questioned.
"I have a mission for you and your squad," Andersen answered. "There a power station on the surface that could supply Ark with power for two months. Investigate and make sure it's clear for us to use."
"Aight, bet," Zareen said, his tone filled with determination. "Anything else you need?"
Andersen shook his head. "No, that's be all." With that, Andersen hung the phone up and looks at Ingrid. "Let's just hope Jay-Jay doesn't tag along with them because God help us all if He is the very reason a civil war breaks out in the Ark."
Chapter 2: NIKKE: Goddess of Victory Part Two
Chapter Text
"Another mission, already?" Anis questioned as she, Rapi, and Marian got down checking their guns while Jay-Jay is leaning against the wall.
"Yeah, that's what the boss man told me," Zareen answered with a shrug.
"Well, it would makes sense given how a certain Someone made the AI rage quit..." Marian giggles softly while looking at Jay-Jay who just flash her a calm smile in returned.
"Hmm, how weird," Anis said, stroking her chin in thought. "They don't usually send the same group on a mission."
"Well, in this case it's understandable why they are doing," Rapi said. "They are curious to see how we work together as a team." Rapi's migraine finally subside as now, she isn't trying to comprehend Jay-Jay's existence anymore. Now, she looks at Jay-Jay with a curious look in her. She has seen many things in her service as a NIKKE, but a Man who can somehow manipulate time, has a voice so powerful that it can override and heal NIKKEs, and that can somehow combine break-dancing and boxing and make it work? It clear to her that Jay-Jay isn't human and His appearance gives it away as He has a tail and His eyes, while beautiful, are unnatural as she feels the sacred and demonic energy in them. 'Just what is He?' Rapi thought. 'And what does He always existed?'
She snap out of her thoughts when sees a white-haired girl with glasses hastily entering the room.
Zareen cocked a brow at this. "Hmm, who are you?"
"O-oh, I'm Neon, sir," Neon said, saluting Zareen. "I was assigned to your squad."
The squad look at each other with confused glances.
"Another NIKKE?" Anis questioned. "Well, this squad is starting to get a crowded."
"How unusual," Marian muttered to herself, her head resting on her hand. "A NIKKE squad usually consists of three..."
Rapi said nothing as she looks at Zareen, waiting for his next move.
"Well, nice to meet you, Neon," Zareen grinned. "I'm Zareen and that is Rapi, Anis, and Marian. They are cool. Welcome to the squad."
Neon flashed a bright smile. "It's nice to meet you all, I hope we all can get along!"
"Likewise, Neon," Marian said with a small nod.
Zareen's eyes travel downward and he sees her skirt is hiked up and her ass is showing. 'Damn, she has a nice ass,' Zareen lets out a low whistle.
"Miss, your butt is showing," Jay-Jay said, startling Neon.
Neon turns to face Him with a massive blush. "T-thank Y-You, Sir!" Neon adjusts her skirt and turns away from Him. "Y-You w-wasn't, were You?!"
Jay-Jay shook His head. "At your butt? Naw, I just noticed your skirt was hiked up and decided to warn you. I'm Jayvon Jayson, nice to meet you." Jay-Jay daps up Neon who is bewildered by the gesture and awkwardly returns it.
"Oh, You're the one Ingrid to sent me to watch over," Neon said, her face lighting up.
Rapi tilts her head in confusion. "Watch over?"
"Yes, you can consider me a spy," Neon said, her voice low as she pushes her glasses up for dramatic effect. "Ingrid inform me of Your Capabilities, Jay-Jay. And I have to say...You are a danger to the ARK."
She was met with an awkward silence as Zareen scratches his head, Anis and Marian exchange flabbergasted glances with each other, and Rapi said nothing.
Jay-Jay chuckles softly. "Yeah, I get that a lot, but don't worry, as long you don't hurt innocent creatures, then you have nothing to worry about that."
Neon studies Him for a moment and steam start coming out of her ears.
Anis notices this and got concerned. "Hey, are you-"
She was cut off as Neon dramatically drop to her knees and hiding her face in embarrassment. "I wasn't expecting Him to be so cute and sexy!"
She was meet with awkward silence as well...
They can't disagree with her as Jay-Jay is the cutest thing they ever seen and the most sex-
"Okay, okay, we are getting sidetracked," Rapi said, breaking everyone out of their stupor. "Commander, when do we leave for the power plant?"
