Chapter 86: Electric Trap

"Turn off?" Saya asked.

"Do these zombies get attracted by the light?" Rei inquired.

"No, the reason we need to turn it off is for the quest. We need it to amplify the tower," James explained.

"Wouldn't we need power for that?" Rei questioned further.

"Normally, yes, but we'll use a different technique involving the jet gun, the meteorite, and our electric friend who disappeared," James responded.

"Okay, Danna-sama. That electric monster does look dangerous," Saeko warned.

"We do have James here," Jasmine said confidently, touching her Lasso of Submission and smiling warmly.

"We will get out of this place soon. We would need two, maybe three, things that could be useful," James declared. He walked to the right and saw the shutter was now open. "We can go from here," he said, motioning toward the opening. He jumped down. 

James offered his hand to Jasmine, who smiled appreciatively. "Such a gentleman," she replied, taking his hand. James felt the softness of her touch as he helped her down. Jasmine's smile widened as she landed gracefully like a princess. 

Saeko, Rei, and Saya exchanged glances. "Anyone else need help?" James offered, looking at the rest of the group.

"No," they said simultaneously. They all smiled at each other. Saeko and Rei jumped off the ledge effortlessly. Saya followed but stumbled slightly. She pitched forward, but James caught her. His hands touched her large breast. Saya moaned softly in surprise.

"Careful," James said, helping her to her feet.

"You pervert," Saya muttered, blushing as she stood. Rei and Saeko grinned, clearly amused. Saya walked up the stairs behind Jasmine, casting a quick glance at James. He smiled, thinking she was nice. 

James walked up and saw a workbench with blueprints scattered on the wall. "Another bench," Rei commented, inspecting the plans.

"Looks like something with electricity, a trap," Saya observed, noting the battery and the lightning symbol on the blueprints.

"It's the electric trap. We'll need the power turbine for it," James explained.

"Like the turret," Jasmine remarked. 

"The battery is here," Saeko said, bringing it from the ground where it was just there and placing it on the bench.

Next to the bench, James spotted a long metal plate. "That's the second part we need," he said, lifting it and setting it on the bench.

"We're going to need one more part," Saya noted.

"The rule of three," Rei added.

James walked up to a shattered window where he saw it. He carefully picked up a shard of TV glass and brought it down to the bench. "Last part," he announced, placing it with the other parts.

There was a bright light. The girls looked away. "Again," Jasmine said. 

"I should get glasses," Saeko said. 

There was the sound of crafting, sawing and then it all stopped. "Glasses are not a bad idea," James chuckled. He walked over to see the electric trap which had a big antenna and a large ball. James picked it up. There was another bright light.

Saeko was about to take another one. "We just need two," James said.

"That would save space," Rei replied. 

"The electric trap is good, however the turret will be more useful to us," James replied. 

"I can see that however traps are sneaky and can catch people off guard," Saeko said. 

"That is true," James responded. "Let's leave," James added. 

James and Sakeo carried the electric trap up the stairs. They walked around and saw there was a gap. James threw the electric trap over. "Should you not be more gentle?" Rei asked. 

"It can handle it," James replied. 

Saeko then threw the electric trap which she was holding. "Danna-sama is right," Saeko added.

"You know after you throw it," Saya remarked. Saeko smiled back as she jumped over. 

Rei jumped as well. "Careful Saya," Saeko teased. 

"I am," Saya replied. 

"I can carry you over," James offered. 

"No," Saya responded as she jumped over. She landed perfectly. 

Jasmine jumped over. "This reminds me of our first time meeting," Jasmine replied.

James jumped over. "Jumping through the rooftops," James replied. He added, "We should do it more."

"You won't be able to keep up," Jasmine teased. 

James smiled. "We will see, let's go," James said. They picked up the traps and walked down the stairs on the other side. James noted there was no Tombstone. He thought that was strange. That perk was pretty much a second life and it's not here. He did think back to what Quick Revive does as well. He never got to the bottom of it. 

He saw there was a pile of wire on top of the barrels. He smiled and grabbed it. "I think we are all done here," James said. 

"Finally, this place was getting creepy," Rei commented. 

"We are getting close but we may need to do some driving around back round here," James warned. 

The girls groaned. "But it will be quick and we have the car and bike," James added. 

"Still it sounds horrible," Saya added. 

"How are we leaving, Danna-sama?" Saeko asked. 

"Through that hole in the wall," James replied, pointing to the gap.

"More parkour," Saya muttered.

They all approached the edge. They saw the jump they needed to make. They first needed to jump on the roof of the van and then to the ground. Saeko and James threw the electric trap. With grace and agility, Saeko jumped down, landing effortlessly. Jasmine followed. She made the jump look easy. Saya took a more cautious approach, descending one step at a time. James smiled, admiring her carefulness.

"Let's go," he said to Rei. Without warning, he scooped her up in a princess carry.

"Hey," Rei protested softly, but she wrapped her arms around his neck as he jumped down with her in his arms.

Yuriko and Lois watched the scene unfold. "I missed my opportunity to be carried," Lois remarked with a playful pout.

"He is strong," Yuriko replied.

Shizuka, waking from her slumber, yawned and looked through the window. "He is strong," she echoed, her voice still heavy with sleep. She smiled thinking about how he held her when they had their time together.

James set Rei down gently once they reached the ground. "Everyone okay?" he asked.

"We're good," Saeko responded, picking up the electric trap

Lois and Yuriko approached them. Lois picked up the electric trap. "Another two? Lois asked.

"Yes, it's an electric trap," Saya replied. 

"We need the turbine," Jasmine added.

"Okay lets load it up," Lois replied. 

"My turn on the bike," Rei said. The other girls nodded. 

They loaded the electric trap on the humvee. The humvee trunk was now filled with everything. The Double Tap machine was lying on top of the humvee. It looked ridiculous but it worked. 

"Okay, follow me," James said. Lois took the wheel of the humvee. Saya, Jasmine and Saeko got in. Shizuka sent a flying kiss to James. 

James and Rei got on the bike. Rei pressed her body against James`s body. She whispered, "Don't forget me." 

"I will never," James replied as he started the engine and left into the fog.
