Fallen Stars

Mystery Forty-Three

Ladies Brunch

**In Kin PikaPika

At The Entrance To

The Temple of the Sun**

Opening up the car doors, out steps Carina. Moving her hair as it flows a bit.

Carina: Ah~ Vulpecula, Rosa, and Baidam are waiting for me at the top.

Rick belches for a second.

Rick: As they always are, ma’am.

Carina: Good. I don’t need you all anymore, go home or somewhere else~

Rick and Sanchez: As you wish.

She blows a kiss to her bodyguards and turns to go to the stairs. Sanchez’s eyes turn into hearts, as he loves her more and more.

Rick: *Burp* Cut that out, weirdo.

Elbowing his coworker.

Sanchez: Right, my bad.

As she steps on the stairs, the bottom of her shoes starts forming sand.

Carina (cheerful): To the top~ This will only take a couple of minutes.

**At Macchu Ma Picchu**

(Vega’s Location.)

Surrounded by mountains, and clouds passing by. Vega is still training in his new style. Swinging his sword up and down, going through slashing attack motions.

Vega (sweating): *Whew*

Muppet: That’s better. Show me something.

Vega: What?

Muppet: Cut down that tree over there.

Muppet points to a tree in the distance. On the hill nearby.

Vega: Ok…

Vega gauges the distance, looks down, then quickly looks up with a determined face sending out a slash!! While mid-air the slash ignites turning into a fiery attack!! Then it hits the tree cutting it in half, then cutting into the hill a little bit!!

Muppet (shocked): (He possesses a crazy amount of physical strength!!)

The tree sparks catch on fire. Vega’s forehead starts twitching, he touches it trying to ease it.

Muppet: Your forehead always does that?

Vega: Only when I start getting serious.

Muppet: Do your friends have telltale signs like that?

Vega thinks for a second.

Vega: …

Muppet: ?

Vega: The two friends I told you about do. One of them starts baring his fangs like a wild beast.

As Vega says this Wrath appears above him grinning.

Vega: The other one’s eyes change into a star…

Draco appears above Vega with a smirking look as his eyes are in the form of stars. Draco then starts reaching his hand out.

Vega: We call it our “competitive side” coming out.

Muppet: … Hm.

Vega: Now that I told you something, you tell me why you were so shocked seeing my slash.

Muppet: *Ahem* Swordsmen fall under three categories. “Destructive Power”, “Refined Skills”, and “Aurora Armor.”

Vega: Aurora Armor?

Muppet: It’s when you put your Cosmos and Ability through your blade. Do you think you can just cut through anything and anyone? If their Cosmos is stronger than yours, it won’t faze them at all. Having stronger Aurora Armor, you can cut through anything.

Vega suddenly remembers himself not being able to completely cut through Zosma.

Vega: Hm.

Muppet: But for you, ordinary swordsmen can’t send out flying slashes. Only those who possess great physical strength are led to Destructive Power.

Vega: So that’s the one I fall under?

Muppet (quick laugh): Ha. No, you fall under all three. Your attack turning into fire is Aurora Armor, sending a flying slash is Destructive Power, and I already confirmed your Refined Skills, though, you can improve.

Vega looks at his sword.

Vega: All three, huh…

Muppet: The only person I know who falls under all three is Sirius.

Vega (heated): Sirius...!

Muppet: Oh, so you know him.

Vega: Every swordsman should know his name. He’s one of my targets.

Muppet: Wait, what?!

Vega gets intense and interested, he goes back to training his sword.

Muppet: You planning on taking out all the Sword Rulers too?!

Vega: … Yeah, I am.

Muppet (sweating): (This guy is crazy…!!)

**In The Mountains**

The sand disappears and Carina appears from it.

Carina: Ha~ Just a little more and I’m there.

**At Demon Cuisine**

(Location Carina Is Headed To.)

Vulpecula: Hmmm, where is she?

Vulpecula wears sunglasses and a tight black skinsuit having a gold lining, revealing her chest a bit. Having black high-heeled boots that come to her thighs. With her classic long lustrous silver ash-like hair.

Baidam (cold eyes): You know she’s always late.

Baidam is a slim, white skin, voluptuous woman. White-eyes, with long light blue hair. She’s wearing a white top, with white jean shorts. Having white-heeled stilettos. She has a tattoo on her right hand that is an “S” with three lines through it vertically. (An S with three lines through is Sols’ money symbol.) She’s sitting, holding her drink, tapping on the side.

Vulpecula: I know… I just wish she wasn’t a few times.

Rosa: *sigh* Can’t stop her from being late. *a somber expression covering her face*

Rosa is a forest green-skinned and purple/green-haired with leaves sprouting out woman, wearing an outfit made of leaves and petals. She has on a stag ceremonial headwear with fur and antlers reaching high. Dark green eyes, and dirt under her eyes ready for war. She has a large bowie knife on her hip. To everyone, she is so beautiful.