"Ah right, my Black ass almost forgot about that," Zareen said as he straighten his posture. "We ride out now. Make sure y'all guns are loaded and stocked with ammo." Zareen turn his gaze towards Jay-Jay. "You coming with us on this one?"
"Naw, I'm not," Jay-Jay answered. "Y'all can handle this."
Zareen nods. "Aight, suit yourself." Zareen turns his attention back to his NIKKEs. "Now, let's bounce."
The NIKKEs nodded and was about to go until Jay-Jay pushes Himself off the wall and walked towards Rapi.
Rapi tries to question Him, but Jay-Jay pointed a His finger at her forehead and with a simple swipe, a golden light enveloped the room and everyone shielded their arms.
After a couple seconds, the golden light dies down and everyone hears a voice.
"Ugh...my head," A woman with red hair grunted out as she rubs her head. "What the hell happened? Last thing I remembered is that corruption killing me."
Rapi gasps out in shock as she drops her assault rifle. "R-Red Hood?! I-is that really you?"
The woman now named Red Hood looks up and her eyes lit up in happiness. "Rapi, it's so good to see you!" She examined Rapi's body and she lets out an impressed whistle. "And damn girl, you filled out quite nicely. How long has it been?"
Anis's mind is literally short-circuiting right now as what the fuck is even happening?!
Marian's hand covers her mouth. This shouldn't be possible as Red Hood been dead for years so how is she here?
Neon takes out a notepad and adds resurrection to Jay-Jay's ever-expanding of abilities.
Zareen's mouth is agape as oh shit, one of the most strongest NIKKE is alive?! 'Ain't no fucking way,' Zareen thought as he shook his head. 'Ain't no fucking way He straight up brought someone back from the dead?! Just what is this Nigga?!'
Rapi is a different story as she slowly approaches Red Hood who just tilts her head with a smirk. Before she knew it, Rapi was pulled into a tight bear hug. Rapi quickly returned the hug as tears begin to flow freely.
"I...I t...thought y...you were d...dead," Rapi said between her sobs.
"Well, I kinda was," Red Hood said, her voice soft. "But I kinda wasn't."
Anis cocked her head. "What do you mean you wasn't?"
"She means that her core was Rapi's core," Jay-Jay answered, causing everyone to turn their heads towards Him. "I see her core in Rapi and decided to separate it. Thus, effectively bringing her back to the land of the living. Her corruption ain't a thing no more."
Everyone looks at each other with awe as damn, they don't what Jay-Jay is, but it's clear that He is beyond any NIKKE and any rapture they have ever come across.
Red Hood separates from Rapi and she approached Jay-Jay with a sultry smile. "So You're the Man that saved me? Well, I have to say You are cute handsome~. How can I ever repay You?"
Jay-Jay waves His hand dismissively. "Oh, don't worry about that. Just keep being you, that is enough."
"Oh, You are quite humble as well~," Red Hood giggles, moving closer to Jay-Jay as she towers over Him. "See, Rapi, where you find this One?"
Rapi wipes her tears away and quickly regain her deadpan expression. "Well, He came out of nowhere and not only broke Marian out of her corruption," Rapi jerked her head towards Marian's direction, "He also healed from near death. It was...something to witnessed."
Red Hood nods along as she turns her attention to Marian who waves and flashed a bright smile. "So He saved you too? My, this Guy is quite the hero. Are any of you ladies dating Him?"
All the NIKKEs blushed furiously at that besides Rapi, who just deadpan at Red Hood's antics, but there was a faint smile as this was the Red Hood she knows and loves.
"N-no!" Anis quickly retorted. "I mean, H-He handsome and s-sweet, b-but I ain't into Him like that!"
"I-I j-just g-got here," Neon stammered out, fumbling with her notepad. "I was sent here to spy on Jay-Jay and Zareen's squad, not to land date with the perfect cheekbones guy!"
Marian clears her throat. "A-anyway, I think we should get going," Marian said, hoping to change the topic. "Andersen isn't a man that likes to be keeping waiting."
"Right, we can play catch up, later," Zareen said, recovering from his shock. "Let's just hurry and get this mission over."
Red Hood's eyes flickered with interest. "Oh, a mission? Can I come? It's a be a while since I had a good workout."
"Sure, the more the merrier," Zareen nonchalantly shrugged before heading towards the elevator.
