Chapter 137 : Another Addition to the Family

The scene opens with the sun rising over Eclipsed Eternity, casting a golden glow on the flying fortress. Inside, the Omni Voyagers and their girlfriends begin to stir awake, stretching and yawning as the morning light filters through their rooms.

A sudden knock on the door echoes through the fortress.

Himothy : "Who the hell is knocking this

early?"

Himothy groans, pulling his blanket over his head.

Ikari (rubs his eyes and swings his legs over the bed) : "I'll get it." (he mutters, still half-asleep)

He trudges to the door, clad in his loose pajama pants and a slightly wrinkled t-shirt. When he pulls it open, his drowsiness vanishes in an instant.

Standing there, smiling softly, is Victoria.

Ikari's face heats up as he realizes his disheveled state.

Ikari (Nervous): "Uh—Victoria! What are you doing here so early? I—I'm not even dressed yet!"

Victoria giggles, eyes glancing over his pajamas.

Victoria : "I just wanted to see you. I hope I'm not intruding."

Before Ikari can respond, the rest of the Omni Voyagers and their girlfriends emerge from their rooms, rubbing sleep from their eyes.

Mira : "Oh, hey, Victoria!"

Mira waves cheerfully

Mira : "Looks like someone's getting a surprise morning visit."

Ikari (clearing his throat) : "Alright, alright, let me get dressed!"

He darts back into his room, leaving Victoria standing with the others.

As everyone finishes getting ready, they decide to take a morning stroll through Celestara. The city glows with ethereal beauty, floating pathways glistening under the celestial light. As they walk, they engage in separate conversations, each wrapped in their own world.

Him and Demitra talk about past battles, laughing about the craziest moments they've had.

Him : "Remember when that cosmic leviathan in the Demon king's castle tried to eat you whole?" Demitra teases.

Him (scoffs) "Tried? I let it think it had me. Big mistake on its part."

Mira and Himothy, meanwhile, joke about their favorite foods.

Mira : "Okay, but tell me how you can eat that much spicy food without dying,"

Mira questions, hands on her hips.

Himothy (shrugs) "Built different, baby."

MaxedInfinite and Eliana discuss their latest arcade battle.

Eliana : "Admit it, I crushed you in Celestial Reignhood," Eliana teases.

MaxedInfinite : "Pfft, please, I *let* you win," MaxedInfinite counters

Draco and Wednesday walk hand in hand, discussing books.

Wednesday : "You still haven't finished The Book of Voidborn Legends?" Wednesday asks in mock offense.

Draco (rubs the back of his neck) : "I was… busy."

Wednesday(Smirks) : "Uh-huh, sure."

As for Ikari and Victoria, they walk closely, chatting about the beauty of Celestara. There's an air of excitement and warmth between them. Suddenly, they both stop in their tracks, turn to each other, and—at the exact same time—speak:

Ikari: "Can you please move in with me?"

Victoria: "Can I please move in with you?"

They blink, startled at their identical thoughts, and then burst into laughter. Without hesitation, they embrace, Victoria wrapping her arms around Ikari's neck as he holds her tightly.

Victoria : "I was hoping you'd say that," Victoria whispers.

Ikari (smiles) : "Me too."

The Omni Voyagers, having witnessed the whole moment, cheer and congratulate them.

Draco (Smirks) : "Damn, that was smoother than I expected."

MaxedInfinite : "We officially got another member in the fortress!" MaxedInfinite announces.

Mira (grins) "I knew this was coming. You two are inseparable."

Himothy (gives Ikari a knowing smirk) : "Look at you, Lover Boy."

Ikari rolls his eyes but can't hide his happiness. With that, they make their way back to the flying fortress, now with one more addition to their ever happy family.

Narrator:

Ah, another day in Eclipsed Eternity, and what a fine morning it is. The golden sun spills its light across the flying fortress, gently waking the Omni Voyagers from their well-earned rest. But, of course, peace never lasts long—not when love, laughter, and a little bit of mischief are in the air.

Our tale begins with a simple knock. A knock that, unbeknownst to those inside, signals the start of yet another unforgettable chapter in their journey.

As Ikari, still groggy and dressed in nothing but pajama pants and a wrinkled shirt, opens the door, he is met with a sight that sends his heart racing—Victoria, standing there with a warm smile. Oh, what a sight to behold! And, naturally, his friends are quick to notice, teasing him in the way only true companions can.

A morning stroll through Celestara follows, where the Omni Voyagers bask in the beauty of their city and the company of their loved ones. Banter, laughter, and inside jokes fill the air—each couple lost in their own world, enjoying the rare serenity that comes between their grand battles.

And then, the moment of truth. Ikari and Victoria, walking side by side, come to a halt. Their hearts beat in sync, their thoughts perfectly aligned. And, in a rare stroke of cosmic harmony, they speak the same words at the same time:

"Can you please move in with me?"

"Can I please move in with you?"

Ah, fate is truly a wonderful thing. As laughter spills between them and an embrace seals the deal, the Omni Voyagers look on with knowing smiles. Another love story unfolds, another bond strengthens, and another member joins the family that has defied the cosmos itself.

And so, with cheers and congratulations, they make their way back to the flying fortress, where one thing is certain—life, in all its unpredictability, is always best when shared with those who make the journey worthwhile.

Oh, but this is only the beginning. There's always more to come.