On the back of Baidam's seat, are her chains tied to it.

Carina walks right in front of a restaurant in Macchu Ma Picchu. Hidden in the mountains.

Walking in, Carina passes by demons of three colors. Red, blue, and green. Making it through the restaurant, she spots her three friends.

Carina: Ladies, sorry I’m late. Drinks are on me this time.

Baidam: Ugh...

Rosa: Yesss!

Sitting down, Carina can feel Baidam’s eyes staring at her. A blue demon runs up and gives her a fruity alcoholic drink, and takes off running.

Carina: I see you're still as cold as ever, Baidam.

Baidam (crossing her legs): Be on time and I wouldn’t act like this.

Carina (smiling): Did you find a man yet?

Vulpecula and Rosa chuckle, Baidam spits out her drink, embarrassed by the question.

Baidam: Wh-What are you talking about!?

Carina: I know you’ve been looking for one, so I’m asking.

Baidam is getting stressed, tightening up, and blushing.

Baidam: You can’t be so quick to ask questions like that!

Carina: You need to loosen up, Baidam. I’ve been with three men and three women just this week. I was just about to do something with a young man at the chess classic, but I forgot about our appointment.

Baidam: *Gasp* Six?! This week?! I can’t just do outrageous things like you!!

Carina just has a delightful smile.

Carina: Outrageous things like me? Bai, didn’t you rob three dudes blind? Make them pay you three million sols each just to take you on a date. Knowing it wouldn’t go anywhere.

Baidam (turning red): Tha-That That. I have a reason for that!

Carina leaned her face on her fist.

Carina (sensual voice): Oh, yeah. What was it?

Baidam: I-I had to make sure they were worthy!

Carina: *laughs* Ok, sure. I guess that’s what saving yourself for the right man is like. You know you just wanted the money, you’re so greedy.

Baidam is embarrassed, blushes, and drinks from her alcoholic drink quickly. Carina sipping.

Rosa (sorrowful): I’m jealous of your free spirit, Carina.

Carina holds her hand to her face cheerfully smiling. Baidam gets annoyed.

Baidam: Anyway, was the young man handsome at least?

Carina drinks from her drink, messing with the straw and smirking.

Carina: He was.

Vulpecula: I met someone charming in Leda too.

Vulpecula touched her face, blushing.

Carina: Did you really “meet” him?

Vulpecula: Of course I did!

Just thinking about Vega, has Vulpecula touching her breasts.

Vulpecula (dizzy, face turning red): (He had the same eyes as the former Empress…!!)

Carina: Wait, how was your date?

Vulpecula: Terrible. She was so weird. She kept pronouncing the silent k in words. Like knowledge and knight.

Carina: Fu Fu Fu, what?

Vulpecula slumps over.

Vulpecula: Yeah, I let her pay and ghosted her. Never online matching again.

They all laugh about it.

Carina: So, who made it here first?

Vulpecula: I did.

Baidam: I would’ve been here sooner, but I got held up by a certain someone.

Baidam pulls on her chains, pulling a strange man only in his underwear.

Baidam: Now apologize to these ladies for making me delayed.

Jake: ...Ah… Sorry.

Baidam: Shut up!

Her eyebrows and breath start turning cold, she takes her hand tugging on the chains around his neck, then the chains start freezing, and white ice dashes to Jake, completely freezing him solid!!

Baidam: Ah~

Baidam then tugs the chains some more!! She punches the ice block and it shatters!! His body is completely broken apart! Carina laughs!

Carina looks around for a demon, spotting one and seductively signaling one finger to make it come over to her. It runs over stopping right in front of her.

Carina (provocative): Would you like me to suck you dry?

The red demon starts sweating.

Asahi: Yea-Yeah Yeah!

Carina (smiles): Ok.

Carina takes her hand and places it on its belly. Then sand comes out of her hand, and starts draining him!! Absorbing all his liquids!! The red demon kills over, its body is completely withered.

Baidam and Carina both laugh.

Baidam: That was great!

Carina (sipping her drink): I agree. C’mon, Rosa and Vulpecula. Join in.

Rosa: *sipping* Later.

Vulpecula: Maybe next time. How’s everything with Dorado?

Carina: Thanks for reminding me, I have something to tell him when I get back. A certain boy took my interest.

Vulpecula: Oh, the one you mentioned earlier?

Carina: Yup. But, I won’t be going back to El Dorado for a few days. I have to check in on the Gold Light District.

Baidam: And how’s that going?

Carina: Same old, same old. Nothing new. Asselli is still drinking daily, drinking his, if he still has one liver away.

Baidam: That drunkard. Need me to stop him?

As she wraps her chains around her fingers. Thought of locking him up tightly with her chains.

Carina: Why? For the bar I own, he’s the best customer!! Fu Fu ❤. I don’t care if he drinks his life away.

Baidam: Oh, ok.

Carina: *wink* And, he was one of the six. ❤

Baidam (disgusted): Ew, gross!

