It took a little time to disentangle DragonierMan from the mess, both physically and mentally. Finally though, he sat up and looked around. A small message packet was sent to his processor from Destin, and scrolled across his eyes, telling him that he won. Drago quickly stood up at the good news and thrusted his hands to the sky in victory. "We are victorious!" He shouted.
Suzume and Aya began clapping and cheering, trying to get the crowd going. Even going so far as to make a few clones to raise the amount of noise they could make. Though Drago calmed down quickly during the rush of applause and walked over to VoiceMan, extending a hand to shake. "You had us going there for a bit at the end. You will make fine additions to the Shogunate."
Then he smiled a wiry smile as he turned to Capo and Kindle. "And as your first official act: put on a great show for the audience. Your reputations as entertainers and as new honorary subordinates are on the line."

"Well thanks, big guy! I'm going to keep holding things down on the show, though. Capo and Kindle will be traded to you all, but the show must go on, as they say," VoiceMan responded, still breathing heavily from the lunge earlier.
"Gotta admit, though, I was hoping we'd win! I'm not like stars-for-eyes over there, but I would have liked to see the ratings that we'd get from having two Neo-Shogun Army officers help us on set."
"Your girls will be getting an invaluable experience, working for our Shogun! If Yasu were here, she'd explain that it's just as much a privilege as it is a responsibility," Lee encouraged him. "The Neo-Shogun Army's all about respecting yourself and your abilities!"
Showbizz raised her hands for the audience to quiet themselves, then nodded to Lee. "Working for that guy sounds like a great honor! That's why it's going to be just perfect seeing you in your new uniforms," she chuckled.
The two Voice employees looked at each other dubiously, then back to her, feeling as though she was probably hiding something. "How am I supposed to strip, anyways? I'm wearing dental floss and marshmallow cereal as it is, thanks to you," Capo grumbled.
"That's why I mentioned the uniforms! What better way to show off all of the features of your new uniforms than to have you guys peel them off in a full feature segment? We can sell it as too hot for TV and air it after the program finishes! Ooooo, it sounds good!" the host giggled, practically drooling.
"I'm not trying to start something, but I don't really want to do anything that's too extreme to be televised," Kindle sobbed.
The host waved off Kindle's concerns and rolled her starry eyes. "That's just a sell tag! I have to pay for censorship fees and so forth if you actually get naked, so make sure that if you bare it all, you don't really bare it all. Got it?" she explained, almost sounding as though she was scolding Kindle for suggesting that she might have to get naked. "It's like blackjack! As close to 21 without going over; that's the sweet spot!"
Lee and Arch took over explaining to Kindle and Capo what they ought to be doing in terms of registration procedures. In the mean time, Showbizz went over to talk with VoiceMan and DragonierMan. "You ought to thank me, huh? I just taught you how to make a real show that people'll line up out the door to see!" she boasted. "As for you, DragonierMan; you better be happy that I put together a foolproof event! I swear, you're pretty straight and narrow for an NS guy. A striptease is pretty old fashioned," she sighed. "And you're surrounded by all these girls and act like you don't even want to touch them! Geez, I thought the NS was going to be full of pervs. There goes that fantasy..."
Amazingly, she sounded genuinely disappointed at the fact that the shogun's army was not filled with perverts. "Anyways, whatever! The Kindle and Capo thing was a big enough twist that we ought to get good ratings out of all of this. Let's count our blessings and dish out the green. Your boss may have some kind of extra pay for you, dragon guy, so be sure to check the mission kiosk," she resolved, handing over both team leaders their cut. "One takes money and the other takes weapons... I guess that's organizational differences for you. I only accept payments in stardom, personally! That's how I got to be the starry, glitzy person I am today. Feel free to take notes!"
It seemed like Showbizz could talk all day if they'd let her... As such, VoiceMan excused himself politely before going to speak with his employees.

DragonierMan bowed a little after receiving his share of the prize. "Thank you. But, I was born to combat instead of showmanship. I make no excuses to that regard. And as for perversion, I was on duty. So perhaps you would care to join us later in a less official capacity?" he asked with a wink before moving on to Arch and Lee.
Suzume and Aya came down out of the bleachers and joined Drago as he went to speak to Arch and Lee. "We beat the competition and brought more subordinates into the fold. I say the Neo-Shogunate has shown its strength this day to the world. And my own power." He ended with a flexing of an arm. "How are you two holding up?" he inquired.

