Mana Pool
Chapter 67
Note before I start. Last chapter I kinda forgot that Ashe knew about the underground fighting, her not knowing is now the canon and I went back and edited the one chapter where she was there to hear about it.

POV: You
Part 1.
It's dinner time now, Everyone was at the dinner table eating. The main course was Mom's infamous pot roast. God is this shit good. Mom was the one that taught me how to cook and I still don't know how she makes her pot roast so good. She says it's a secret.
"Wow, it's turned out amazing...miss.." Kai'sa says then her sentence falls as Kai'sa doesn't know what to call Mom.
Mom giggles a bit "Call me mom or mother if you like, and for the pot roast, it's a secret" Mom says.
Kai'sa blushes a bit "O-Okay..mother"
"Ya know son, you got an interesting group of girls here. Like I said earlier, they fit every aspect of you" Dad says to me with a hearty laugh.
"We appreciate the compliments, you've been wonderful to us so far" Ahri says.
"Well, our home is your home, (Y/n) will be getting the farm one day so think of it as an extended tour with some complementaries" Dad says the girls.
"If we're gonna all live here one day, we're gonna need more space darling" Evelynn says.
"We've got some time till then, also, we got the space to build, and there aren't any kids just yet" I replied to Evelynn.
"Kids? Oh! When will I be expecting grandkids then? I'm only getting older ya know" Mom says.
"Mom, they are all pretty busy, kids aren't on the table for them" Ashe tells mom however mom didn't budge as she wanted an answer. I had fallen right into her trap.
As April sat next to me, she places a hand on my leg, she was getting uncomfortable about the topic "I'll have kids one day mom, now is just not the time. The girls have their carriers, I'm busy doing my part. If it happens unplanned it happens, right now is just not the time" I explain to mom.
"Couldn't put it better my self if I wanted to" Qiyana says.
"I don't mind having kids now, I know honey will be a great dad" Sona adds.
"Right now isn't the greatest time though" April mutters to Sona.
Mom smiles "Guess I'll just have to wait then, I'll be lookin' forward to it. Oh, the youngyins you'll have runnin' around, don't keep me waiting too long now"
"Honey your accents commin' out" Dad says with a soft chuckle.
"It is? Ah, it don't matter, just happy for my baby boy and bein' able to meet all of you girls. Our home is your home. Think of it as a little sanctuary from the city" Mom says with a gleaming smile.
"Holy, she's got a brighter smile then Sona" Akali says winching like if she was being blinded by the sun itself.
"Thank you for extending your hospitality to us mother and welcoming us with open arms. I'm sure you are a very special type of person to accept a situation like this" Evelynn says with a smile.
"Aww, it's no problem dear" Mom says.
"Evelynn, I promise that it's not necessary to butter up (Y/n)'s mom, she's an extremely hospitable and kind person" April says to Evelynn, a small smile on her face, easing back into the conversation.
"She's right, you have an amazingly sweet song emanating from you" Seraphine says excitedly.
"You girls sure know how to make your future mother in law smile" Mom says with a fawning tone.
The comment makes the table go silent as the girls pondered on that thought. Guess the girls never stopped to think about it. The kids talk was one thing but permanent bonds like marriage is another ball game. Mom sees the reaction to her comment and tilts her head a bit before glancing at me.
"(Y/n), you are going to responsibly marry all of these girls correct?" She speaks.
I sigh and put a my fork down as I turned my attention to Mom "One day, Mom, it wasn't something we've put in the cards yet. They are all still early in their careers, K/DA became world wide celebrity icons within the past few years. Then Qiyana's group with Ekko, Yasuo and Senna just shot off into the stratosphere this year. Then with Seraphine, she's yet to even debut. Marriage is a stress that doesn't need to be added to their plates" I tell her.
It may have been something I've thought of, but it's not something I can push onto them. I don't want to ruin their lives even though they love me for who I am. I got over the Beast, but I can't change me "Look Mom, they know I'm powerless, but the world doesn't know and-"
Evelynn interrupts me "Darling, I'm going to ask for for you to politely shut up"
"Agreed, we already told you we don't care that you're powerless. Hell, I'm powerless too (Y/n) and it doesn't make us give a damn any more" Akali adds.
