Chapter 8 - Chapter 8.1 - All ready to go

After saying goodbye to big brother Zack and big sister Sasha, Alfie reached the 4th district with his flying skateboard. He gave it back to the rent shop, then he visited the tallest structure in this district, which was a structure built in the shape of an arrowhead, looking like it could pierce anyone coming close to it. Alfie saw people going in and out in high numbers, clearly very busy due to the Princess's birthday. He, without disturbing anyone, entered the facility after showing his badge—which clearly wasn't needed because he was one of the few kids who came here. After taking sharp turns and long hallways, he reached the top of the structure and came to a stop at a gate guarded by sharp-looking guys. He could hear people talking inside, so he waited patiently. After some time, many people got out in various types of uniforms.

Alfie, you're here, The voice came from a man clad in armor that looked forged from dragon scales, each piece glinting faintly under the room's pale light. Silver plating guarded his chest and waist, while small hexagonal metal plates reinforced key points along his body—his wrists, and four on either side of his abdomen. A sharp red cloth draped from beneath his waist plating, its edges fluttering faintly as he moved. The same crimson hue marked the undersides of his shoulder guards, making the color burn vividly against the deep black of his armor.

His boots, dark and layered with shades of black metal, extended into armor that framed his legs like sculpted stone. With his long white hair tied back, a sharp beard tracing his jaw, and eyes that seemed to pierce through steel itself, he looked less like a man and more like a battle god given form.

At that moment, he was holding a stack of documents, scanning them with silent intensity.

"Yes, Leader, I came back. Thank you for giving me this day off." Alfie stood like a military person and gave a salute.

"Hmm, good. Now go do your duty. Protect the little princess. Stay with her all the time. We don't want any problems right now, and of course, don't lose focus until the EIRNET Ceremony."

"Yes, Leader, I will do my job perfectly," Alfie said with full confidence.

"Okay, you may go now. Report me anything suspicious if you see one," Leader added.

"I do have something. Today, big sister Fia suddenly got severe Greynet energy overdose in her without realizing any symptoms," Alfie replied with the info.

"That Esjar kid, haan? Is she okay now?" Leader inquired in concern.

"Yes, Leader, she is fine. Must have woken up by now."

"Hmm, you have gone to the floating rocks area near here, right? I don't think there is any high energy source there. Maybe it's one of those special cases, but still, I will send someone to look for anything suspicious," Leader replied with a thought.

"Yes, Leader!" Alfie saluted.

"Then go now." Alfie started to go, but Leader added, "Aah, yes, don't forget to wear something good. Lots of people will be coming. Don't embarrass yourself. I have put something good for you—just wear that."

Alfie smiled and said, "Okay, Leader!"

The Leader sighed and looked out of his room, seeing lots of people in movement, both on the surface and in the air. He thought to himself, There is bound to be a lot of problems this time since the princess can't really control the HEART MACHINE. Without it, most of the people here will die from madness. Hmm, did that Zack guy save Fia? We do know he sometimes can control the madness, but no one really bothered by it since it can only be used on people he is close to. The city people didn't care, but if people from outside knew about this, then there may be some trouble. Well, I guess no one will really care with such small power, right? Leader thought to himself in contemplation while touching his beard.

In the 1st district in Sio's home, she was standing in front of her many clothes, deciding on what to wear. Thinking about what happened today still brought shivers down her spine. After a lot of thinking and moving around, she wore waist-high pants that reached just before her knees and black tights under them, slightly longer than the pants—also one more black tights from her feet till her knees, leaving only a small part of her thighs bare. With this, she wore a cream-colored cute shirt with straps on her shoulders and brown bands on her wrists, buttoned up till her neck. She was looking a bit boyish yet cute. She looked at herself and said, "Perfect."

Then she came to her mother, who was drinking alcohol while writing something in a notebook.

"Mother, you are drinking again. It's not good for your health," she said while looking at her mother, who was still in her sports bra and leggings.

"Hey, look at you!" She brought her daughter closer and made her sit on her lap and hugged her from behind. "Aren't you looking cute, my cutie pie?" she said while smiling.

