Shion, Momo and KOS-MOS walked towards there sleeping quarters onboard the Elsa. Gaignun had shown up a short time after breakfast and invited everyone to his personal beach. Needless to say everyone was surprised but still accepted his offer. The three of them entered their quarters and while Shion and Momo soon found their swimsuits, KOS-MOS just stood there. Momo picked up a towel and looked over to KOS-MOS who was just standing there. "KOS-MOS is water proof right?" Momo asked to Shion who was still looking for her towel. "Well of course. It would be embarrassing if she is capable of obliterating thousands of gnosis but could be stopped by a single drop of water." Shion replied with a smile fueled by her ego. "Then why not give her a swimsuit?" Momo said trying her best to sound as innocent as possible. Shion's ego driven smile increased, "Actually it was Miyuki's idea. I was hoping to test it out." She said holding up her connection gear. She soon found her towel and the three of them walked out towards the shuttle on the Durandle. "So umm...Can I see it?" Momo asked while they walked sounded almost too eager. Shion giggled and replied, "When we get to the beach you can will see it. I am using phasing technology, which is the same thing that transmits KOS-MOS's weapons into her hands. Momo looked up to meet eyes with KOS-MOS and the android suddenly blushed. Jr. was disrupted from his dismal solitude by the Iron 4 theme playing from a device in his pocket. He grumbled knowing all too well that only one person had access to that communicator. He pulled the small waterproof earpiece out of his short's pocket and put it in his ear. "Damn it! What do you want from me Gaignun?" He growled sitting up. "I hope you don't mind but I invited Shion and the others to my personal beach." Jr. almost fell off his floating beach chair at Gaignun's words. "Why the hell did you do that?" He screamed. Gaignun simply replied, "Why would it matter if you're not there?" Jr. was glad he was able to scream with out anyone being able to hear him. "I am at the beach you idiot of a younger brother!" He felt compelled to throw the earpiece into the calm blue waters but resisted so he could yell some more. Jr. looked to his right to see Shion and the rest of them walk onto the beach, and he was suddenly glad he was far enough so that they looked liked blurs. Shion and Momo walked out of their changing stalls to reveal their swimsuits while KOS-MOS was standing there in her full battle attire. Ziggy was sitting at a table trying to stay far away from the water. The other males were still changing and Momo and Shion stared at KOS-MOS. "Well Shion, change KOS-MOS." Momo said still trying to sound as innocent as possible. Shion held up her connection gear and pressed a few buttons. The familiar blue light was now engulfing the android and within seconds the process was over. KOS-MOS's usual cloths for a very revealing one-piece swimsuit made out of a silvery material. "Shion. This swimsuit is constricting on the upper chest. Please modify this attire to more properly fit me." "No! Don't! It looks fine...No! I mean great!" Momo blurted out while blushing profusely at the sight before her eyes. Momo felt that same feeling from when KOS-MOS whispered in her ear. She knew she had to hide it some how. Momo ran into the glistening waters calling out to the others to play with her. KOS-MOS quickly followed while Shion grabbed the beach ball. "Aren't you going to play with us chaos?" She asked seeing the sliver haired boy sitting down at a table that the cyborg was already seated at. He looked up and replied in a soft tone, "I'll be over there soon, but I promised to help Ziggy out." Shion smiled sweetly, "Alright see you later." She tossed the beach ball towards KOS-MOS and ran off into the gentle waters. chaos held up a wrench that Ziggy had brought with him. "Please tighten the bolts on the upper shoulder plate close to the pneumatics connected to the biceps." Chaos went to work on the robotic arm knowing exactly how it functioned but enjoyed pretending as if he knew nothing about it. After some time of the three woman playing in the glistening waters the mysterious boy was still working on the arm while Ziggy just sat there with an eye of examination towards the form of KOS-MOS. chaos spoke softly even though there was no need to, "So Ziggy, what do you think?" The youth asked looking out over the waters. The cyborg broke his stare and looked at the silver haired boy, "What is it you are asking about?" Ziggy replied wondering if the mysterious youth knew of his newfound secret. "Momo and KOS-MOS. They seem to enjoy each others company." Ziggy brought his human hand up to his cold chin as if to think deeply but his mind was made up a long time ago. "When I was still Jan Sauer my team once busted this guy who was buying and selling realians as if they were mere currency." Chaos blinked and asked, "What would that have to do with this?" The boy spoke knowing what the cyborg would say but enjoyed playing the fool. The cyborg continued with a sigh and with each word his emotions leaked through, "During the investigation we discovered the heart of a massive realian sex trade program that was spread across five planets. We rescued two thousand and seventy two realians most of them even had illegal upgrades against their wills. The whole thing sickened me to the very core." Chaos knew the conversation wasn't over, "Is that why you seem worried about it?" Ziggy sighed calming himself down, "I guess I can't help but view her as a child. I felt the same way when she told me she was going out with Jr." Chaos smiled in his usual way, "You really are like a father to her to worry so much for her." Ziggy looked back into the tranquil waters. "I guess this is what happens when people create beings blessed with the everlasting youth that mankind has always been searching for since the beginning of time." Chaos followed his gaze to see Momo toss the ball over to KOS-MOS, "Blessed...To her she feels cursed by that youth. She feels like she can never be truly treated like a woman as long as he has that body. She is a woman in mind and wishes for the body she so rightfully deserves." Ziggy looked back at the angelic boy surprised by the remark, "chaos. You always seem to know more than your letting on, so I wont force a reply about what I am going to ask. When KOS-MOS promised me she would protect Momo, she seemed almost...Human. Would you know anything about this?" chaos didn't lose his composure, "Thank you for respecting my privacy, but I will tell you this..." He paused as he looked at the cerulean haired android, "...What ever you see in KOS-MOS was already there since she was first created." Chaos sighed knowing his next words would be a lie, "It is truly a shame only one person for sure knew everything about her." Ziggy looked at the youth, "You are talking about Kevin Winnicot, correct?" The silver haired youth simply nodded his head.
