50 Chapter 50: An ax to Grind.

Koro Sensei decided to stay back in this world to look after what they built and also to enjoy the fruits of their labor, two self-made billionaires, that's what they made out of themselves. Aster left an ice clone of him to help Koro Sensei deal with the workload and other things needed.

Roberta the maid wanted to follow Aster back to the HP verse, but he refused and asked her to take care of Koro Sensei since he won't be there to look after him with his clone.

Aster was teleported before the Frozen Lands, but there was something amiss... The Frozen Lands were still more or less the same, but his Crystal Garden was smashed into bits, and the snowmen guards he had made were all destroyed, even the castle was broken and destroyed.

Rage started clouding his heart and mind, thick dark clouds began swirling over the Frozen Lands, and a terrible blizzard shrouded the lands. A picture flashed before his eyes. His rage subsided a bit and a sense of worry and insecurity washed over him.

"Where is she? I should have never left her side, she better be alright, no she is strong, she will be alright... She has to be..." Aster muttered like a raving lunatic as he rushed to the castle, forgetting that he could text her in the Chat or ask Crystal to take him to her. Worry, regret, anxiety, and the growling rage swirled like the coming storm overhead.

He walked through the destroyed forest and reached the damaged castle, the whole forest was littered with machine parts or corpses of goblin-like creatures with green skin but tall as an average human. Cogs started turning in his head and a voice in his head answered his doubts.

"Notice: These fallen are the Skrull, a race that's adept in shapeshifting as depicted by the Marvel Comics and they come from a destroyed planet to look for a suitable planet to terraform for themselves."

Aster did not reply to that and kept walking till he could hear the shrill cries of pain and the voice he was longing to hear, afraid to never hear again, anxious to see how she was doing he simply teleported behind her.

What he saw had relaxed his nerves and a smile tugged on his lips seeing the person he was so anxious about was kicking the ass of the Skrull Commander as she roared in fury...

"You bastards could have gone anywhere to do whatever you want and I would not have bothered you. But you just had to come here, destroy my home, destroy his garden, the snowmen, now be honest and tell me where you came from. Better be honest if you don't want me to make you talk..." she roared with her heel grinding on the face of the fallen Skrull commander.

"Let me see if you like to have your house being destroyed, you bastards! he would be back any day now and how am I supposed to explain all of this mess when he left the castle under my watch." She pressed her foot harder making the Skrull commander writhe in pain.

"Huh, answer me you bastard, wasn't it your idea to start all of this?" she kicked the alien to send him flying to crash on a tree and break three more to finally stop and lie there on the snow with his last breaths.

"We can return the favor of breaking our home by destroying theirs, that would be fine I guess," Aster spoke with his usual soft and cool voice.

Madoka turned her head back to see the face that she had least wanted to see right now, a myriad of emotions flashed on her face like anxiousness, awkwardness, guilt, and sadness. Her beautiful figure was clad in torn and tattered clothes, which were damaged in the fight.

Aster just teleported before her and took her in his arms, "sorry, it's my fault... I should have made better protection for the Frozen Lands, I should have made better barriers, I should have created stronger guards, I should have not grown complacent, I should have... I should have never left your side..."

Madoka who was being held in the strong embrace of Aster was shocked at the level of physical intimacy she had never experienced before from someone of the opposite gender, she could feel his arms trembling, his anxiety, his regrets, and how he was holding her like she was made of glass made her realize something.

She smiled and wrapped her hands on his back and mused to herself, 'is this how it feels to be a woman, it's not all that bad... but I must not let him do this all the time, I am Uchiha Madoka, the strongest shinobi. I am a warrior and he must treat me as such, but I guess it won't be bad to feel cherished like this once in a while... right?'

While she was going through all of those thoughts, Aster had now calmed down with her petting him on the back, and when he calmed down, he flashed from her hands to a few feet before her with an embarrassed face that was reddish around his fair cheeks, "sorry, I..."

But this time Madoka flashed before him and placed her finger on his lips with a little blush on her face as well, "Don't apologize for caring about me, but remember this well, that I am not a little doll to be placed on the shelf to look pretty. I am a warrior who loves battles and the woman who taught you how to fight, so don't go around thinking that I can't handle myself."

"Besides, this was a nice fight after a long time and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but the place turned into a mess." Madoka smiled at him with her finger booping him on the nose. Aster who felt a ticklish feeling in his chest looked at the beautiful woman before her with the thought, 'is the booping a thing from the Uchiha Clan, first Itachi and now her... I was so embarrassing, but I kind of liked it.'

