Nyx had regained consciousness once Mercy's knee jabbed itself into her stomach. "Get off me!!!" She looks from Mercy, to two figures laying atop each other, outstretched in a compromosing position. She was about to laugh and comment, "Rainbow Pride!" when she relaized whom the strange man with black streaked orange hair was on top of. It was Seth. "HENTAI! ECCHI!"

The trench coat clad girl pushed the blonde girl off of her and dusted herself off. "Sheesh... get a room..." she muttered under her breath.

Nickolas had scooted over to the side and was leaning against the railing, rubbing is head with one hand. "Nani?"

In all the comotion, several men in black suits and dark glasses came running down the braod walk. They surrounded Nickolas.

"Sire,sire!" One of the lapdogs cried.

"Who are these? Secret service?" Mercy asked.

"Beats me." replied Nyx.

[In the backgroud Orion has lept off of Seth and was ready to punch the ecchi when both of them recognized the moon crest on each other's foreheads.]

The trench coat falls from Nyx's shoulders nad she steps from its folds, approaching Nickolas.

"Nakago-sama?"

Nickolas looked past the royal guards, his eyes focusing on the girl. "Dare da? Speak!"

The guards slowly backed away from him, with looks of terror on their faces.

"It has returned!" one of the lapdogs quivered.

Mercy grabed Nyx's arm. "Let's get out of here. I don't think that's good news."

Nyx was shocked at the blonde girl's sudden change. She even smiled.

"What?" Nyx saw the piercing cold aura which emitted from Nickolas' eyes. It was not the same as a few minutes before. She turned to Mercy. "Let's bail."

Mercy noded. "Orion!" she called.

Orion and Seth both turned towards their wards. Orion lent Seth and hand and pulled him to his feet, then quickly pulled away, casually wiping his hand on his pants before placing it inside the pocket.

With a wave of her hand, Nyx opened the MBC. "Come on." The quartet stepped inside with Nyx the last to step through. "Late Naki-poo."

Once inside, Mercy reveled at the vivid colors which surrounded them. "What is this?"

"My means of transporation."

"Where are we going?"

"Nowhere until you tell me why you're here. Are you asking for a death wish?" Nyx pulled out her sword, its blade shimmering.

Mercy felt defenseless. She was on Nyx's turf.

"FACE ME Tasuki-No Otaku!"

"No!"

Nyx lept towards her, striking close to the blonde girl's cheek, merely cutting a piece of her lovely locks. Nyx landed a few feet from her rival, her back towards her. Nyx smiled. "Come on," she chided. "Fight me."

A sterling rapier appeared in Mercy's hand. She stared at it.

"Fight me."

Mercy gripped it tightly and turned to Nyx. They Otaku's poised to battle. A slow smile creeped on Nyx's lips.

"You want me to fight? It would please you?" Mercy tossed the rapier aside--it drifted through the strands of light and vanished. "I won't give you that pleasure."

Nyx gawked in shock.

"I'm not here to fight you as your enemy...yet" Mercy's voice quivered. "I am here as your ally.......if you will have me."

Suddenly a portal appeared in mid air and a fuku clad girl tumbled out.
