Chapter 13: Developing a Rescue Plan..Hopefully.
As Luna was getting adjusted to the fact she somehow supernaturally spawned a perfect and near-identical body as her own;Saruna was indeed her "mirror" of sorts. Fafir had the two equally height young women sit on the large bed, he stroked his grey beard and pondered exactly what were the effects of the ALIAS-17,000 machine and Luna's Aether power.
"Very..precarious situation we're in hmm my dears? Although, it's not too bad for me.I now have two lovely ladies to attend to whenever I so well please. As for you two. The same can be said as well hehe." Fafir said as he sat in his comfy red chair. The deity crossed his legs and wondered mindlessly into his own little world. It was at this moment from a nearby corner peeking into their room and eavesdropping on their conversation,Quronessa knew it was time to strike the iron while it was hot.
The woman dusted herself off and fixed her messy hair. She walked in and had her fists balled up the moment she saw Luna. "Stay calm,you'll get your chance to make this purple cretin suffer. As for the curly-haired one. Keep her in the dark, who knows what Fafir will do to me if she got hurt." The woman thought as she walked ever-so-quietly to the door of her lord. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!, These three loud knocks awoke Fafir out of his trance of sorts, Luna and Saruna just laid on the bed tired from all the mayhem they caused. Fafir groaned as he got up and slowly walked to the door. He spoke with a dissatisfied and muffled tone due to the material the door was made out of.
"Whom disturbs the Lord of Beasts:The Beasts of Ancients,The King of the Neotic Gods and soon-to-be LORD OF ALL OF THE NEOTIC UNIVERSE!!!" The man so arrogantly shouted. His voice shook Quronessa and the very building, it's almost as his voice was booming. The commander caught her bearings and began to speak. "M..my dear Lord Fafir, it is I Commander Quronessa and..admittedly my lord,I have felt a very strange distrubance as of lately. That girl or should I say THING..i..is.." Before she could finish her sentence,Fafir opened the door and at a blinding speed swept the stumbling fool up by her face and held her to the nearest wall.
Shocked and petrified by her lord's mighty strength, the woman had absolutely no clue what to due,she already was humiliated by Luna twice and soiled herself just added on another layer. What was even more insulting was the beatdown she was dealt only a few hours earlier. As she gradually opened her eyes and looked at Fafir something snapped.
"M..my Lord..F..Fafir please!! I..If you kill me than you will be losing your only capable commander! I..I meant no offense towards such a being as you. You are the mightiest,holiest and most honourable of all the Neotic Gods; surely even Lady Nea is not worthy of one such as you..i..i..I am not worthy of your presence,please forgive my trespasses." The woman said trying her best to be free from Fafir's grasp. For being alive for over one billion years, it didn't come with nothing,Fafir was no fool,Quronessa's pathetic and desperate plea only angered him further.
He removed his hand from her face and stop squishing her face and transitioned to choking her in a matter of seconds,only then did Luna rush to Quronessa's aid. "Fafir stop!! Look I hate her as much as you do,but ya can't just kill her! She hasn't even done anything to offend you!!" Luna yelled. Fafir looked at his former enemy and petted her on the head,he dropped the worn and torn commander and left her to Luna.
"Very well my dear amethyst-colored beauty,if the Queen of the Fafir Order wishes to keep this..this TRIPE alive than so be it,be warn though my dear. Three strikes is all she has, if she fails you or me or even Saruna in any and I mean ANY shape, fashion and or form, than OFF with her head. The body will be fed to Numanag." Fafir said closing the door behind Luna.
At this point Luna just felt pity for the poor girl,to her she was no longer her captor, nor a fearless commander,but now a joke, a fraud,a sham,a hoax,a shadow of her former self. To Luna she was just a girl and that's all she'll ever be. Luna cautiously walked over to a heaving and coughing Quronessa. She slowly regained her breath. The broken woman looked at Luna and was disgusted by her. Almost as a man is disgusted by a heinous criminal act, Quronessa reluctantly had to accept Luna's help. One arm loosely hooked around the purple girl's neck and the other dangling,Luna dragged the weary girl all the way to her quarters to rest. Admittedly, Luna for the first time in a while had genuine hate and disgust towards someone, however what she was taught and deeply felt inside overpowered pure unadulterated hatred. The kindness in her heart won this day. Something was different though this time.
The relationship between Quronessa and Luna never got anywhere except captor and captive, prisoner and officer, pooper scooper and commander. All of this was completely changed when Luna was deemed queen. As she placed the weary woman on her bed, the girl simply began to walk out but stop for a moment. She looked at Quronessa and walked away.
As she returned back to her room. Luna rested in her black dress and removed her black heels. She laid in the bed next to Saruna. As she caresses her fingers into the girl's dark curly hair,she smiles and thinks of Gala, the way her own hair felt. So smooth, so clean and even so soft. Luna hugged Saruna and promised herself one day she and Saruna would be free. "Just when?" She thought.
The girl closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Meanwhile back at the Hidden Realm base. Galastrom is back on her feet and stronger than ever. Standing at four feet and five inches tall,this little woman had gained some noticeable muscle development. Her back showed the most progress as well with her arms. Now bulging with traces of veins and muscles here and there. She and the rest of the crew trianed for what could've been months or even mere weeks. All they known cohesively was that Luna needed to be saved.
