Chapter 15: Vote/Hunted Part 1
So, I'm making this part as a little precaution in case there are people that want a certain addition to Nico's future harem.
Now, you can say your suggestions here, but there is one certain character that I believe needs their own vote.
Zs'Skayr, more specifically the genderbend version that is in my fic here. So, in case some of you want Nico to get some alien ghost pussy, just comment on the option.
Yes
No
Also, the voting will be open until Zs'Skayr's official debut. Now, let's get back to our regularly scheduled Osmosian content.
Fae signing off!

It had been a couple of hours since Nico had gotten back to the house after killing the group of Limax's, and it was now around two in the afternoon. No one had woken him up since they thought he was just tired from constantly waking up so early to make breakfast since the road trip started.
Though, even if they didn't wake him up, they did all try to figure out what was going on in the neighborhood. So, after Penn apologized to Vera for leaving yesterday, the rest of them went out and tried to find evidence on possible alien activity.
But at first, all they were able to find was a normal neighborhood with every one of the senior citizens acting as they normally would, according to Vera. Eventually they did find where Nico had thrown the dumpster last night, right on top of someone's car, crushing it beyond recognition.
This also led them to where the dumpster was originally placed, where they found the torn open hatch doors and long hole beneath them. After they got Penn to explore the tunnels below all the houses they didn't manage to find anything that would tell them about the creatures that were there. It was almost like anything and everything that could have belonged to the aliens just disappeared.
So, after looking for a bit longer they went back to Vera's house to gather their thoughts. Though, back at the house they found Nico awake and making himself some coffee to wake himself up fully.
"Morning, or afternoon, I guess? Eh, doesn't matter." The young Osmosian said as he added some cream into his cup of coffee.
"Anyways, did you guys manage to find anything?" He said before he took a sip of his coffee and letting out a relaxed sigh, loving the taste of his favorite form of caffeine.
"Not really, other than some big cave, we couldn't find anything on these things. Hell, even the other people here are back to being normal." Penn said, while going to the couch and sitting down. She was a bit upset at not being able to find out what was going on.
"Well, at least that means the aliens probably left, so that's something." Nico said as he sat next to Penn, not fully willing to tell he about the lives he took last night.
"Yeah, I guess you have a point, Nico." She said while laying her head on his shoulder. It's not like they have any type of lead to find where the aliens went, and everything seems normal, so they can't really do much.
As they couldn't find anything today, they decided to try and relax for the rest of the day, and if anything else strange happened they would step in. But, no aliens came, nothing else strange happened either, it was almost like they never existed in the first place.
Soon, their time at Vera's came to a close, and it was time for them to get back on the road and head to their next destination. Almost everyone had already said their goodbyes to Vera, all except Nico, who was the last one that wasn't in the Rust Bucket yet.
"Nico, I can't wait to see you again, I wonder if you'll end up getting more girls to fall for you next time I see you?" Vera said with a knowing smirk, almost like she fully expected him to have more girls vying for his affection.
"Aunt Vera, I highly doubt something like that will happen, but if in the extremely small chances that I'm wrong, I'll just go with the flow." Nico didn't expect to have any form of a relationship with any girls other than the ones he already loves. But, that doesn't mean he wants to break any girls hearts, so he'll cross that bridge if/when he gets there.
"Hehehe, well, I'll be looking forward to meeting the future girls my favorite nephew will end up loving dearly." Vera was entirely confident that the black haired Osmosian before her would add a couple more girls to the family.
"Yeah, yeah, heh. I'll be seeing you, Aunt Vera." He said as he stepped into the Rust Bucket and waved goodbye to Vera. And with that they were off to their next destination on their road trip across the states.
*********
After a while Max had parked the Rust Bucket in the desert far away from the road as to keep prying eyes away from them, while he made a structure for Penn to use for training purposes. He knew that there would be more trouble on this road trip, so he wanted his granddaughter to be as ready as possible.
But, while Max and the girls were outside the RV, Nico was inside the vehicle sorting through his latest loot in his messenger bag. Turns out the Limax ship had a lot more in it than he thought it did.
"Let's see.... maps of various solar systems, a bunch of weird utensil looking tools, a universal translator, a couple giant ass jars that are most likely their beds... but where is the- there you are!" He had finally found what he was looking for, the main computer of the ship, which most likely had an inventory list and information on the galaxy.
Without any hesitation he turned his hand into that of Upgrades, pressed it against the console, and started to go through the computer and all its files. Though, he had to first change the set language to English, as he couldn't read the language of the Limax's at all. After which he was met with a small history lesson on Limax's.
