"AIIIIIIE!" Therese screamed as she covered her head, having happened to be frightened by the earthquake. She whimpered as she held her legs, just having avoided a board.

~~~~~~~

"What would you like?" Glenn asked as he followed her glance to the bed. "I'll go... fetch..." He yawned before closing his eyes, already passing out again, entering dreamworld before Anna could do anything about it. Not even the smell of sausage and bacon could wake him. Luckily it was five in the morning, which was the usual time Taini was up at this point, just so she could train and keep her figure. Like she needed it.

And with nobody to stop her, Anna began her regimen.

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

Glenn could no doubt hear the crunching noise happening over his head, while a heavy form pinned him to the ground. A large amount of a warm and viscous substance dripped onto his face, rolling down it and no doubt obscuring his vision if he were to open his eyes.

~~~~~

"Ahhh!" Ace shouted, holding his head. "Damn ye'r loud!" He said, holding her steady. "Look, the ship is just doing self repairs, and it shakes sometime, so calm the hell down!" He grunted.

Glenn groaned awake, opening his eyes, only to panic when the substance practically entered his sockets. He then tried to see, only to see fuzziness. "Wh-what the hell is going on here!?" he cried out, wanting to flail.

~~~~~~~

"S-sorry if a plank almost hits me in the fucking head!" Therese cried out, though she was shaking. "I'm sorry, alright?"

"Yulia, just calm the hell down!" Ace said, holding her steady still, though more because all the shaking was giving him a headache. "Look, things happen, okay?" He asked before stopping to wonder how the hell a plank was there since they were in what was basically a cave.

~~~~~

There was no response, and the crunching noise continued, more of the substance dripping onto his face. Eventually, whatever it was stopped crunching and left. By the time Glenn would be able to clear his eyes, there would be nobody else in the room, nor would there be any sign of an intruder. Eerie.

Glenn sat up, rubbing his face. He wondered what the hell was going on, but he didn't let it bother him. He then walked out after getting changed, and he decided to head to the bathroom. Though he noticed it was occupied. So, instead, he grabbed a donut and began to munch at it happily, feeling very drone-like. Just as he was eating it, he was confronted by his mother.

"Get out. Now. We're fighting."

"HUH!?"

"We are fighting. Get outside. Right now." His mana keeps depleting...

"Yes ma'am."

~~~~~~~~

Therese just stayed still for a few moments as she allowed herself to be held. She just didn't know what to do anymore. "..."

What should she do? How should she react? Dammit.

"Are ya done shakin' then?" Ace asked. Was it concern? Probably not. Was it that he didn't want to deal with yelling and shaking? Much more likely. In any case, he let go of her and threw the plank out the window. "Whatever, ya should probably stay away from the doorway." He shrugged.

~~~~~

And Derrick was outside, with a little novelty flag in one hand and a soda in the other. Unfortunately, he had been afflicted by the family randomness and stupidity. "Go home team, go!" He said, waving the flag and then sipping from his soda. He seemed tiny from there.

Unfortunately it wasn't enough. Taini gripped her sword. Glenn appeared all out exhausted. It wasn't long before he was beaten far into the ground, not able to put up a fight in the least.

".....MOOMWREWR..." Glenn could only say underneath the dirt.

"This is really sad, Derrick. Something's REALLY wrong."

~~~~~~~

"... Ca... Can you at least show me where I can stay?" Therese asked with a deep sigh as she bit her lip, staring up at the man for a moment.

"I dunno. I don't own the damn place. Ya can find something." Ace pointed out. He then rolled back onto the couch. "Ya have yer own eyes and yer own legs. Ya can use them." He sighed, waving. "Also, there's some applesauce on the counter." He shrugged.

~~~~~

"He said one of the templar beasts drained the kid's power." Derrick pointed out. "It's probably just a thing, isn't it? It's more than likely that his mana will recover... But depending on how far away that planet was... It may take his extra mana quite a way to get here." He explained.

"Great... so he's basically useless..."

"Hey, stop calling me...Zzzzz..." Glenn groaned before ending up snoring.

