i can’t stop drinking oil. <- guy who’s reread BibliophiLe for the 3rd time
(Ao3 fic by @lizzle-the-edu-gamer / sonomly) (srry if u dont like being tagged)
Tumblr media
maybe its because most of the time i dont really pay attention to the descriptions of a character’s clothes but. i swear. ive always thought during my first read of this fic that the sweater kaminari gives monoma was orange and black striped. then i reread it and its actually monochrome??? how did i think it was orange?????
im not super proud of this one (drawing is hard. and trying to make the colors look decent is harder) but i love this fic so much i need to have a copy of it injected to my brain

Nine Lives To Short Part 4: Not Yours To Lose
♡♡♡♡♡💔💔💔
Tumblr media
Paring: Shinsou x Reader
Genre: Angst
Taglist @foxypuppy @bakuhoetoedoroki
Plot: You only have 9 days to tell him how you feel but maybe 9 days just isn't enough
-The time as come for your date-
"You ready, Cat?" Shinsou asks opening the taxi door "Yeah I'm ready Shinsou" you say with smile.
" JUST GET IN CAR YOU IDIOTS!" Katsuki yells while he kicks Hitoshi in the back "Ok Ok calm down Bakugou!".
All of you get in taxi, you in the middle, Shinsou on the left and Bakugo on the right. "Again why is Bakugo coming on our date?"
Kaminari closes the taxi door " Because I'm broke, Izuku has training to do and plus...."
Bakugo takes it wallet and waves a credit card in your face " I have Icy Hot's credit card!".
Izuku looks surprised " Hey I-isnt that Endeavor's?...."
Without saying a word Bakugo just rolls up the window sticking his tongue out at the both of them. "KACCHAN DON'T WASTE EVERYTHING ON ENDEAVOR'S CREDIT CARD!"
" LIKE LOSING 50 CENT IS SO FUCKING IMPORTANT TO THE NUMBER 1 HERO SHUT UP DEKU! AND YOU DARE TELL ICY HOT".
Bakugo kicks the drivers set "THIS IS YOUR FAULT FOR NOT PULLING OFF EARLIER! DRIVE DUMBASS!"
The taxi takes drives off, you slap Bakugou in the back of the head " What's wrong with you don't talk to the driver like that! HE'S LITERALLY THE ONE DRIVING US TO OUR DESTINATION"
"Tch, be glad I got this extra moving this damn thing".
Hitoshi sigh while you and Bakugo argue back and forth " Hey Y/N"
You and Bakugo are pulling on each other's face pinching one other but then stop to look at Shinsou "Yeah?"
"OI DON'T IGNORE ME!"
"That eyepatch that Denki gave you is it bothering you?"
"OH YEAH THE EYEPATCH" while the boys were visiting you Kaminari gave you an Eyepatch for your "messed up eye" as a get well soon gift that he asked Momo to make.
"It's fine Hitoshi you don't have to keep checking in on me"
"Well that's not true I should always be checking in on you I basically have to since you like to keep secrets"
The taxi stops at a red light....behind a line of traffic.
"Secrets? What about my secrets am I not aloud to have them Shinsou?"
Hitoshi crosses his arms "Well when you keep secrets about the pain you're feeling that's definitely not something to keep to yourself but here you are". You look at Shinsou but he doesn't look at you he actually turns away from you facing the window.
"Hitoshi...."
" OI WHY DID WE STOP MOVING?"
The taxi driver looks back at Bakugo and points to the now green, " WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU POINTING AT THE LIGHT IS GREEN KEEP IT MOVING!".
" Hitoshi what's up with you why are you acting like this?"
Hitoshi face palm's "I've been like this for the pass week! I've noticed you've been acting weird first it's asking for your quirk to be Erasure by Aizawa then you don't eat lunch! THEN you asked that stupid hypothetical".
" YOU'RE STILL ON THE QUESTION"
"YES YOU THINK I JUST FORGOT ABOUT IT THE NEXT DAY HELL THE ONLY WAY I KNEW YOU WERE HURTING WAS BECAUSE I HAD USED MY QUIRK ON YOUR DAD.
