[Chapter 211] What the…?

—————————————————————

Somewhere deep in the mountains…

"We have been walking for so long and have found nothing! Where are these fucking monsters?!" Yells Ruby as her hair practically bursts into flames. Amber and Jade giggle as Amethyst sighs.

"Probably because you have been releasing your S Rank Aura everywhere. They all can sense that they would die breathing in our direction and ran. Next time, reel in that aura of yours and you might find some action." Amethyst tells Ruby in a singular breath, per usual.

Ruby glares at her but says nothing as she smolders, her glaring bloodlust being sucked in, eventually disappearing all together. She herumphs to herself as she silently walks in the lead, almost competing with Emerald in a seeming game of don't break the sugar bowl.

Amber smiles happily as she piggybacks on Rolen's shoulders, "This is an enjoyable walk. I could fall back asleep at this rate, speaking of, how did you sleep Jade?"

Jade smiles at Amber's radiant glow as she speaks happily, "I slept like a baby thanks to Rolen. You make a comfortable pillow by the way!"

Rolen smiles, the frown on his face gone for a few moments, "Oh really? I was thinking the same thing about those."

He takes his hand and points at her large chest, causing her to blush. "Well these pillows hurt my back and you aren't any help!" She answers strongly, as if angry.

But after a moment, they both burst into laughter, increasing the joyful atmosphere of their walk. However, Amber frowns as she feels her chest, a sigh escaping her lips, "Still flat….."

Rolen shrugs, fixing her position on his shoulders, "Your chest is fine, you shouldn't be upset about that."

Ruby nods as she stretches, her back crackling like a fire, "Indeed, having a large bust is a pain in the back."

"Ruby has a large set of breasts on her chest, so she speaks from experience." Amethyst says as a rare smile appears on her face, "Me and Emerald got lucky with our medium sized chests, didn't we?"

Emerald glances at her as she shrugs, her breasts bouncing up and down slightly, "My back doesn't hurt so I guess, wouldn't mind larger ones though."

Amethyst nods, "I'm happy with mine-"

"I'm not, these things are annoying to take care of!" Ruby exclaims as she bounces her air bags. They bounce around like two massive jugs of jello, barely contained by her tight red dress.

Jade looks over at Rolen, "What size do you think is best?"

Suddenly, he feels 4 sets of eyes pierce into him, causing him to nervously laugh. He is now treading in the line of life and death, needing to consider his words very carefully in this moment.

He coughs as he clears his throat, "From the wise words of my old friend, any size makes my wood rise."

Suddenly, Emerald holds her hand up to her mouth as she giggles, causing the tense situation to ease slightly. After a moment, Amber bursts out laughing as she pats Rolen's head before kissing him, "Knew you were the right guy bub. Love you."

Ruby smiles as she looks back ahead, Amethyst giggling like an idiot for the next few minutes. Jade, happy with his answer, hugs his arm.

He smiles happily, knowing he just avoided death. The scary crisis of being sent to the couch, forever ignored for the next week now behind him.

As they continue traversing the mountainous terrain, Emerald suddenly stops, bringing the rest of the party to a halt. Then she whispers, "Did you guys really not sense them?"

Ruby from the side whispers, to Emerald, "I knew it wasn't my imagination. What's the plan?"

"Leave them alive for interrogation." Responds Emerald as her hands glisten with a green glow.

"Got it." Ruby responds.

They seemingly disappear as a red and green light cover where they were standing. That's when Rolen turns around, Amber, Amethyst, and Jade doing the same, having heard what just conspired between the 2 along with sensing what they had long ago.

Suddenly, far away in the distance, a nuclear explosion of flames appears.

Rolen smiles as he gazes at the flames, "Seems she was itching to release some firepower."

Moments later a wave of heat hits them as the ground rumbles, massive vines covering the sky in a large sphere, dark green crystal fiercely growing across their throned surface.

Rocks begin to rumble behind them, falling one after another before becoming a massive wave of stone. Amber, without turning around, murmurs at lightning speed, seconds later, pillars of black stone rocket around them.

Jade and Amethyst hold their hands to the ground as mint green and purple crystal erupt from their hands, coating the ground and their surroundings in a flurry of color. Boulders smack off of the barrier with *tings* and *tungs*, slowly increasing in size until boulders 3 times larger than them are hitting the barriers, but simply bounce off as if a rubber ball.

After about an hour, rocks and dust begin to settle. A sea of stone and rock cover the ground and are all the eye can see. A few minutes later, the ground gently rumbles as a large boulder floats into the air, dust particles floating around it in a seeming moment of frozen time.

Out pops a brown haired head, her small, round face nonchalant as she mutters words at lightning speeds. The rock is slowly set aside as Amethyst gently leaps out of the hole, seemingly flying for a moment before softly landing on the ground.

Jade slowly follows behind along with Amber. Finally, Rolen flys out as a set of wings expand from his back, silver outlined with matte black webbing. He flaps them a few times as dust stirs around him.

Rolen sighs as he rubs his head, "Keep them alive, but that doesn't mean try to kill us…"

He looks over at the trio of girls gazing in the distance, "Luckily, we're all grade A and above so not even a hundred of these could kill us."

He glances at the hole, gazing at the mint green and purple dome of crystal, "It never ceases to amaze me that they all have this power."

He turns his head back as he looks over to see what the trio are looking. Suddenly, the smell of iron drifts into his nose, his pupils tighten as his heart rate increases ever so slightly, "So much blood…how many monsters died in that rockslide?"

But as he gazes at the de estates mountain, 2 voices can be heard in the distance, their silhouettes appearing from the still settling dust.

"We found them! But your gonna want to see this!" Ruby's voice echoes through the now valley. As they get closer, his eyes focus on who her and Emerald are dragging behind them as confusion settles on his face, "What the…?"
