~~~~~~Dinner Break~~~~~~
Unlike before Raynor no longer goes to the cantina to get some food, now that he has Goddess of Food living under his roof, anything not made by her taste like crap, the only time he tasted stuff at 'edible' level was at Schnee Manor...
That's why he stopped going to the cantina and instead brings his food from home.
"So, you never said where is Yang?" Raynor asked his best friend.
"Oh, she is home if not, then probably at your place learning about cultivation." His blond friend answered as he is eating his food.
Funny enough after ascending Erina gives her cooked food away far easier than before, the girl realised that there is very few who could afford her food, so now she gives it away.
Weird... but it works for him.
Now he can share it with his friend and make more people salivate from watching them eating.
"Did you offered to attend normal school?" Raynor asked curiously his best friend.
"I did, she asked if she will be able to fight here," Arno said that with a smirk.
"And what did you said back?" The Primordial Dragon can quite easily predict the answer, still he is interested to hear.
"The moment I explained what is 'regular school', from that moment she started to question my sanity for doing such boring stuff." Arno shrugged while explaining to his friend.
"Damn..."
Yang truly is Ruby sister, from the looks of it they are both adrenaline junkies.
"That's for sure you should start learning how to use those eyes of yours, otherwise you will slip one day and your mother will throw a fit the size of our school." Raynor motioned at Arno eyes.
"...You mean hypnosis?" The blond asked while realising that.
"Duh... or you explain that your best friend is freaking god who brings you around the multiverse, killing monsters and saving worlds along the way..." The Primordial Dragon said that with the sarcastic shrug, Weiss who was sitting next to him rolled her eyes while eating her salads.
"You know I still find incredibly hard to believe that your parents know-how powerful you are and they can still do things so... normally." The blond said while shaking his head in disbelieve.
"Well, what can I say? that karma is a B..." His white-haired girlfriend put her finger on his lips.
"Ray... you are deity... At least don't swear." Weiss seriously said that.
Raynor closed his eyes for a second before nodding at her, he will play by her rules in this kind of situation...
Seeing that he agreed to her demand she lowered her finger and continued eating her food while reading a book from Xia Qingyue's library.
"As I was saying, karma does the work for me, still it's only some time before my parents realise certain things." The Primordial Dragon shrugged while explaining the situation to his friend.
It's only going to take some time before his parents realise the amount of power they possess, even if Raynor is manipulating behind their back with Karma, Destiny and Fate...
One can't ignore the amount of power one posses and not use it.
~~~
Eventually, The dinner was over and Raynor could relax before they have to return to the scheduled torture.
So, while relaxing The Primordial Dragon decided to watch some YouTube videos, he was going through the list of some AMV's until he stumbled on something which brought a large amount of nostalgia.
'Gundam Seed and Freedom first laugh... damn...'
He pressed on it.
*Ding*
['Mobile Suit Gundam Seed' Universe detected]
'Hmm, this brings back a bunch of stuff...'
He started watching the video, Gundam Seed was his introduction to the Mecha genre which later lead him to watch Code Geass and Guilty Crown as well.
Well, Guilty Crown was more like thanks to Inori pictures...
"Hmm, you still listening to Meteor? isn't that song like 12 years old now?" Arno asked his friend when saw him watching Freedom dissecting ZAFT forces in the Battle of Alaska...
*Snort*
"Some things never get old! Still, I was watching Freedom launch more precisely," Raynor said with an eye roll.
"Whatever... 00 is better than Freedom anyway..."
...
...
For a second temperature on Earth increased by several degrees, some people experienced an unnatural urge to go to war, or just go on a rampage before realising that it's a stupid thing to do...
To stop this Raynor took a deep breath, and relaxed, he remembered the never-ending fan battle which mech is better, especially when comparing from different franchises.
Raynor got into Gundam with Gundam Seed, he was so into it that he watched it in one go, even the more disappointing Gundam Seed Destiny, in total making close to one hundred episodes in less than three days...
Yeah, at that time he was VERY much into that stuff...
While Arno got into Gundam with Gundam 00, and for the blonde 00 and Exia were the best mechs in the franchise.
Those series went wild with their GN particles, especially as the series progressed to the second season where they introduced 00 Gundam, he is not even talking about the trailblazer movie where a mech can teleport to the other side of a galaxy...
Well at least the effects were good of that movie, nowhere near Ufotable stuff but it was good to watch, and it was the first time they introduced aliens to the franchise as well.
Raynor outburst was noticed by his girls, it was hard not to when its room temperature increased out of nowhere.
Weiss was quite baffled when she felt the spike in temperature, someone like her who comes from a cold region, it was a very noticeable difference.
"...You know normally, we would discuss the difference in them and... stuff..." Raynor wanted to swear here, but Weiss was paying a lot of attention to him now..."... but there is no need... we should do a hands-on approach in this situation." The Primordial Dragon said with a growing grin.