Taini placed a hand to her hip before taking him by the shoulder and ripping him out of the ground. Glenn still was asleep, which irritated the woman. "HEY! You're not allowed to sleep all day! ...Gah, this can't be happening. It keeps draining... so we have to do SOMETHING to keep his mana up so he wouldn't completely lose his mana and die or pass out or go insane. I don't know. So I guess... force feed him?"

~~~~~~~~~

"I have... yeah, you're right," Therese replied as she took an applesauce and popped it open, sucking at it quietly. Her thoughts were elsewhere, obviously. "Thanks."

Derrick blinked, then removed his bracelet, placing it on Glenn's wrist. "My magic won't be as stable now... But at least he won't die or go crazy." He pointed out, slapping Glenn a few times. "Wake up." He said calmly.

~~~~~

Ace only waved to her as if to say, 'Trying to sleep, I don't care.' He rolled over again, not even moving this time as there was another small quake, causing several holes that were in the roof of the cave to be fixed.

Glenn continuously drooled until he felt better. Or at least awake. "...Hm? What's up?" he asked as he glanced at his parents, then himself. "Okay... how did I end up like this?" he asked as he blinked. "Well, the bracelet's working at least. Keep it on, Glenny." Taini said before kneeling down, facing him. "Otherwise you could risk losing all your mana. We need it to keep you stable until you gain it back, not lose it."

"So... what the hell do I do now?"

"Just... stay home, I guess. Either that or actually work on what you want. Just avoid your brother at all costs. He... he has been taking over, but it's at a very slow pace."

~~~~~~~~

Therese ignored it and decided to sit in the corner. She was so tired that she could find herself sleeping there anyway. With a sigh, she wondered what she would do in the morning.

Probably die from cursed apple sauce.

There were several more small quakes, and then a door opened, revealing a bedroom. With a bed. Which, for whatever reason, he had ignored. Or maybe he hadn't noticed it. Either way, he didn't take it. He probably wasn't being nice, so much as he just didn't care. After about the 35th quake, the man fell onto the ground. "Lousy..." He mumbled.

~~~~~

"And you should probably go check up on Anna." Derrick pointed out. "I mean, I can't imagine that she'd still be asleep." He said. "In any case, I'm going to try and tinker with one of the limiters and try and reverse it for balancing purposes." He explained.

Therese stood onto her feet after another couple of hours. She had taken the room and decided to rest there for the night, though she only remained half asleep throughout the night.

~~~~~~~

"I... I know... I will..." Glenn sighed as he dragged himself over to the home to find Anna. Opening the door, he began his hopefully quick search. Meanwhile Taini frowned after seeing her son's face. "I guess power is a man's pride point. Or anyone's for that matter. If I lost all my power, I'd freak out for a long time."

"Well... I suppose it would be for him, considering his stature... It was what he chose to make himself stand a cut above the rest." Derrick said. "Not like me though." He said as he tinkered with the seal bracelet.

Meanwhile, in Glenn's bedroom, the same crunching noise could be heard, even as the young man approached the door. It seemed rhythmic, only stopping once every 4 or 5 crunches, and even then, only for a couple of seconds.

~~~~~

Eventually the quakes subsided, and the morning came, though it could not very well be seen from inside the village. Ace sat up and yawned loudly. "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn...." He groaned, rubbing his neck. "I could really go for a beer or somethin' right about now..." He mumbled.

Glenn crept upon the door, then grabbed the doorknob. With a sigh, he opened it to reveal Anna eating away at the bed post. "What the hell, Anna????" He asked, baffled by what she was doing. He then walked over to her, afraid she would get splinters in her mouth or an infection of some sort, and pulled her away from it. "What are you doing???"