"It would be nice to catch up," Rapi smiled. "We have much to discuss."
Red Hood grinned. "Sweet, let's go." With that, Red Hood wraps around Rapi and Marian's shoulders before following Zareen with Anis and Neon behind her.
Meanwhile, Jay-Jay exited the room to explore the ARK and the outpost.
Andersen's office, 3:24 P.M.
Andersen is sitting in his chair, going over some paperwork.
His phone ringed and he picks it up and sees it a call from Ingrid.
He furrowed a brow at this as Ingrid rarely calls him as she usually meets him if it something important. Nonetheless, he answered it and brought his phone to his ear.
"Ingrid, how may I help you?" Andersen questioned, his voice calm.
"Andersen, we have a situation," Ingrid said, her voice is a bit breathless and he can hear the amazement in her tone.
This is strange as Ingrid isn't the type to be amazed so easily. "What happened, Ingrid?"
"There been reports of people seeing the legendary Red Hood," Ingrid answered.
Red Hood? The NIKKE that have been dead for a couple of decades? How?
"Ingrid, are you sure you reading the reports? Or is it your edibles that having you trip out again?"
"I'm sure of it, Andersen," Ingrid said firmly. "She alive and seems to be her usual self. Last I heard that she was leaving with Zareen's squad."
Once he heard that she was with Zareen's squad, he immediately knew who was behind this.
"Jayvon Jayson," Andersen lets out an exasperated sigh as he takes out his cup and bottle of rum.
"You sure it Jay-Jay, sir?" Ingrid questioned. "And not the work of the raptures?"
Andersen himself a cup. "I'm sure of it, Ingrid. I mean He only proved that He can manipulate time and heal people from life-threatening injuries, so Him resurrecting people from the dead isn't out of the realm of possibility."
"Hmm, that is true," Ingrid conceded. "However, if He can indeed bring people from the dead, then what exactly are we dealing with here with Him in the ARK?"
Andersen down his drink in one go and leans back in his chair. "Then, it's obvious we are dealing with one of the gods of the old."
"One of the gods of the old?" Ingrid questioned. "You sure, Andersen?"
"I'm sure, Ingrid," Andersen said, his voice firm and filled with certainty. "I mean think about it, Ingrid, we have a Man that is obviously from not this world. Have you heard His voice? It's so deep and powerful that I'm sure that my toaster is now sentient because of His voice." Indeed as Andersen's toaster is now a member of the Absolute squad. He is beloved member there as hell, even Eunhwa likes the toaster although she would never admit it. That lowkey more surprising than finding out someone can resurrect people. "And now we are getting report that He can revive people from the dead...it's obvious that He is a god."
It was quiet on the other hand as Ingrid is deep in thought. After a couple of more seconds, Ingrid sighs. "You might be onto something. So we have a god in our ranks now? It's either a blessing or a curse."
"It's might be both," Andersen pinches the bridge of his nose. "It's a blessing because having Him around will be good for morale. A curse because if Syuen or Jien hears about Him...Syuen will use Him as a propaganda machine to increase the Missilis Industry power and influence while Jien will want to run experiments on Him."
"That is correct. What do you suggest we do? It's obvious that we have severely underestimated the implications of Jay-Jay's presence here."
"Your guess is good as mine. From my interactions with Him, it clear that Jay-Jay has no interest in staying under the radar," Andersen rubs his forehead as he can already the stress of dealing with Syuen and Jien's shenanigans combined.
"That does complicated things. Maybe we should arrange a talk with Him, get Him to understand the consequences of letting His presence or abilities known."
"It's worth a shot," Andersen said as he sit back up in chair to pour himself another glass of rum. "And get answers of what He truly is capable of."
"If it answers you want, then I'm here to answer them, My guy," Jay-Jay said as He suddenly appeared in front of Andersen.
"Oh shit!" Andersen is startled as he scoot his chair back, however, he did it too fast as he fell out of his chair.
"Commander Andersen, you okay?!" Ingrid asked, her voice laced with concern.
Andersen groans as he gets up and dusts himself off before grabbing his phone. "I'm fine, Ingrid. It's just Jay-Jay startled me, that's all. I'll call you back, right now, I need to talk with Jay-Jay alone."
"Understood. Let me know what you find," Ingrid hangs up.