The calamitous clouds in the sky turned white and soft and beautiful crystals of snowflakes fell as they danced with the soft winds. Aster waved his hand and fixed her clothes and started fixing the Frozen Lands and created a battalion of snowmen to help him with tidying the place up.

The snowmen gathered all the bits of machines and the Skrull bodies and piled them all up. Aster went to the St. Mungos with Madoka, despite her unwillingness, and got her checked by the matrons, even the matrons who were treating her were surprised at her rate of recovery and regeneration, they went with the diagnostic spells and checked if everything was in order before discharging her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aster: "@Fury, Madoka slaughtered some aliens. Come pick them up from the Frozen Lands."

Erza: "When did you return?"

Aster: "A few minutes ago, and I already have an ax to grind. I will sort things here for a bit before I pay these aliens a visit. These green bastards came to my territory without permission and destroyed our home."

Amelia: "When did this happen? @Madoka, why did you not call me? I might be a lot weaker than you but I am sure I could have helped."

Madoka: "It's been months since I had properly stretched my old bones. It was all under control, but the Frozen Lands was damaged quite a bit."

Ruri: "You fought an army of invading aliens and say it as you went on a jog after a long time, only you Madoka, only you..."

Kazuma: "The aliens are in for quite the pain, send them back to the ice age Aster!"

Koro Sensei: "Guys, me and Aster are officially the richest people in Japan, and we still have yet to show the other half of what we own. Feeling rich is sure a novel experience, and having Roberta as my maid and secretary made life even better."

Fury: "Wait you bastards, slow down and tell me, what aliens are you talking about."

Koro Sensei: "You don't have to worry about that, those idiots are as good as dead if Madoka fought them, only one or maybe two are kept with their last breaths for information. And seeing that Aster's home was wrecked... You won't have to think about them anymore."

Erza: "I know what you mean Koro, when our guild was attacked by the Phantom Lord, I felt the same, the rage to see your home destroyed and loved ones harmed is not something anyone can choose to forgive and forget."

Koro Sensei: "Aster has a very nice hobby... I wonder if I should share it with you guys... NYUHUHUHU~"

[Notice: Koro Sensei was muted by the Admin for 10 minutes.]

Fury: "How did you do that, was that an option from the beginning?"

Kazuma: "I guess, even someone like Aster has a skeleton or two in his closet."

Amelia: "I don't know, but I do feel a bit curious about it."

Erza: "If someone else knows about it, won't it be Madoka, considering that they live together, I guess she might know about it."

Madoka: "Well, his only hobby is making things and cooking and he is really great at what he does. He usually makes modifications on the castle or decorates it, and sometimes works on his garden."

Fury: "Don't tell me, you made a mother*ucking army out of snowmen."

Kazuma: "If it was Koro Sensei, from his laugh I guess it must be something embarrassing..."

[Notice: Kazuma was muted by the Admin for 10 minutes.]

Tatsuya: "He made toys!"

Aster: "@Tatsuya, what were you doing to appear so late?"

Tatsuya: "Making sure that my sister's CAD is in perfect shape before the Nine Schools Competiton. It was delayed because of some management issues."

Fury: "What were you doing before that?"

Tatsuya: "Making sure that the dress she would wear for the Pillar Break was alright and before you ask, I was having lunch with her before that."

Fury: "You damned sis-con!"

Kazuma: "+1."

Aster: "+1."

Koro Sensei: "+1."

Amelia: "+1."

Madoka: "+1."

Erza: "I don't know what it means but sure,+1."

Tatsuya: "Is it wrong to love and adore my little sister?"

Aster: "Nope, I don't have a sister, but I know the feeling I guess."

Koro Sensei: "You bastard, I am not gay!"

Aster: "..."

A/N: So, I have seen the Poll and the verdict is as follows...

The members are not yet ready to face a world from the Nasuverse and for the part with the How to train your dragon, I need to rewatch it and fit it in a small sub-quest since there's not much to do there.

So, here are the options...

1. Tokyo Ghoul with no superpowers.

2. Strike the Blood with powers.

3. Black Clover with powers adjusted to the world level and system.

4. Blue Exorcist without powers.

You guys can choose and the worlds without powers will make sure the group members start off as normal people and gain strength in the normal way...

Choose the world you want to see and the next poll will decide on how the plot will go.
