Morning 2: CH 1 Part 5 The Departure Matrix

MORNING 2: CHAPTER 1, PART FIVE: THE DEPARTURE MATRIX The digital tracking digits on the mansion's main command interface shifted smoothly to 6:11 AM. Reaper 800 unsealed his high-tech garage matrix, revealing a sleek, premium luxury vehicle gleaming under the morning sky light. Moon Queen Vesperine walked down the driveway path, her glamorous black, purple, and red long summer dress split skirt fluttering elegantly to reveal her bare leg, while her favorite dark red platform slide sandals clacked against the tarmac. Sitting comfortably right on her shoulder was Owlbert, his large eyes wide awake and tracking the open horizon. Vantablack hopped into the passenger seat layout, his compact 2-foot egg-shaped capsule chassis bouncing happily as his white skull-mouth half-mask caught the sunlight and his tiny crimson-red rabbit puff tail XML wagged in pure mechanical excitement. Reaper 800 took the steering wheel, his handsome unmasked face visible as he slammed the accelerator down, driving his family away at high-velocity toward the hidden city airships to catch their luxury flight straight to Roscaelifer for their anniversary date. Meanwhile, back inside the minimalist living room booths at exactly 6:12 AM, the four remaining S-Rank task force members sat in a state of absolute, hyper-exaggerated Naruto-style shock after watching the video playback logs of Night 2's alchemical chaos. Liang Huàn: Okay, the security playback is finished and I am officially off to find Elio's secret forest base. You three better not cause any big trouble or wreck this house while the Master Creator is away on his trip. Pom-Pom and I know exactly where Maid Valora is keeping watch, because behind this deer skull mask, my analytical processors can clearly smell that pink-haired android Bangboo Thiren prick from a mile away. Pom-Pom: Oh, she is incredibly annoying, pom! But don't worry, he is currently fast asleep in the maintenance wing, pom! Anyway, we have a major operational issue because we have to wait on the rest of the crew to wake up. But don't you worry, I am gonna go upstairs and wake them up myself right now, pom! Himeko: And who exactly is going to wake up whom, Pom-Pom? The elegant, red-haired Navigator Himeko suddenly stepped out of the upper corridor staircase, her crimson eyes blinking calmly. Right behind her walked Welt Yang, adjusting his glasses, followed by Dan Heng, who was walking slowly with his arms crossed after the stasis field completely unpaused. Pom-Pom: Oh! So you're all really awake, pom! I'll let you know right now that these people in the lounge are our official local guides, pom! They are here to show us a comprehensive tour of the city sectors, pom! But wait... Himeko, you're not seriously going to wear those formal space clothes out into the populace, are you, pom?! Xuánlong: You better get completely different clothes on immediately. There is plenty of native Earth luxury clothing stored inside the spare wardrobes upstairs, so we have to wait for the rest of your members to get ready. By the way, did you see the recap Night 2 event? Welt Yang: We did... and to be completely analytical, it was an absolutely wild event. I still cannot believe how easily poor March 7th got her statistics format-swapped into a helpless full rabbit Thiren beast posture. What an absolute disappointment on her defensive metrics. Dan Heng: Let you know right now... I am completely back to my normal male baseline state. However, the alchemical logs indicate that if I ever swap my elemental parameters or touch that volatile white potion again, my chassis will violently reformat back into a female target configuration. So, yes... I am absolutely never going back to that tournament event again. The exact microsecond Dan Heng finished speaking, Xuánlong’s body completely froze. Her sharp crimson eyes locked straight onto his sleek, dark-haired profile, and her ancient Thiren DNA experienced a massive, hyper-exaggerated Naruto-style heartbeat shock wave! Giant romantic cartoon cross-veins popped over her temples as her forehead flushed bright pink. Realizing that he was an authentic, high-spec Dragon Half-Thiren possessing the exact same ancient reptilian aura as her, she fell into an instant state of unyielding romantic love! Abandoning her disciplined posture, she lunged forward with massive comedy star-eyes and threw her arms tightly around Dan Heng’s waist, dragging the Archivist into an intensely tight, passionate hug! Dan Heng: Excuse me... what are you doing right now? Why are you hugging me? Xuánlong: Oh, I'm sorry! I'm a little nervous because I cannot believe there are other dragon Thirens like me living in this galaxy loop! Pom-Pom: Pfft—hahaha! Oh wow, look at that, pom! You just got a girl hug, Dan Heng, pom! Can I officially say he is completely in love with you, pom?! Dan Heng features an extreme, wide-mouthed Naruto-style frozen face, vertical black despair shadow lines slamming over his forehead as a giant cartoon sweat drop rolls down his neck in absolute, unhinged embarrassment! Tiderider: Alright, break up the romantic bickering loop. We have to wait on the true meaning of this operation. Whoever the remaining group members are upstairs, we need to split this entire crowd into three separate groups. You need to tell the rest of your space survivors to get different local clothes on right now, understand? My PubSec protocols won't tolerate any cosmic apparel leaking into the city sectors. Get changed immediately.