"Uh, unless you can improve my numbers in the weekly reports, I don't have any plans on hanging out with you any time soon. Nothing personal~" the host finished, skipping off to attend to other business. This likely suited DragonierMan fine, as he had his own acquaintances to get back to.
"Good job, earning us some more soldiers! I just wish I could have taken part in that last water sport thing... That was about as close as it got to a battle in all of this mess," Lee sighed. "I guess I should have known from the friendly feud part that we wouldn't get to do any fighting!"
"I'm doing fine personally, although I'm eager to change back into my clothes," Arch responded hesitantly. "I haven't had a chance yet since we had to tell Kindle and Capo where they'd be reporting! I wonder how they're going to react when they get their silly new names and uniforms from Yasu..."
"Boy, Dee's going to be super mad when she learns you had Drago between your legs!" Lee laughed, elbowing Arch once playfully at her ribs. The subordinate grew red at the innuendo and crossed her hands at her mostly naked lap.

Destin took the downtime to reshuffle his chip library programs and monitor his tracking programs that Magistrate and DragonierMan had set up throughout the Net so far. Beyond the occasional navi/virus fight that passed by, it was mostly quiet across the sections of the Net that had been explored and flagged. One or two of the darker Networks had yet to be explored, such as the glittering lights of NetVegas Net, an area known to him but never ventured due to him not having a navi before. Though once he had been to the city before on vacation. It was one of the more infamous areas of his homeland, Netopia, after all. This would make a good stomping ground to get some money for upgrading his navi. He had been lax in getting the funds these past months.
DragonierMan nodded at Arch's response. He was still clad in his own bathing suit and felt quite naked and exposed without his heavy armor. Then Lee made a jibe about him being "between [her] legs." He smiled inwardly about the innuendo. If only Lee knew about the things that had happened thus far between himself, Arch, and Dee over the course of the relationship.
"Dee has seen that stuff before," Drago remarked offhandedly. "But tell me Lee, what about yourself? I have only seen you briefly a few times and know little about you. What have you been up to since... when was it? That open meeting where you spelled out what the NS was and then tried to recruit?"

Lee looked taken back for a moment at the suggestion that Dee had already seen DragonierMan between her best friend's legs, then remembered that they were just making some saucy jokes. "Oh, ha ha! Well, uh, I've been doing patrols mostly. It's boooring stuff, nothing to fight but viruses. If there's anyone in need to help out there, I'm missing them somehow," she sighed. "I also fought in the Showbizz Generational Violence event! I beat a girl in the first round but lost to some huge Choina guy in the second. I'll get him back though, I swear it!"
"I'll be happy to skirt any further appearances on Showbizz's programs," Arch murmured.
"It's been a long time since the summit, though. I remember you looking a lot different back then! Was it your hair? No, that wasn't it," Lee mused; her memory often tended to fail her when it came to small details. "I thought you were pretty good looking at the time, actually, but now Dee's got her hands all over you! Well, there's more and more good looking guys in the Shogun's Army, thinking on it..."

Drago perked up his eyebrows at the mention of other good-looking guys in the army. Apparently he did not have the monopoly in looks, to his chagrin. "And who else has joined the NS? I haven't taken the time to loiter around the main camp and meet all the new recruits." He glanced over to Arch and jerked his head slightly in the direction of the changing booth. He saw that Arch's top wasn't concealing much. "You should change first. I can see that you are getting a little cold out here." His SPs giggled a little.

Arch crossed both arms across her chest, red faced and glaring. Seeming a little moody, she headed away from the gathering and back off the set.
"You don't really have to loiter to catch them. Some of them are pretty evident, even just watching the news! One of them's MachMan; he's a super powerful guy, too, on top of being handsome. Escort's hung out with him a bit but uh, he's wasted on her, if you get my drift," Lee sighed. The comment seemed a little strange, as Lee must either have a distinctly low opinion of Escort or know something else extraordinary about her. "Besides that there's uuuuh... I thought there were more, but maybe not. A lot of the soldiers have started to personalize themselves out of boredom, I guess, so sometimes it seems like there are more eligible guys than there really are."

"I see..." Drago said as he stroked his manly stubble. "This MachMan sounds interesting. I should meet him sometime." Aya cleared her throat and tapped Drago in the arm, pointing to his changing booth. "We should get going before they throw us out of here," she remarked as she swept her hand around the studio to show that they were already cleaning up. "Oh, right. Well, be seeing you General," Drago said with a wave, then disappeared behind the curtain to change.
A little while later he emerged fully clothed. "It has been fun showing off and all, but now its time to go." He gave a thumbs-up to Arch. "See you later when I become stronger... Oh, and give General Dee a kiss on the cheek for me," he ended in a smile before his SPs disappeared with him in triple beams of light.