You look away from Shinsou crossing your arms as well shouting at him "YOU USED YOUR QUIRK ON MY DAD WHAT HECK SHINSOU WHAT'S !WRONG WITH YOU. Do you think this is easy for me? having to deal with that fact that I'm running out of time and I only have 9 days left to live! You think I can just blurt that out!".
Hitoshi finally looks at you but the look in his eyes....the look of despair is all you see.
"What...."
"Shinsou i-...I can explain...."
"YOU'RE DYING IN 9 DAYS! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!"
"Hitoshi...this isn't the time or place to talk about this!" You lean back hitting you head on the window but then you realize, " Wait I'm sitting in the middle how did I hit the window, why didn't I hit Baku...BAKUGO!
You and Hitoshi stick your heads out of the window to see Bakugo jumping on top of each car and truck hoping car to car making his way back to the taxi from the front of the line of traffic yelling " OI YOU SHITTY DRIVER!"
" BAKUGO GET YOUR ASS BACK IN THIS TAXI".
Bakugo being Bakugo ignore you and stomps on the hood of the taxi " SHITTY FUCKING DIVER ANSWER MY QUESTION!"
"Y-yes?.."
" YOUR QUIRK TELL ME WHAT IT IS NOW! RIGHT NOW"
" W-when I tap my foot I-i can make people see different colors... it's not special why d -do you ask....".
Explosions pop in Katsuki's hand like someone lit thousands of firecrackers all at once " IT'S YOU YOU'RE THE REASON WHY EVERYONE IS STUCK HERE DAMMIT THAT LIGHT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE FUCK BLUE! IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE GREEN LIKE DEKU!".
The taxi driver claps his hands turning off his quirk making the traffic light turn back to green.
" W-what do I do now-".
Bakugo steps on the windshield cracking it.
" When I get in that back seat you better STEP.ON.THE.FUCKING.PETALLLL!!! YOU GOT IT!" The taxi driver nods with tears in his eyes waiting for Katsuki to get back in taxi.
Bakugou walks to back of the taxi getting in as he grinds his teeth slamming the door, " AND QUIT YOUR JOB WHEN YOU DROP US OFF YOU SUCK AT DOING SUCH A BASICALLY HUMAN REQUIREMENT I FUCKING QUIRKLESS WANNABE CAN DO THIS 50 TIMES FUCKING FASTER AND BETTER!".
The driver rides off while you and Hitoshi are left dumb founded " Bakugo....what the actual fuck". Bakugo ignores the both of them "Shut up! Don't say a word to me it's not me who you should be talking to right now."
Hitoshi puts his hood over his head " That's what I meant back keeping secret...what the hell am I suppose to do with that information"
" I don't know! Do what you will with it!"
" THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY! DO WHAT YOU WILL WITH IT?!"
You go quite as you hear that spine chilling voice once again.
He says...." You are such a fool"
" AND THERE YOU GO NOT SAYING ANYTHING!"
"HITOSHI SHUT THE HELL UP WHY ARE YOU SO WORKED UP ABOUT EVERYONE IS GONNA DIE! You are never gonna know when you will die! We could die in a car crashes right now and say fuck my 9 days left! THAT'S HOW THE WORLD IS!".
Hitoshi grabs you by your shoulder and hood falls off but in the process of it falling you and Bakugo see his his tearful face.
" It's not suppose to happen to you Y/n NOT THIS EARLY W-WE STILL HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD TO-"
You punch the back the head of the driver's seat yelling " WAKE UP HITOSHI I'M NOT YOURS TO LOSE!"
.
.
.
"How could you say that.... your gonna lose him Y/N"
" I need to get out of this car right now..."
Hitoshi says as he unlocks his side of the taxi the door.
" Hey! Where are you going! Hitoshi!"
