19 Team Girl Power + Zan 10

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to drive a massive fuck off monster of a tank? Let me tell you, it's pretty damn fun. For the first little while. But after the first few times you drive over whatever terrain in your way, or mow down a line of trees, it tended to lose its lustre.

It was cool for the first few hours, but days in advance, with nothing to entertain myself with at all besides the scenery? Yeah, no, it was mind numbingly boring. And because I was the only one brought along with the girls, and the only other fire bender besides Azula on the tank train, with driving apparently being 'beneath' a princess like her, I was the designated driver, constantly.

I couldn't even train since I was expected to constantly drive, and the only breaks I got being for food and to go to the toilet. And sleeping of course...though my sleep breaks were only fucking five hours.

After a few days of it, I was about at the limit of my patience.

But I suppose, I at least got a new ability out of it.

(Driving(Novice): Dexterity permanently increased by three.)

Dexterity was the hardest stat to train, so I guess it was decent, and once it went up, I'm assuming the dexterity increase would as well.

'Can't you like just take my gacha tokens and summon me a gameboy or something at least?' I griped mentally, slumped into the back of the drivers chair, one hand on the steering wheel while the other rubbed at my bored, sleepy eyes.

(Impossible. I, your system am a symbiotic existence. I become one with you my host, and the worlds themselves we visit. Every action you make has an opposite reaction because your existence is not natural in this world, disrupting the power of fate and destiny itself, one of the core concepts of all existence. From those reactions caused by you, power is generated through the echoes of fate and destiny being disrupted, and I take it in, becoming stronger, more powerful, allowing me to power my existence and the power that allows me to give you the abilities of a game character. Strictly speaking, this system is not a gaming system, but rather a small, yet potent source of creation that manifested as a game because of your subconscious desires. And because I, the system link myself to both you and the world itself, it means I can only draw from the worlds you have visited and which through you I have linked to. I am unable to get you even such a simple and low-tier item as a gaming console because of this.)

Interesting, very interesting. It didn't solve my problem though. With a loud groan, I flopped face first onto the steering wheel and let loose my frustration through stupid, incoherent grumbles.

Really, all I could do was spend my time day dreaming. A particular favourite of mine was imagining a foursome with Ty Lee, Suki and Jin. The voluptuous and perky acrobat that could contort her body in all manner of ways, the kind, yet mature and sisterly tomboy cuteness of the Kyoshi Warrior, and the plump softness of a bodacious, thicc down to earth normal girl.

And out of all the girls in the setting, the ones that came with the least baggage by far. Which was honestly one of the most tempting prospects beyond liking their appearances and personalities. Baggage is tiring to deal with, if I didn't have a problem with baggage, I'd be trying to get balls deep in Azula frequently. But I hate drama man, and she is nothing but drama. No matter how fun it would be to send Fire Crotch Shitzai a picture of his prodigy of an heir mounted on my cock with her eyes rolled into the back of her head, completely despoiled and taken from his influence.

It was times like these, that despite fire bending being the most badass type of bending, that I regretted my beginning choices. Sure, I at least got to spend some time with Ty Lee, and she was fun to be around and talk to, but if I chose Earth Bender, I could probably have gotten a Ba Sing Se beginning option, and from there I would have had an easy street to find and woo Jin. Quite frankly, with how much time had passed, I'd probably have been balls deep in her by now

Hell, with the amount of time I've been here, I could have mastered Earth Bending, probably. And there were plenty of mooks to kick around in Ba Sing Se to get experience from. And becoming the Earth King would be piss easy honestly. I could be sitting on a throne right now, as king within Ba Sing Se, and bouncing Jin up and down on my cock.

At the very least I'd have had no qualms about abusing the Dai Lee and use them for pure experience points.

"It's a long, long way to Ba Sing Se," I began singing to myself as a certain song came to mind while I was thinking about a certain girl from Ba Sing Se, "But the girls in the city, they look so prettttyyy."

I heard the door the door to the cockpit opening, but I didn't bother turning around, there was only one who came to visit me in here after all, and not just to bark orders at me, "They kiss so sweeeet," I continued, "You've really gotta meet, the girls of Ba Sing Se."

A pair of arms wrapped around my shoulders over the drivers chair I was sitting on, and I felt a pair of large, round and soft weights rest atop my head, "I'm not from Ba Sing Se," Ty Lee commented with a giggle, "You're gonna make me jealous like this, thinking of all these different girls when I'm right here."

"Well it can't be helped," I leaned back into her arms, they nice and soft, and she smelled great, "I'm going crazy with boredom, I'm this close to busting out of this thing and infiltrating Ba Sing Se to find myself some nice earth kingdom girls to have fun with."

"Oh, poor baby Zan," she teased, setting her chin on my head, "Has the mean Azula's orders got you that frustrated? Someone needs a hug."

"All I'm saying is Azula is lucky you're here, or I would have left already, I've got no interest in hunting the Avatar, he's just some little kid in way over his had, he's no real threat," I replied, making sure to downplay Aang. Ty Lee wouldn't tell Azula about me not caring about her mission, but she could be a bit loose lipped on some details, like my opinion on Aang himself, so if that got back to her it might just make her underestimate him a bit and get her ass kicked, "I wouldn't say no to a hug from you though."

A moment after I said that, she retracted her arms from around my neck and in one smooth motion, seamlessly flipped over the back of the seat and my head to land softly in my lap, her arms winding around my neck and pressing herself up against me in a hug, her head tucked under my chin, "Well here you go then~" she giggled.