"You all may not care but that doesn't mean the world will" I state simply.
"Alph-" Ahri was about to speak before hitting her tongue and staring over "(Y/n), we will get through it together. That's what it means for us to be together. We'll take that burden head on when we get there"
"Like it or not sweetie, we've accepted the path we're walking with you" Qiyana says with her arms crossed.
"That means whatever happens, we're ready for it" Kai'sa adds
"Yup! Even if it includes a secret child or two" Sona gleams.
I chuckle a bit "What did I do to deserve you girls?"
"Everything" April says with a smile.
As dinner went on, I noticed some light gleam onto the wall through the windows. Usually this meant someone just drove up to the house, but the question would be who "I'll be right back" I say.
"Alright" April says.
I walk out of the dining room and made my way outside. Heading out the door I see the source of the light being the head lights of a black limousine. I walked between the cars and headed up to the limousine. As I do, a man in a suit comes out of limousine.
"Good evening sir" The man says with a prosperous smile on his face.
"Evening, can I help you with something?" I say as I cross my arms.
"Yes, I have a proposition that I assure wouldn't regret accepting" He says.
"Oh? That so? And just what kind of proposition that I wouldn't want to miss out on?" I question with a cocked brow.
"Well, you've got some nice land-" The man says while looking around.
"I'm gonna stop you right there bud. This land ain't of sale, no amount of money is going to buy you this farm. That I can promise, I suggest you not test me" I state to the man.
"I see, you aren't interested in selling" The man speaks.
"No, and never will, a fight won't even change that" I say before turning my back in him "Now by the time I reach the door, you better be in your way out"
There was silence from the man, as I take a step forward I hear scrambling before getting into his limousine. I head for the door, walking at a brisk pace. Once I reach the door I grab the handle and look back, the tail lights of the limousine racing down the dirt road.
"Those bastards always want our land" I say as I shook my head.
Part 2.
Everyone were all asleep, it's the middle of the night. It's the first night and decided I'll sleep in my bed at least once. The girls were separated between two guest rooms and my bedroom. The other girls were busy, I was sharing my room with April and Sona, which meant I was also sharing my bed with them. My room was a mostly normal room without any real main points of interest.
"(Y/n)" I hear as someone poked my cheek.
I wake up, April looking at me while poking me, beside me was Sona, fast asleep using me like a pillow with the jugs she calls boobs, pressed up against my head. Sona definitely has the biggest bond of all the girls, completely uncontested.
"Need something? Was it a nightmare?" I ask April.
She shakes her head with a small smile "I was thinking about us going to go take a dip"
She's smiling a bit. Looks like just being here has positively affected her well being "I can get with that, I'll meet you down outside"
April presses her lips gently into mine "Just make sure not to wake the sleeping beauty next to you" She teases quietly.
April swiftly slides herself out of bed and walks her way out of my room. I glance over at the sleeping Sona, I then pleaded a kiss on her forehead and slowly slipped out of her grip. As I did, I replaced myself with my pillow like I was a treasure hunter trying to steel an idol. After successfully swapping my place out for my pillow, Sona squeezes it tightly while muttering in her sleep.
"Honey...your the sweetest"
I smile to myself before leaving my room. I head downstairs and outside where I found April waiting for me "Made your sweet escape?" April asks with a soft giggle.
"Yeah, but if Sona grasp was a prison, I don't mind staying there longer, I get soft big pillows" I say to her and then she elbows me.
"Maybe you're enjoying them too much, let's go" She says and holds my hand.
April and I begin walking into the night. We walked down a road that went past the garage with the mustang in it. The road becomes a dirt road trail through the forest, this road lead to other fields we have and also a few pastures. Along this road, there is a hard to notice trail branching off to the side.
"Here we are" She says as she drags me onto the trail.
"Little too eager don't you think?" I question her.
"Is it too much to spend some time under the cover of night with you?" She speaks.
After we walked a bit more, there was a faint blue glow gleaming through the trees. Soon enough we reached the source of the glow, it was an extremely familiar spot for me. Inside a small clearing, with a glow and some steam was a mana pool, a hot spring mana pool to be specific.
