亚瑟影院

"Stop! Sto— ahhahaha~" Tears started coming out of Satoshi\'s eyes as he couldn\'t control himself anymore. The laughter that he was suppressing for more than thirty seconds now finally came out of his mouth and he was left wheezing as the air escaped his lungs.

"Hehhe~" Kuroe smirked as she emerged victorious.  This was the first time she caught Satoshi off-guard and getting a \'one-up\' on him certainly felt good.

"Hah. hah." Satoshi pretended to be exhausted but just before Kuroe could read his mind again, he swooped in and grabbed Kuroe by the sides, tickling her.

"It\'s payback time!" Satoshi announced, causing Kuroe to tear up as she threw down the towel. It was so sudden that Kuroe immediately started laughing hysterically.

"Give!  Give!" She repeated, but SAtoshi wanted her to experience her mercilessness— a taste of her own medicine.

After thirty seconds though, he stopped. The two of them panted as they sat side by side with each other by the edge of his bed. Kuroe seemed more than elated than usual, much to Satoshi\'s confusion, but he didn\'t take it to heart at all.

"Welcome back, Satoshi," Kuroe finally said, giving Satoshi a hug that he obliged. Of course, who wouldn\'t oblige to a hug offer?

"I\'m back," Satoshi answered, returning the embrace.

But just then, Kuroe reached to his sides once again. "Sore~" She continued.

Satoshi also reached for her sides.

"Let go."

"No, you let go first."

"No, you let go first."

Well, it didn\'t take long before the two of them got completely exhausted, and agreed to a truce before the two of them headed downstairs. Satoshi was beginning to wonder why his parents didn\'t hear how loud he and Kuroe was back there. Unbeknownst to him, it was because Kuroe decided to enclose Satoshi\'s room with soundproofing so as not to disturb anyone while she was messing with him. It worked out fine in the end and no one caught wind of the situation.

As Satoshi reached the last step of the stairs, his face reddened. Thinking about it now, he and Kuroe were the only ones in the room back then... \'Wait... what just... did I...\' Satoshi\'s thoughts became jumbled up as he thought about what just happened.

Meanwhile, Ayumu and Tatsuki, as well as Shiroi who had been waiting for him, saw him come downstairs and they immediately rushed towards him, calling out his name as they embraced him. Stray tears started streaming from Ayumu and Shiroi\'s eyes as they welcomed Satoshi\'s recovery.

"Ah, he\'s awake," Another voice came from the dining area.

It was none other than Kitamura Ayano, also known as the Eye Goddess. (For some odd reason, she still had some free time even though she\'s an agency head.)

"You woke up just in time, Satoshi, we\'re about to have breakfast." Tatsuki greeted, ruffling Satoshi\'s hair as he expressed his relief.

"Welcome back, Satoshi, I was beginning to get worried since you weren\'t showing up for your internship. Crispwisp had been looking for you." Eye Goddess continued, referring to Satoshi\'s partner back when he did his first patrol as an intern in her agency.

"Ah, I see,"

Meanwhile, another figure descended the stairs, rubbing her eyes as she sleepily muttered a good morning. "Goo\' morni\'g" Aira said.

p Her eyes then shot wide open as she saw Satoshi by the foot of the stairs, everyone gathered around him. Her footsteps quickened, producing a cute tippy-tap sound as she descended the stairs. She then clung to Satoshi\'s back before wearing a satisfied smile on her face.

"Good morning, Aira, did you sleep well?" Satoshi greeted normally,

Aira shook her head and buried her face in Satoshi\'s shirt before she started crying silently. Satoshi couldn\'t even turn around to console her since she was clinging to his back as tightly as she could.

Meanwhile, at the Beast Dimension

"This. Is. Ridiculous!"

Even though revered as the most powerful superhero in America, Star Spangled was still powerless when it came to the Beast Dimension. The weaker beasts were easy pickings, of course, but if he wanted to have a chance at taming the stronger ones, he\'d have to step into their territory and try to subdue one while fending off a group. It was a difficult task, but he decided to risk it all in search of an Altered Type.

