A.P.G.A. Internship Arc

Break out! The Eight Precepts Counterattack!

Luvbi felt comfortable and someone nudging her as she slowly regains consciousness. "Luvbi-san! Luvbi-san wake up, please!" A young girl's voice called out to her; it sounded familiar to her. She groans feeling tired and heavy, so she struggled to properly wake up, instead just squirming in the bed she was on. She scowled with her eyes closed... a bed? Why was she in bed? And why did that voice sound so familiar? The last thing she remembered had was trying to defeat the two Nomu and then everything went black like she.... swallowed by something.

Luvbi's eyes snapped open, and she sat up with a gasp. She remembered; a hero warned her before she was eaten alive by a Nomu and then passed out... "Luvbi-san!" She turns in surprised to see Eri in a white hospital gown. 

"Eri!" She exclaimed. "How...? Where are we?" Luvbi looked around and it was a bare stone room with numerous childish toys scattered about, all still in their original packaging. The bed she was on was large and clean, and Luvbi herself had been changed into different clothing; she now had a plain white gown, similar to a closed back Hospital Gown.

That alone made her realized that they were in Eri's old room, they were in the Eight Precepts base. Luvbi panicked more when she saw a pair of black bands around her wrist suppressing her magic so she couldn't fight and call for help with her telepathy, and with her costume taken, she didn't have any of the tools or gear that could help her! Her one comfort was that she'd been taken by the Precepts and not the League, but she had no idea of whether she'd be kept by the Precepts, ransomed for Overhaul or sold to the League, or perhaps something even worse! It didn't help that she'd obviously been dressed while she was unconscious, as her underwear was different too!

"I swear when we get out of here... I'm gonna give those creeps the worse beating they ever had." Luvbi said before turning to Eri. "But Eri how did you get here? Were you kidnapped by one of the Eight Precepts?" Eri nodded looking at the floor. 

"Onii-chan and I were in some part of Hosu city looking around but then there was an explosion far from where we were. Onii-chan carried me saying we needed to head back... But then out of nowhere Chrono and Chisaki appeared." She told causing Luvbi to clench her hands in a fist.

"They... beat up Onii-chan and took me." Eri started crying, Luvbi went over and put her arms over the girl. "It's okay, Eri. We'll get out of this." Assuring the crying child. "They have done anything to you yet have they?" Eri shook her head. "That's good."

"Oi, guard~" A man's voice slurred, clearly drunk. "Me and.... Huh... Me and Katsukame got told to come see the girls."

There was a sound like something hard impacting something soft, and the Drunk squeaked and complained incoherently as another, deeper voice took over. "It's Rikiya Katsukame and Deidoro Sakaki." Eri told as she trembled and clenched onto Luvbi.

"Who wants to see them?" The guard asked sounding like a boy, but Luvbi heard a hint of a girl's voice. The deeper voice spoke. "Chrono."

The door opened allowing the two men to enter the room. Luvbi's eyes widen at the two men.

 The Drunk, Deidoro Sakaki was wearing black pants and a big furry vest, as well as a mask with no features beyond two large, drain-like eye holes. He had long, greasy black hair and he was also still drinking and he reeked of alcohol.

The other man, Rikiya Katsukame, was a huge man with rippling muscles that wore jeans, a black tank-top, strange shoulder pads and a bird-like mask covering his whole face.

Both looked at Luvbi, and while she couldn't see their eyes, she could feel them on her. It made her skin crawl. Eri trembled in fear at the two. The guard then asked. "What does Chronostasis-san want them?"