Carina laughs it off.

Vulpecula: Are you any closer to finding the weapon that Dorado is hiding?

Carina: Nope. Not close at all. He’s keeping me right at bay, ...but I don’t think the weapon I’m looking for is here.

Baidam: You don’t?

Carina: Yeah, I don’t think the Pink Aphrodite is in this country.

Baidam: Hm.

Carina: Still looking for yours, Bai?

Baidam: Yep. But now that you say that, I doubt the White Hestia is here either.

Both of them become gloomy and start drinking alcohol.

Rosa: I’m nowhere close to finding the Green Artemis.

Rosa lays her head down, antlers stretching over the table joining in on the gloom.

Vulpecula (smiling): I’m sure you all will find them! Let’s toast to getting them!

Carina and Baidam (happy): Ok, cheers!!

Rosa: Blah...

After a few more rounds of endless mimosas, Carina decides it’s time to take off.

Carina: Welp, it’s time for me to return to the Gold Light District. Let’s meet up again soon, ladies. ❤ Wait, do you all want to go there with me? I have something nice planned.

Baidam and Rosa: Sure.

Vulpecula: Ah, I was planning on getting back home soon. Sorry, but I can’t make it.

Carina: That’s fine, we’ll meet again, Vulpecula.

They all get up from their seats. Leaving a generous tip, they walk out of the restaurant.

Boss Daku: Clean up the mess they left.

The little demons: Yes, sir!

Boss Daku: *sigh* (I would stop them from coming here, but they pay and tip great, plus I can’t beat them in a fight… Just take the money Daku. Just take the damn money...!!)

Walking out of Demon Cuisine. There are three creatures on the left. One is a sand beast, taking the form of a Queen Cobra.

Carina (happy): Oh! Risqué, this is where you’ve been!

Risqué looks at Carina with an erotic look and begins licking her face.

The other creature is a floating ice beast, taking the form of a Great White Shark.

Baidam: Seems these two were keeping Risqué company. Hello, Vesta.

Vesta chomps. And the last one is a plant beast, flowers growing out of it, taking the form of a Stag.

Rosa: Sorry for being so long, Orchid.

Carina: *hops on Risqué* Well, let’s go ladies.

She took off on her sand beast. Baidam followed behind, standing on her ice beast.

Baidam: See ya, Vulpecula.

Vulpecula: Yeah, see ya!

Rosa: Bye.

Vulpecula: Peace!

Baidam takes off flying through the air with Vesta. Rosa sits on her plant beast as it prances, hopping, and follows Carina.

Vulpecula thinks about where to go. Then she sees a tree on fire in the distance… She decides to investigate it. Making it to the tree, she sees the man she saw in Leda, Vega, still training his sword with Muppet beside him.

Vulpecula(turning red): *Huff* (He’s here too?!) *Huff*

Huffing and puffing, she hides to not be seen and starts rubbing herself, becoming intoxicated by his sight. A few minutes go by.

**In Kin PikaPika

The Temple of the Sun**

Carina is riding on Risqué, making it to the base of the temple, Risqué continues sliding as fast as possible. Sand is flying past a few citizens and they notice it's Carina. One is wearing a priest outfit (Scott).

Scott: That’s Carina!! Queen of the Gold Light District!!

Sam: Carina!! *heart eyes* I want to marry her!

Rachel: *heart eyes* Me too!!

She overhears everyone yelling and blows a kiss to Scott specifically. ❤ He gets infuriated!

Scott: Whore! Carina is the devil!!

All the other citizens are alarmed at what he said.

Scott: Listen up everyone!! Don't be overcome with lust!! It's the worst sin of them all!! You need an awakening from lust! Lust Awakening!

As the priest continues to rant, Carina overlooks it and continues to Cercatore d'oro. Baidam and Rosa follow, both overlooking the incident.

[A Few Hours Later]

Now being nighttime, Wrath finally makes it to Volta’s house. His house is huge, with crystal and gold colors, surrounded by robotic guard dogs that bark constantly. These dogs have green eyes and enhanced strength and sharper teeth. Regulus is constantly shaking in fear.

Wrath: C’mon, stop being scared!

Regulus: How do you just stop being scared??

Wrath: Yahaha. Just do it!

Regulus: …

Wrath: Ride on Zeus, I can fly over myself.

Regulus: O-Ok, bu-

Wrath conjures some electricity and throws it behind him, propelling himself into the sky, Regulus is dumbfounded.

Regulus: I wanted to know if I would get shocked…

Zeus looks at Regulus and licks his cheek. Regulus laughs and hops on Zeus, then Zeus takes off following Wrath. Jumping over all the guard dogs and arriving at Volta’s house with huge doors.

Wrath: Now we just need to get in. I can do something. *grins*

As Wrath produces some lightning on his hand, the doors suddenly open.

Wrath: Huh?

[The Doors Just Opened Up?!!!]
