    Fora: (Looks at Braik.) Oh, hi Braik...why are you blushing?

    Braik: :blush: Uh...I just kinda thought dirty for a minute...

    Tera: What? You thought I was doing something bad?

    Braik: :blush: ...I’m not in this...

    Braik’s Room


    Fora: I’m sorry about Tera’s attitude...

    Braik: Eh...don’t worry about it...

    Fora: ...did you really want her to, though?

    Braik: No! I’ve said it before, haven’t I? I have no reason to look at a girl’s naked body.

    Fora: But, you’d enjoy looking at it, right?

    Braik: :blush: Well...uh...do we have to talk about this...?

    Fora: *smile* No, but don’t worry. It’s natural for a guy to think that way. Unless, he has a different orientation...but that’s their opinion. They can be what they want.

    Braik: *nod* She sure is...

    Fora: Is what?

    Braik: (Rubs the back of his head.) I wouldn’t want you to get mad about my opinion...

    Fora: It’s okay...really. I won’t get mad. Promise.

    Braik: Well...she’s just really...

    Fora: *chuckle* Oh, she can be much worse.

    Braik: Really...?

    Fora: Yep. You wouldn’t really believe me, though.

    Braik: *smile* I probably would. *chuckle*

    Fora: *chuckle* So, how’s your decision been coming along?

    Braik: ..... *sigh* I’d rather not really talk about it right now...

    Fora: ...alright...just remember, it is your choice.

    Braik: *nod*

    Fora: ...I suppose Tera and I will take a shower before we get to Genomia...*laugh* Okay, then. See you soon, Braik! (Leaves.)

    Braik: Okay...

    Aria: Seriously...such impurity...

    Braik: Eh?

    Aria: How do you expect to keep a girl if you always have an attitude like that?

    Braik: Like what?

    Aria: Wanting to see every girl’s...you know!

    Braik: What?! I said I didn’t, remember?

    Aria: You know...I admit that Tera may be a little...you know...but she knows if guys like that kind of stuff.

    Braik: stare Do you know a guy that doesn’t?

    Aria: No, and that’s the problem!

    Braik: *sigh* You’re really gonna have to get over it, Aria. I don’t think you’re gonna be able to find a guy that doesn’t like that. A relationship wouldn’t work out if he didn’t...

    Aria: .....

    Braik: ...?

    Aria: ..... *sigh* You’re right...you’re right, I know...I just don’t want to do that...

    Braik: Who said you had to? Guys like to see that, but that doesn’t mean they want to do that...

    Aria: Really...?

    Braik: *smile* Yeah...but, if you do find a guy that does want to do that, I suggest you let him sometime. (Pats her on the shoulder.) You need to have more confidence in yourself and believe in yourself.

    Aria: I know... *smile* Thanks, Braik.

    Braik: Any time.

    Aria: (Leaves.)

    Genomia: Under Watch


    Tabbin: Oh, man...what a fleet...!

    Moonbeam: I’m seeing a target of at least twenty ships...

    Leroy: this could be bad...

    Braik: Tell me about it...but this could also be fun...

    Zombon: Don’t get ahead of yourself.

    Braik: Trust me...I won’t.

    Pursuit Eliminated


    Karen: That seemed a lot more difficult than any other thing we’ve come up against.

    Braik: Definitely...Mortola’s gotta be here, then!

    Tsunesuka: It’s only a possibility. Don’t go guessing.

    Braik: *sigh* Alright... ‘But, I don’t need to guess. I know Mortola’s down there, so I need to stay focused...’

    Fora: (Talking with Sarra.) Sarra...I’m getting really worried about Braik...

    Sarra: What about him?

    Tera: You can’t see it? Even I can see it...

    Fora: *nod* He knows something, Sarra. He’s hiding something from us...

    Karen: No kidding...he’s never like this...

    Braik: ...let’s go, guys.

    Genomia


    Amy: (Lands.) Wait...I know this place...

    Braik: You do?

    Amy: *nod* In my travels from Hell, this was one of the first places I ever came to.

    Nat Nat: Cool! What kind of place is this, then?

    Amy: It’s a cross between a forest...

    Braik: ...and?

    Amy: *smile* And a hot spring!

