"You'd better watch out, Mizuki! I'm about to kick your ass!"
"Don't count on it, Forte! I'm better at this game than you are, and I can't wait to make you cosplay!"
"As if! We'll see how you feel when you pay the penalty!"
Umikage sighed as he looked up from his reading to stare at the pair. Ever since his upgrade to being an Elemental Guardian, he'd found that he was rather uncomfortable if he was too far from his Element, rather like how he'd felt before the upgrade wandering around with his weapon chip disabled. As such, he tended to spend most of his down time in the Wily residence's indoor pool complex. He rarely actually swam, but sitting in a pool chair to read was relaxing. At least, it had been until Splash Woman moved in permanently.
Splash Woman - or Mizuki as she went by now, having chosen to take a 'civilian' identity once the Mars Project was sidelined for improving Earth - wasn't a bad roommate, per se. She tended to be quiet and thoughtful, spent most of her time in the pool, and didn't make any messes, and was considerate about Umikage's desires for dim lighting and a lack of splashing. And to top it off, her singing - when she wasn't being deliberately seductive about it - was soothing and relaxing, making a perfect backdrop to his reading. She was also rather easy on the eyes, especially since she'd taken to wearing her 'civvies' as she called them, the seashell top and the covering of her tail scales she'd used to get Mega Man to listen to her in private back on Mars. However, Umikage preferred she not flaunt as much, as it always made him feel awkward. He had only acted like Naruto once as a joke to tease Vinyl. He did not want to turn into Jiraiya.
Of course, all sense of the pool area being relaxing went out the window once Forte started courting her. They had hit it off quite well as friends even before she'd been dispatched to Mars, and both quickly explored the idea of being more once she took up more-or-less permanent residence in Sky Lagoon. However, Mizuki's aquatic nature pretty much meant they had to meet up in the pool area, which meant that Umikage was forced to listen to their antics. Mizuki could be counted on to try and be quiet and considerate when alone, but those two words weren't in Forte's vocabulary.
At the moment, the two were locked in combat on the game console Forte had brought in with him so they could compete. Given Forte's nature, nearly everything they did together was competitive. Forte loved to prove himself, and Mizuki loved toying with him, making them a good match in that way. Off in one corner were two folded piles of clothes. The first had a red Chinese-style shirt, black kung fu pants, and black shoes. The second was a white 'Hooters' shirt and a short pale blue sarong. This was the 'wager' the pair had made for their current video game match, with the loser having to don an outfit chosen by the winner.
The video game battle was due to a recent change in policy up on Sky Lagoon. Actual robot fighting had become somewhat discouraged, as the goal of the entire world now was to promote the peace and progress Vinyl had enforced. It wasn't outlawed or against any regulations, so no robots got punished if they decided to duel with weapons. Instead, Vinyl would just give them a disapproving gaze and pout at them about it. Oddly enough, no robots had engaged in such fights since the first time she'd done that.
Before long, the game ended with Forte declared the winner. "Gotcha, Mizuki!" Forte crowed happily. "Now let's get you changed!"
Umikage suppressed his groan. He knew where this was going. Mizuki would now don the rather skimpy outfit Forte had picked out for her. She'd use it to tease him outrageously until he couldn't control himself anymore. If Umikage was lucky, Mizuki would remember to erect some form of 'privacy screen' so he at least wouldn't be treated to a 'show'. Either way, the sounds would be bad enough.
Mizuki chuckled throatily. "Very well. Just a moment." Turning, she swam to the edge of the pool, then hefted herself out of the water. As she rolled, a change caught every eye.
It started at her tail fluke, as it rolled up and curled in on itself as the blue scales around it seemed to shimmer and shift, revealing human feet ending in delicate toes. The shift continued to move up her tail, the scales shifting and folding to reveal pink flesh matching the skin tone of the rest of her, and two long, shapely legs. She then slowly pushed herself to the feet.
"That's new," Umikage muttered thoughtfully, keeping his eyes on Mizuki's face. Forte showed less restraint and chivalry, as his eyes kept dropping down to confirm that yes, the transformation made her lower half completely humanoid, but did not provide her with any sort of covering.
Mizuki let out a throaty chuckle. "I asked Vinyl if she could give me a way to walk around outside the water for a time. She managed somewhat, but my systems require being immersed in water for most functions. This will work for a few hours - longer if I'm not moving much - but at the very least I can visit Forte in his room, as long as I can shift back in his tub briefly before making my way back."
Umikage stared for a time, surprised. "...thanks," he offered finally.
Smiling, Mizuki took a step forward, only to stumble. Forte quickly caught her. "Thanks," she said warmly. "It's going to take some getting used to legs..." Her voice trailed off, her eyes glazing somewhat. "Forte, I think you should...m-move your hand..."
"Oh, uh, sorry..." Forte stammered out, shifting his hand up to her back.
Mizuki took a shaky breath as she rebalanced herself. "I think Vinyl needs to tweak down the sensitivity there just a bit..." She then turned a teasing smirk on Forte. "Or...maybe not..."
Forte swallowed convulsively, unable to do more than that - and stare - as Mizuki discarded her seashells to pull on the outfit Forte'd picked, the white shirt clinging to her wet synthoflesh, as did the sarong.
Mizuki then wrapped her arms around Forte's arm. "So...aren't you going to lead me to your room?"
Umikage watched Forte staggering out with Mizuki clinging to him and shook his head ruefully. "Young people..." he groaned out. "Whether human or robot, there's only one thing on their minds..."
"Why'd we come here?" a voice called out from down the hall.
"Because my home doesn't have a pool!" another voice responded, a slight Russian accent tinging the words. "Now come on, Rock. I want to show you my new swimsuit~!"
Umikage snapped his book shut. "I think I'll ask Vinyl for some vacation time," he grumbled. "Somewhere I can get some peace and quiet near water. I hear Antartica's nice this time of year." With that, he warped out of the pool area, not even waiting to see what this pair would be getting up to.
per se
Looks like there's going to be a splash in Forte's living quarters.
And despite all his rage, Umi is a rat in a kage.
Oh well, maybe the guardian can get some time to chill out on his lonesome.

