ā° Resets Monday!
~~~~āā~~~~~~~~āā~~~~
Night. Shatterdome rest quarters.
Natsuki lay on large bed.
Room size: acceptable. Environment clean. Living facilities complete. Decorations flickered blue projectionsācyberpunk aesthetic. Underground location: no outside view. Virtual window simulated moonlit night.
"Based on that kaiju's levelā"
"This universe's mission shouldn't count as dangerous."
Natsuki recalled earlier battle details. Reviewed mentally.
This world's kaiju: completely different concept from past opponents. Massive bodiesāmismatched strength.
Tomorrowālisten to humanity's detailed plan, make subsequent decisions. Minimum: gather more intelligence first.
Thus thought.
Thenā
Gaze turned to right wrist bangle.
Black bangle gleamed under simulated moonlight.

[Primary Mission: Investigate abnormal space-time fluctuations; eliminate culprit]
[Two Choice Missions settled]
[Current Hell-Level Mental Space Training Duration: Two hours]
[Start training? Yes/No]
"Training?"
"Train my ass!"
Natsuki waved hand. Dispersed panel. Dismissive expression.
Choice missions, hell-level punishmentādirect ignore!
This far from homeādidn't believe Hikari's reach extended here.
"Sleep!"
Grabbed blanket, pulled over. Head buried in soft pillow. Stopped thinking annoying matters.
"Haven't dreamed in so long. Hope for good dream tonight..."
Left those words. Fell deep asleep.
...
...
Time trickled away.
Natsuki gradually lost consciousness.
Truly hadn't dreamed very long time.
Deep sleepādream called [Past] sought him again. Once more: shattered by subconscious.
Tonight: another dreamless night.
Howeverā
This time: not just dreams sought him.
Something else.
[Assessing Mental Space environment... Assessment successful. Hell-Level standards met]
[Estimated duration: two hours]
[Initiating training-exclusive wake method]
THUNK!
Muffled sound rang in white space.
Immediately followed: roar.
"WHO THE FUCKā?!"
Natsuki explosively launched from bed. Like awakened lion. Glared around, searching culprit. Golden eyes blazed ferocity.
Searched circle.
Didn't find perpetrator.
Insteadāenvironment left him stunned.
"Where the hell am I?"
"Still Earth???"
Stared at pure white space. Utter bewilderment. Scratched head.
Entire space: nothing except bed. Only white floors, white ceiling. No visible end any direction.
[User successfully awakened]

Moment saw panelā
Knew culprit.
"HIKARIā!!!"
"Just wanted sleep! Is that so hard?!"
Went berserk.
Knocked awake mid-sleepāanyone would break. What person does this?!
[Make choice quickly. Ten secondsāautomatic random selection]
"Fuck off!"
"Still making me choose? Choose your Babarue!"
"Hikari, you're such Babarue!!!"
Pointed at ceiling. Cursed.
Developed this broken bangleāBabarue among Babarues!
Ruined beautiful lifeānow won't let sleep!

[Assigning instructor... Success!]
[Venue switches thirty seconds. Prepare]

"???"
Watched system ignore wishes, run automatically. Momentarily powerless to complain.
Zero rights, huh!
"Whatever."
"Train if you want."
"Know everyone in Space Garrison. Don't believe can drag Captain here."
Chose give up.
Forget broken training.
Returned soft bed. Pulled blanket. Expression: do what you want.
Soonāthirty-second countdown ended.
Scene switch.
THUNK.
Watched helplessly: white space distorted. Blinding flash. Instinctively closed eyes. Felt midair. Comfortable bed vanished. Fell from sky.
"Tch... where now?"
Landed sandy ground. Kicked dust. Clutched back, slowly stood. Looked aroundāseemed outdoor Earth area.
All around: sand mounds. Tall, short. Complete nowhere appearance. Scorching sun hung sky. Baked skin.
This trains psychokinesis?
"This place... feels familiar?"
"Like seen in someone's mission file..."
Carefully examined sand mounds. More looked, more familiar. Ground beneath: countless tire tracks.
Looking tracksāominous premonition arose.
Remembered: once mission with Leo. Leo recounted bitter past experience...
Just as ponderedā
Beepābeepā
Cream-colored vehicle drove from dirt road end.
Jeep.
"Oh shit!!!"