" Don't say what you think he's just blowing off steam...but you'll explode....it always come to that point"
The clouds above start to settle making there dark night sky into grey gloomy night.
" Where are you going back to her!?!"
He stops walking "Of course he does".
" Who told you..."
You start to laugh as rain lightly pours down, " Ha HA WOW! Looks whose keeping secrets now!"
" Tch it's technically not a secret if you knew for a while"
"Hitoshi don't get smart with me just get back in the car please".
"No I'm not getting in".
In the blink of a eye the rain turns from a light shower to heavy, the sound of every droplet hitting the ground can be heard.
Bakugo closes his eyes as he knows what's about to happen "Fucking dumbass's"
" Hitoshi get in the car!"
"IM NOT GETTING IN THE CAR"
"FINE GO BACK TO HATSUME!"
Hitoshi clenches his fist "MEI HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU DIEING SO DON'T BRING HER INTO THIS IT'S NOT HER FAULT"
" Y/N...you are such a fool" the cat says as he lays ontop of the car rooftop.
" IF ANYTHING IT'S YOUR FALUT! YOU'RE THE REASON IM GONNA DIE!"
Hitoshi just turns away and continues to walk away "YEAH GO AHEAD WALK AND DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT IF I DIE IT WILL BE ON YOU HITO-"
Bakugo covers your mouth and pulls you back into the car "You really don't know when to shut up, Oi driver...the petal STEP ON IT!"
They drive off as Shinsou walks away in the rain.
"Bakugo let me go!" " No dumbass just stop fighting! He's gone ok....he's gone".
You holds bakugou's arm " h-he's gone...." you snatch off the eye patch throwing it out of the window while the purple sits on your lap.
"You made him leave, why even act surprised it was only a matter of time"
"....Bakugou where are we even going?"
" Where the hell else we're going on a date"
You glare at Bakugou "reallllllllly??? But why?"
Bakugou turns his head away blush while he pets your head running his finger through your hair "If you do have only a limited time....I wanna treat nice so we don't end on bad terms and plus I don't need a fucking spirit haunting me".
You smile right after that you place your hand on Bakugou's face " Bakugo that's so sweet of you" " Tch shut up dimwit"
-A few minutes go by-
You and Bakugou lay in the taxi though Bakugou is awake while you sleep, he's been calling Hitoshi but it just goes straight to voicemail.
" Stupid Cat lover I can't believe he left me with her like that when I see that idiot I'll give I'm a piece of my mind"
"Umm sir this is your stop?"
"YEAH JUST GET ME OUT OF THIS SHIT"
Bakugo kicks open the door stepping out the car with you on his back. He walks towards the restaurant but then stops as the taxi driver honks the horn " I-I dont get a tip?...."
"A tip?....YOU WANT A TIP I'LL GIVE YOU A FUCKING TIP HOW ABOUT YOU GO FUCK YOURSELF AND YOUR SHITTY QUIRK AND YOUR SHITTY TAXI SERVICE! NEVER EVER GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AFTER TONIGHT!".
The taxi driver speeds off leaving dust in bakugou's face "I'm gonna find him later and kill him"
" Thanks for making my eardrums bleed"
"Thanks for waking up just in time for dinner".
You get off of Bakugou's back stretching and yawning "Hey before we go in I want you to know something", "Hm? Yeah?".
"No matter what happens to you if you die or not...always know that every second is a gift".
He turns to you holding out his hand "So come on chances like this happens once in a lifetime don't waste this second".
You take Bakugou's hand " I wouldn't dream of missing this gift.
.
.
.
For the rest of the night you and Bakugo have a fantastic time, you start to see a side of him that no one else's sees. Bakugou can be caring sweet and kind regardless of those facts he's still Bakugou so you know when the bill came he was outraged and made a scene.
-Meanwhile with Hitoshi as he was making his way home-
Hitoshi looks across the street and stares at you house and thinks about he used his quirk on your dad it reminds him of all the words people used to say about him and his quirk
"You a Hero HaHa! You're kidding right Hitoshi!"
