Travel Multiversal Episode 1
Chapter 3
“The Battle for Slumber Gigas! Kevin and Ring VS Shiro
Gecko!!”
An
RP between RaijinSenshi and eshonen
Shiro: *smirks* Welcome to the greatest island on this planet: my kingdom, Slumber Gigas!
Ring:
...Kevin: .... *positions himself between Ring and Shiro* Greatest island unless you live on it, you mean...?
Shiro: Such harshness, and after such a nice welcome. I see that you're not another clueless tourist. Tell me, what do you hope to accomplish by coming here?
Kevin: Keeping your blood-stained hands off of this girl...who blindly went here despite the danger... >_>#
Shiro: Girl? I see no girl here; just a deserter who left her people to fend for themselves when they needed her most *chuckles smugly*
Ring:
*growls*Shiro: Don't even think about it, girlie, you saw what happened to you when you got here. I have power over every giant here. And as for everybody else, well, they know what'll happen if they try and get outside authorities involved.
Arthur: At least make sense with your taunting!
Samantha: Yeah, as a little kid, what was she going to do? Cry "Help us" to the people??
Amethyst: *sticks her tongue out*
Kevin: Kids, hush! ......Pretty amazing how full of themself people can get when they get their hands on something powerful, isn't it? Sad that I can't really find your words intimidating, knowing that the mouth can't properly support the weight of them....but I do know what will happen, yes.
Shiro: I can see how I may not look especially intimidating right now but I assure you that you don't want to see me when I get serious. But fortunately for you it won't have to come to that because this ends now.
*Shiro snaps his fingers and several powerful members of the Gecko Family file out through the palace doors and hundreds of officers surround the group from all sides.*
Shiro: Consider this an act of mercy; this way you don't have to die by my hands.
Kevin: .......*closes eyes and crosses arms* I wouldn't do that, if I were any of you officers....
Officer 1: Shut it, blondy! I'm not scared of...wait, that cat from earlier looks familiar now that I see him up close... O_O; That's Checkmark Ashuro! No wonder Bufo was downed by a single hit! What the heck is he doing here!?
*The very sight of Ashuro makes the officer's morale plummet.*
Ashuro: Wow...didn't think my reputation was THAT good~
Kevin: Better than mine, I hardly exist in this damned world. <_<;
Arthur: ._.; ......um...wrong time and place?
Kevin: I'll mope when I want to mope!
Officer 2: And now that I look at him isn't that blonde haired guy the one who fought against Pyro Darkesis, some of Crimson Mahiru's guys and keeps gaining new powers after every battle he's ever had?
Officer 3: Oh man, not him too; I don't get paid enough to take on jokers like these guys... -o-;
*The officers drop their weapons and back away in fear. Although he thought that at least one of those rumors was a bit exaggerated he was happy none-the-less that he had an effect by being there.*
Kevin: Well....thank you, unknown officer dude...? But it is more like I reveal more of what I'm capable off, to be perfectly honest. -3-
Shiro: Spineless cowards! There's only two of them and hundreds of you!
Officer 4: ...he's right! With all of us here we're sure to overpower them!
*The morale of the officers rises again as they pick up their weapons with renewed zeal. Rocko looks at Samantha and winks at her as his hand sparks with electricity; Samantha smiles as a devilish look creeps across her face. Rocko shoots a huge electrical beam in one direction while Samantha shoots a huge electrical beam in the opposite direction at the group of officers. Together they defeat over 100 of the hundreds of officers already there.*
Officer 5: OwO; Who are they!?! We don't even know them and they did this much to us with one attack each!? Screw this, I'm out of here!!
*The hundreds of officers drop their weapons and flee the area.*
Shiro:
... I'll deal with ALL of them later...Kevin: Oh, we'll see about that.... *takes a few steps closer as his eyes spark up and turn blue, signing that his Raijin-power was charged up* I'll give you one chance: Fork over the gem-a-majig you use to control the giants and leave, then we'll leave you alone.
Shiro: Sorry, don't have it on me. It's in the palace being guarded by some of my best men. I suppose if you managed to defeat my elites here and inside you could get the jewel. But know that I have things set up so that the jewel is constantly emitting its power throughout the island and only me and my elites can draw power from it. So, do you think you can take all of us on knowing that we all possess the power of the giants and succeed?
Ashuro: *looks up* ... *smiles* now I do.
*Directly above them was Ashuro's ship, the Sea Galaxy. A blue beam shoots down and many familiar faces start walking out it. They were some of the reinforcements Ashuro's cell clones had gathered up: Batou, Snoopy, Zero, Ruby, Sally, Gaura, Rocky, Claire, Fuu, Cinder and Estella.*
Batou: We're here, Ashuro.
Snoopy: We came as soon as we could.
