As soon as Vance finished making that statement, an explosion was heard outside.
Vance sighed in annoyance before moving Ava from his stomach, getting up, and opening his mouth to complain.
"Of course something happens the moment I open my mouth, why wouldn't it."
This statement made the girls laugh at him.
He sighed once more and said
"Yeah yeah, go on. Laugh it up. We all expected it to happen so lets not act like it's a surprise."
Celine was the one to respond.
"Master the timing... it was just too perfect. We should go and check what has happened outside now."
Vance nodded. He turned to the rest of the girls and began to speak.
"Ryoko you can come with. The rest of you can watch through the TV. We'll be back."
After saying this, Vance turned around and started to walk out of the living room with Ryoko behind him. As the two walked outside, Ryoko turned to Vance to ask him a question.
"Why did you ask me to come with you?"
Vance shrugged his shoulders as he responded.
"Because you can fly without magic. I think."
Ryoko sighed. "Yes I can fly without magic. But I have to be in my dragon form for that."
Vance clapped his hands. "See? It all worked out didn't it."
As their conversation ended, with Ryoko shaking her head, the pair made it outside.
Vance began to look around for the source of the explosions.
"Trees... sky... clouds... aaaaaaaaaand... dragons. *sigh* Of course it's dragons."
In Vance's sight was a large group of dragons of varying sizes, colors, and attack methods. The one thing they all had in common was that they were all attacking his base.
Vance facepalmed before turning to Ryoko.
"Ryoko, I think I already know the answer to this question, but are those guys here for you?"
Ryoko avoided Vance's gaze while answering.
"... Maybe."
Vance continued to stare at her for a few more seconds before chuckling.
"This feels pretty on brand honestly. Random problems happening as expected. Shall we go and ask what they want?" Vance said with a wink.
Ryoko smiled and nodded.
Receiving Ryoko's response, Vance began to float. He gestured to Ryoko to follow him before flying towards the group.
Seeing this, Ryoko changed to her dragon form and took off after Vance.
Noticing Vance, who was flying towards them, the largest of the dragons seemed to order the rest to cease fire.
