The Undying Mecha Emperor

Have you slid down a near vertical ice slide from a few thousand feet high?

If you have, then you'll probably know exactly what the biggest issue with that activity is.

Yes.

Your cold, cold butt. And without any way to get the hell out of the slide.

The exhilarating sensation of rushing down towards the ground was fearsome as well, of course, but I didn't have any issues with that.

However, for me personally, my biggest issue was probably the death stare I was getting from Prince Harris.

He was so obviously displeased and his eyes were so huge and so round and so focused on me that I didn't have a choice but to look back at him with my arrogant student of an Emerald Grade Designer character fully activated.

"Okay let's see. An arrogant student of a mega powerful being would probably… sneer at him? Let's give it a try." I thought loudly to Arabella.

"Hahahahaha! Yes yes. Please do give it a try." Arabella laughed gleefully. She was definitely enjoying herself and anticipating a colourful and highly entertaining drama to unfold.

"Hmph." I gave Prince Harris my coldest and most condescending sneer before lazily looking away to my right.

"That was probably pretty cool and solid." I thought to myself even as Arabella squealed with laughter.

However, I did not take into account that Princess Louisa would look up at that exact moment from her death grip on my body.

And just as I turned my head to my right, her face lifted up towards mine and our lips…

Yes.

That was my first kiss with a girl.

It was a pretty monumental thing of course.

But as monumental as it was, it paled under the message I had just accidentally given Prince Harris.

"Screw you dude. Your sister is mine. Here, let me show you." *kiss*

That's basically what my actions said to him, to put it mildly.

But apparently, Prince Harris had an overactive imagination, and given the fact that I even dared to kiss his little sister on the mouth in the middle of a frantic situation, he probably assumed that I had done the worst thing possible to her.

KABOOOM!!

A fiery explosion ripped out of Prince Harris and disintegrated the ice slide around him.

Three powerful looking dragons made of pure fire flamed into being and started to coil around him.

KRAAAAAAAA!!!! KR-KRAAAAAAAA!!!!!

The three dragons roared out ferociously as they reflected the red hot fury that burned in their master, Prince Harris' heart.

"You little bastard!" Prince Harris howled in a draconic, otherworldly voice a split second before he pointed at me and sent his three fire dragons charging at me with incredible speed.

BOOOM!! BOOM!!! BOOOM!!!!

The three dragons crashed into Princess Louisa and me and smashed the ice slide we were in into pieces.

The impact was so powerful that Princess Louisa was flung out of her tight embrace on my body and we started to tumble uncontrollably down.

But strangely…

"Hmmm? I don't feel anything." I muttered as the three dragons started to coil around me and burned my clothes to ash.

"Second brother!!" Princess Louisa screamed out in panic. "What are you doing?!"

Whoosh.

One of the dragons left me and started to coil around her as well, providing her with a fiery robe that protected her from lecherous eyes.

Additionally, the dragon also righted her position and helped her to float gently down to the ground.

"Harris. What are you doing?" Came Prince Wilford's calm voice as he hovered in the air next to Prince Harris by the power of his ice energy.

"That little bastard kissed Louisa right after sneering at me. He needs to die." Prince Harris hissed with extreme anger.

Prince Wilford turned to look at me and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The two fire dragons were still roaring loudly around me. But they were no longer roaring in anger.

They were roaring in pain.

Huge amounts of pure lightning energy crackled and arched all over my body.

CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE!!

The two fire dragons' red eyes started to glow an ominous white as my lightning energy started to saturate their very being.

At a glance, I was able to mimick the two Princes' energy manipulation technique that allowed them to fly and I slowly rose to match their position in the sky.

Fire. Ice. Lightning.

​ It was a fearsome, strange, unintended but absolutely cool meeting that we held in the sky that day.

"You. Fire dude. What is the meaning of your unprovoked attack on me?" I said as I finally sent the two fire dragons into overload and caused them to explode and dissipate into nothing.

Kaboom!

"You bastard. What have you done to Louisa? Why the f**k are you immune to my fire dragons?" Prince Harris responded with a series of questions of his own.

"Hmmmm." Prince Wilford added thoughtfully.

"What have I done? Ha! What I had done to her is definitely something that you two dumbass useless brothers could not do!" I shouted back at him with half glee and half mockery.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?? YOU BASTARD! I WILL KILL YOU!!" Prince Harris' fiery temper exploded once more and he drew a thin, two finger thick, gorgeous red sword and charged at me.

"Hmph. You may have to resort to weapons to attack me because of my immunity to your fire. But I don't have to do that! Eat this brand new lightning attack called… Barbequed Prince!" I pointed at Prince Harris and let out a massive bolt of white lightning at him.

Booom.

My lightning bolt and Prince Harris' massive attack both smashed into an impenetrable block of ice which suddenly appeared between us and nullified both our attacks.

"Calm yourselves." Prince Wilford said quietly. "Our mutual enemy is still around. Save your energy and your wrath on whatever consumed our mechas."

"Brother! This bastard, he had probably done despica-" Prince Harris started to yell.

But Prince Wilford simply raised his right hand to indicate that Prince Harris quiet down.

"Your mistake is in observing him too much. If you had spent time observing your sister instead, you would have realized that everything is fine." Prince Wilford said sagely.

Prince Harris stared at his brother for a few moments before finally calming down.

He lowered his sword and retracted his massive killing intent and overwhelming fire energy.

"Now, prepare yourselves for battle. We might still have a fight in our hands." Prince Wilford told him.

He glanced at me for a quick moment, but did not bother to say anything.

But to prove that I was on their side and to show a little bit of solidarity, I stayed with them and helped them to "search" for the monstrous mothership eating mecha devouring beast.

I closed my eyes and allowed my lightning energy to extend in all directions in short, random bursts.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Countless tiny lightning bolts shot out straight and true, and covered much more space than both their search methods combined.

Seeing that my tiny lightning bolts met with no resistance, both Princes started to frown deeply once more.

"Its gone." I said to them tersely.

"Its physical body is gone. We must consider the possibility of metaphysical beings." Prince Harris said darkly.

"We are not equipped to deal with metaphysical beings strong enough to devour motherships." Prince Wilford said quietly. "Seal this area, and let's go back to the palace. We have a Crown Prince to bring to accounting."

"Indeed." Prince Harris' attitude was still gloomy, but a spark of sinister eagerness flashed in his eyes for a moment.

"Come along with us. I have questions for you." Prince Wilford said his first words to me.

"Sure. I am on my way to the Royal Palace to hang out there for a couple of months as Louisa's VIP guest anyway." I said with a careless shrug.

Prince Harris' mouth twitched at my casual use of his sister's name, but he remained silent.

"Good." Prince Wilford said and immediately made his way down to the ground.

Prince Harris and I quickly followed.

"Second bro! What did you do to Justin! What the hell? Who on earth attacks their VIP guests like that? You dumbass! I will tell our Empress Mother what a failure you are as the Second Prince of the Empire and recommend that she punish you by sending you to meditate on your sins for three months in the Cave of Horrors! You dumbass! You're the dumbest ass in the whole Empire! No! The whole world!" Princess Louisa yelled at Prince Harris angrily.

She was still completely surrounded by the Second Prince's fire dragon and somehow, she looked absolutely resplendent.

"Huh? You…" Prince Harris was completely speechless.

But it was good that he was speechless, because Princess Louisa's attention shifted immediately to me.

"Justin! Are you okay? Did my dumbass brother hurt you anywhere?" She shouted loudly. "If he did, I will make sure he compensate you with lots of treasures!"
