"You guys really aren't cut out for having court cases, cus what the hell was even that?" Jay aggressively pointed over his shoulder as him and the group exited the Colosseum.

Save for Sana and Omegaα who stuck back to have a talk.

"This is the first time we've held one in many millennia. Cut us some slack for being out of practice." Bae yawned loudly.

"Still, it usually doesn't get this bad. Omegaα isn't someone who always holds meetings with us. They only ever appear when a massive calamity is at hand." Fauna explained.

"Then I guess whatever I knew was on that threat level." Jay shrugged. "Still, thanks for...standing up for me. Even though I kind of threatened you guys for it but I never expected you to go to blows over it."

"We can't understate it enough when we say you're a special case." Kronii didn't even spare him a glance and kept walking ahead.

"You're a friend of our friends and we wouldn't want to get on their bad side." Mumei giggled.

"HoloMyth is a threat Demi Gods?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Not exactly a threat to us but they become really irritating to handle when acting against us."
"True it's really frustrating sometimes."

"Guys, we're right here." Ame grumbled.

The sizable group waited outside, under the dazzling starry sky above in a place they had no clue where. There were distant planets that could be seen in full view and a cluster of nebulas such a pinch in sight.

"Besides...it worked out well for us. We got to meet Sana again." Fauna smiled warmly as she looked out to the colorful ocean mixed with the blackness of space. "We have you to thank for that."

"But I guess the real reason we helped you all the way was because Bae has taken a bigger interest in you." IRyS said bluntly.

"Wait huh?" Jay wasn't even registering what she said until it was already said and done.

Suddenly, a grinning rat was standing infront of him with a bloodlust in her eyes.

"You're full of surprises, that's for sure. Didn't think you'd actually manage to land a hit on us. But you play dirty to do that. Nearly got us killed on your second try? That's something to admire." She stepped closer to him. "So you better keep your eyes peeled cus I might just return the favor in full."

Out of nowhere, Gura jumped and latched onto Jay's back in a piggyback then clawed her hands forward at Bae. "Back off the merchandise! He's mine!!" She hissed.

"I don't think she's interested in that way..." Jay said worriedly.

The rat laughed with a devilish curl of her tail.

"What's the situation back there looking like?" Kiara glanced back at the Colosseum.

"Eh. Sana's just gonna give Omegaα a therapy session or two but in all likelihood, you're not gonna be annoyed any longer." Kronii raised her hand forward, opening a rift in spacetime. "We'll just save you the trouble of being here any longer."

"Really, just like that?"

"What? Do you want to stick around?"

Gura rubbed the back of her head and shared suspecting glances with the others. "It's not that. I guess we've never had it this easy."