"A hero who brainwash people come on get real that'll never work"
" Your qurik isn't really fit for a hero"
".....it's was you that made me believe I could be someone more"
Shisou think's back to the day you stop up for him when he was being picked on by the other kids.
"HEY! DONT MAKE FUN OF SHINSOU! I think his quirk is super cool! He'll be a really cool hero that saves the night! The Awesome Hero MindFreak!"
"Mind Freak....I like it..."
"See Shinsou likes it!"
" Of course Y/n thinks Shinsou's cool you think anyone with a power is cool"
"I bet you she wants to be a hero too! With no quirk? Now that funny!"
"Don't listen to them Shinsou I know that one day people will see how great you are like I do You'll be a great hero !"
Hitoshi frowns while muttering " A great hero....that's funny because how could a great hero make such a rookie mistake".
"I'm no great hero....I wouldn't even call myself a villain. If the reason for your pain is me....if I'm the reason for your death then I'm nothing but a monster".
He drys his eyes before walking inside "Nothing but a monster."
♡♡♡♡♡♡💔💔💔
Even though tonight ended with a somewhat happy ending for one of our heroes the clock is still ticking
"And we are finally on track with on plans of stopping".

i stg hbt is one of my favorite hot takes on abo. like the ways laws work in most abo’s are always so loose or like rapey if they’re even there at all & i’ve just gotta give you props for writing drama w/o fetishizing rape culture (if that makes sense?). ANYWAYS i have Questions! accidental bonding=accidental pregnancy levels of social stigma i.e. dumb&irresponsible? how DO kiri’s parents react? actually how do their friends react, while we’re at it. why did kiri think his hero career was over?!
HEY SO IF U HAVENT FINISHED HEARTBEAT THUNDER STO P READING THIS
actually stop everythign ur doing and go read my fic bye
anyway hhhnnnn you are so kind to me i die. this is way long so here’s a read more
accidental pregnancy is like nothin compared 2 accidental bonding,,, when you got so many people just have super fertile sex all the time in so many different ways sometimes pregnancy just happens and like u just go abort it if you dont want to have it, its not a big deal really, people gonna give you a lecture like “you have been taught about birth control since u were ten WHAT are you out here doin”
sex ed is like a huge thing in hbt really so pregnancy isnt like, the MOST common thing in the world but it happens and barring irritated parents its not a particularly big deal cuz like. well for one you can just terminate the pregnancy and ur fine, but for two adoption is so huge and there’s so many willing parents out there that you can go that route too
i was gonna write a scene with kiri’s parents but then decided it didnt really add anything to the plot but im pretty sure one of his moms says something like “why couldn’t u have just gotten him pregnant instead’ so. 
like straight up it’d be less weird for them to come back and say they’d eloped and are married
accidental bonding is. like. kind of pretty taboo and not something that happens often. its mostly just drama for soap operas for teens and their grandmas to watch together and gasp behind their hands “i would NEVER”
muzzles are (meant to be) pretty fool proof, bakugou’s just.... too much pride and self confidence and lack of fear while at the same time being skilled enough at maintaining himself during heats that he even is ABLE to undo the latches
. its really rare for couples to do do rut/heat shares without like, explicitly talking about it first because it’s not like anybody is surprised by heats except for weird circumstances so it’s almost never ever that there aren’t muzzles or other barriers in the way (i mean its quirk society so who knows, if ur alpha has six mouths then there are blocking collars so) and also it’s not always that an alpha feels compelled to bite like that in rut anyway
all that to say that kiri’s parents are Not Happy At All especially his mama because she’s been sitting here the whole time just kind of waiting for them to break up. mom cycles between ‘oh its so ROMANTIC’ and ‘how did i raise my son so wrong’.
it’s rougher than w bakugou’s parents for sure. the bakugou’s are actually weirdly chill about the whole thing and that’s because they know their kid and they know that with anything he does he’s All In so they’ve long accepted kirishima as part of the family forever. mitsuki panics because she thinks kirishimas gonna be mad enough to do something stupid and leave bakugou (which. he can, technically, but it’s p much a form of psychological suffering for both of them after that.)
