Chapter 25- This Kiss

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

"Interesting..."

 "Monte Vista can become so quiet...."

"Better late than never...."

 The girl took out her jet-pack.

 "Time to make some cash"

 "I just had to stay behind...."

 Sounds of screaming can be heard in the distance.

".....So many souls.... I wonder if it really is that bad...."

 Suddenly the screaming stopped as the girl landed face first in the ground.

Atlas looked around, "Huh? Who's there?"

 "God... Worst, Landing, Ever..." the girl held her head and looked at Atlas.

 She straightened herself, "Ahem... You are Atlas Tartarus of the Kagyura residence am I right?"

 "Yes... Can I ask why?"

 "Why I'm here to put you out of business..."

"Excuse....." 

 "Me...." Atlas' voice trailed off as he looked at her belt.

 "Wait a sec, How do you have that? I can tell you are pure human... That there is a demon sword and owned only by demons..."

"Oh right, I supposed you heard about the famous reaper Lucifer right?....."

 "I heard he was murdered a couple years back....."

 "By me...."

 "OH MY GOD! You killed Lucifer!...."

 "Him and a couple others... so many I forgot their names really"

 "I've been hired to slaughter you specifically though..."

 "and I'm getting quite a nice paycheck once I complete the task..."

"Hired?.... Wait a sec, I've heard of you..."

 "Really? I'm feared in the human world and demon underworld as well?"

 "Indeed, I'm Ezra Regan... also known as the Demon Slayer of the north"

"I've heard of you, we get warned while making contracts to make them more descreat... though I'm not sure who'd blab about me..."

"Originally they hired someone else, honestly giving a demon and her boyfriend a job for a slayer, I mean really..."

"Tophet blabbed..."

"I'll be back.... Or someone else will at least..."

Ezra raised her sword, "My tasks are fairly simple, I grew up learning sword skills so I can handle myself quite well"

"Clearly you haven't met me. Miss Kagyura has a contract with me, I'd love to not loose such a fascinating soul"

"I could care less what you demons do with human souls, I believe I was hired so someone else could take it at the right time..."

Atlas summoned his sword and swiped at her.

"Interesting, a typical approach..."

Atlas struggled to keep her blade from slicing off his arm.

"Fascinating these swords are, they cut through almost anything... except the material the sword is made of"

"Wait..... The only other thing that can cut this sword is..."

"Oh my god... I know how to stop them..."

"I can't believe we really have to wait out here..."

"This is where I waited, and what will happen will happen"

"What happens.."

"OH NO!! I'M ATTACKING MYSELF!"

Suzette tries to punch her face but blocks herself.

"Really ladies... Please calm down. I'm waiting for Leefah to show up as planned... What'll happen though? My time's Chasity is the only one that knows.."

"Ooh! Maybe an alien invasion?"

"CHAD, maybe it's best not to give suggestions... I know you try, and I love you for that... but no sweetie..."

"Is this girl really still smacking herself..."

"I can't t control myself!"

"Oh my god these people are driving me insane to the point I might just punch myself.."

"One of my primary functions is punching Suzette is she gets on the loopy, might I go ahead and fulfill that?"

"Please don't..."

Old Chasity looked around, "Seriously... any time now..."

"I can feel the force.... It... It wants my body..."

"Leefah where the hell are you..."

"I'm so lost...."

"....."

ROB-E looked over and saw Leefah by the lake.

"Target spotted..."

"I even miss Emit..."

"And Chasity of course.."

"And Ahora... Why did I have to get lost... especially after dark..."

"ATTENTION, You have been spotted on the patrol system. Leefah Kagyura must now be exterminated"

"What..."

"No no, you have it all wrong.. I'm allowed to be here..."

"Wait, you serious?..."

"It ain't in my logs..."

"Well um... I don't... Um..."

"I conclude you were lying.."

"Time for death"

"Oh great, this again"

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"

"Emit?!"

"Glad I found you, That tracker I placed on you when we hugged goodbye came in handy"

"Master Emit Relevart, you do not have permission to be out, as it is a rule by our leader"

"Oh you actually think I read that?"

"I honestly hate reading, Inventing? Now that's my style.."

"Take this for example..."

"What's... What's that..."

"I call it the PLOOP, Proton Leverage Optical Obeistic Pulser"

"Honestly sir, I never liked your devices.. or you in particular.."