    Fora: Ooh! A hot spring?! (Looks at Braik.) What do you say we go?

    Braik: Huh?! But...don’t we...

    Amy: We’re not in any big hurry.

    Nat Nat: And some of us would enjoy something other than a shower.

    Fora: And, it will loosen up your body, so you can fight better! What do you say, Braik?

    Braik: Well... (Closes his eyes.) When you put it that way... *sigh* Alright...we’ll spend the night at the inn, then.

    All: (Cheer.)

    Braik: But, one night. We can’t go wasting a bunch of time on this.

    Fora: Right!

    Braik: Which way’s the inn?

    Amy: This way! Follow me! (Walks.)

    Forest Area 5


    ? Neko: (Walking with her hands behind her back.) *smile* It’s another great day...huh? (A Darkness appears.) Uh...oh...

    Braik: Look out! (Uses a fireball on the Darkness and stands in front of her.) Hurry! Get somewhere safe!

    ? Neko: *nod* (Hides behind a tree.)

    Amy: Wait... (Blocks a Darkness’ attack.)

    Battle Complete


    ? Neko: (Walks out.) Um...thank you.

    Amy: ...I knew it!

    ? Neko: Uh?! Amy?!

    Amy: Damn right! I told you I’d be back one day!

    Braik: Wait...you know this girl?

    Amy: (Folds her arms and turns away.) Of course I do...she’s just some dumb neko.

    ? Neko: My name is [Alyss], Amy!

    Braik: Alyss...what’s a neko?

    Nat Nat: *sigh* stare Seriously...do you ever read?

    Fora: A neko is a person that’s part cat...you know...tails and ears.

    Braik: Ah...I got ya, now.

    Amy: Anyways, Alyss here was one of the few that gave me a lot of trouble here...

    Alyss: You’re just saying that because you wanted to go out with some guy, and I wouldn’t ask him for you!

    Amy: Exactly.

    Alyss: If I did ask him, he’d want to go out with me! I told you that a million times!

    Amy: Then you should’ve said you weren’t interested.

    Alyss: stare Same as ever, Amy...

    Amy: What’s that supposed to mean?

    Alyss: It means you’re an idiot, and I’m smart.

    Amy: And, you’re the same as ever! *angry*

    Alyss: *angry*

    Braik: Okay, knock it off! Fighting each other isn’t going to get us anywhere!

    Alyss: *sigh* Right...so, who are all of you?

    Braik: I’m Braik.

    Fora: I’m Fora.

    Nat Nat: And I’m Nat Nat!

    Alyss: (Bows.) Nice to meet you.
    Sorry about my attitude earlier. Amy’s not the easiest person to be friends with.

    Braik: Tell me about it...

    Alyss: I see you get my point.

    Braik: *smile* *nod*

    Fora: So, do you live here?

    Alyss: No...I lived on a different planet...in the universe the Force Base floats. But, it’s gone, now...

    Braik: Wait...what?! (Gets in a huddle with his group.) It can’t be that she’s from Sunatsu...

    Nat Nat: Seems that way.

    Braik: Is she, Amy?

    Amy: *sigh* I’m not sure. She might...

    Braik: You said you met her here...

    Amy: I did. But, I don’t have proof that she lives here...

    Braik: stare And what’s your story with her?

    Amy: Eh...let that not concern you!

    Braik: *smile* And the guy?

    Amy: :blush: ...I was bored...

    Braik: Yeah...I get what you wanted...

    Amy: Err...shut up!

    Braik: So...then it’s true?

    Amy: stare What’s true?

    Braik: That Succubus want a male’s seed?

    Amy: :blush: Um... *sigh* (Hits Braik on the head.) Shut it, you idiot!

    Braik: Wh...what was that for...

    Alyss: *sigh* (Puts her hands behind her back.) As usual...

    Nat Nat: ...uh?!

    Amy: Huh?

    Fora: Nat Nat...?

    Nat Nat: (Her bunny ear twitches.) That’s strange...I sense...feel....I... (faints.)

    All: Nat Nat! (All run over to her.)

    Local Hospital


    Aria: (Closes Nat Nat’s door and walks up to Braik.) ...I’m assuming this isn’t your fault.