I looked down at my chest to see her chocolate eyes looking up at me and a little grin on her face, and wrapped my arm around here, while keeping the other on the steering wheel. I couldn't resist smiling back down at her, "Well that was unexpected, but not at all unwelcome."

She reached up and flicked my nose, "The girls of Ba Sing Se have got nothing on me, and don't you forget it."

"Of course they don't, why you think I said 'if' you weren't here," I pointed out with a grin, "You're my favourite after all."

"That's good then, since I've taken a bit of a liking to you myself." Ty Lee smirked at me.

(Gained 1 Affection with Ty Lee.)

Over the past week in New Ozai and the few days in this tank train, my relationship status with the girls had progressed. Miniscule amounts in Mai's case, and just a small amount with Azula. But my reputation and affection with Ty Lee had steadily and continuously progressed.

And that wasn't the only thing that progressed.

(The Acrobatic Noble, Ty Lee – Level 48)

(Reputation: 36/100)

(Affection: 42/100)

Reputation it seemed, was a measurement of more or less, how much a person respected me, while Affection was of fond feelings and how they had come to care about me, how much I meant to them. Ty Lee was a hard girl to impress really, since she was so skilled and able herself. Most of her reputation with me didn't come from my abilities as a fighter or power, but more how seemed to live my life I think and well, how I stood up to Azula, the girl who'd been terrorizing her since childhood, who even in the future would have had nightmares about her even as a full grown woman while the deranged Azula was locked up and imprisoned. And much of her affection was coming from the attention I gave her. Because of her past, and the family she grew up with, having six identical sisters. She wanted someone to truly see and care for who she was alone. Someone that could see her own uniqueness.

And Ty Lee was constantly practising with her flexibility and agility. Azula probably would be practising as well, if it weren't for our enclosed spaces and how busy she had been over the week prior to us leaving New Ozai.

"But wow," she whistled, unwinding one arm from around my neck to feel up my chest, "I knew you had big muscles with how much you train shirtless, but they're really rigid and hard to."

If she kept that up, they wouldn't be the only hard thing on me.

"Well I do train a lot, it's like the only interesting I've had to do lately beyond talking to you." I replied with a shrug. That was one other good thing about the mind of a game character that I had. When I wanted to do something, as long as I didn't want want to laze around, the heavy lazy weight that many times weighed people down and made it so they couldn't work up the energy to do anything, was never truly present. It made me a real go getter type of person. I could only be lazy now, if I waned to be. And it was quite amazing for helping me focus on my training.

"That's sweet, but also kind of sad," Ty Lee frowned, "Why are you honestly sticking around? You don't care for the war at all from what I can tell, and you've made it clear you have no interest in hunting the avatar, not to mention you've made it apparent you aren't afraid of Azula, and you're getting frustrated like this. The only reason you said before was to see some of Azula's fire bending, but I don't think you really need it honestly, I've been watching you train, and the only person I've seen better than you are Fire Bending is Azula herself, and not by much, plus you even fight way differently than her."

All very true. The way Azula used her fire bending to fight was completely different from me. I preferred rapid and powerful attacks, while she preferred chi saving, precise and incredibly quick attacks. I'd noticed her preferred method was shaping her blue flames along the length of her arms and two fingers, to compress the flames into superheated and compressed flame blades that could even slice a wooden building in half like a hot knife through butter.

I sighed, "Honestly? There's two reasons," I shrugged, "One, I've not really decided what I want to do right now, so this is a good as anything to do in the meanwhile, or at leat it was before I got stuck driving this thing around and can't get time to train. And the second is obviously you."

Ty Lee blinked, "..Me?" she repeated, looking confused, "I thought you were kidding about that and just flirting."

"Oh I was definitely flirting, you're a total babe after all," I grinned at her as I answered, "But I do like you. We've not exactly got a lot in common, but I like you and I like being around you. And you don't need to have things in common with someone to enjoy being around them."

"Oh.." she uttered, mouth forming into an 'o' shape, "Well...that's good I guess."

"You sound like it isn't." I pointed out.

"No, no!" she quickly rose her arms and waved them in denial, "It's just that I really wasn't expecting you to actually like actually like me beyond the obvious reasons." she cast a glance at her large bosom pressed up against my chest with how close we're sitting.

I wrapped my arms around her hips and pulled her into me tightly, "Oh, you're gorgeous and with an amazing body," I shamelessly agreed, "But I like you as well, even if you weren't stacked I'd vastly prefer you to any other girl I've met. You're nice, and fun, you're easy to get along with. I could go on and on, but I like being around you. I wouldn't just tell my secrets to anyone you know."

Well except the thing about being reborn and the true origin of my powers. That's going with me to the grave, or just never being brought up because there's plenty of ways open on the path to immortality for me now.

"Huh," Ty Lee slumped into me, resting her head on my chest, and when I looked down, I could see her cheeks blazing red, "..I've never really had anyone that I think really did like being around me. Most guys are only interested in my body, and even Azula and Mai who are my closest friends think I'm annoying. Circus Freak they liked to whisper behind my back before we went our separate ways, it was one of the reasons I actually did run away to join the circus."

Huh, I didn't know that. I remember Zuko calling her a circus freak once during the Ember Island episode, but I just assumed that was because..she actually was part of a circus. But then, unless Zuko asked her about that, then he wouldn't know, since he was banished into exile to look for Aang when she ran away from him.

"Trust me, you're far from annoying," I took one hand off of her waist and pat her gently on the head, "I'm used to dealing with annoying people. And let me tell you, Azula and Mai? Now they're annoying, you, not so much."

Ty Lee giggled softly, but didn't say anything, and just nuzzled her head against my chest. A comfortable silence fell between us then, only disrupted the sound of the train tank moving.
