Jormungandr (NOTE: This may NOT be what he actually looks like.. in the manga, he is only described as a boy) -->

Tsukomu grabbed ahold of both Nai and Kaminari, before shooting into the sky like a shooting star. Kaminari bit back a scream, but her eyes were still wide.

They teleported into a large, high-tech ship. Kaminari staggered out of Tsukomu's grip, the room spinning. Two black sheep stood in their path.

"Welcome back- baa." they droned.

"I'm home." Gareki and Tsukumo said simultaneously. 

Kaminari's eye twitched in shock.

"We have a guest." Tsukumo informed the sheep. Her purple eyes flickered to Kaminari. 'Say 'I'm back'" Kaminari scratched the back of her neck.

"Er- I'm back.. weird talking sheep things.."

"Voice print registered." one of the sheep acknowledged. 

"If you don't answer them straight away, they'll chase you out." Gareki added to a confused Kaminari.

"Let's take you to the captain, Hirato." Tsukumo suggested, grabbing Kaminari's shoulder as she began to lead her down the hallway.

Hirato was a tall man, with parted violent hair, glasses, and a top hat.

"Please, sit down, Kaminari." Hirato invited, gesturing to the couch in front of him.

"How do you know my name?" Kaminari asked skeptically. Hirato chuckled.

"I have my ways." he winked. "Now.. where did you find that ID?" 

"On the ground, by the mall." 

"It was just lying there?"

"Mmhm."

Hirato nodded thoughtfully. "Interesting.. tell me, before I send you to a room, have you done anything that might have endangered your health, recently?"

"No, not real- oh!" Kaminari's eyes widened. "That- thing, before it transformed, tried to give me cyanide! I spit it out before I swallowed it, though."

"That 'thing' is called a varuga." Hirato began. "But, even though you didn't swallow it, I suggest having a medical examination, just to make sure you're alright. Gareki, please take her to the medical wing."

"What!?" Gareki's eyes widened. "Why me?"

"Because, I need Tsukumo for a bit, and Nai still gets lost sometimes." Hirato explained. 

Gareki groaned. "Fine.. come on Bug Zapper."

"W-What did you just call me!?"

"Bug Zapper."

Kaminari's mouth opened and closed, then she scowled. "Shut up!"

In the medical wing, a tall man with gray hair and a beard was looking at Kaminari; checking her vitals, and making sure none of the poison had entered her system. 

"You seem okay.." Ryoushi muttered. "But just to be sure, tell somebody if you feel weird. You should be able to go to the show tomorrow, though."

"What show?" Kaminari asked.

"Every time we finish a mission in the town, Circus sets up a show to apologize for scaring the residents." Gareki answered. "But we have to wear some stupid costume."

"Everybody likes the costumes." Ryoushi protested. "Your just a little off in the head, is all."

"Shut it, old man." Gareki snapped, only to get smacked in the head with medical equipment.
