Admiral Chrono Harlaown blinked a few times as he stared at the image in front of him. If his eyes were working correctly, the image on the other side was showing him that a blue-haired version of his sister was carrying around a beaten up Yuuno Scrya on his ship.
'I didn't take a sip this morning, did I?' Just to be sure, he opened his desk drawer where he stashed away a bottle of MC 0055 vintage wine and took a glance. Nope, he hadn't opened it today so that means he wasn't seeing a drunken hallucination. At least nobody else was seeing this as this call was being made from his personal quarters on board the Claudia. If this development got out, the entire TSAB would probably know about this thanks to the efforts of the rumour mill, which worked extremely fast when armed with a particularly juicy piece of news. Even faster than Fate's True Sonic Form.
Okay, game face is on. Time to get some information. "How did you get a hold of this restricted channel?! Identify yourself!"
"I don't talk to super villains!!"
There was something seriously wrong with this woman. But he had to be careful when addressing her since she has Yuuno at her mercy. "I'm not a super villain!"
"Yes, you are! You got those evil spikes on your shoulders! You don't deserve the name Dave! I'll call you Evil Kyon from now on!"
Chrono felt his right eye start twitching upon hearing these childish insults. Seriously, why can't people accept that he digs those spikes on his Barrier Jacket? "Don't call me that. I'm Admiral Chrono Harlaown of the Time Space Administration Bureau. To whom am I speaking with?"
"I don't give my name to bad guys, Evil Kyon!"
Before he could try to say something else, he saw the door behind the Fate lookalike slide open to reveal... 'Hayate?!'
"Material-S is resting now. There should be enough room on the bed for the peon as well. Put him away, Material-L." The newcomer then noticed the open channel. "Just who are you talking to?"
"Some evil admiral," replied the Fate lookalike before she waved cheerfully at the screen with a free hand. "Baibai!"
'Now I has someone else to factor in... this Hayate lookalike.' Perhaps he could get negotiate with her for Yuuno's safety. As she took a seat, Chrono noted her posture which could very well give him a clue as to what he was dealing with.
Let's see here... crossed legs and her right cheek leaning on her palm as the right elbow laid on the armrest. She just draped herself on the chair so casually, not even caring if he was an Admiral as the other woman mentioned earlier before she left with Yuuno.
"And you are...?"
"The Lord of Darkness. The future ruler of this realm, Material-D. You are free to address me as 'Your Majesty'." She put on a thoughtful look which somewhat looked cute on her. "I wonder how much of the cosmos I should take under my rule. There will likely be worlds not worth my attention and grace."
Now he has to deal with someone with wild insane ambitions to rule the universe? He could feel the migraine forming. But first... "What are your intentions with Mr. Scrya?"
She paused in her ponderings and turned to address the Admiral with a cold look in her emerald eyes. "Scrya? Ah... that peon that Material-L is putting away. He will be servicing me from this moment forward until the day he dies. That is all."
"HEY! Don't hog Yuu-nii to yourself!!" shouted the Fate lookalike as it reappeared from behind. "I want to play with him too!"
'Material-D... Was she the one that hurt him so badly? And the other one wants to do the same? Dammit, you really know how to get into hot water, ferret boy...' He took a small breath to focus before speaking again. "What is it that you want for his release and safe return?"
"Hmmm... funny you should mention that. I have a small list of things that I eventually want for my Kingdom," said Material-D as she summoned a rather lengthy piece of paper that just unrolled itself all over on the other end.
"Nice going, Evil Kyon. Now she's going to ramble on and on and..." A beat before Material-L turned to the other woman. "You still got my chicken farm on there?"
Material-D rolled her eyes. "Yes, you still have your chicken farm..."
Chrono just twitched again. '...... what the hell is with these women?'