Claire: There's no way we would miss a chance to help our little Ring~
Cinder: I can't wait to bust some heads!
Estella: Same as ever I see, captain. -w-
Ruby: Been a long time since I got to shake loose~
Fuu: I called Rex with the emergency line. He had to delay a meeting, but he is coming in as backup as well.
Ashuro: Oh, and Shiro, this is just the advance squad; there are more on the ship that are very strong as well.
Shiro: ...well, don't just stand there, you idiots, attack them!
*The many Gecko Family elites begin advancing on Ashuro's group and they in turn begin fighting back as an all out war broke out. The Gecko Family elite utilised various elemental E-nergies along with their Pridescale breed features and the ability to enlarge parts of or their entire body at will. Ashuro knew that if things kept going as they were that Shiro would definitely have the upper hand in time. He finds Arthur, Samantha and Amethyst amongst the chaos and leads them to the back entrance of the palace.*
Ashuro: I've got a special mission for the three of you.
Arthur: W-what kinda mission, sir?
Ashuro: We're going to give Kevin, Ring and the others the winning edge by destroying whatever it is that Shiro is using to amplify the Giant's Crystal's power. Without it, Ring and the other giants throughout the island will be at full strength and be able to fight back without restraint.
Samantha: Then spit out, what do we need to do here?
Ashuro: We're going to go inside the palace and locate the Giant's Crystal and when we find it we'll destroy it *notices that Amethyst is definitely feeling the effects from the Giant's Crystal* you'll be able to tell us how close we are to the crystal *picks Amethyst up and carries her piggyback style* Hold on tight, alright? I'll take care of any baddies we meet along the way.
Samantha: Hey look, she's actually useful for something... <w<
Amethyst: Meeeaaanieeee..... =~=;
*Ashuro and the three kids begin their mission inside of the royal palace. Meanwhile back on the battlefield, the battle between Kevin's forces and the Gecko Family was progressing nicely. The Gecko elite were seeing that their opponents were no slouches in battle and found themselves relying mostly on the Giant's Crystal's ability to give them the power of the giants than using their own natural abilities and fighting experience.*
Claire: You know, Fuu... *makes two of the Gecko elites fight each other through her scent combat technique* ...these guys aren't as tough as they're letting on.
Fuu: You can say that again. *knocks a ball of wind in the face of one of them* We're getting a harder workout in bed. This is pathetic.
Ruby: *drops kicks another elite in the back of his neck* Phew. You guys must be really going at it, huh?
Fuu: Not really your business, blondie. *performs a lariat and a pinning hold on another elite*
Rocky: *absorbs minerals from the ground to strengthen his arms and then powerfully punches some elites in Gaura's direction for her to finish them off* this is what happens when you rely on a powerful relic for too long.
Gaura: *elegantly swiping down enemies with her halberd* Tsk.....weak....
Sally: Ei! Oh! O.O; *stumbles and falls onto an officer, sitting on his face* Aye...I'm a bit rusty myself.... =~=;
Zero: *helps Sally up* you'll find your rhythm if you keep at it and I'll be right here by your side every step of the way *kicks the elite that Sally fell on over to Cinder*
Cinder: *uses her ball and chain to take out the elite coming her way with one hit* YEAH!! WHO'S NEXT!?
Estella: *stands on the Sea Galactic as it hovers high up in the sky and snipes various Gecko elites with her E-nergy rifle* Heh...
???: Mind if I drop in?
*Rex stood beside Estella, looking down towards the battle field.*
Rex: Hmm...seems like Trent needs to be a bit faster when she brings me to places....
Estella: It seems as though the enemy was insufficiently prepared to handle an attack from non-giant attackers. Either that or the leader here has another plan ready to go.
Rex: Tsk, either way, I'm not sitting round doing nothing...
*Rex jumps down and proceeds to use his fist to create a partially large crater in the ground upon impact with it, knocking a good chunk of people over, allies included*
Kevin: Ey! Do you always need to be so destructive?
Rex: Do you always need to comment it...?
Shiro: ...at least NOW I know who has been training and who hasn't...which is EVERYBODY! Looks like I'll have to handle this myself *leaves the palace entrance to approach Kevin and the others*
Kevin: !! As Beetlejuice would say: It's Showtime...! *initiates "Raijin Kaizer" form and starts to approach Shiro*
Shiro: *transforms his arms into impressive dragon arms as he dashes towards Kevin*
Kevin: Byakurai no Tekken!! *shrouds his arms in white lightning and makes a dash towards Shiro in response*
*Shiro's dragon arms light up with Fire E-nergy as he and Kevin both attack simultaneously. When both of their fists collide there is an explosion of energy. Meanwhile back inside the palace, Ashuro and the kids continue to navigate through the maze-like interior trying to find their way to the well protected Giant's Crystal. As they got closer to the crystal Amethyst started to feel weaker and more light-headed and dizzy.*
Ashuro: How are you holding up, kiddo?
