38 Fear The Moons

He bought a ranch with the money he earned from defeating Gwen's widow form. Amanda laid trained with him shooting ember at him as he danced around the attacks. Occasionally, he shot one back. The four succubi were in a pile with some of his clones they seemed to prefer to fuck non-stop and he wasn't about to stop them. Amanda was getting stronger with the training and much faster.

She learned fire charge on her own and used it often to keep up with him. Amanda managed to master burning a rock before him much to his annoyance. He wasn't better at fire release than a fire type. He delivered a half-hearted kick to her stomach and ended the fight. She lay on her back breathing hard. The next gym was a grass type to Amanda and Britney would get their chance.

Britney was currently glaring at the Angel. "Britney get back to cutting rocks." Bastion said. The rack pokégirl obeyed and held a rock in her hand trying to slice it in two with wind chakra. A chakra exercise that he would have to duplicate soon. After he masters fire chakra.

Hel was busy working the garden growing berries and enjoying herself. Kari his arbust was enjoying a swim and Gwen was planting with Hel.

Angel was currently on the internet trolling and arguing with other pokégirls that he was better than their tamer. So, he decided to get some me time and started to turn rocks into slag. Holding a stone in his hand, it quickly turned red with heat, and air bubbles began to shoot out of it creating tiny holes. He wouldn't consider this part of the exercise completed until it turned to slag within seconds. After a minute it melted in his hand. He had a dozen shadow clones working on the problem.

He looked at his suit. Bastion hadn't forgotten about his mobile suit. Once he created the normal stone model, he began purchased some copper wiring, electrical tools, and started recreating some of the main components in chakra armor. He memorized the old models inside and out, even getting ahold of some blue prints for a new prototype.

He thought about going to one of the engineering schools but decided not to. Everything he needed to learn was already on the internet.

Once he finished getting his chakra armor enhancements put in his mobile suit looked more advanced. It had a natural chakra shield and jutsu absorption. Lightning rods stuck out of it built to disperse electricity better than the previous model. It enhanced his chakra through the suit even more.

His interest in the league had faded somewhat. Now his target had changed to the legendary pokégirls of the world. He wanted a real challenge.

To prepare for the coming battles he got in his suit and began absorbing sunlight. On the edge of his ranch there stood a man in a black hat taller than eight feet. He looked to be a space marine of all things and Bastion could sense familiarity from the man.

"Hello brother I've come to chat you up. If I'm not offending, you with my company." The massive man said. Bastion nodded his assent and the man stepped on his land. The space marine wasn't wearing armor neither did he carry a weapon.

"I'm pleased to meet a brother on such a remote world. It is rare to meet another in this neck of the multiverse. Some are too prudish for it." The man said. "Where are my manners I'm known as Marric of the thousand sons legion. Might I ask your name brother."

"Bastion so when did you become a space marine if that isn't rude." He asked. His brother was powerful his system read his chakra at 540,000,000,000,000cp far more chakra than Bastion had. It was impressive, he hoped to get to that level someday. What was really amazing was Marric's 200,000,000Ki.

"Bastion I wouldn't consider it rude. I became one of the emperor's angels a thousand years ago. About 5 lifetimes from now. I still remember Magnus before the coalition and the fall. My gene father was a great man." Marric said, Bastion was waiting for the horrible news to come.

All joy seemed to drain from Marric's face. He became grim. "I would like to discuss some news about the fate of this world. Do you have study in your ranch house?" Marric asked. Bastion nodded and led the way. "Most wouldn't be so amiable to a brother. We are a lonely bunch at times." Marric said.

"Master who's this?" Angel asked. She glared at Marric with eyes full of distaste.

"This is my brother Marric. He has come to deliver news that may change our course for the near future. Treat him like family Angel." Bastion said kindly. He felt shaky not with excitement but fear. For the first time since dying he felt like he could lose big. "Bring us some calming tea please." Bastion said.

"A dark queen, an interesting addition. Most wouldn't trust such dangerous schemers. We may have more in common than I thought brother." Marric said in a chuckled. Bastion pulled out some stone chairs and they sat together at a marble table.

Marric moved his hand over the table examining Bastion's craftsmanship. "Most who learn chakra never use it as anything more than a weapon. Hagoromo Otsutsuki would be proud. He preferred ninshu over Indra's creation ninjutsu." Marric said and gave Bastion a pleasant smile.

They sat there neither wanting to move to the topic immediately. "Have you visited any of the magic schools since your rebirth here? I heard vale was a good one." Bastion questioned. The space marine looked thoughtful.

"No, ever since the tutelary fiasco I've avoided most forms of magic. Chakra and ki are fine, I prefer to stay away from mana manipulation. I've learned more than a few antimagic tricks. I've thought about making a true anti magic and psychic team for the coming apocalypse." Marric paused and looked thoughtful. "You have a very nice mobile suit. It doesn't match this world's technology. How do you drive it?" Marric asked.

Bastion let him change the subject. If the space marine didn't want to spoil their meeting with grim news then, he would let it sit. "Its chakra armor, some hints from puppetry, and ingenuity. I drive it with chakra strings. I only lived to six in my first world, so I needed something to help me against larger sturdier adults." Bastion said.

"The god emperor has blessed you with talent rivaling any tech marine. Be proud of that." Angel appeared with three cups of tea and pulled herself a seat. She served each of them then herself. Taking a sip, she waited. Marric took a sip. "Wonderful tea, Angel was it. I suppose you are impatient for the news." Marric said. Angel's expression of serenity didn't budge.

"I don't want to say it, but the truth is never easy when its terrible. The Brethren Moons have taken notice of our world and are approaching us. I've seen markers hidden in labs all over the planet. They were created by Subeke. He thought they would be safe far away from the dead space multiverse. Taking them has only moved us closer to dead space." Bastion stared at the man in front of him.

"You have ki couldn't you destroy them in a wave of your hand." Bastion said.

He shook his head. "They have eaten gods of other universes. Before they reached our universe, they stopped by the MCU and consumed Asguard from there they moved on to stronger universes devouring populations and gaining defenses against ki, chakra, and even spiritual energy. Only the systems can save us from convergence." Marric said.

"How long before they arrive?" Bastion asked.

"I retrieved a note from one of our brothers before he committed suicide to escape the coming apocalypse. 1 year and the markers will begin transmitting their signals causing hallucinations, 2years and necromorphs will cover the streets, and 3years the brethren moons will be hear to devour all life." Marric said. "From the flesh of trillions, a new moon will rise before they leave to devour a new world."