Andersen puts his phone in his pocket and takes a seat. "Announce Yourself next time before You do that." He gestures to a chair. "Now, take a seat, we have much to discuss."
Jay-Jay takes a seat.
"Now, I heard that Red Hood is alive and well," Andersen said bluntly. "Was that Your doing?"
Jay-Jay nods. "You know it,"
"Just as I figured," Andersen rest his chin on his hand. "How did You do it?"
"I simply separated Red Hood's consciousness from Rapi," Jay-Jay said as He raise His finger and swiped. "Like that."
Andersen blinks as he wasn't sure he heard correctly. "Sorry, what?"
"Yeah, while Red Hood did died, her consciousness went into Rapi," Jay-Jay clarified. "And I knew the two wasn't able to share the same body as one of their consciousness would be erase permanently if it continue any longer. To stop it from happening, I separated the two."
Andersen listened to all of it and he grabs his cup and was about to pour some more rum, but he glances at the cup and the bottle of rum before shrugging and throwing the cup as he start drinking from the bottle as what is even reality anymore.
"So let me get this straight," Andersen leans forward to Jay-Jay. "Red Hood did died, but not really as her consciousness been alive in Rapi the whole time, but one of them will die if they continue to share the same body? And You knew all this, how?"
"I'm omniscient, I know everything," Jay-Jay answered with a nonchalant shrug.
Andersen did a spit take as that is outrageous thing to claim. "W-wait, can you repeat that again?"
"I know everything," Jay-Jay repeated. "Back when you were 15-"
Andersen quickly cut Him off by clearing his throat. "No need for a demonstration, Jayvon. I believe you, just don't make relive my embarrassing teen years."
"Aight then," Jay-Jay said as He created three omniverses with His fingertips before throwing them into existence.
Andersen watches with awe and amazement as he contemplating on how to use Jay-Jay's abilities to his benefit. "Alright, Jayvon. Answer me this for me...who is the one that really corrupted Marian before you saved her?"
"Enikk," Jay-Jay answered quickly.
Andersen's eyes widened in shock and horror. "E-Enikk was behind it?"
Jay-Jay nods.
"I see. This isn't good," Andersen rubs his chin in thought. "My question is, what does advantage she gain by corrupting Marian?"
"It was a deal she made with Chatterbox," Jay-Jay answered. "She made it so Chatterbox wouldn't attack the ARK or reveal the location to the other raptures and Enikk took that chance. She was doing it to protect the ARK, but that doesn't excuse her actions. Make it understandable, yes, but we won't let this slide as she put an noble lives at risk."
"I see," Andersen slumped in his seat. Then he realizes something. "Wait, you said noble lives at risk, you're telling me that she been doing this for a while?"
"Afraid so," Jay-Jay said. "But don't worry, this ends today. I will handle Chatterbox. You and the ARK can decide Enikk's punishment." With that, Jay-Jay stands up from His seat and exited the room.
Leaving Andersen in a suffocating silence as he still can't believe what he just heard. One of their own, sacrificing NIKKEs to keep the location of the ARK hidden? He understands the sacrifice of a few to keep many alive as he is a soldier himself, but he can't stomach the fact that a rapture knows the location of the ARK. However, he is a little ease that Jay-Jay is going to handle Chatterbox.
However, he realized something...Jay-Jay appeared out of nowhere, that means He has teleportion.
So Jay-Jay knows everything, can control time, can separate two souls from one another, and can teleport? Yeah, the ARK have an ultimate ally and...
He is sure the ARK is not prepared for having God among their ranks, but damn it, if He isn't the most helpful Guy that Andersen has the pleasure of meeting.
'I worry about Jay-Jay later,' Andersen thought as he gets up from his chair. 'Right now, I need to find Ingrid and tell her what really is going on.'
With Zareen's squad, 4:10 P.M.
The squad finally made it to the surface and they see the coast is clear so Zareen motioned them to move.
"Well, I see not much has change," Red Hood pointed out, scanning the changes.
"Well, we trying are best but them damn raptures are stubborn as a motherfucker," Zareen said, taking out a cigar and lits it up. "But don't worry, them motherfuckers will get what coming to them one day."
"You can say that again, Commander," Anis said, nodding in agreement.
"So Red Hood, I hope this isn't rude to ask, but what it's like being dead," Neon questioned, her voice filled with curiosity.
Red Hood lightly giggles. "Well, it's a bit complicated, but I wasn't really all the way dead."