A plan started to shape in his mind.
"A hands-on approach..." For a second his friend was trying to understand what does he mean until he made a connection and then looked at him with wide eyes.
"You saying... we will go there?"
"Well duh, there is only one way to figure out which mech is better..." The smirk didn't left Raynor face, while his blond friend gave him a deadpan look.
"Yeah... I don't think it will be a fair fight when I will be facing a God of War, even if I pilot 00 Quanta from the movie."
The Primordial Dragon shrugged at him for a second.
"I will be holding back, I will be trying to fit in that fragile reality."
"Yeah... but no, I would rather allow Setsuna to pilot it against Kira." The Blond found a solution.
Arno slightly furrowed his eyebrows, if Freedom has the same tech as 00 then it's going to be a very close fight.
"Fine, It will cool to watch either way." His friend shrugged at him.
No matter what it's weeb's dream to see mechas in action...
Does it make sense to build 30 metres tall robot of mass destruction when there are no enemies of that size to begin with?
Nope, people don't care, especially guys, if it's big, can destroy a bunch of stuff, then it's good.
Especially if it's done in 'style'...
"Good, then it means we have our next adventure chosen." Raynor hummed for a second, he started to think about how to advance from here.
"W-What? what you two talking about!?" Weiss said with shock, she wasn't paying too much attention to them.
The girl more precisely listened to Raynor if he was swearing, but how did this weird conversation evolved into a visit of another reality!?
"We will be going to two somewhat futurist realities, then we will steal giant war machines and use them in a fight to figure out which one is better." The Primordial Dragon explained quite casually to his girlfriend.
"And stop a genocidal war, and alien invasion," Arno added two bits, to which Raynor nodded, they will stay for sure to see it to the very end.
Weiss mouth opened for a second before closing.
'Right, that is something I shouldn't be shocked anymore.' The white-haired said that to herself there was a small grimace on her face.
"Great! THIS TIME I am coming with you guys!" Serah said very seriously to point that her Rinne-Sharingan almost manifested.
"Sure, just make sure you stick around this time, if you do then I will take you with me as well," Raynor explained to his pinkhead and Serah quickly nodded at him.
"Still, we will need help with this..." The Primordial Dragon said as he started to think about how he will do this.
While Raynor's first girlfriend just listened in, she was thinking how to use this situation to escape the damned place which is called 'school'!
~~~
After classes were over Raynor returned home with his girls, after a very satisfying dinner, he was sitting in his room.
He had was holding a pen in his hand, from time to time he twirled it between his fingers.
"Right, I guess it's time for me to pick up a certain blonde girl from a certain paradise world." The Primordial Dragon hummed to himself, the zealot girl will do nicely in situations where mortal minions need supervising.
'Heh, so we will be going to 'futurist' world?' Restia asked him curiously, she is quite interest how will worlds looks like from different side of the spectrum, she already saw Remnant, which
is a magical post-apocalyptic world that embraced technology after magic was taken away, she is more interested in a non-magical futuristic world, where magic never was a thing, she wants to compare those.
"Yep, but that's after preparations are done, I want to prepare everything and then enjoy the experience," Raynor answered her question before returning to his thoughts.
That leaves an engineer, he needs someone to tune up and improve the mechs which Arno and he will 'borrow'.
He could embrace the tech and use his Asura Path of his six paths, but that is a very boring shortcut.
Instead, he will get an expert who will work out the kinds and upgrade his future Strike Freedom to 00 level.
And how he will persuade this individual to join him? well, that's quite easy actually...
He will grant that person's greatest wish.
'Damn... that's a great idea... if I do say so...'
Raynor hummed to himself and started to think about who will join him on this great adventure!
But, then...
*BANG*
His room doors opened from powerful wind, Ray's gaze went on the individual who disturbed his plotting.
He could only sigh when he saw certain Gothic Lolita standing in the middle of his room doors.
"RAY!!!"
She rushed inside leaving rose petals behind her.
Less than a second later she was in front of him.
Then she grabbed his hand and hugged it.
"PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE..." The girl started to plead but Raynor quickly put his finger on her lips, the girl started to blush from this.
"Calm down and breath! Speak properly, or I will lower the amount of sugar you intake per day."
Ruby instantly calmed down after hearing the threat to her very survival!
*Gulp*
"...Please take me with you! I heard that you will be going to a reality where massive robots exist!" She asked pleadingly, her silver eyes sparkled, she looked like an abandoned puppy who is looking for a new home!
"...You realise that there will be war there? I am not going to use much of my power to influence things! I am going there for the full experience, that means war, violence, and much more."
Ruby flinched hearing that, that sounded not so nice anymore...
Still, after experiencing a very long internal battle the scythe-wielding red riding hood came to decision....
