Chapter 292

After hearing Aida's capabilities they tried to comprehend how it was possible. Almost all the dolls in the storage have been activated. There are now two hundred workers in the city and a legion of sentries.

To control so many at once, and process their actions would require a substantial amount of power. Even Zack has to focus to connect to so many minds at once. The dolls are inactive till powered by the core, but Aida arrived at full power.

After Wesley learned she was an AI he was examining her closely. Wesely saw no creases were indicating a power box, and the mystery was gnawing at him.

"What's your power source?" Wesley investigated.

"Only the master can see." Aida smiled at Zack.

"It's okay," Zack replied.

"Okay," Aida said as she started undressing.

"On second thought let's wait till later," Zack awkwardly waved at the audience.

"They are waiting for your arrival," Aida told Wesley.

"Thank you," Wesley replied before taking off.

While Wesley was leaving they passed the estate, and Olivia overheard someone addressing her master. After a brief introduction, Oliva had no complaints about sharing her duties. Aida followed her into the estate as they talked about the daily routine, and the proper attire to present themselves to master.

"It's a good thing you made all those uniforms," Kaya told Destiny.

"Gonna pretend like you didn't have one made?" Ren teased.

'You bitch.' Kaya clenched her fist.

"Wanna go get something to drink?"Kaya asked Elizabeth.

"I got some time to spare," Elizabeth replied.

While walking away Kaya looked over her shoulder taunting Ren with childish faces. It's been a struggle to avoid drinking and a low blow by Kaya, but Ren just smirked.

It was a major improvement to Kaya's behavior that she could counter without overreacting. Ren was getting tired of others treating her differently and welcomed the attitude.

"After the baby is born we are celebrating." Ren declared while pulling Zack in.

"I already expected as much." Zack felt on her belly from the headlock making Ren blush.

"That's adorable." Lilith teased Ren.

"Let them be." Dyna smiled at Lilith while taking her hand.

Looking down at Dyna she found it difficult to ignore the request. Lilith lifted her chin as they kissed passionately.

"Just this once," Lilith told Dyna.

Lilith noticed Yuki watching them, and walked up with Dyna.

"Are you jealous?" Lilith caressed Yuki's cheek.

"No, I just thought it was cute." Yuki smiled while grabbing her hand.

"Are you leaving tonight?" Lixue asked Zack.

"Not sure yet. It depends on if I can sleep or not." Zack replied as Ren released him.

"Who's going with you?" Lixue investigated.

"Kaya, and Octavia for sure." Zack replied.

Hearing this Yu was fidgeting nearby trying to contain her desire to ask. After the last trip, Yu assumed only two people could go at a time, but knew that wasn't the case.

"Traveling the swamp on foot can be difficult, and the brush is very dense. I could use a recon team, but I don't know who could pull that off." Zack announced.

"I'm good at recon." Amy flew in front of Zack with an eager look.

"Me too!" Yu shouted while jumping on Zack's back.

"I only brought it up cause I need to return home for a little, but wanted some escorts," Lixue stated.

"Something wrong?" Zack investigated.

"I just want a little company. Having someone around that isn't trying to suck up would be nice." Lixue explained.

"I've got some time to spare," Lilith told Lixue.

"Could I go to?" Dyna requested.

"That's fine with me, but we need to leave soon," Lixue stated.

"Can I have him for a second?" Lilith asked Yu.

Yu nodded before jumping off his back and resuming her talk with Amy. Lilith embraced Zack, and right behind her went Dyna. The last time Zack left before the people could see him. His concern was a long goodbye would result in him staying, but they wouldn't allow him to get away so easily this time.

"You be careful on the road," Lilith told Zack.

"You too." Zack smiled.

After the goodbyes, they were off to get ready for the journey. Zack escorted them to the array and when Ericka approached. While they were talking about tomorrow's journey Amy and Yu rushed ahead to ensure their families knew.

"Wheres Cynthia?" Zack asked.

"She was talking with her sister when I snuck off," Ericka replied.

"You two still butting heads?" Zack investigated.

"Only when she gets in the way of you." Ericka casually grabbed his arm.

"You know she wouldn't do that if you just behaved in public," Zack stated.

"You know how I am about rules," Ericka smirked.

"I still think that's an excuse for the extra attention." Zack teased while seizing her hip.

"You're getting a lot faster." Ericka waved at the glowing eyes in the tree.

"I can't take my eye off you for a minute." Cynthia sighed while dropping behind Zack.

"This routine is starting to affect our time together," Zack said while embracing Cynthia.

"I've always watched over you, but with her around it not so easy," Cynthia replied.

"Don't worry about Ericka. She may act out a little every now, and then, but she's a good person." Zack told Cynthia.

"I c-can admit that I push her sometimes, but it has a purpose. If you wanna join his adventures you have to be battle-ready." Ericka muttered.

"I can handle myself." Cynthia declared crossing her arms.

"A trip with you two would be fun, but you don't leave the city often," Zack stated.

"We've never been separated for long, but I'll see how she feels about it." Cynthia took off to find her sister.

They continued walking to Ericka's house, and once they were inside Zack lingered in the front room. While Ericka was getting together a bag for the trip Felicity appeared with a ratatoskr at her side.

Her name is Kurumi, and she has short chestnut hair with white tips. Kurumi didn't spend much time in the village due to her work, but she was taking a short vacation.

Kurumi stretched causing her shirt to ride high up on her thighs. She glanced at Zack to see if he was watching, but his eyes are locked onto Felicity. Kurumi smirked walking out onto the balcony to give them some space.

Felicity was wearing tiny white shorts and a new top from Destiny. The top had little shoulder straps, hung low exposing the little cleavage, and the bottom stopped a little above her belly button.

'She's so tiny, but her thighs are so thick. Is it from the muscles she uses to bounce around?'