"Mother, don't change the topic. You are drinking too much. It's not good." She saw her mother's hand, which had started to go black. "And see your hands. It's not looking good. You are worsening. You said you could hold until the ceremony, but I don't think so you really can. Today, Lady Sasha also got overdosed. What if, what if something happens to you? Then what will I do?" Sio said everything in panic.

Mother patted her head and said, "Calm down. It's true that it's worsening, but I don't have money to pay for the energy absorbers. We didn't have enough money while coming here, and I even lost my part-time job. Give your mother some time to think, okay?"

Listening to this, Sio got more worried. "No, Mother! I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna! We will go. If you don't go, I will not talk to you."

Seeing her daughter so persistent, she didn't refuse again and said yes, because she knew her condition was getting worse and worse, and she also thought she couldn't hold much longer. But I don't have money left after this. How will we live then? I don't want to take her to a lower district. This is extreme enough for her. She sighed and took her worry to her own mind.

Sio continued to tell her mother about big sister Sasha so that she could scare her mother a little so that she will not think twice before going. She talked a lot until the bell rang.

Trrrrrrrrrrrrrr

"Aah, that must be Gloomy. Let's go, Mother."

They both came and welcomed Gloomy.

"Oh my, Theo, welcome!" Sio's mother said gently. "You are also wearing a similar outfit as my daughter. Even your names match—Theo and Sio. You also look kinda similar. Why not become her brother for real?" Mother said in amusement after seeing Theo was wearing a black one-piece short pant style full-sleeve outfit with a green semi-circle design on the chest, long socks, and black shoes.

"Hmmm, Aunty, are you a goddess? I think you were the first one to say my name! I am so touched," Gloomy said while wiping his small tears.

"Huh? No one called you by name until now? Maybe Gloomy fits you more, Theo," Sio's mother said.

"It's okay, Aunty. I am sure readers would remember my real name from now on and will not call me Gloomy."

"Huuhh, what? What readers?" Aunty was confused on what this kid was saying.

"Leave him, Mom. He says and does weird things," Sio complained, seeing how she got ignored.

"And why did you copy my styyyllleee?" She was clearly not happy with this, since she took so much time for this outfit ! She pouted in anger.

"Don't worry. It's not the same. I am black, you are white. Yours is half-sleeve, mine is full-sleeve. Yours has a separate pant, and mine is one piece. Yours has too much design in your shirt. Mine is simple and clean, so it's cool, okay!" Theo said this and just brushed off her complaints.

"Nooooo, it's the same! Go change yours now!" Sio confronted.

"Hhuuuuhhhhh, noooo waaayyy! I am going. If you want to come, then come. Bye-bye, Aunty, have a good night. We will see you in the morning." Theo waved to Sio's mother and started walking.

"Moooooo, don't go without me, Glooommmyyy! Bye, Mommy, and don't forget !" She also waved to her mother while trying to catch up to gloomy.

These kids, haha. Sio's mother smiled. Feeling the wind's sharpness to her bare skin, she felt a little weird. I am still not used to this place, huh. As she thought this, she closed the door.

Seeing her mother gone, she thought, I guess asking for new devices is going to wait! Sio thought to herself as she kept following Gloomy while secretly looking around.

.

Zack, after getting no clues from his patrol, came back to his home, which looked similar to the one Fia and Big guy had. At his courtyard, he could see Tyra lying down and resting. Noticing him, Tyra got up and flew towards him, starting to spin around him trying to say something.

"Yes, yes, you are looking clean and fresh, little friend. Now keep resting. I have to go." He patted him and went inside where the door was already open—clearly Sasha knew he would come home soon.

"Big sister, I am home," Zack said loudly while removing his shoes at the door.

"Look who decided to show up. I thought you would miss the party," Sasha said while carrying her clothes with her, clearly selecting what to wear, but she hadn't changed from her green suit until now.

"Hmm, you haven't changed until now?" Zack asked in confusion.

"Of course, because I have to clean the mess this house was in and clean someone's gift, then try to choose what to wear. I guess I was doing nothing until now, haannn," Sasha said in slight irritation.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, that's not what I meant. Anyways, I am going to take a bath, then get ready." Zack decided to slip away.

"Hmph." Sasha just puffed fuming hot air from her nose.