Nice update though
Poor Umikage. You have to feel for him. I imagine it would be easier if he had someone to do that stuff with as well, but still.
Poor Umikage, his face is probably locked in an expression of
7673876 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Agreed!
Well, that happened.
Has antartica been civilised in this? If not that just makes it better.
Now I want to see Rock's girlfriend, who's name I cannot remember how to spell, swimsuit. It must be very suggestive.

Another enjoyable chapter. Great chapter.

Bow Chicka Wow Wow on that second image.
I kinda sympathize with Umikage. I gotta deal with being around any time one of my brothers decides to bed a girl in the same house...
Poor Turtle Shadow!
Oddly reminds me of

More along the lines of Mystique changing form.
7674143
...Oh my!
7674305 ditto
Kalinka doesn't want to go far till marriage as told by last chapter, but wants to show off a sexy swimsuit? That tease.
Heh, Umikage's little problem reminds me of dealing with college roommates.
7674305 EXCUSE ME! If you're going to quote someone, give proper credit.
7674143
Well then. It's nice to see everyone getting along. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the great work. Deus tecum.

B-But I had that idea on 10-22/2016! I even messed with Google Translate to name 4 characters I made from the idea.
...hold on, I just realized that it wasn't 100% exact but the retracting tail part was a coincidence. As long as Splash Woman can hide her fins entirely then I am fine.
Capucha Pyknos is still safe... But still this section made me feel...
7677796 ...now that I've heard the song again, I wasn't THAT sad. Like that Drama Queen Emo type sad.
PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN!
7680147 That is what the internet is for after all.
Is One Punch Man going to be a bot? That would be super cool.
Well, so far peace is going pretty good.
Nope, I don't want to know!
Why do you always seems to add brain-bleach chapters at the end? WHYYY?!
Hahaha. Mostly kidding.
So with your hilarious Naruto reference you'll use later, I'm going to say the name's based off this guy.

Also, the name itself means "Cornel", a kind of dogwood shrub.

... What's the difference? One of them invented a Jutsu where he could turn into a naked hot chick at will, and the other peeps at women in the nude. That's just about the same in perviness.
The most powerful weapon on Earth, even more than the Bass Cannon.
both and interaction between bass and slashwomen AND more of umikage is fun to see, though my biggest thoughts now is who the mastermind was, i'm still betting on it being skunkman's creator...
