"Ahhh! Master, you are here! Listen to this!" Misaki came running through the ship with nothing but a top on with a big bright smiling face.
"Misaki, why are you dressed like that?" Kana asked, holding her head. She felt like she already knew the question, but she still asked anyway.
"Huh? Oh! I was rubbing servos with my new husband. He's husband number four. Three more, and I will have the whole set." Misaki said proudly while saluting for some strange reason.
"Alright, that is all well and good, but tell me, what did you want me to hear?" Kana asked. She had come to the ship to get a report on what was going on from Eie on how things were in the area.

You see, Misaki was outside the ship looking at the pretty rocks flying by when a man wearing white robes showed up and asked me if I knew anyone who had the death element. I asked if he wanted to rub servos, and he got really mad and threw a punch at me, so Misaki quickly retreated back to the void. He is still out there screaming like a madman!" Misaki explained as he pointed to the screen on the console not far away.
"And where is Eie?" Kana asked, ignoring the man. She figured she would deal with him soon.
"She is Tri'an haven't left their bedroom since yesterday. They said something about making little Eies," Misaki answered.
Kana shook her head and sighed. "Alright… Just let them know I stopped by. Are the reports in the usual place?"
"Yep! I can bring them up now!" Misaki replied as she skipped over to the control panel and pressed a few buttons. A holographic screen appeared in front of Kana with a bunch of files on them.
"Eve, bring up the data on the elemental on the planet I am currently on," Kana ordered. She wanted to figure out just which plane the elemental was hiding on.
"One second, please," Eve replied. Seconds later, the file in question came forward. Kana looked at the data and the images that came with it and frowned. "Second to the top layer, hmmm? Which means probably another few hundred years before I can reach it. I wanted to get it sooner in hopes of actually gaining a new element, but I guess there is nothing I can do about it."
Kana went through the rest of the files, which were nothing more than logs about what was happening on the ship and some information about what was going on outside the ship. "Alright. I guess I will go deal with the cranky man outside. Misaki….."
"Yes, Master?" Misaki tilted her head to the side as she stared at Kana.
"No running around the ship half naked, at least wear panties. Because if Creige sees you like that, I will toss you into a void someplace with no ability to rub servos ever again." Kana threatened, causing Misaki's eyes to show pure fear as she shook her head back and forth with teary eyes.
"Master! Anything but that! Master Misaki promises to always wear panties from now on!" Misaki turned and dashed off to her room. Kana chuckled and shook her head before turning to the screen that was showing the man in white robes trying to tear a hole in the fabric of space.
"Is this that idiot that the old man talked about?" Kana sighed as she disappeared from where she stood. Seconds later, Misaki came running back, still wearing the same shirt that, when flipped up, still revealed her pink flesh. Only she now had a pair of blue striped underwear on her head. "Master, I put them on! Master? Where did Master go?" Misaki looked around, but when she didn't see Kana, she shrugged, turned, and walked back to her room.
Outside the ship, Kana appeared behind the man, who was causing a spatial distortion as he tried to rip open the fabric of time and space. Kana pursed her lips and tapped his shoulder. "What are you doing?"
"Trying to get the bitch who knows where the damn Goddess of Death is! I need to kill her to save my Kana!" The man yelled out in anger. But a few seconds later, he froze and whipped his head around. His eyes went wide when he saw Kana standing there staring at him. "Kana? What? No, you are not here. Who the hell are you!?"
"Hmmm…. I guess you are the one who was searching for me. Well…. I will deal with the other Kana who should have died a long time ago when I can, but for now, you are a risk to my family, so disappear….." Kana's eyes opened wide as her hair began to flutter, and a space of nothingness began to form around her. "I am chaos. I am oblivion."
*Dong!* *Dong!* *Dong!* *Dong!*
The man in white robes stared at Kana in shock. In all his life, he had never felt fear since he had become the strongest but now…. He was sweating…. Cold sweat dripped down his back as he looked at the woman in front of him. She was not his lover. She looked like her, but she was not her. No, this woman was dangerous. Dangerous beyond all comprehension. He found himself taking a step back. Fear was all he could feel at this time.
Kana's hair fluttered as she stared deep into the man's soul in front of her. Her eyes were hollow looking as if she would consume his very soul. It sent chills down the man's spine, but her next words made him want to give up on everything. "In life, there are many trials. Your first trial is birth. Escaping the womb of your mother. Your second trial is growing up. Trying to survive the hardships of life. And your third trial is death. Welcoming the eternal peace that will hold you warmly as you slip into the realm of the dead. But there is one more trial that everyone must overcome…. And that is nothingness…. The state of nothingness is something that nothing can escape, even death itself is no match. Time…. Space…. None of it can stop the state of nothingness. I ask you…. Can you overcome this trial?"