"No matter how powerful that kid is... there\'s no way he was able to capture an Altered Type so easily... did he get some help? No, that\'s the only explanation for that outcome." Star Spangled said to himself as one of the White Lionesses bit him on the arm, causing blood to splurt out like a messy job of a butcher.

"His father is the number one superhero in Japan, after all, and it wouldn\'t be too hard for him to create and lead a party into the Beast Dimension. With a huge party, subduing one Altered type White Lion would be relatively easier... but no, if such was the case, then it wouldn\'t be long before someone leaked about it." Star Spangled continued his monologue. "Did the father and son duo come to the Beast Dimension by themselves? Yeah, that\'s more probable...  however, if they did go inside the Beast Dimension then surely someone knows about it? How come I\'ve never heard of any reports regarding the Plunder going inside the Beast Dimension?"

"Whatever it is... I shouldn\'t sweat out the small details. The end result is— they managed to capture an Altered Type White Lion. There\'s no way I can\'t find one if I looked hard enough... and then there\'s the matter of taming it. I can do this."

The White Lionesses slowly circled Star Spangled, completely cutting off his escape routes while putting pressure on him. He was nearing his limit, and it was only a matter of time before he, the hunter, becomes the hunted.

He clicked his tongue in frustration as he channeled his energy towards his fists, forcing one of the White Lionesses to the ground with his gravity effect. The other White Lionesses though saw this as their chance to leap onto him, and they were right by their judgment. Had they backed down, it would\'ve provided enough opening for Star Spangled to get away. But since the exact opposite was what happened, Star Spangled was instead backed into a corner.

Aghk!

Star Spangled\'s arm was bitten.

Kiueuhkk!

Star Spangled\'s leg was bitten.

It all happened so quickly that Star Spangled wasn\'t able to recover. With his appendages immobilized, he couldn\'t control his superpower anymore.

And that was the end of him. That day, Star Spangled died alone, ravaged by the White Lionesses and bitten to death.

...

Well, not really.

...

Almost at the same time, another figure was roaming around the Beast Dimension. The figure didn\'t have anything interesting to do back in his world so he decided to map out a portion of the Beast Dimension and try to tame rare beasts there. Together with his companion, an Azure Blue Tiger which is also known as Pheross, they roamed the land of the Beast Dimension with the intent to tame at least one beast.

"Wow, look at that Beast! It\'s so weird!" The man said to himself, pointing at a fiery jellyfish that floated on the plains. Although this should\'ve been a common sight in the Beast Dimension, this was the first time the man saw a fiery jellyfish so he was nonetheless surprised.

"And that too! What is tha— " The man stopped short as a cute slime was swallowed by the ground. Well, it wasn\'t actually the ground since it was some form of a beast that lived underground and feeds on slimes.

"Wow, that was a Coelefish, right? Who would\'ve thought I\'d see one in real life." The man said to himself, walking sideways so he would avoid the territory of the Coelefish.

A moment later, the man found himself by the rocky mountains of the Beast Dimension. He didn\'t hesitate to climb up despite the abundance of White Lions and White Lionesses there. Of course, with Pheross protecting him, he didn\'t fear any of them...

... then again, the probability that there are stronger Beasts there was always high. That\'s why the man still kept his guard up despite his urge to be adventurous.

"Argh~! No, get away from me! You stupid White Lioness!"

From afar, the man heard a familiar voice and his face suddenly lit up. Without thinking twice, he rushed towards the source of the voice.

That\'s where he found the Star Spangled, one-sidedly attacked by the White Lionesses.

"Oh, Jack! Long time no see! What are you doing here?" The man greeted, waving his hand.

"So you\'re here, Jean Grey, how about you? Did you come to tame some beasts in the Beast Dimension?" Jack Michael, also known as the Star Spangled, greeted back. "First things first, can you help me out here? They\'re going to snatch my arms and legs from my body at this rate."

"Sure thing, let\'s go Pheross!" Jean Grey ordered, extending his hand while Pheross charged forward.