bakugou’s parents didn’t do their bondmark until katsuki was like, already ten, and a LOT of couples never even do it at all, so, it’s not taken lightly 
they also do NOT tell them that bakugou took the muzzle off himself and let them think that kirishima managed to tear it apart with his quirk. that’s an executive decision made before talking to them about it
kiri worried that his hero career was gonna be over because like. the publicity of trying to be a new aspiring hero while having a bondmark at 18 is not easy. there are a lot of agencys who would fire a hero or demote them to sidekick for that kind of thing. 
BUT izuku obviously isn’t gonna do that. gang orca doesn’t give a shit either as long as bakugou gets work done and also bakugou’s suit hides it, so
as for their friends uhhhhh first reactions are not always Great but everybody loves them and know they’re good together so they get over it and it’s just another fact;
kaminari literally refuses to believe it’s not a joke until he sees the mark and even then he’s like ‘wow haha really good makeup effects’ in a wobbly voice
uraraka says loud and fake “IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU” while covering her mouth because she’s horrified
mina’s always wild and is like “DAMN boys hahahhaha bet i can get one that’s bigger” and then bakugo tries 2 explode her
tetsutetsu just like Quiet and Wide eyed like “yooooooooooo,,,, bro,,,,, wtf bro,,,,,,’
and everybody else is just like variations on similar themes. 
except izuku who legit just collapses onto the floor and talks to himself for a good five minutes while kirishima watches patiently, then he stands up and is like ‘alright. congrats ei i hope you two are very happy and i mean that for real’ and he’s hte nicest one about it

Yohei: *snarls* "WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, I'M GOING TO DO WORSE THAN JUST STOMP YOU WITH A STUPID DANCE!"
Queenie: "..." *licks the spoon clean with a smirk* "Temper, temper. It'll be the death of you."
Shotaro: "Yohei! I don't know how to stop her without hurting her! And she punches way too hard!"
Yohei: "..."
Shotaro: "YOHEI! I don't know what to do! Help!"
Yohei: "..."
mana: *PUNCH PUNCH KICK*
Shotaro: "YOHEI!"
Yohei: "!!! You need to break off the mind control!"
Queenie: "Ha! It can't be undone. Knock me out, and she'll stay in that state until I will her to stop!"
Yohei: *smiles* "I think you forget what is Shotaro's ability..."
Shotaro: "??? But I don't have any bones!"
Yohei: "Oh, yes, you do...PUNCH QUEENIE IN THE MOUTH!"
Queenie: "...I'm sorry, what?"
Shotaro: "??? I don't understand, but okay!"
Queenie: "!!! Akiho!"
mana: *lunges*
Luke: *laser sword out, swings at Shotaro--*
Shotaro: "?!!! Mana, forgive me..." *picks up Mana by the head--and flings her right into Luke's chest--*
*CRASH*
mana: *groan*
*Mana's head is now shoved _through_ Luke's torso*
Luke: O_O;
Queenie: "USELESS!" *stamps her foot* "DRONES! GET IN HERE NOW--"
*PUNCH*
Shotaro: *punches Queenie so hard it knocks out one of her teeth*
mana: !!! WHAT THE FUCK?!
Queenie: "GAH! ...WHAT THE HELL?! Do you know how much reconstructive surgery I needed just to keep up appearances?!"
mana: *shoves herself out of luke's torso and lunges*
Yohei: "..." *glances at Mana* "..." *looks at Shotaro* "I don't think Mana is out of the Waffle Woman's grasp. Her tooth is like a bone, so shove it in your mouth and take on her power."
Shotaro: "What?! I don't want to put her tooth in my mouth!"
Yohei: "You put dead animal bones in your mouth."
