Must Talk to Someone About What Has Happened Around Town (Khrona Or Anyone Else)

Zesu and Venice would look around town for a good moment only to see things are different from what they have once knew it for. Being confused about the new places and whatnot the two would go to the one person where they would get a brief or detailed information about it all. That one man is Khrona! The two entered the first floor of the headquarters of Khrona's office and ask for an appointment with him. The secretary told the two to take a seat and wait until he calls out his next patient. Venice would quietly sneak behind Zesu while he was sitting and sat her busty cleavage over his head with a smile and tongue sticking out.

Venice: It has been too long since we've seen Khrona-sama from the first time we've met each other.

"Indeed, it has been quite a while. That is why we need to know about everything that happened while we were underground."

The two would read a magazine as they wait for their appointment to start.

There was an ominous presence looking over the shoulder of Sir Rikoyae, almost threatening... Nah, not really. It was Khrona, laughing his ass off at the entrails of the magazine.

"AHAHAHAHAHA, ooooh, that Akatsuki... They crack me up."

He wiped an imaginary tear from his eye, then looked back down and smiled at Zesu.

"Zesuuuu, buddyyyyy. It's been quite some time, hasn't it~?"

Khrona didn't seem angry that Zesu left... Wonder why?

Zesu and Venice continued to read the magazine without realizing that Khrona was right besides them. He noticed a sale for Subway which said "Buy one footlong sub, get three for free! Yeah thats right! THREE!!" The two squealed in excitement until they realized that Khrona appeared right in front of Zesu. He screamed like a little girl from the sudden appearance and jumped into Venice arms like Scooby Doo. It only lasted for a second as Venice dropped him on the ground and bowed to Khrona-sama.

Venice: Hello, Mr. Khrona-sama! How have you been?

Zesu would rub his butt from the ground while groaning from the fall, only to quickly get back up and salute his leader Kage. The appearance of Khrona seemed like the same typical look he have seen the first time he was recruited into the village and obtained Venice as his soul partner. However, you can't expect the same facial expression from him either since he doesn't show any true expression unless he is in complete insanity mode.

"Khrona! Zesu Rikoyae reporting for duty, sir! Also a few questions I need to ask as well. I apologize for being M.I.A for quite a long time and I'll accept my punishment!"

An anime sweatdrop appeared behind his head, only realizing what he just said, but he had no choice.

Khrona's eyes dimmed at Zesu's statement and his smile grew wide and dark, but only for a moment, as the punishment had already been decided.

"... Ha, we should play the Punishment Game..."

But that was another story. Khrona stood tall, stretching for a moment and yawning, seeming pretty lax about the entire thing. He scratched the back of his head and returned a bow to them both.

"... Yeah. It's toootally fine, Zesu. Don't worry about it... We all have our times."

Khrona remembered the time he delved too deep into insanity and became a wreck for a period of time, not even serving his purpose as a Kage. But that was a loooong time ago... Before his first revelation. Regardless, Khrona wished to know where he was and what his questions are.

"Alright then, out with it. Where were you and what are the questions?"

Zesu would change his posture into a normal status type of posture , but still respecting his leader in every way possible. He took a deep breath as he gets started into where he was during the passing times. Using various hand gestures and improvs to show Khrona how the situation went down.

"One day, me and my sensei decided to train underground to improve on my taijutsu abilities along with my Kekkei Genkai. My soul partner, Venice, was there along with us to help me with my training and my combo techniques to further improvise in any situation if possible. The goal was to train for several days underground with limited space and a possibility of death since the underground pit that we was training in was filled with sharp spikes. The session continued for two days until both my sensei and I collided with twice our power in our attacks which resulted the entire area to cause an earthquake and a massive magnitude not only on the surface, but underground as well. We were both crushed by heavy boulders and our spacial movement shrunk down into "lost hope". The lack of oxygen made it even worse as me and my sensei tried to convert our chakra and chi energy into vital energy that we've needed to survive over the months of our action. We've thought that we were gonna perish when our energy was at a critical level. I've decided to take a drastic measure that would kill me, but it was worth a shot. I focused my remaining energy into my soul weapon and shot a powerful Hydro Pump attack upward towards the surface to break away the rocks and gain some spacial room. Once I was able to, I used any spare energy to transform into one of my Kekki Genkai's to break back into surface. Once we were back on surface from over a year or so I forgot how long, we've realized that it was wintertime. So we head back to the village and also realized that everything has changed from what we've remembered. So now we would like to ask about what has happened during the time while we were missing in action, Kage Khrona."

Zesu would pant heavily and breathe deeply from the situation he was in during the days, Venice would just sprinkle him with water by using her water hose arm attachment.

There was an awkward silence.