Amethyst: Uuuuuuuuuu...... =~=
Samantha: Sick. .3.
Ashuro: Try to hold on just a little longer, okay?
*As they turn a corner, they see a big group of Gecko Family elites standing in front of the entrance to a chamber.*
Ashuro: Looks like we're here *sets Amethyst down* excuse me while I clear the way
*Ashuro charges the Gecko Family elites and quickly defeats them all with a flurry of rapid, stretching punches. He then returns to the waiting kids.*
Ashuro: Were those truly his best men? *picks Amethyst up and carries her piggyback style again* Let's go guys!
*Ashuro and the kids enter the room that was being guarded and see machines everywhere with an even bigger machine housing the Giant's Crystal.*
Ashuro: This is it, this is definitely the place *places Amethyst down and pats her head* thanks for your help, sweetie ^w^ as for you two... *pulls two mallets out of the stone in his left hand and hands one each to Arthur and Samantha* get to smashing stuff!
Samantha: Yay! Daddy never lets me smash stuff!
Arthur: Because last time you broke my arm... >~>;
*Ashuro, Arthur and Samantha got busy smashing up everything within that room. Meanwhile back on the battlefield, Kevin and the others were finding out that Shiro Gecko was nothing at all like his many so-called elites. He was fighting both Kevin and Rex simultaneously and was having no trouble at all keeping up with them; also unlike his elites he only used the power of the Giant's Crystal for defensive techniques and relied on his own combat skill and experience. And from what Kevin and Rex could tell he hadn't shown them everything that he could do just yet.*
Shiro: *expertly attacking, dodging and countering all of Kevin's and Rex's attacks*
Kevin: One. Of. These. Will. Hit. You!!!
Rex: Keep your cool, Norway...!
Shiro: *inhales deep then exhales a powerfully intense heat stream of fire on the surrounding area*
Kevin: Guh! >_<; *backs off*
Rex: *stands firm* ........
Shiro: *smirks then switches from shooting fire to molten magma balls*
Rex: !? *starts to attempt deflecting the balls, trying to block them from reaching the others.*
Shiro:
*Two dragonic wing plates erupt from Shiro's back as they shoot several magma balls high into the sky that explode like a Draco Meteor and fall back towards the battlefield. Everybody is forced to scatter about to avoid being hit by the magma. Shiro continues shooting magma balls into the sky that turn into molten meteors. Snoopy tried to use his Pensword to create shields for everybody but was having trouble keeping track of where everybody was due to how chaotic the battlefield was. Kevin and Rex needed to come up with a plan quick before the battlefield became a lava pit.*
Kevin: Okay genius, how do we fight this!?
Rex: Simple: Get him into a confined space so he can't use large scale attacks like this!
Kevin: So, plunge him into the building?
Rex: Plunge him into the building.
*The two of them clenches their fists and let's their powers coat them both. The Raijin powers' white lightning and the Dinosaur aura's destructive force. But instead of charging straight at Shiro, the two of them utilize a combo attack by having Kevin sending Rex flying forward with as much force behind him as possible, and eventually sending either Rex or Shiro crashing into the walls behind them.*
Shiro: Ugh!
*Shiro makes his dragonic arms gigantic then he grabs Rex and begins forcefully squeezing the life out of him. After a few seconds his arms suddenly go back to regular size.*
Shiro: What? *releases Rex from his grip* I don't feel the power from the Giant's Crystal anymore...but that means...NO! *sprints off up a staircase*
*Meanwhile back with Ashuro and the kids all of the machinery has been smashed up and Ashuro is retrieving the Giant's Crystal from the machine it was housed in.*
Ashuro: *pulls parts of the machine apart then pulls out the Giant's Crystal* got it! *turns to Arthur and Samantha only to see that Samantha is still smashing stuff with the mallet while Arthur looks at her* ...um, you can stop now; there aren't any functioning machines left...
Samantha: Still funny!
Arthur: .......See what I have to deal with...?
Amethyst: ...nyeeeeeeh....
Ashuro: Yeah...I think it would be best if I shattered this thing to pieces.
*Just as Ashuro is about to shatter the Giant's Crystal, Shiro busts into the room and swipes the crystal from his hands.*
Ashuro: Whoa! What the...!!
Shiro: ... *looks at the Giant's Crystal* ...I didn't think it would happen...you all have totally pissed me off! I was going to slowly torture you all once this was all over but...BUT NOW I'M JUST GOiNG TO OUTRiGHT KiLL YOU ALL!! And why stop there? I'll ravage this entire island until nothing is left but a molten wasteland! Today Slumber Gigas will become just another Punk Hazard! *takes the Giant' Crystal and literally eats it whole*
Ashuro: !!