"Alrighty hehe, that's it for training today girls and guys. Well mostly girls though since there is so many of us here hehehe. Regardless, I feel we're all getting stronger and sharper together,plus these athletic shorts are kinda sexy hehe." Ember says tying up her long green hair into two buns. The other girls besides Mikki grab their training gear and headed inside to shower. Mikki on the other hand shooed Corotani and Skyra away from playfully poking her exposed thighs.
She walked over to Ember and placed her hand on her back. "Us green-haired girls gotta stick together, unless your thinking of dying it a different color huh?" Mikki teased. Ember untied her buns and looks at her long green hair. "Yeah maybe black and green,or yellow tips hmmm..I mean people may think were sisters at this point hehe. I mean Pega and Ivanka already confused us with one another and Silvia is being a grouch as usual. Wanna know why?" Ember said nudging Mikki's shoulder. Knowing Ember's crude sense of humor Yunago stopped brushing her fox tails for the moment and immediately flew as fast as possible to bonk her perverted friend.
"No why is Silvia so grouchy? I mean she was perfectly fine last week when Galastrom was in the recovery room. Speaking of being grumpy, Happy Gala is a Grumpy Gala. She keeps saying she misses Mommy. Aww poor baby,she may have the body of a young adult; but her mind surely isn't there. The girl does speak in third person after all. I wonder what she's even thinking?" Mikki said unintentionally offending not only her birth mother Galastrom, but Silvia as well.
Silvia marched over and stared Mikki directly in her dark eyes. "My daughter ain't stupid, in case ya been living under a asteroid or bathing in the sun!! My girlfriend has been CAPTURED BY THAT FUCKIN' RAPIST!! How else am I supposed to feel? I miss her so much,if I could,I'd knock one of those guys in the spaceships out,heave em into the void and drive head first into that prison cell and get my baby outta there!!" Silvia yelled. This scared Mikki a bit.
Galastrom hugged Silvia tight. She was in tears and no one really knew exactly how she felt. In her past Silvia had to be the grown up,she has to provide for her and her younger sisters,she had to brave the abusive nature of her father and mother. To her, tears weren't allowed,regardless of gender. If you were a female or male in Silvia's household, you'd be beaten tenfold if a single tear was shown. At the age of ten, the girl had to train her sisters and herself to bury their emotions, it was only when she was welcomed by Luna and embraced by her massive family and friends. This was the moment to cry. Silvia cried so much Galastrom's shirt was wet on one side. Skyra now accepted Silvia as her own daughter if not future daughter-in-law.
"I was once like you Silvia. Hehe, A few differences is..I'm not as strong as you are. Sure..I did murder a few...hundred if not thousands of people and went absolutely crazy, but I wanted them to hurt like I did. What I wanna say is...don't ever be like me. I had to change for my baby girls and now..I have to continue to change for my adopted granddaughter, friends and even you. Hold on,we'll get Luna,trust me. Don't be like me when I was nineteen, I was a harlot,I gave myself to numerous men,woman and so many criminals. It's a miracle dullahan woman can't get STIs or STDs." Skyra said hugging Silvia the tightest.
The two may have came from different backgrounds,both extreme in their own way,but they knew that both were telling the truth. "Thanks Mom..H..hehe..It's funny. When we met,I was terrified of you mainly cause I didn't realize whose daughter I was bullying, but once I got to read the Neotic God Books about you and all your history..I realize but ignored the fact you could literally fold me like a omelet." Silvia giggled.
Skyra kissed Silvia on her cheek to show her newfound love for her newest daughter. She smiled and Azou along with Zuma(Lord Unknown as others refer to him as.) The two hugged Silvia and lifted her up on their shoulders. "Your always part of the Hrotha,Omenella, Drakk and whatever last-family name clan. Once your one of us,ya never ain't gonna stop being one of us." Skyra said.
Proud to see how far her own daughters have come Skyra's own mother Yvonne stood on the top step holding her older sister Haze by her right ear. She said with a loud voice these words: "As the eldest Hrotha,second only to my husband Yegeel. It is time to form a plan for rescuing our Saviour. After all Luna has done so much for us,my granddaughter will not pray in vain. In fact, Haze,Skyra aren't Neotic deities supposed to answer prayers?" Yvonne said getting ready to pinch Skyra's cheeks.
Skyra slowly scratched the back of her head and the Queen of the Gods(Nea) folded her arms looking sternly at her dear friend. "Have you been neglecting your prayers Skyra?"Nea asked. Skyra nervously giggled and Yvonne pinched the girls cheeks disciplining her youngest daughter in front of everyone.
"Aaahhhh M..mother!! I'm sorry aggh, T...that hurts..okay okay!! I admit it..I recieved some prayers for Luna and got distracted. " Skyra says now being pinched by Nea on the other cheek. Both Yvonne and Nea's strength combine was surprisingly enough to make Skyra apologize. Everyone else laughed and once the cheek pinching was done. As any mother would Yvonne ordered her youngest daughter to get in meditation mode and contact Luna ASAP.
"You too Haze. Oh Yegeel,these girls are definitely your children, I may have birthed them over sixty-five years ago,but I will not stand for such..childish behaviour. For once I agree with someone that ISN'T apart of my family well..now she is. Silvia was it?" The tall elderly woman asked the frightened white-haired girl.
"Y..yes ma'am. " Silvia stammered. Yvonne's gaze was more scary then Skyra's. This was the mother of the great destroyer and havoc wreaker. "As the eldest. I speak for my husband and myself. Welcome to OUR family. I'm trusting in you to take this rescue mission seriously got it?" Yvonne asked.
Silvia saluted the tall woman and smiled. "Yes ma'am. Hold on babe. We're comin' just you wait."