-PUNCH-
mana: THAT'S FOR THROWING ME INTO A GUY'S CHEST! as for you! *PUNCHES QUEENIE IN THE FACE*
Queenie: "GAH! Why is everyone PUNCHING ME?!!!!" *stamps her foot up and down* "DRONES! GET IN HERE ALREADY! KILL THE BOY AND THE OGRE GIRL!"
Shotaro: *knocked out, sucking on Queenie's tooth* XxX
mana: *GLARES* showtaro, get yohei. im gonna-....SHOWTARO!!
Yohei: "Yeah, maybe knocking out the guy who could absorb the mind-controlling powers was a bad plan, Mana..."
*windows open around the dome, with Drones pointing bee-stinger shaped projectiles at Mana and Yohei*
mana: WHY IS HE SUCKING ON A TOOTH?! *dodging* ugh NEVERMIND!
Queenie: "KILL THOSE BRATS!"
*stingers start firing towards Mana*
mana: *dodging* *running for showtaro*
Yohei: *looking around* "Huh...Fear Factory bots still have terrible aim, don't they?"
Queenie: "SHUT UP, YOU!"
Luke: *sparking...rips himself loose at the torso, running on two arms after Mana*
Shotaro: *groans, waking up* *looks up* "!!! Mana! A gremlin!"
mana: ?!
Luke: "Get back here! The Queen commands it--" *leaps towards Mana, mouth open--*
-POW-
Luke: *knocked back into the crucifix--slamming through it...*
Yohei: "..." *stands still...as the crucifix falls to the side, with Yohei still attached to it*
mana: oh shit!
Yohei: "Hi. Could you get me out of here already before we're shot to death? Or, so that _I'm_ not shot to death?"
Shotaro: "...Mana, you thinking what I'm thinking?"
mana: cant say i am, honestly.
Shotaro: "I'll take the top of the letter T, you take the bottom of the letter T!"
Yohei: "...No."
-and so-
mana: how do we get into these scenarios?
Shotaro: "Must be luck!" ^w^
Yohei: *hanging from the crucifix, staring facedown on the floor* "YOU COULD HAVE JUST FREED ME FIRST!"
Drones: *firing at Shotaro and Mana, running after them*
Luke: "Don't let them escape, Drones!" *still running on his arms*
Queenie: *holding ice to her mouth* "Give me back my tooth!"
*up ahead is a side: Turn left for Escape Pods; Turn right for R&D; Straight Ahead for the Cafeteria; Turn around for the Video Game Arcade*
Shotaro: "Ooh! Look! An arcade! Let's go back--"
mana: TURN LEFT!
Shotaro: "Okay!" *turns...right*
Yohei: O____O;
mana: SHOWTAROOOO! DX<
*The crucifix slams onto the floor...with Yohei underneath it*
Shotaro: "..."
mana: D8
*The Drones all stop*
Yohei: "..." *muffled groan*
Queenie: "...HA! NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS!" *leaps on top of the crucifix, stamping on it*
mana: *PUNCH TO THE BACK*
Queenie: *face-first into the wall*
Shotaro: *pushes the crucifix back up...* "So...How you feeling--"
mana: showtaro, come on!
Yohei: *freed--and his hands wrap around Shotaro's throat* "...Let's get the fuck out of here already."
Shotaro: XwX *choked* " 'Kay..."
mana: let's go!
Yohei: *runs with Mana* "Escape pods. I'll need to check the trajectory inside the unit..."
Drones: *firing at them*
mana: ACK!
Yohei: *taps onto the keyboard* "Okay--I programmed it for Death City. Get in--"
*CHOMP*
Yohei: "OW!"
Luke: *biting Yohei's leg*
Shotaro: "...Oh! Now I recognize him! That's the guy Mana fought in the Robot Tournament! ...He got shorter."
mana: YOHEI! COME ON! *reaches out*
Yohei: *reaches out a hand--*
*The door slams shut on the escape pod on Mana and Shotaro*
Shotaro: D8 *slams his fist on the door* "Hello?!"