Marian raised a brow this. "What do you mean?"
"Well, suffice to say cutie, me and Rapi were sharing the same body," Red Hood answered. "After the corruption got hold of me, I thought that was it. But it wasn't, this whole time I was sharing a consciousness with her. Ain't that something? So I have all her memories and I got to say...Zareen is a cutie."
Rapi's face went red, Zareen froze in his tracks, Anis stifles a giggle, Neon looks Zareen and nods in agreement, and Marian blinks as she wasn't even that.
"R-Red H-Hood!" Rapi stuttered out. "That was supposed to be a secret!"
Red Hood raise her hands. "Hey, I'm just sayin' and I agree, Zareen is a snack. I just want to eat him up."
Zareen blushed and coughs. "I-I'm flattered that you fine ass women find me attractive," Zareen was about to continued on until he realized he said that out loud. "Fuck! That was supposed to be my private thoughts!"
Anis couldn't hold in anymore as she doubles over and starts laughing. "O-oh I-I like her!" Anis managed to choked out between her laughs. "She's funny!"
"Moving on," Marian said, catching everyone's attention. "So you weren't really dead, but lock in someone else body? How strange, but I'm glad you with us, Red Hood. We're going to need all the help we can get."
"And it's good to be back," Red Hood said as she stretches. "So what been going in the Ark? Did I missed anything?"
"Naw, not much," Zareen shook his head. "Just the same ol' bullshit."
Red Hood cocks her head at this. "I take it that NIKKEs still get discriminated against?"
"Unfortunately," Anis sighs. "You wouldn't believe how many commanders think they are God's greatest gift to mankind."
"Anis," Rapi chided firmly.
Anis shrugged. "What? It's true! Don't act like it not!"
"But not all of them," Marian said as she looks at Zareen. "I mean Zareen used to get into a lot of fights on our behalf."
Neon's eyes flickered with intrigue. "Ah, Miss Ingrid did mention that about you! So tell me, who won the fights?"
"Me, of course," Zareen chuckles, taking a drag of his cigar. "None of them niggas know how to fight, so I use them to my advantage."
Red Hood raised a brow at this. "Oh~? You can scrap."
"You damn skippy," Zareen nods. "My grandmother taught me how to box while my grandfather taught me how to kickbox, so when I enrolled in the academy, I made damn sure no one knew to insult me or discriminate the NIKKEs."
"Well, you don't play when it comes to NIKKEs, do you?" Anis questioned with a faint smile.
Zareen his head. "Naw, I don't and why would I? I mean y'all girls bust your asses everyday to protect humanity so I don't get it. And I'm a Black man, so I can relate to y'all experiences with discrimination. Shit ain't right and will never be right and as long I'm still breathing, I'll gladly put any nigga in their place when they get to talkin' spicy about y'all."
The NIKKEs nodded in respect as they already respect Zareen, but hearing his side of the story, they respect him even more now as he sticks to his principals.
Suddenly, they start hearing chirping.
"Y'all hear that?" Zareen questioned, he frantically looks around.
"I do," Rapi answered, her hand on her gun, ready for anything. "Stay behind me, Commander."
"Where is it, coming?" Neon asked, her eyes darting around the land to locate the source of the sound.
"It's coming from..." Marian uses her heightened senses to locate the sound and her eyes landed on the tree. "Right there!"
The NIKKEs train their guns on the tree and Zareen got into a orthodox boxing stance.
However, it wasn't a rapture, it was a... barn swallow as it flew out tree and chirps even louder.
This confuses the squad as they all looked at each other.
"Is that a fucking barn swallow?" Zareen squinted his eyes to get a closer look. "Holy shit, it is!"
"But didn't they went extinct twenty years ago?" Anis asked, scratching her head in confusion.
"They did, it says so in the history books," Marian said, scratching her head in confusion.
The barn shallow chirps as it flew past and Zareen's squad eyes never leave it.
"This shouldn't be possible," Rapi said, utterly stumped on how this is happening. "Ever since the raptures take over the surface, the ecosystem couldn't support a large number of species due to how ravage the land is."
"About that, you might want to take a look around," Neon said, gesturing to the land as she scans the land is amazed at what she sees. "It's so pretty."
Indeed, it is. There are more trees than ever before, the air somehow feels cleaner and fresher, and even flowers that were extinct are now blooming beautifully.
