The two Priestesses fell down through the portal and laded on a hard surface and got kinda dazed as they got up and saw... they were in some sort of space ship. John asked "Um... So this is where Janus is Chad?" John looked and saw two humanoids... Some long white haired woman and Kyo? John asked "Kyo what are you doing here?"
Kyo said "Well... I guess I should explain a little... Earlier I was explaining to Kathy and Martha that some Aliens had dropped a handy reality altering remote. That was around the same time you became a priestess and the aliens came back for it and beamed it up... along with me who had picked up the remote."
Chad was sensing Janus around and muttered "...this should've been around where Janus..." then snapped again "Wait! Are the gods ALIENS!?!"
Kyo said "Not aliens... just Artifical Intelligence... running off alien tech..."
John said "Seriously Silky can tell Amaterasu is a goddess, and she's been in the god business for awhile."
Kyo asked "Would she? What if the aliens were here for a long time... long enough that people saw their effects and mythologized them?"
Chad still kinda broken was laughing and said "So all of humanity are guinea pigs?"
Kyo said "No... It's closer to symbiosis. Termi here can give you the rundown."
The white haired woman gave a monotone "Understood, I am Termi. A terminal designed for unaltered humans to interact with the god A.I. programs. Preparing to give explanation... This ship is energy harvester 616, used to gather the energy source belief to combat entropy."
Kyo said "I'll explain that thing since they seem to have glossy eyes right now. Basically how you turn belief into some useable energy is with space science magic. You can't understand the technology behind most of this stuff so you just kinda have to trust them on that point."
John sighed and said "Fine so alien is using humanity for an energy resource... Why are you even doing this priestess thing?"
Termi said "Several intergalactic laws, and that belief is a lot harder to extract when under the boot of martial law. Besides this is a benefit for humanity as giving us an energy you cannot use we bestow blessings which should advance your society exponentially faster."
Chad said "Whatever, Whether it was gods or hyper advanced aliens. I just came here to get my balls back- Janus wha?"
John was confused for a second until the voice of Chronos spoke to John directly "Ah, my priestess the second one to find your god. A big feat considering Chad there can make portals anywhere."
John asked "Chronos? Why are you talking to me now? Why were you so silent back in those months when I needed guidance?"
Chronos spoke "Simple. Direct communication over an incredibly long distance costs a lot of energy. I needed to be conservative after having you and lead you subtly. Of course here where I'm basically the entire ship with the rest of the gods I'm free to talk to you. You can thank Kyo for using Rogue to guide you back. I really didn't know much about your social circle."
John angrily said "I'm still recovering from those months of non-stop work! You could've given me a few minutes to think!"
Chronos spoke to her "And I'm sorry. From all those rumors I'm getting a decent flow of belief again. Just try setting up a few shrines here and there if you could. Would help remind people to pray."
"What do you mean you can't turn me back?!?" Yelled out Chad... right Chad was having another chat with her god...
John asked "Wait... even with all this magi-tech you can't turn us back to guys?"
Termi said "Basically your forms became like that after an influx of god energy fused with your entities. Said energy turned your bodies female and keeps them that way. Your own bodies generate some of their own god energy as well. It's like trying to unboil an egg, now that your bodies are cooked to perfection we have no way to make you raw again."
John looked to Kyo and asked "And what are you doing with them anyways?"
Kyo said "Well I gave some insights to the aliens considering there are a bunch of priestesses around where I lived. Already knew about their existence... and they give me some tech to play with like their fun little reality altering remote."
Chad sighed to herself and put her back against a wall and asked to herself "What am I going to do?"
John said "If you want some space from your family now... I kinda get it, but you can't stay here or some random place. If you want you can come to my house for the night."
Chad looked up to John and said "I guess that may be a good idea... I'm not sure i can really face dad like this... and Zoe had this weird look in her eyes."
John thought for a second and asked "Hey Termi, Do you think you could get Silky to get near my house? I think a priestess get together could help us all."
Termi said "It is possible. I will contact Amaterasu."
In John's room John managed to get something appropriate for Chad to wear... although the clothes were pretty loose. Silky was walking up to John's room and the sleepover should be ready.