Shiro: RWAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!
*Shiro's roar echoes throughout the entire island as the sky darkens and the weather gets stormy. Everybody could feel a new rising power coming from within the palace. Shiro exits the palace brimming with a powerful aura cackling wildly. When some of his elite plead for him to help them in the battle he responds by simply shooting a wave of magma at them.*
Snoopy: Whoa, harsh...
Batou: ...
Fuu: I'm starting to think coming here might've been a bad idea......
Kevin: *crackling with electricity* ......This guy needs to be put down now, and fast.
*Shiro wastes no time in bringing out his full power by transforming into the true beast that he was: a rare but extremely powerful Dire Miralis Pridescale. What was left of his elites fled the battlefield having no desire left to fight. Shiro scans the battlefield for his next target and sets his sights on Ring.*
Shiro: And with this, the remains of the Diamond Royal Family will finally disappear.
Ring: *stands frozen in fright and terror*
*Unknown to Shiro, Rex had already prepared one of his strongest attacks and was quickly closing the distance between them.*
Rex: Time for us to bring out the showstopper...... Terra!!
*Rex's body emits a purple light as a Tyrannosaurus Rex made out of energy emerges from his body and rams into Shiro as Rex starts to deliver a barrage of kicks and punches to him, which actually manages to push him back. The combo attack ends when Rex lands on the energy T-Rex's tail, positioned to Shiro's chest with his arms thrusted forward. Those who knew of it, would say he was in position to use a "Final Flash" on him.*
Rex: "Tyrant's Blaze: Meteor Impact!!" *Rex flashes crimson red for a moment before he unleashed a red energy beam right into Shiro's chest, which actually sent the Dire Miralis airborne briefly before the attack blew up in his face. Rex lowers himself to the ground as the dust kicks up.* I'll notify the company of your sudden termination of contract....
*When the dust clears, instead of a downed dragon, there was a Dire Miralis with a big wound on his chest. Shiro lets out a thunderous roar that shakes the ground before he starts growing. As a Dire Miralis Shiro was already giant but now he was double that size! He turns his attention to Rex and then slams him with his gigantic tail, knocking him out. Shiro then returns his attention to Ring who finally snaps out of her state of terror and tries to run away. Taking only a few steps forward he catches up with her and raises his right arm to try and stomp her. His attack misses when he is hit with a gigantic stretching punch delivered by Ashuro. Ashuro delivers a volley of gigantic stretching punches to Shiro in an attempt to wear him down but another swipe from his gigantic tail knocks him out as well. Turning his attention back to Ring he delivers a claw strike to her that gets blocked by Kevin but the force of the attack severely injures him and sends him into the ground, creating a small crater upon impact.*
Ring: KEViN! *runs over to Kevin and wraps her arms around him* I...I...I'm sorry, Kevin; this is all my fault. I never should have come here by myself and had you all come out to get me. Everybody on this island is in danger now all because I didn't know how to handle my feelings for revenge. I should have come to you first when I learned about my past and we could have done something different, together, like it should have been. Please don't die on me, there are so many years we still need to have together. I need you...I love you...
*Ring embraces Kevin and kisses him tenderly as Shiro positions his foot over both of them, preparing to end them both in one stomp. Just as Shiro's foot comes down Ring begins to glow brightly as a new kind of energy flows from her and into Kevin. Bathed in this new energy, Kevin quickly gets up and catches Shiro's foot as it comes down, stopping it completely. No matter how hard Shiro pushed down, Kevin didn't budge or buckle from the immense pressure. That's when something amazing happened: an Aquitican antenna appeared on Kevin's head as he began to grow to giant size and toppled Shiro. The phenomenon was quite common in Aquiticans and was one of the main ways that their species spread; it was called the Aquitican Bond, a technique where an Aquitican passes on their species DNA to another person, usually somebody they care greatly about. Ring then grew to giant size along with Kevin.*
Ring: OoO ... did...did I do this?
Kevin: ....Yeah, it seems that way, Ring. I don't know how, but you did..... However, this is not enough to ensure our victory here, as this giant scaled beast can take more hits.... *he gently grasps Ring's hand and looks her in the eyes* Just this one time....I ask you to borrow me your strength, so I can help get rid of this menace before he can spread more harm.
Ring: Right!
Kevin: Give me one clear shot at his chest. That is all I need.
*Ring nods then puts her arms out to the sides as ribbons come out of her sleeves. She tries to use her ribbons to restrain and flip Shiro over but he unleashes some magma from his body to burn the ribbons. Next Ring prepares her beam cannons by aiming at and shooting Shiro's front legs which causes him to rear up and expose his chest.*
Ring: NOW!