Zack smiled and got into the bathroom, removed his tight black vest and his pants, then his second mini pant which was seen during his parachute. Geez, this is still an embarrassing style, he thought of that time and removed it, getting completely naked. He stretched himself and felt some numbness and pain from the fight. He saw some marks on his body from the fight. He sighed, shook his head, and got ready to go into the bath. But then suddenly the door opened and Sasha came in and stood before him.

Sasha stood shyly and said, "Let me take a bath with you. I will help you clean up." As she said this, she saw Zack's naked body with some bruises on it and his cock lying silently not giving any reaction.

Before Zack could send her out, she said, "I want to pay back for my mistake. Let me do it, pleasseeeee," she said pleadingly.

Zack thought for a second. Seeing her desperation, he said yes.

"Hehe, okay, help me remove my suit. I can't reach properly." She turned back and showed her back and hidden chain.

Zack took the chain and brought it down till her butt line, revealing her beautiful smooth silky back to him, with sweat falling down from her neck till her bottom.

Sasha, feeling good, started to remove her suit slowly, making sure Zack saw all her body. She smiled evilly. Then only bra and panty were left, which she removed completely slowly, making sure when she bent, he could see her pink beautiful pussy. Seeing a young beautiful woman naked would surely entice him, right? She turned happily but saw Zack already washing himself and was ready to put soap.

"Geez, why are you so fast? Wait, let me help you !." As Sasha's plan failed, she ran and grabbed the soap and started to put it on him. "You got so many bruises because of me. Does it hurt so much? I will heal you more," Sasha said sadly.

"Haha, no need. I am okay, big sister. Don't worry too much. Your brother is strong," he said as he showed her his biceps.

"Hmm, that is also true." She grabbed his arm and started putting soap on it, then she daringly moved forward and started putting soap on his chest while bending down, revealing her naked boobs and crotch in front of him.

Zack let her do it her way. Then she even put soap on his legs and feet, and finally, she moved her head toward Zack's sleeping penis. She was slightly shy but still chose to touch it softly and start putting soap on it. She carefully put soap on every part of Zack's penis, which still didn't show any reaction. Sasha also didn't say anything. After completing it, she stood up and said, "All done!" as she smiled.

"Hmm, thank you, big sister." Zack stood up. Now both bodies were close to each other, but they never touched. As he sat down and washed himself, Sasha, clearly not disappointed, sat down and put soap on herself while looking at Zack washing himself. She smiled sweetly and had some small talk with him.

Then Zack got into the bathtub. Sasha also finished and got into the bathtub. As she bent forward to sit in front of Zack, he could see her pussy in full view. She sat down close to Zack and leaned on his chest, his cock touching her ass, but neither showed any reaction—clearly used to this.

"So where did you go?" Sasha asked while playing with bubbles.

"Hmm, just a round to the city," he said casually, not telling the whole truth.

"Hmmm, is that so?" Sasha looked at him, bringing her face backward. "Fine, then." She chose not to push him.

"Fia must have woken up, right?" Zack said in thought.

"Hmm, yes, and probably getting ready for the party. We are the only ones late," Sasha replied while leaning on Zack.

"She looked in a lot of pain. I never got any overdose. I wonder if having power somehow reduces the chances or what," she said as she brought her hand in the air and brought glowing green lights out from her palms, making the scene beautiful.

"Don't worry, big sister. Even if something happens to you, I will be the first one to come and save you." As he said that, he hugged her waist with his hand and brought her closer, making Sasha feel blessed.

"Yes, I know that for sure, because my baby can't live without me." As she said that, she lay on his chest as support, clearly tired.

"Yes Yes, I will be there, Mother." As he said that, he let her sleep comfortably and tightened his grip a little so that he subconsciously wouldn't end up putting her under the water if he felt drowsy, and he also relaxed while looking up at the ceiling and taking deep breaths.

Both of them didn't notice a very very small energy particles coming out from Sasha body and going into Zack's body. As she got more comfortable and relaxed, she smiled in her dreams, dreaming of the first day when her grandpa brought a cute little baby in his arms and gave it to Sasha, who was old enough to take care of herself and her house all alone, but now there was a cute little baby in her arms which she had to take care of . She said in her dreams, "MY BABY," and even now she whispered, "My BABY."
