Honkai Get's Star Railed Chapter 12 (Patreon)

"How is Jake!? Why did the Stellaron Hunter's throw him into a storage room in the lower levels of the Space Station???" March 7th demanded while stomping her feet with a frown.

She was forced to watch behind a glass wall in the med bay while Jake was in a 'light' coma in the next room.

Welt Yang pushed up his glasses with a light sigh before he spoke helplessly. "We are unsure as to what their plans and motives are at this time. We know that, specifically, they didn't want Jake to interfere as that Doomsday Beast arrived here."

"But beyond that hard fact? Madam Herta made an idle remark that it was possible that they knew, with the events coming, that Stelle would gain the gaze of the Aeon of Destruction while fighting that Doomsday Beast. If Jake was involved, it was possible that the fight would have ended too soon for Nanook to even notice Stelle."

Which was a point that Welt was rather partial too at this point. While Jake's elemental effects were fairly strong. With himself there, Madam Herta being active on the space station to control it's forbidden weapons, and other factors... 

That Doomsday Beast, which was clearly driven to attack Stelle due to her being the host of the Stellaron, was still all to quickly beaten to death without much fanfare.

Welt's eyes lowered towards the 'other' factor in why killing that Doomsday Beast went so easily.

Locked within a gerbil ball was that very same Ditto that, when Jake was kidnapped. It for some reason, latched onto March 7th and followed her directions in turning into a matching Doomsday Beast and helped pin it down.

And now March 7th was carrying that monster goo-filled gerbil ball that kept the station's mascot dog Peppy, from trying to hump it when the Ditto transformed into it.

"When is Jake going to wake up is the real question. If the Stellaron Hunter's put him into a long-term coma, there isn't too much we can do." Dan Heng said in a solemn quiet as he leaned against the wall.

And he especially felt almost at fault for Jake's current situation, as he had been sitting next to him and couldn't react in time.

Welt cleared his throat and said calmly. "Madam Herta was convinced by Himiko to give him a quick checkup... Well, she wasn't hard to convince as she realized she would be able to take more samples from him. And she said that Kafka's Spirit Whisper will be broken by his will and imaginary energy, likely within the next couple of days at most." 

-

My so-called coma was more like a noose around my neck. I could feel that Spirit Whisper like a heavy blanket smothering my mind, and while I coudn't 'throw' it off. I could for sure scratch at it and wear it away.

And as for why my reincarnation-blessed body wasn't just no-selling the mind control... It wasn't truly 'mind control' in some mystical force that stole away my will. It was a constant whisper fueled by her power that directly attacked my mind entirely.

It was completely different from say a Heliobus trying to take over my body. If something like that happened. Said Heliobus would be in for a very fucking rude awakening as my protections and the Chaos Gatcha itself woudn't allow my mind and body to be hijacked.

But with a heavy groan, I felt the last of the Spirit Whisper energy Kafka used on was broken and my furious eyes snapped open with a scowl.

"I swear... I am going to take her over my knee and put a belt to her ass." I muttered as fuck, that dommy mommy nonsense of hers whispering to me to a long sleep.

When I leaned upwards to get out of bed. I first realized that I had a Silver Ticket for breaking free of the Spirit Whisper at first before Kafka kept on layering it on me. And secondly... I realized that I was in a new pair of clothes that looked liked they came out of a Final Fantasy fashion design.

"Hey, at least my fit actually let's me fit with the rest of the Astral Express?" I muttered before I pulled the silver ticket.

[Musk]|Uncommon Trait|[Your natural smell is really good, a bit arousing even.]

'Oh fucking joy. My natural body odor is attractive. That's exactly what I need when some crazy woman jumps through portals to roofie me with her dommy mommy whisper.' I muttered inwardly.

But with a sigh I noticed my phone was also on my bedside table so I got on and into the Astral Express group chat. And it took me a couple minutes, but I quickly figured out that I had been out for a few hours. 

So I sent an emoji GIF of a dog coming back to the waking world with a truly derpy face to announce I was awake. And then I asked rather bluntly. [Soooo uhhh. Did you guy's leave without me?]

Because if Kafka and the Stellaron Hunters were going to knock my ass out whenever it came to Stelle unlocking a new Path or something... I was actually scared about what kind of nonsense would happen over on Jarilo.

While fighting that giant mech of a monster in that Creation Engine, would a random Knight of Glamoth come in with a Rider Kick to blast me across the horizon?

The terminally online and hyper-social March 7th was the first to respond to the group chat as she hurriedly messaged back a stream of exclamation points before she sent in all caps that she was on her way!

"Uh oh... Why does it feel like I am going to get glomped and smashed into a deadly group hug?" I muttered helplessly as I imagined the pink haired menace running through Herta's space station from the Astral Express.

So I just went over and relaxed in my chair as I awaited for the rest of my new family to come find me in the hospital. But then I realized two things as I looked through the Chaos Gatcha and fingered the Ring of Protection still on my hand.

"Wait... Where the hell is my Ditto? And why is Kafka in my contact list???"
