Nextgen Kids: Legend of the Nine Newborn

A Tale of Ice and Fire, Part 8: Royal Invitation

Before I write these next chapters, I had to catch up with RWBY, given that things happen with the Schnee Family. ...I was doing research on them as a refresher and accidentally spoiled what happens to Jacques. ^^; But coming back from that... holy frick, that season was wild. I don't even care about the show's problems, every episode was a roller-coaster.

Chapter 8: Royal Invitation

GKND H.Q.

When Sector MG returned to the massive treehouse, they were curious to find a pirate ship with a familiar Jolly Roger docked in the hangar. Who should they find in the entry lobby but Augustus von Fizzuras, yelling at Jerome. "So, where is that little punk then?!"

"We don't know personally, Augustus." Jerome replied. "The Earth KND are tracking her. I only called you here because I thought you should be informed."

"Look, Captain!" A little melon-headed child was holding the tentacles of two Wisps, the aliens carrying her like hefty balloons. "These weird space squids are so colorful! Can Suika keep a few?"

"Captain Augustus?" The man in question turned to Sector MG. "What brings you here?" asked Romeo.

"Apparently, one of your operative brats skewered my mom and kidnapped my cousin!"

"W-what?!" Wendy gasped.

"Sniff, sniff..." Victini caught a whiff of some fresh luck. His sights focused on Suika, innocently swinging from the Wisps' tentacles. He turned invisible and fluttered over.

"The operative is Miyuki of Sector IC." Jerome confirmed. "It would seem that..." He gave an overview of what he heard about Miyuki's mission.

"So, Miyuki is also on a Guardian quest..." Kiki repeated. "But, attacking innocent people? Even other operatives?"

"Yeah, and I'm gonna have a few words with her!" Augustus threw his lollipop stick to the floor vehemently. "Come on, Suika!" He marched to the hangar.

"Aye-aye, Captain!" Suika curled in her melon and rolled after him- "WAH!" Her melon helmet cracked open, exposing her big, blonde, and bushy head. Suika scrambled to her feet- "Oh, no!" and her stone sandals stepped on her contact lenses. "C-Captain... I can't see..." Her adorable face scrunched up in her attempt to squint.

"Oh, for the love of..." Augustus stomped back in a huff, lifted Suika, and marched out.

Victini sucked the taste of Luck Chi off his fingers. That girl wasn't half bad!

"Anyway, Miyuki had attacked Augustus's mother, so I felt the need to summon him here and tell him." Jerome said. "But, aside from her... there is actually another crisis taking place. Do you know that new game, Aincrad, that has become rather popular?" With that, he explained what had befallen Aincrad.

"TH-THAT'S HORRIBLE!" Wendy exclaimed.

"Damn it!" Romeo cursed. "All that time in the Realms and Xadia... we could've been helping!"

"It is not your fault that you... Wait, you have been to Xadia?"

"Y-yeah." Wendy answered. "We..."

"That is quite fascinating." Jerome said after hearing the brief tale. "Then that means you've only one flame to go?"

"No, we can't worry about that! We should be helping the people in Aincrad!"

"There are already several operatives managing the Aincrad situation. Plus, we've been keeping Cheren up-to-date on your progress, and he only wishes you success on your mission, he hasn't asked for your immediate return. Besides, we shouldn't allow more operatives to be trapped in the game."