Kevin: "Byakurai: Discharge Lance!" *Kevin fires his signature white lightning right through the center of Shiro's chest and then discharges a couple lightning strikes through the insides of his body. If the initial stab didn't stop him, this electric attack would at least stop his nerves from functioning.*
*Shiro roars an agonizingly painful roar as the magma in his body starts to circulate and overheat his body. Kevin, Ring and Shiro then begin to shrink back down to their original size and Shiro transforms back into his human form. Shiro writhes in agony on the ground as Kevin and Ring surround him.*
Shiro: *struggles then sees Ring* accursed giant; you think that you've beaten me? Like a lizard's tail the Gecko Family will grow and rise again! I won't be beaten here; once I heal up I'm coming after all of you! You will not know peace, you will experience pain like never before, I will make you wish for death with every fiber of your being! I... *feels a powerful presence walking towards him* so, the prodigal son returns, huh?
*Kevin and Ring look to the side and see none other than Spike Gecko walking towards them with Grin and Artisha by his side.*
Spike: ...
Shiro: Never thought that you'd show your face in front of me again. Don't think that you'll have the same privileges you once had but we can work something out once you do away with these threats to the Gecko Family. Go on, son; time to make daddy proud.
*Kevin and Ring watch to see what Spike will do but both get into battle ready position just in case.*
Kevin: *stares at Spike for a moment, remembering Grin and Artisha's words from earlier* .............Spike....do you want us to move out of the way....?
Spike: ...you can do what you want *walks right up Shiro* I'm here for one reason...to end the Gecko Family's curse...
*Spike charges his right fist with E-nergy then jabs Shiro in his chest and through his heart.*
Shiro: *gasping for breath* y-you miserable traitor...
Spike: You knew that this was coming; after all, you did the exact same thing to grandpa. But know that I'm not doing this to you in order to take your position and power; it is to put an end to the teachings of the Gecko Family and the cycle of madness that originates from it. I'm going to disband the Gecko Family until I'm sure that the poison of it's teaching are out of my system; the last thing I want to do is be responsible for another generation of Gecko's like you and me being brought into this world.
Shiro:
*reaches for Spike and weakly grasps his shirt* ... *vision dims as he closes his eyes, releases his grip and takes his last breath*Spike: ...goodbye dad...
Grin and Artisha: -_- ... *pats Spike on the back*
Kevin: ...... *walks over and pats his shoulder* You've taken the first step. Now, follow your own way.
Spike: Thank you. You take care of that Ring; I couldn't give her what she needed but I see that you can and have. Don't ever let her go.
Kevin: Of course I won't. Well...guess it's time to search the place for possible prisoners and such, right?
Spike: Yes. I have a lot of cleaning up to do: rounding up the remaining Gecko Family members, removing the restraint collars from all the island's giants. There's a lot to be done. But there is one good thing about all of this. Knowing my father he definitely kept the former king of this island alive; once he has his strength back I'm sure he'll be able to return to ruling this place.
Ring: *gasps* you mean...?
Spike: That's right; you have one remaining living family member here: your grandfather.
Kevin: .... *smiles a bit* Care to show us where he might be held?
Spike: Of course.
*Spike leads Ring and Kevin down to the palace dungeons. In one of the cells stood a tall, muscular Aquitican Norwegian Forest Cat Nekofi that was restrained by his arms and legs by chain shackles. He had scars on his chest and short brown hair with a sea green streak.*
Spike: Owain Diamond, it's been a while.
Owain: ...you...has your father finally come for my life now?
Spike: Nope, he's dead now. As the now acting Boss of the Gecko Family I'm relinquishing control of Slumber Gigas back to its rightful king, you.
Owain: ...what sort of trickery is this?
Spike: No tricks *unlocks the cell door and walks inside and unlocks Owain's shackles* you are a free man once again; as soon as I can round up what remains of the Gecko Family and tie up some other loose ends we'll leave this island and never return to it.
Owain: ... *grabs Spike by his neck* you honestly expect me to believe that after everything the Gecko Family has done to me and my people!? My family is gone; killed right before my very eyes! What good reason can you possibly give to stop me from snapping your neck this very instant?
Kevin: I have a very simple reason as to why, your majesty. *moves aside and let's Ring inside* your granddaughter wouldn't want you to kill one of our allies, even if he has done wrong in the past. Shiro Gecko is dead, Spike has no intention of doing anything ill minded. So please....let your feelings speak from the gentle and positive spectrum of emotions, instead of the negative ones.
Owain: *sees Ring and releases his grip on Spike* OoO Ring...it really is you... *walks over to Ring and lightly touches her face*
Ring: *looks deep into Owain's eyes* I...I remember you, grandpa.