Marian's jaw dropped. "Wow...this is..." She didn't have the words to describe as she lowered her weapon.
Red Hood lets an impressed whistle. "Man, that Fella who revived me sure is something."
"You think Jay-Jay is behind this?" Anis asked, turning her attention towards Red Hood.
"Mhm, yeah, who else could it be?" Red Hood smiled as she knelt down and picks a tulip. "I mean He already proved He can revived the dead, so this is light work for Him."
The squad looks at each other. She isn't wrong as Jay-Jay did prove that He capable of otherworldly things, but reviving an extinct species and changing the environment? This add a whole to new Jay-Jay's power and every feat He performs...the more they are convinced at how unfathomable it truly is. Just what have they brought to the ARK?
"Hmm, can influence the environment," Neon mumbled as she jot it down in her notepad.
Before they can fully it process it, they hear a fierce roar, forcing them to cover their ears.
"Ugh, my fucking ears!" Zareen groaned as he frantically looked around for the source of the sound. "The fuck was that?"
Rapi have her rifle trained as she assess the area for any threats. Her eyes landed on something in the distance and it is coming at them, fast. She was about to shoot it, but she hears it wasn't a rapture. Instead, it was something for more powerful.
It was an allosaurus as it roars as it picks up the pace.
"Is that..." Anis leans in closer to make sure she wasn't seeing things, "...Oh, it is!"
"An allosaurus?!" Marian gasped as she trained her gun. "I thought those things were extinct!"
"It was, but apparently, Jay-Jay's presence extends to things from millions of years ago!" Red Hood said with a grin. She is happy as she can be right now, she always wanted to a dinosaur, but she knew damn well they were extinct. Well, not anymore as one is currently charging at them. 'Hmm, I wonder what other species did He revive.'
"Umm...Commander, what is the plan?" Neon asked, slowly backing away while her shotgun is trained on the allosaurus.
"Everyone, unleash every damn thing you have on this motherfucker!" Zareen ordered as he fires his pistol at the dinosaur, but the bullets bounced off it's skin. "SHIT! I should've packed more fire power!"
"Commander, stay behind us!" Anis shouted as she aimed her grenade launcher at the dinosaur. "We got this!"
Red Hood cracks her knuckles before aiming her sniper rifle at it. "Don't worry, cutie~. We will show this overgrown lizard who is boss."
Marian shoot firing her assault rifle at the allosaurus. However, the allosaurus bobbed and weaved the bullets. Before jumping up and chopping down a tyrant class rapture by it neck. The tyrant class is taken back by this and tries to fight back by putting his massive cannon arm under the allosaurus' jaw. The allosaurus quickly lets go and back away, reassessing it strategy. The raptured aims and rapid-fired bullets at the allosaurus. The allosaurus zooms across the field, narrowly dodging the bullets. Once it is close, the allosaurus wastes no time as it swipes tail under the rapture's legs. The rapture is caught off-guard and feels down to the ground. It tries to get up, but the allosaurus is already on top of it and it chopped down on his neck. The rapture squirms, but it was no use as the allosaurus rip the rapture's head before spitting it back out.
The allosaurus lets one more fierce roar, before striding out of there.
Zareen's squad watches in amazement as first of all, where the hell did that rapture come from and how come it didn't hear it footsteps? Second of all, holy fucking shit, they just seen an dinosaur in action and it was badass.
Zareen drops his pistol as he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "Damn...that shit was dope!"
"Well, I'll be damned. Who know overgrown lizards could go toe to toe with raptures like that?" Red Hood lets out an impressed whistle.
"I...I didn't know that dinosaurs were that powerful," Neon said, her tone low in amazement.
"They usually aren't," Marian said, stroking her chin in thought. "Unless...Jay-Jay may have made them more powerful when He revived the species?"
"That's the only explanation that has plausibility," Rapi sighed as she already feels another migraine coming on. "Then again, what is even reality anymore?"
"A fun reality!" Red Hood exclaimed as she pulls Red Hood into a tight hug. "And lighten up, Rapi! Your big sis is finally back alive, so let's make every second count!"
Rapi rolled her eyes, but there was a faint smile on her face.
"Well, at least it seems that the dinosaurs is on our side," Zareen said with a relived sigh. "So that good. We can use this to our advantage. Now, let's head to the power plant."
His NIKKEs nods as they follow Zareen.