Taini laughed. "Yeah, yeah... well he has my blood too, you know. When we don't have power, we can't protect. You know that very well. To lose an extreme amount of power means you can't protect anyone... not even yourself. Glenn must be feeling really shitty right now."

~~~~~~~~~

Therese had a couple of covers over her head, feeling nothing but comfort as she slept away, not even bothering to wake up to the dull sun. She seemed to finally be dreaming peacefully.

It was, of course, at that point, that the ship decided to spite the poor woman. The ship began shaking violently this time, nearly knocking out a door and definitely breaking some glasses. Ace held firm to the couch until it passed, then groaned. "Ugh... Ya just had to get the ship in this shape, didn't ya?" he asked nobody in particular.

~~~~~

"Well, I'm sure he'll get something back soon enough." Derrick said as he rubbed Taini's shoulders. "We just have to remember that. He is your son, as you said, and that should be reminder enough."

Anna was squirming in Glenn's grip. 'But I'm hungry! Lemme go!' She whined as she thrashed about, kicking and flailing wildly. 'I need to eat delicious wood pulp!' She pleaded, sounding like the most disturbed child in the universe. Or at least the most pregnant woman in the house.

Taini's shoulders were tense, and she was thankful they were rubbed. "I know, I know. Hard to believe HE is almost thirty. Come on... I don't want to get any older," the woman sighed with her head lowered. She then lifted her eyes to meet Derrick's, just as she smirked. "To think without that pact, you would have grayed by now, then I think I would have regretted ever being with a human. Hehe, kidding."

Glenn grimaced as he grasped Anna by the arms. "Anna, I don't care if you're hungry! You're not allowed to eat that! I'll get you anything else that is actually edible! Just stop! I don't want you injured!" He told her as he struggled to keep her at bay from the bed.

~~~~~~~~

"...EEEK!!!" Therese cried out as she gripped onto the bed, feeling very frightened. She hugged her knees for a little while longer as she stared at the ground. "Ugh, when will this be over? I'm totally regretting this..."

'But it's soooooooooooooo delicious!' Anna said. 'Why do you hate me? Why do you want me to be sad? Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?' She pleaded pathetically. 'A high fiber diet is good for me anyway!' She whined, not understanding nutrition at all, but, that's Anna for ya.

~~~~~

"... I dunno." Ace said, entering the room with no shirt on. Because the bathroom was through there and he needed to shower. "But it's yer fault. Maybe ya should try and find some way to help." He shrugged.

~~~~~

"That... Wasn't very funny." Derrick said with a dull face. "You know something, maybe we should just go ahead and try and finish all of this now." He pointed out while crossing his arms. "I mean... We should pretty much hurry and deal with him before too late."

"High fiber...? First of all... having... wood does... it could kill you. Trust me, with what's slathered on, you'd be hurting yourself and the baby. If I have to, I'll make you cry by not letting you eat this! I'll get you anything edible related to fiber, okay? Anything!" Glenn pleaded as he held her tightly.

~~~~~~

Therese quickly turned her head at the sight of his shirtlessness, causing her to flush. Go away, you're not supposed to look like that... She thought as she folded her arms, then fell over.

~~~~~~

Taini folded her arms, agreeing. "If he gets too powerful... he could surpass any of us. What about Tsune and Mai-Fei? Couldn't they stand a chance with our family's blood? It's not diluted on their side either. And with Ai... well, yea, it's explained. But yeah, you're right." Holding up her wrist, she noticed the bracelet. "Once again, I'm going to have to leave you behind," she told it.

"I don't think the bracelet will mind too much." Derrick pointed out. "But I think you would mind it more if you left it on, wouldn't you?" He asked as he started up the rheiard. "Last thing we need is you getting killed because of the bracelet."

~~~~~

Ace caught her quickly. "Could ya maybe stop bein' so damn clumsy?" He asked, shaking his head as he walked to the bathroom, then slammed the door shut and started running the water. As the sounds were heard, splashes could be heard as well, implying that he was showering. And then another quake was felt, as well as a thump from the bathroom, as well as a howl.

~~~~~

'.............' Anna frowned, sniffling. 'I want toothpicks.' She said in a small voice, per se. 'I want hundreds of toothpicks. I promise I won't eat them, I just... I need them, okay? If you love me, you'll give me all the toothpicks, okay? Please please please please...' Etc.