Owain: *hugs Ring as tears flow from his eyes* I've missed you so much, dear; I always prayed that you were somewhere safe. TwT
Kevin: She had a rough way, but she's safe, I promise. *kneels down* you're a princess Ring....shall I start addressing you as such?
Ring: .///. Y-You don't have to do that...
Owain: And who is this young man, Ring?
Ring: Oh, grandpa, meet Kevin Aasheim; he's my fiancé. ^///^
Owain: Oh really now? *inspects Kevin* Hahaha, this one has great potential.
Kevin: Oh, t-thanks, I guess? Great potential, sir...?
Owain: Yes, you have a nice feel to you; like you would make a great...oops...I'm getting ahead of myself. There is much that needs to be done right now; I need to let the people know what has happened and reassure them that everything is going to okay from now on. And we're definitely going to have a celebration in honor of you and your companions.
Kevin: Oh, that isn't needed sir. We're just glad to help......buuuut I want to request a private room. *he stands up and his expression turns a bit more serious and grumpy* You see, I'm still a bit miffed someone decided to take off like she did, and put herself and others in danger, even if everything went well in the end...
Ring: O_O; *heart sinks*
Owain: ...Oh, I see. There are several bedrooms on the third floor, including Ring's old bedroom; feel free to use any of them. Please excuse me...Spike?
Spike: Ready, your highness?
Owain: Yes, let's go *leaves the dungeon with Spike*
Kevin: As for you, Ring. You come with me. *takes hold of her hand and starts making his way to the third floor with her*
Ring: *feels a bit of fear in the pit of her stomach but obediently follows Kevin*
*The two of them make it to a door with Ring's name spelled out on it and enters. The room was pretty big...a bit dusty after all the years, but it was still a nice and colorful room, complete with a huge bed, you usually see princesses and royalty sleep on in the stories.*
Kevin: ...hmm...too bad I can't offer you the same amount of luxury, huh? *closes the door behind them and leads her onto the bed*
Ring: *remains quiet and obediently follows*
Kevin: .... *sighs and pulls her into a hug, petting her back and stroking all the way down to the base of her tail* What you did today really scared me, Ring. When I learned where you were heading, I was afraid that when I found you again, it would've been too late. There's a difference between being brave and being reckless. *he pulls a bit away and looks her in the eyes, showing he was getting teary eyed.* don't ever do something like this again...I'm not sure if I can handle that stress...
Ring:
I'm sorry, Kevin; it was a foolish thing to do and I'm sorry I made you worry about me... T_TKevin: It's okay Ring, it's okay. But this time, I need to make sure the lesson sticks, because I really don't want this to happen again.... *he fiddles with Ring's belt and takes it off of her and sets it aside* ...Take off the skirt, please.
Ring: T_T *timidly unbuttons her skirt and lets it fall to the floor, revealing a pair of cutesy light blue panties with pink frills* .///.
Kevin: *blushes a bit and lets her snuggle up against him as he started to gently pat her butt* ...Okay kitty... 30 slaps, then it's over...
Ring: O-Okay... -///-;
Kevin: .....Starting now.
*Kevin reared his hand back and slapped Ring's buttocks fairly hard, causing the nekomimi's bottom to bounce a bit, even. And each slap that followed was just as strong and precise. He got to 15 before slowing down.*
Ring: *whimpers a bit with tears in her eyes*
Kevin: Now Ring, tell me exactly why you're being punished. *he spanked her a few more times, but a bit more gently so she could actually speak without squeaking too loud.*
Ring: F-For leaving home without telling you and going someplace dangerous by myself?
Kevin: Exactly. And for scaring me by doing so. *hooks his fingers onto her panties and peels them down just enough for her bottom to stick out in the open*
Ring: *squeaks cutely with embarrassment* >///<
Kevin: *laughs a bit* Anybody ever told you that you sound like Hinata Hyuga? That little reaction there makes it more obvious~ *softly pats her exposed butt*
Ring: *pouts a bit* >//3//<
Kevin: *smiles a bit and starts to slap her butt again, and almost stopping right away.* 5 more. Count them down, Ring.
Ring: Okay... ;~;
Kevin: *nods and proceeds to slap her bared bottom 4 more times. Each slap slower than the last, and teasing Ring with when they were going to come, all while he held her close and snuggled with her a little bit between her whimpering.*
Ring: F-Four... Q~Q
Kevin: ....... And we'll skip the last one. *smiles and pulls her into a kiss while gently rubbing her reddened bottom* All is forgiven, sweetie.
Ring: *wiggles her bottom in response to Kevin's rubbing*
Kevin:
*slips her undies back up into place* I love you, Ring. 
Ring: *wipes a tear from her eye* I love you, too.