Yohei: "...Well, shit."
mana: !!! SHIT! *trying to open the door*
Drones: *approaching*
Yohei: "...Mana, Shotaro...Tell Chie...I'm sorry."
mana: YOHEI COME O-
Yohei: *slams the button on the pod, shooting it into space*
mana: NO!!
Shotaro: *slammed into the wall, as the escape pod blasts towards Earth...*
mana: GRK-
Queenie: *watching from the window* "...Initiate Phase 2. Tell our soldiers to scour Death City--scour every major city. I have given you the map of the Dokeshi's locations--so we are moving forward..."
Yohei: *stares at her*
Queenie: "And bring him to my room. I'm not through with him...AND GET ME A DAMN DENTIST!"
mana:......DAMMIT! GOD! FUCKING DAMMIT!! STUPID YOHEI! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE A GODDAMN MARTYR ALL THE TIME?!
Shotaro: "Because he knows he'll be fine."
mana: how do YOU know that?!
Shotaro: *smiles* "Because things tend to work out when you work for them! We stopped Fear Factory before! How hard can this be?"
mana:.....
*something big and blue is seen through the window, quickly approaching*
Escape Pod Computer: "ERROR. COORDINANTS NOT RECOGNIZED. PREPARE FOR CRASH LANDING."
mana: !!!!!
Shotaro: "...Hey, is that the ocean--"
*SPLASH!*
mana: !!!
Shotaro: *slams into the wall, as the escape pod turns over and over itself as it descends into the sea...*
mana: shit!
*the pod finally smashes into the ocean floor...and something drips onto Mana's head*
mana: .....ha...hahaha....well...we're really fucked now, huh?
Shotaro: *looking out the window* "Oh, fish!"
Fish: O^o
Shotaro: "Hello, little fish--"
*a shark comes by, scoops up the fish in its mouth--then spits out the bones*
Shotaro: "..."
mana: .....heh....stupid showtaro...always so optimistic...even when we're probably going to die.....
Shotaro: "..." *grabs Mana's hat* "Here, use this to breathe for the next few minutes."
mana: !!!! my hat! how did you-
Shotaro: *leans back on his hands so he can lift up his feet--and slams them into the window, breaking it open, causing water to flood into the pod*
mana: !!! SHOWTARO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Shotaro: *disappears into the water, while the water rising, with Mana's head just poking over it next to the pod's ceiling*
mana: !!!! *shuts her eyes*
*something grabs her, pulling her down the pod and out the window--and up towards the surface
mana: ?!?!? *holding onto her hat*
Shotaro: *Bone of the Angelfish, as he assumes a more aquatic appearance, one arm around Mana while his back feet are like fins, helping him swim upward until their heads over the ocean's surface*
mana: *gasps and coughs*
Shotaro: *gasps, dropping the bone out of his mouth to lose the gills* "Woo! We made it!"
mana: ha..ha.....*laughs*
Shotaro: "Hee hee! We're alive, Mana!"
mana: *laughs* i was so scared, you dummy.
Shotaro: "Me too! You were all 'Ah, we're going to die!' so I did the first thing I could think of..."
mana: i really thought...we would die....you know the last thing i probably would have done?
Shotaro: "???"
mana: *kiss*
Shotaro: "...?!"
-they seem to be...floating?-
Shotaro: >\\\\\> "If-If you needed oxygen, I could've just gotten us here faster than you kissing me--...Do you...feel like everything's gotten lighter?"

-seems two figures are taking on a group of mooks, along with two kappas-
???: "Bone of Kangaroo!"
*a mook goes flying, crashing into the top of the vehicle, setting off the car alarm*
mono:...found 'em.
Bryn: "!!! Mana!" *waves* "How you doing?!"
Tool: *holding his stomach, dragging himself over*
minato: <tuhl!>
Tool: <?! Mom?!>
Emine: "...Ha."
minato: <we-he-hell! look at you, all grown up!>
Tool: -\\\\\- <Mooooom, stop, you're embarrassing me...>
kaoli: ^^;
Shotaro: *lands on the ground in front of Mono--his cloak lifting up to expose his boxers*
mono: D8
Emine: "Shotaro..."