"Be careful Emit! These guys are dangerous!!"

Emit pulled the trigger and fired a magnetic pulse at ROB-E, stunning him.

"You... You did it..."

"As I expected..."

"They recalled him to the lab, probably because they saw his systems cut off and needs maintenance... we have till morning at the least.."

"Th... Thank you Emit... You saved my life.."

"Miss Leefah.. I only came for one reason, this was just an obstacle I needed to bypass"

'Why did you really come here.."

"To tell you..."

"Oh my gosh it stinks here..."

"What?..."

'The lake.. It smells... You were saying?" Leefah said, rubbing her nose.

"Emit..."

"That...."

"Was awesome!!"

"I'm glad you kissed back..."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I'm afraid my reputation follows me everywhere..."

"I was afraid you would think badly of me, But I believe you are truly a one of a kind person..."

"Really?"

"Would you perhaps like to watch the stars?"

"I promise they are very pretty"

"I'd love to..."

'Where do you wanna sit?"

"Follow me" Emit said smiling.

"Funny..."

"Did I say something?..."

"No.. I just never expected someone would actually like me... even go as far to kiss me..."

"Leefah, you are so beautiful.. How could anyone not like you..."

"Thank you Emit... The sky is beautiful.."

"That's not actually stars, I think those are radio towers and the smog is just covering them..."

"Well... It's still pretty... and I'm here with you..."

Atlas lowered his head.

"Let's just get this door open"

"Why are you so grumpy Atlas?"

"Aww, is someone getting his feeling hurt?"

"Shut up.. both of you.."

"Yeah shut up Chasity.. well shut up me.."

"FIESTY!!"

"Guys hold on, I'm getting an incoming message on the radio receptors..."

"Miss Suzette.. please calm down before I fulfill my duties..."

"It says, Leefah Kagyura has arrived in Oasis Springs.."

"All Plumbots are to report to central park for a briefing"

"Any plumbots who are not ones to show..."

"Will be exterminated tomorrow during the...."

"Hold on, my radio is fuzzy..."

"During the.... Upward... Up... Uprising...."

"UPRISING!! WHY ARE THEY HOLDING AN UPRISING!!"

"I don't understand, what do they plan on doing..."

"I freaking hate you young Chasity, you don't know what I've had to deal with!"

"Well I clearly don't wanna, have you seen those age marks!"

"Guys please, this is important!"

"THESE ARE THE MARKS OF WAR, NOT AGE. I'm 1138 years old!!"

"Oh my gosh, Who cares about your age"

"You've seen your chest right?"

"This was back before you went all saggie maggie!"

"I will slap you so hard Tophet will be all like, 'What bitch got to her before me?'"

"Enough ladies"

"Why is he here..."

"How did he find us..."

"Leave now ARTI"

"Relax, I've come for Dorah"

"Like she would ever go with you..."

"CHAD please... I'd rather not make a scene..."

Suzette gasped, "Dorah... you... you can't..."

"I'm going with him... Please don't get sad..."

CHAD gripped his hands, "I'd never let you go with him..."

"Is anyone else confused on who this guy is... AND HOW DOES HE KNOW ME"

"ARTI I order you to stop this..." Suzette commanded.
"and leave Dorah with us! You don't deserve her!"

Leefah pulled up her skirt and stood.

Emit followed and pulled up his pants, zipping his zipper.

"I've never... Wow Emit..."

"I think the lady from down the street saw..."

"I don't know her anyways.. It's fine..."

"If you say so..."

"You have to go though.... are you sure..."

"Yes... I'm sorry Emit... my friends need me..."

"Thanks for the goodbye kiss, I'll come back to you. Promise."

"I'd like that a lot"

"Take care Leefah!"

"You too Emit! Chasity and CHAD, here I come"

"Leave now ARTI"

"I still hold a grudge for not finishing what I started long ago at the town hall"

"Honestly ARTI, I'm so ashamed in this. I created you to become a good person... not... not this.."

"Sentience does this.. You knew the risks..."

Atlas summoned his sword, having rusted over the years.

"You best hope you survive him ARTI"

"I learned long ago what could cut your metal..."

"Is that so..."

"Well you haven't met me in a fight!"

ARTI summoned a force of electricity...

and shot it out at Atlas and his sword.
