Chapter 76: Blitzwolfer vs Mimic

Lois helped James to get one of the Turbines out of the back of the Humvee. Jasmine noticed and stepped closer. "Do you need help with that?" she asked. 

"I should be fine," James replied, "but it would be great if one of you could watch my back," he added. He knew zombies while weak still are dangerous. 

Before anyone could respond, Yuriko raised Saya's hand. "Saya wants to," she volunteered with a mischievous smile.

"Mum!" Saya exclaimed, her face turning bright red.

Yuriko leaned in close to her daughter and whispered, "He has competition, so you have to do your best." Yuriko only wanted the best for her daughter. 

Saya nodded, her blush deepening. Yuriko was right. James might be a bit of a womanizer, but he was also very popular among them.

"I can come too, Danna-sama," Saeko offered.

"Okay, let's do this," James replied.

James carried the Turbine in his hand to the shed. He knew there was a bus part here only however he thought it did not hurt to see it. Also, it could be a nice addition to the Humvee, if they could make it fit. James placed down the Turbine and turned it on. The turbine started to spin and generate electricity. Blue sparks could be seen.

"This does not seem that safe," Saya remarked. She saw the Turbine going crazy. It looked like a crazy science experiment. 

"Danna-sama, are you sure about it?" Sakeo asked. She was worried about James`s safety. 

"The turbine?" James asked. Suddenly the door opened. "It has worked," James said. Saya and Saeko nodded. 

James looked inside the shed and saw a black box in the middle. He thought that was strange. All of a sudden there was a black mist covering the box and it transformed. James saw a creature with a large, gaping maw filled with sharp, glowing blue teeth. It had a dark and leathery skin covered in spines and ridges. Its limbs were muscular and powerful, ending in clawed hands. "A Mimic," James said as he opened the faceplate of the Ultimatrix. He saw a silhouette of a wolf-like alien. 

The tentacles on the Mimic's back launched towards James and grabbed him by the waist. It immediately reeled him in. "James," they both said at the same time. Saeko held slasher and ran towards James. While Saya fired her Ray Gun below James, aiming for the creature's feet. 

James slammed down the faceplate. His body was engulfed in a brilliant, pulsating light. The air crackled with energy. James' body distorted, his limbs elongated. In a surge of radiant energy, James` features reshape, and his form took on a large bushy tail. He had three sharp claws on each foot and hand. His head changed into a wolf, with fanged canines. His hair was longer and his ears pointed upwards. His eyes were green. The Ulitmartix symbol appeared on his stomach. "Blitzwolfer," Blitzwolfer shouted. 

"Sonic Howls," Blitzwolfer said as he opened his quad-hinged muzzle, and emitted a powerful, green, ultrasonic howl at Mimic. The Mimic got hit and let Blitzwolfer go who dropped to the ground. The energy wave from the Ray Gun hit the Mimic feet causing him to stumble back. Saeko slashed his arm with Slasher. 

"Saeko, jump back! Let's fight him in the open," Blitzwolfer commanded. "Saya, give us covering fire," he added urgently.

Saeko nodded and sprang backward, creating space. Saya aimed her Ray Gun and fired several shots. The red beams struck the Mimic, causing it to stumble momentarily. However, the creature quickly recovered and charged toward them.

Blitzwolfer leaped forward to intercept, blocking the Mimic's path. The two looked at each other. Blitzwolfer could see the Mimic's, glowing blue maw. The Mimic charged at Blitzwolfer. 

Blitzwolfer dodged the Mimic's initial lunge, maneuvering to draw the creature out in the open. 

Jasmine, Lois, Rei, Shizuka and Yuriko all saw the black creature. They saw Blitzwolfer as well.

"Another cute doggy, I want to pet," Shizuka said. 

"Maybe later, let's go and help James," Lois said as she aimed her M4W, her eyes narrowing in. She squeezed the trigger. Rei, standing beside her, mirrored her actions, and both began firing at the Mimic. The bursts of gunfire filled the air. Yuriko and Jasmine quickly joined in, raising their weapons and adding to the barrage. Bullets peppered the Mimic, striking its tough hide and causing it to snarl in rage. The concentrated fire from all directions momentarily halted its advance, each impact forcing the monstrous creature to stagger. 

The Mimic opened its mouth. "Sonic Howls," Blitzwolfer said as he opened his quad-hinged muzzle, and emitted a powerful, green, ultrasonic howl at Mimic. The Mimic got hit in the maw and it made a terrifying noise. The blue glow disappeared as the Mimic fell to his knees and died. 

Blitzwolfer transformed back into James. "Are you okay?" Yuriko asked.

"I'm fine," James replied, shaking off any lingering tension. "Saya, Saeko, are you both okay?" James asked. 

"We're fine, Danna-sama," Saeko responded. Saya nodded in agreement.

"I missed my chance to pet the cute doggie again," Shizuka pouted. 

"There will be more chances," Lois teased.

"What was that thing?" Rei asked.

"A Mimic," James explained. "Another one of those special boss zombies, like the Mangler we just fought," he added. 

"This place is crawling with those special ones," Jasmine remarked.

"Let's keep moving," Saya urged. She did not want to be in this creepy place for much longer. 

"Did we get what we needed from the shed?" Yuriko inquired.

James thought. "Actually no, I will have a quick check," James replied. 

"I will go with you Danna-sama," Saeko said. 

"Okay, Rei, is it okay for Saeko to sit with me on the bike?" James asked.

"Sure," Rei replied. Rei did not mind. She knew she had to share James. 

"Everyone else prepare, to leave, we will be back soon," James stated. 

They all nodded. James and Saeko walked back into the shed. He looked inside and there was still no part for the bus. However there was something golden on the floor. He walked to it and saw a long golden rope. He thought that was strange. 

"Careful Danna-sama," Saeko said. 

"I will but this looks interesting," James replied as he picked up the rope. "Lasso of Submission," James said. He thought this was a DC weapon, why was this here. 

"Submission?" Saeko asked.

"Yes, it has the power to compel obedience and even love of the wielder in those it ensnares," James explained. 

"Try it on me Danna-sama," Saeko said. She had a determined look.

"Okay," James replied. He wondered what result he would get. 

James threw the Lasso of Submission over Saeko. 

Saeko moaned. Her cheeks became flushed. "Danna-sama, you are so naughty," Saeko said.

"Do you feel any different?" James asked.

"No Danna-sama," Saeko said.

James thought her will must be very strong. He looked at her rubbing her tights, her cheeks were red. There was hunger on her face. He thought maybe yes but no.

"My life is for you Danna-sama," Saeko stated. James smiled and took the Lasso off her. 

"I love you too," James replied as they looked at each other. Saeko leaned in, her eyes meeting James's with a mixture of intensity and affection. She closed the distance between them, her lips gently pressing against his in a kiss. Their lips locked. Saeko felt a rush of warmth as James` lips moved softly against his. The kiss deepened, and James`tongue brushed against her lips, seeking entry. Saeko parted his lips, allowing his tongue to explore her mouth. Saeko's hands moved to the back of James's neck, pulling him closer as their tongues danced together. They kissed for a minute until James pulled away.

James smiled. "You are a naughty girl, I might have punished you for that," James joked. 

"I await your punishment Dana-sama," Saeko teased. 

They both left the shed. James had the Lasso of Submission in his hand. He wrapped it around his pocket for now. 

He saw the rest had already packed up and sat in the Humvee. James and Saeko got on the pink bike. They both put their helmets on. Saeko wrapped her arms around his waist. James singled to Shizuka to follow him. 

The bus started to horn. "All board," Ted said. The bus left and James and Shizuka followed.