Kevin:
Come now, we've got to ask the kids a few questions. Like, how they seem to know you, and who their parents are. *picks up the skirt and teasingly keeps it away from Ring* Hey, I think you should walk around like that~ 
Ring: O//~//O; *quickly gets her skirt back from Kevin and puts it on while blushing madly*
*When Kevin pull open the door to exit Ring's room both Samantha and Amethyst fall forward into the room. Apparently the two of them slipped away from Arthur and went off on their own to explore the palace. They heard the commotion coming from Ring's room and their curiosity got the better of them as they decided to listen in on Ring's punishment.*
Samantha: I told you not to push so hard.... >~o;
Amethyst: Nyah, I wanted to hear more squeals and lovey-dovey talk....
Kevin: -.- .....Well, at least we don't need to find you two anymore.
Both: ....Hey. ouo;
Ashuro: *walks up to Samantha and Amethyst* found them, Arthur; they're over here!
Arthur: *walks into view again* Damn it, why do you always run off...?
Samantha: Because it's fun to spy on these two.... ou<;
Ashuro: I see that you're feeling a lot better now, little giant *helps Amethyst and Samantha up*
Amethyst: Y-yeah......
Kevin: Okay, now I need to start asking the questions: Who are you kids, and why do you seem to know me and Ring so much?
Arthur: ...Oh, I told you I would say it, didn't I...? ._.;
Samantha: .......Are you sure you want to know...?
Kevin: Yes. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Ring: I-I too would like to know more a-about you three...
Arthur: ....we.....are really from the future. We came back to help you avert this little crisis.
Samantha: As hard as it might be to believe, it is. You two....w-we....didn't want to lose you...as, that might've messed the timeline a bit too, but....
Amethyst: We just wanted to help you, mommy, daddy! QnQ
*Kevin's eyes widen as all color disappear from his face. He was pale, speechless, shocked, and anything between as he stared at the three.*
Ring: Y-You mean that Kevin and I have a little family of our own? ;w;
Arthur: Y-yes...just, look at the evidence in front of you....
Kevin: *still a bit speechless, but starting to shed tears* ....And...there's even three of them...
Samantha: You didn't want to stop at one, as our neighbors say... *snuggles up against Kevin, with Arthur joining in*
Amethyst: *walks over and reaches up to Ring* Mommy... QnQ
Ring: TwT M-My little darlings~
*stoops down to pick Amethyst up in her arms and snuggle her*Kevin: *pets Samantha and Arthur* ....... I......I'm sorry if I've been a bad parent to you at some point. I mean, I'm not the most ideal-
Samantha: Shut up. You were right....you didn't have a lot of confidence until I was born into the world..... -3-
Kevin: ....... *smiles weakly and snuggles Samantha and Arthur closer* .....thanks for coming here....
*Arthur goes on to explain the second reason why they came back in time: Benjamin Koco. He talks of how Benjamin Koco came into power after an encounter with Rex Tyrant and his conquest throughout the universe began. In the future, Benjamin Koco would've eventually come to Slumber Gigas and taken control of the island, the Giant's Crystal and even the Gecko Family after battling and killing Shiro Gecko himself. By coming to this time to help Kevin and Ring defeat Shiro Gecko and destroy the Giant's Crystal they had hoped to take away a portion of power that Benjamin gains in the future. They also mention that they didn't travel to the past alone and that many of their friends also came with them to this time period but they seemed to be arriving on different days within this time period. Benjamin Koco would make his move within the current year to the next year and they were going to need everybody's help to take him down before he got too powerful. But until that time came they also let Kevin know that they would be staying with him until then and until the next time gate back to their original time period opened up again.*
Kevin: ....that is a lot to take in....but...I guess we can at least find some space for you kids to stay with us until further notice.
Ashuro: I can have a quality job addition put on your place within the week if you'd like. ^w^
Kevin: ....Yeah, something more...fitting for the family of a princess, perhaps?
*smiles at Ring*Samantha: Well, princess until she can step up to the role as queen.
Kevin: ....Didn't really think of that.
Ashuro: To think that all this time that you were a princess, Ring; how does it feel?
Ring: I still d-don't think that it has f-fully sunk in just yet...
Ashuro: Yeah, I know what you mean. When I finally got to meet my parents again and they told me their story I learned that I was actually a prince; it still feels unreal to me when I think about it.
Kevin: *pets Ring and smiles* You're still my adorable wife-to-be, though. Nothing changes that.
Ring: *giggles* ^///^
Kevin:
Well Ring, you decide what we do next. If you want to stay with your grandpa, we understand that. You two might have a lot to talk about.Ring: I wouldn't mind coming here to visit him whenever I could...but you're where my home is, Kevin.
Kevin: That's sweet of you. Thank you, Ring...