Shotaro: "!!! Emine!" *hug--then pulls back, holding up--* "I stole the President's tooth!"
Emine: "...Shotaro, you're infringing in my territory."
Shotaro: ^^; "Heh, yeah..."
Mook: *approaching Mono from behind...*
mono: *ELBOW ATTACK*
Mook: "UMPH!"
Bryn: "Nice one, Mono! Mana, heads up--" *tosses a Mook towards her*
Mook 2: *HIGH-PITCH SCREAMING as he flies towards Mana...*
mana: *KICKS THE MOOK*
Shinoda: *collapsed on the ground, looking pale* "Apples...Someone, help me..."
lin: *takes an apple from a stand and gives it to him*
Shinoda: =w= *nom nom nom--powers up, Olympian pose* "I am ready!" *speeds across the field, swings his arms--and knocks back 20 Mooks in one blow*
Emine: "..." *removes a bandage...a small drop of blood forms, which circles around his arm, generating electricity* "Let's begin..."
grunts: HYAAAAAH!!!
Tool: *swings the pickaxe* <Mom, how did you even get roped into this?>
minato: <long story, kiddo. just in the right place at the right time, i guess.>
Tool: <Typical---Mana and Shotaro got all the dumb luck...>
*meanwhile, atop a building is an archer...*
???: *aims at Shotaro...fires*
Shotaro: *giving a noogie to a mook* "Say uncle! Say uncle!"
lin: *throws a fork at the arrow*
*the fork catches the arrow, knocking it away*
Shotaro: "??? Did anyone feel a breeze?"
???: wow, nice aim, sagi.
Sagitarrius: -_-# "It's not my fault--I wasn't expecting eating utensils."
???: come on canni, save your agitation for later, we got to report to the squad boss.
Sagitarrius: "Let's go..." *horse gallop...*

Kepuri: *piloting...looks out the window* "Enjoy the view, people--you're not getting a view like this from earth..."

PlushFix: "Makes you feel kinda small, doesn't it? ...Granted, I'm already tinee tiny now."
mimeca: *face against the window*
Kepuri: "Now approaching the Station. Turning on cloaking tech..." *presses a button*
*their spaceship seems to disappear...*
chie:....
Kepuri: "Okay, GET, put in the security code to get in through the doors..."
nea: ..um guys, i think we're about to crash onto the moon.
Kepuri: "Wait, what--"
chie: that's no moon....
PlushFix: "That's yo' mama."
chie: *GLARE*
PlushFix: ^^; "I didn't mean you! Jeez, just trying to calm everyone down..."
Kepuri: "That is a big facility...How are we going to find him in that?"
*CRASH in the back*

Zuno: *pops up in the back, gasping* "I CAN'T BREATHE!"
nea: .... -_-;;
PlushFix: "!!! A Klingon! Kill it! Kill it!"
mimeca: ._.
Kepuri: "How the hell did you get in here?!"
{Zuno: "Oh, a door!" *opens it, walks in--and falls into the storage closet on the spaceship*}
PlushFix: "THAT WAS MORE POINTLESS THAN USUAL!"
chie: we're here...
*the doors slide open into the Fear Station...*
Kepuri: *deep inhale* "Stay calm..."
PlushFix: "Someone, please hold me..."
mimeca: *does so*
PlushFix: =w=
chie:... *grimace*
*the ship docks*
Kepuri: *sighs* "Okay...We're still cloaked, so we need to get off carefully, quietly, find some disguises, and locate Yohei."
PlushFix: "Leave me to sniff out Yohei!"
Zuno: "???" *picks something off the floor* "Wow, astronaut's ice cream!"
nea: hands off, buddy.
Zuno: OxO *backs up--and falls out the spaceship with a loud crash into some boxes*
Kepuri: D8<
PlushFix: "YOU STUPID STOOGE!"