    Braik: It’s not...

    Tsunesuka: Seriously...what happened to her?

    Braik: (Stands up.) Yeah...she said she was sensing something...right?

    Amy: Yeah...but, she never sensed anything before...why now?

    Alyss: Well...everyone is born with senses. They don’t just come to you...

    Braik: True...

    Tera: Hmm...maybe Nat Nat can sense her own species?

    Alyss: No chance. Usagi can’t be sensed. Only elements and incredible power.

    Nimista: Maybe...Xell?

    Braik: I doubt it...as far as I’m concerned, Xell has to be close to the base by now.

    Nimista: What can he be planning?

    Zombon: ... Nat Nat might be sensing an enormous power.

    Braik: Huh? Why do you say that?

    Zombon: Well...I have to mention that Nat Nat can’t be a normal fighter. There’s something odd about her...

    Laura: How so?

    Zombon: I think that...Nat Nat has a strong hidden power. And, I’m not talking about power like Braik’s, either. I’m talking about an insane buildup of power.

    Braik: Look, it doesn’t matter right now! She’s safe, she’s fine, let’s just not worry about this.

    All: .....

    Hot Spring Entrance


    Alyss: You’re staying here for the night, then?

    Braik: Yeah...we don’t have much of a choice.

    Amy: Thanks to me!

    Braik: ...let’s just get in and get some sleep...

    Nat Nat: .....

    Braik: (Looks at Nat Nat.) You okay?

    Nat Nat: Yeah...I’m fine...just a little tired...

    Braik: We’ll spend some time in the hot springs, okay?

    Nat Nat: *nod*

    Hot Spring


    Braik: .....

    Leroy: ...so...Fora told me about you and her...

    Braik: Huh? (Looks at him.) What about it?

    Tabbin: Ah...come on, man. You know she likes you.

    Braik: Let that not concern you!

    Chains: Then, what’s holding you back?

    Braik: Nothing, alright?!

    Amy: That’s all you ever say...

    Braik: Wha?!

    Tabbin: Hey! This is the men’s side!

    Amy: Ah, who cares? Go check out the girl’s side.

    Braik: ...no.

    Amy: You really should. I’m telling you.

    Braik: I’m not a pervert!

    Amy: I’m not saying you are. I’m telling you to eavesdrop.

    Braik: Huh?

    Amy: (Disappears.)

    Braik: ..... (Walks over to the wall.)

    Tabbin: You’re really gonna look?!

    Braik: I just wanna listen. (Eavesdrops.) :blush:

    Fora: *sad* Well...Braik’s not a bad person...

    Aria: *sigh* stare Seriously, why do you always talk about him?

    Fora: (Closes her eyes.) It doesn’t really matter...

    Aria: Oh...?

    Fora: (Stands up.) I’m going back, now... (Leaves.)

    Aria: ...was it something I said?

    Alyss: I think you might have hurt her feelings...

    Aria: ...really? I didn’t want to act rude to her...

    Taliss: It seems like that’s all you ever do...

    Nat Nat: It is...all you care about is tormenting Fora, and making Braik look bad...

    Aria: *sad* .....

    Karen: I don’t care if you hate Braik, or not! He’s a really nice person!

    Aria: ... *sigh* You’re right... (Stands up.) I’m going to go apologize to her...

    Tera: Ooh! And don’t forget to give her a hug!

    Aria: Don’t expect it... (Leaves.)

    Braik: :blush: ...I think I’ve heard enough...I wonder how Fora’s doing... (Leaves.)

    Inn: Fora’s Room


    Aria: I’m sorry, Fora...I’m just not used to him, yet...

    Fora: ...you’re not used to anyone...not even me...

    Aria: .....

    Braik: (Eavesdrops.)

    Fora: You’re never going to understand friendship if you act like this all the time. (Stands up.) I don’t know why you can’t just be yourself! (Opens her door and sees Braik.)

    Braik: .....

    Fora: ...hmph! (Leaves.)

    Braik: Uh...

    Aria: ...She’s just...too right...

    Braik: Huh?

    Aria: (Looks at Braik.) ...I need to stop acting...stop acting like a b***h! :tears: (Runs away.)

    Braik: .....
