Nextgen Kids: Legend of the Nine Newborn

God Killing, Part 10: Kill the Gifted Juveniles

Know what I noticed about Maki? Her first name is an anagram of "Mika," and her last name has "Haruka." And those are both of Numbuh 6.13's top characters.

"They have a barrier around the hangar entrance." Maki noticed. "Should we breach in from a different entrance?"

"Negatory!" Miu declared. "My Puncture Needle can break a cheap defense like that!"

Said device extracted from the bow of her ship... and let's just say it was rather inappropriate-looking. Regardless, it was effective in penetrating the hangar barrier, ramming down several small 4x4 ships upon landing. A platoon of Moonbase Guards lined up to let fire, but they hadn't expected a swarm of bugs to buzz out of the ship. Bees stung their vulnerable mouth areas and ants stacked up into fists to punch them. "Beautiful, Gonta!" Angie cheered, hugging the green-haired brute. "Atua will make sure to bless each of your bugs!"

"Gonta is grateful to Atua's kindness." Gonta blushed.

"Let's charge on through!" Tenko dashed forth. "Hold on, Himiko!" Her little witch friend rode her back.

"Tenko, she's only weighing you down." Maki said.

"I need to reserve mana by not using my legs." Himiko reasoned.

"That's right! Himiko can't give her all if she's too busy running!"

Sector SA, Cheren and Panini, and other ops trained their eyes as the horde of intruders breached the bridge. "HYAH, HYAH, HYAH!" Tenko's quick aikido techniques downed numerous guards. "Out of my way, degenerates! We're on a-"

Morgiana kicked across the air with frightening speed, her leg flying at Tenko. But the Fanalis's ankle was grabbed by Gonta, and in her attempt to swing the other leg, he grabbed it. "Ghhh!" She had to prop her hands on the floor to stay stable, struggling to shake free. "What are you?!"

"Gonta is gentleman. No like violence."

"For a gentleman, he's sure got a hefty Power Level!" Goombella said, using Tattle. "But Morg's still higher! Come on, you can shake-"

"Nyahaha!" The vanilla-haired artist, Angie danced and painted a fanciful design along Morg's legs. Gonta released her and, questioning herself, the Fanalis began to do a strange dance. "Your strength means naught to the will of Atua!" Angie performed the same dance. "Show him your respect and talent!"

Cheren drew his Hero's Bow and tried to snipe Angie, but the projectile was grabbed by Maki. "That's the leader." Akame whispered. "Distract him. I'll search his office." While the widow jumped off, her apprentice Shaved over and swung a Tempest Kick, but pulled back at the sight of Cheren's Mirror Shield. Panini punched fire at her, but only burned an afterimage as Maki Shaved behind and dealt chi-blocks to Panini's back. She kicked backward, but released a weak fire, whereas Maki zipped behind Cheren. He readily slashed back, but she ducked and kicked his stomach. "AGH!" Maki was shot in the face by a paintball, allowing Panini to score a punch to the face.

"Cheren!" Shino yelled, proud of her successful hit. "I know her from Aincrad! I think she's a CP0 agent!"

Maki hurriedly shook the paint off and glared at her. "You again!" She dodged Cheren's stab and kicked the sword out of his hand. She Shaved behind, but he bent the Mirror Shield behind and blocked her kick.

"WHOA!" A tennis ball flew with deadly speed, bending in Shino's stomach as she flew off. Goombella faced the culprit with a gasp: Ryoma, a short, black-clothed boy with wide pupils. He clicked a button on his racket to make the ball return to him. Ryoma sent it at Goombella, but the Goomba leapt, and was magnetically drawn to Index's mitt via her shoes. Index chucked her at Ryoma, headbutting him backward. "AAAH!" Index was then bound in thin wires, courtesy of Kirumi. The maid spun and hurdled the nun before advancing.