*And with that Shiro Gecko's decade of tyranny over Slumber Gigas ended. Spike Gecko gathered all of the island's giants together and freed them from the restraint collars that they were forced to wear. He then rounded up all of the Gecko Family, which included all of the officers and elites, and left the island with them, disbanding the Gecko Family later until further notice. Within days life on Slumber Gigas returns to the way it was before Shiro Gecko took over: an abundant and peaceful island paradise. Kevin, Ring, Ashuro and the others are later invited back to the island for a celebration in their honor for returning peace back to the island. Everybody has a lot of fun as the celebration goes into the night. As Kevin sits with Ring and watches his three kids have fun with the others, Owain approaches and sits next to them.*
Owain: So how is everything? ^^
Kevin: Oh, everything is well, thanks for asking. We've been taking it a bit easy since that ordeal. Spent some time with the kids and...one another, obviously. *blushes a bit and nuzzles against Ring's cheek*
Owain: Hahaha~ at one time I never thought that I would have grandchildren, and now... *looks at Arthur and Amethyst playing with Ashuro and Claire and Samantha climbing all over an annoyed Rex* ...now I have great grandchildren ^w^
Kevin: Well, they still need to be born in this timeline, but I see what you mean.
Rex: -___-# .........
Ring: S-Samantha, sweetie, please don't do that; if you want to p-play go and join your brother and sister with Ashuro and Claire.
Samantha: Nuuuuuh.... -u-
Rex: ....... *sighs*
Ring: Oh dear, excuse me, please *gets up to go deal with Samantha*
Owain: Hahahaha-ha...say Kevin, what do you think of this place?
Kevin: The island in general or this place? Hehe, both are great, honestly. Your home is a bit bigger than what I am used to, but from what I've seen it is a comfy place.
The island itself has really many nice people, and that is good.Owain: That's great. You see, when I lost my family I feared that there would be nobody left to take care of and love this place the same way I did. But now that I know that Ring is safe now, that fear has been eliminated. When the time comes I would like to leave this kingdom in her capable hands...but I don't want her to do it alone. How about it? When the time is right would you like to be the next King of Slumber Gigas?
*Kevin is taken aback by Owain's offer; him...a king?*
Owain: You don't have to answer right now; take some time and think about it. I don't plan on retiring for a very long time, especially now that I've got a lot of time to make up for. Talk it over with Ring when you think the time is right and just know that even if you don't want to rule that I'll support you two and your family in any way that I can.
Kevin: .....I....I shall think about it sir, and thanks for such an offer. I really...don't know how to respond....... *looks to Ring, who was now joined by the kids after she had pried Samantha off of Rex* ......While taking that position would help my own problems financially and objectively....what decision I make will ultimately be for what is the best, not for me, but for my family...and the people around us. Heh, I feel a bit like Kyros from Dressrosa right now~
Owain: Well said, young Aasheim. When Shiro came into power he disabled and destroyed all of the teleporters here to limit how others got here. Within the next few days we'll be repairing and replacing them all so that you and everybody else can get here quicker and easier. So when that happens, feel free to come back and visit with us whenever you'd like. ^w^
Kevin: You bet we'll come and visit as often we can, old man. Try to not over-work yourself, please.
*lightly hits Owain's shoulder*Owain: Hahahaha! I can tell that we're going to get along just fine.
*As the celebration party draws to a close everybody goes home for the night. That night, as with the previous one, Kevin, Ring and their children all slept together in the same bed once again as the new addition that Ashuro was adding still two more days away from being completed. Looking at Ring fast asleep by his side, Arthur sleeping between them, Amethyst sleeping on Ring's puffy tail and Samantha sleeping in an odd position at his feet he couldn't help but feel happy and accomplished; that he had something to live for and see to all the way to the end. But he knew that in order to keep all of this he would have to deal with Benjamin Koco when the time came...and for a reward like this, it was a battle he had no intention of losing.*
Kevin: .......When that day comes, and I'll have to face the guy, I'm not going to be the one falling...I promise all of you that...
*He yawned, finally letting his exhaustion get to him as he fell asleep and rested together with his future family. And as it turned out, no one had a single nightmare that night.*
...
to get it to do what you want just will it to where you want to go.
The name's Ashuro Kamaké and this girl and the two you have in handcuffs are with me. So if you could see your way to letting them go we can put all this ugliness behind us.
You're a new face...
*opens a twilight portal and out of it comes a hand mirror* more like... *holds the map in front of the mirror* mirrored! If this means what I think it means...why didn't I think of this before now? It makes so much sense! Yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes-yes! 
*spins around excitedly* ...
... Ahem, you understand right? 
*holds up a mirror*
still here...at least I think that this is the jewel...
....I did it.... *slumps back on his rear* Ooooooh maaaaan...that was more than I bargained for....