"So, the home planet of these bastards is called Linaxion, I'll add visiting that place to my to-do list, and their species seems to be able to make level seven tech, that should be useful for me. Now, let's see what they have hidden on this ship that I could use..." He started to search through the inventory logs trying to find anything that could be actually useful in combat, or for his future journey through the galaxy.
"Hm... so we got some EMP grenades that are capable of taking down most basic weapons that other species use, a few nuclear fusion grenades, I'll save those for a rainy day, and.... JACKPOT BITCHES!!!" Nico said as he quickly headed through the ship towards a certain room that held what he was excited about.
Opening the door he saw one thing in the room, a box that he was more excited than anything to open up. You see, it turns out that the Limax's use Taydenite, the strongest and most valuable gems in the entire galaxy, to power their ship, and they had a backup chunk of it in the room Nico was currently in.
"This is amazing! With this I've already gotten one step closer to surpassing Kevin, and I can also become the richest too!" He said as he took the large piece of Taydenite out of the box.
With the chunk of Taydenite in hand he went outside his new ship to see the various things he has been storing in his bag for a while now. Next to the ship were various tools, a few shelves with various books that ranged from recipe books all the way to books on several fields of science, and finally the many freezers and fridges that he stole from junkyards and repaired to store ice cream and other foods.
"I'll put you over here for now, hopefully I can get some more equipment in here when shit really starts to get going." Nico said to himself while he placed the piece of Taydenite next to one of his freezers. He then looked over to the spaceship and thought if he should change how it looks at some point.
"Should I make it into something different, appearance wise, or should I leave it be like this? I mean, I don't really like the mushroom style it's got going, but it would probably take a while to make it into a different ship and I might end up needing it soon." For all he knew something unexpected could happen that would need him to go into space sooner than intended.
He did have some ideas already on what to turn this ship into, some of which he could use the ship for two designs, the only thing he had to worry about was any time constraints. But, before he could go further into his ideas he felt the entire area move a bit, it seems someone moved his bag.
So, he quickly left the comfort of his personal hammer space-like bag, and came out of the messenger bag to see the empty RV, with only the sight of some crystals from Diamondhead piercing through the side of it to show him what happened.
"Why does it look like the Rust Bucket is trying to cosplay a shiny porcupine?" Was the only thing Nico said as Gwen, Lucy, Penn, who just timed out, and Max, entered the Rust Bucket.
"What happened, was rock head over here got too cocky and almost turned me and Lucy into Swiss Cheese!!" Gwen said while she went to grab a towel to get the sunscreen on top of her head off.
"It was a mistake, I'm sorry!" Penn said, looking guilty about her actions, while she sat at the table in the RV.
"Penn, you need to take that thing on your wrist more seriously, it's not a toy. You need to think when you use it." Max said while heading to the driver seat of the vehicle, most likely to get us back on track with the trip.
"Wait, wait, wait, tell me what exactly happened before the Rust Bucket got turned into a shiny pin cushion. Because I feel like I'm watching the sequel to a movie without seeing the first one." Sure, Nico already knew what happened, but it wouldn't go that well if he started letting his future knowledge known this early.
"Grandpa set up this thing for Penn to train, she started to get too into it, got hit by a tire, and shot in multiple directions afterward." Lucy answered him while she sat across from Penn at the table.
"Okay.... so, what I'm getting from that is, Penn needs to work on her spatial awareness, and y'all are upset with her for not being able to control a natural action of one of her aliens after she was caught off guard? Also, Penn only used the watch once to have fun since she got it, and that still led to her doing some hero work." Nico said as he sat by Penn, he kinda felt like the negative feelings here were unneeded.
"I- well- .....When you put it like that, I guess you have a point." Max said as he drove the Rust Bucket towards our next destination. He couldn't really find a flaw in Nico's logic here, especially since Penn was genuinely guilty about what happened.
"Penn, we'll train your spatial awarness next time, and then maybe some sparring with me or Lucy." Nico said as he patted Penn on her head, he kind of liked giving her affection like this.
"Okay, Nico, and make sure to go easy on me when we spar." The Omnitrix weilder said while leaning into his hand for more headpats. The reason why she asked him to go easy on her was because he had been training his combat skills far longer than she's had the Omnitrix, so he was more skilled than her when it came to fighting.
Nico's only response was a quick nod, while the Rust Bucket continued to drive down the road. It wouldn't be long before he gets to meet the bounty hunter's, one of who he was planning on scrapping for parts that would make working on the ship much easier. Today was going to be another good haul for him, and he couldn't wait to get his loot.