"... Wow, all that happened? Well damn, you've been through some shit, haven't you? Hahahaha! WELL, at least you're alive."

Khrona patted him on the back a bit, getting ready for this long explanation...

"Soooo... What had happened was... There was a giant black hole that sucked in a lot of random people from here and transported them god knows where, then The Depths Village got attacked during a Unicron event, causing it to be damn near destroyed, so I proposed that we merge together to become one large village, which we in turn became, thus making ourselves the Dusk Village. After that, Maze gave up his position as Kage, giving it to some totally random and new girl, Hakku, so now you have a different Kage. After that, we got a few more threats in this village, like new witches and whatnot... I had a kid... Lotsa people had kids, ya see. Zeik went blind. Father X is... doin... his own thing. Got a lot of new Shibusen attendees and lots of new shinobi and whatnot... Some sort of Bleach thing was going on, but I didn't really care too much about that... Some guy named Kuja is doing some shit somewhere... Errr... Blahblahblah, personal info, personal info, aaaaaand... Yep, that seems to be all the filler episodes."

Khrona sighed as he had forgotten that so much happened... He probably even forgot some stuff, but that didn't really matter... Zesu got the gist of it.

Zesu and Venice would blink countless times in confusion. An awkward silence lurked about once more as the two begun to absorb everything in a nutshell for their minds. Zesu would then take a quick peek at the magazine because of a random ad that caught his eye, but that was not important. He focused his attention back to Khrona.

"I see. So in short: lots of crap happened, two villages collide as one, alot of newcomers lurking about because a soul weapon seems like the easiest way to go I suppose, and some guy named Kuja ( Who is around probably not molesting little boys.......ESPECIALLY NOT RIGHT NOW!!!! LMAO!!! Only those who know this and saw the parody will get the reference. And no I'm not talking about MJ.) is lurking about out of nowhere doing who knows what and we don't know when he will strike. Hmmm......Sounds like the same old village that I've signed up before, only with new decorations and people."

(Holy JESUS I needed that laugh. XD I laughed good and hearty at that reference.)

Khrona nodded his head, a certain sort of smoking pipe appearing in his mouth as he took a few puffs of it with an inquisitive look on his face.

"Ah, yes, indeed. Do not worry, however, this Kuja fellow is not a threat as of right now. And also, we are working on taking care of the other threats around the village... And that is why we need all of the help we can get! Yes, it is good to have you back."

Taking a glance at his weapon, however, he noticed that there were no souls for Venice... Hm.

"... And I know what your punishment is, guy. You're going on a mission... To reap THE GRINCH."

Zesu would gasp from the mission he'd received because of the name that he have heard to reap. He would then BAWW'D for a brief moment as he pulled out a Dr. Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas book and pointed to him, showing a waterfall of tears on his face just like in the animes.

"Y-y-y-you mean I have to kill off The Grinch and save Whosville to have Christmas once more?"

(( OH gawd the lulz and random comedy I come up with! xD ))

"YES, THE VERY SAME! Epic Santa wished it to be with all of his epic EPICNESS. Khrona could not BEAR the sheer EPICTUDE of Epic Santa and therefore, before I could realize how epic such a mission was, he had already given it to me. The entire Dusk Village exploded at least 40 billion times that day with pure epicness, but luckily it was SO epic that unepic people didn't notice it. So a looooot of people didn't notice." (HAHA, ZING!)

Khrona shook his head, a single tear falling from his eye as he looked up to the nonexistent sky because it was covered by a lead ceiling.

"This is for you... EPIC SANTA!!!"

"Huddle!"

Zesu would quickly take Venice a few feet away from Khrona and begin to whisper to her about the mission. It only took a quick second and the two quickly went back to Khrona, both nodding to accept the mission. Zesu, however, still had a few animeish waterfall tears running down his eyes.

"Zesu shall accept this mission and take down The Grinch. Should I also burn the evidence and steal the presents from Whosville along with it-"

Venice would hit him hard with her "Hydro Pump Blast" skill from her water hose attachment to knock some sense into him.

Venice: Don't worry, Khrona-sama. We'll take on the mission and reap The Grinch! Besides, I need some souls anyway.

Khrona smiled, giving the two of them the Thumbs Up!

"Alright then! Well, I guess here's the rest of your punishment, then... You can only go alone. You can't ask for any help of any kind. The only help you will receive is the location of where the Grinch is presumed to be... the Alps of the Chaos. No one has noticed him because he lives in an EPIC cave that ISN'T AS EPIC AS EPIC SANTA, YET STILL HAS EPIC PROPERTIES TO IT. Therefore, you must locate this cave, stop the Grinch, and save Whoville-- I mean, Vescrutia's Christmas. IN THE NAME OF EPIC SANTAAAA!"