"Been a while since I've been here" I say.
April let's go of my hand and immediately begins stripping her clothes off "Well, you haven't had a reason to come here. Last time you did, you turned the entire thing red" She replies.
"That's right. I've still have yet to see you worry about me to a point like that again" I say.
Once April is down into her birthday suit, she sleeps her naked body into the mana pool. I begin stripping my clothes off to join her in this skinny dipping venture. After stripping all my clothes off I get into the mana pool. The temperature being just right like a hot spring.
April had her left hand raised up as she stared at it, the same hand she had gotten the knife stabbed through "So, it works the same on me like it does on you. All the pain in my hand is gone, and the scars are barely noticeable" She then looks at her stomach where there were now three hard to see lines from where she had been clawed "Even my stomach is healed too"
"If it works on a powerless like me, why wouldn't it work on someone with a power" I tell her as I came up behind her, hugging her.
"I had the thought that it only worked on you because you were powerless. People with powers have mana regeneration and enhanced healing rate, though nothing like the healing of those with healing as their powers" April explains to me, her hands then grab onto mine as we sank ourselves into the water "I hate that looking at my hand, or stomach makes me remember the event so clearly. It's like a curse, even though it would be just a version of PTSD"
"You seem to be getting better now, like just being here has made you feel better" I say to her.
"Yeah, that and with Evelynn's help, I just didn't think I'd be smiling already" She tells me.
"That's good, means I can make you smile like this too" I tell her then began playfully kissing her neck making her giggle, a smile across her face.
"Stop, you're ruining the moment" April replies with a playful giggle.
"See, I got that smile out of you" I tell her as I stopped playing with her.
"Thanks, I needed that" She tells me, she then turns to face me "So, how much did you do today on the car?"
"Well, I got all the damaged body panels off, then got all of the interior out, to replace all the windows, after diner I started gutting everything out from under the hood" I explained to her.
"So how bad is it? I remember the engine doesn't run" She says.
"I didn't get that far. I'll take the engine out tomorrow and see the problem, if it's something minor I'll fix that and stick it back in, if it's something major I got the solution for that too" I say back.
"I see, guess you still have a lot of work to do" She states.
"Yeah but it should go smoother with Akali's help, it's been a bit of a bonding experience" I tell her.
April smiles a bit "The two of you are gonna fuck soon, I guarantee it"
I roll my eyes "It happens it happens, just don't get jealous when you hear her moans from the house" I say with a sly smile.
She playfully punches me, pauses for a moment then goes in for kiss, a sweet delectable kiss "I'm not the jealous type remember"
"Whatever you say ma'am" I tease.
"Don't you dare start that, I'll hit you with a rock" April tells me.
"Love you too, April" I says and scooped her close, April letting out a giggle.
"God I love you love" April tells me before pressing her lips into mine with a smile plastering her face.
Part 3
I struggled to breathe, my body felt like it was ready to implode. Covered in sweat, dirt, wet and dry blood. All around me were cheers of an audience, people hungry for more blood shed. Adrenaline and dopamine fiercely being pumped throughout their brains. This, was the underground fighting arena.
"What's...going on..?" I muttered to myself. I don't remember a thing "Why am I...fighting again?"
I looked in front of me at my opponent, they were in no better shape than me. Jaw hanging to the side broken, an eye swollen shut, countless bones broken in his body, yet he continued to stand, just like me. My face throbbed, in pain, bones fractured through out my body and three broken fingers on my left hand that I had to force into the shape of a first. Lacerations deep and shallow covered my body like a cutting board, I had never been hurt this bad before in a fight.
"Keep fighting..I have to..to get back to April..."
The Beast in me had warn off, I couldn't her mad anymore, I was exhausted, my stamina drained. My opponent. I remember who he is now. Holden Recktford, or known as Hell's Berserker. A man with the power to make sharp bone like structures he can form out from his body, the one his power has is that the power can only be used outside of his body, so he can't use it to heal his broken bones. Holden had extremely dirty blond hair and a large beard, both now covered in blood and sweat. Tattoos covered his body like a canvas, the main tattoo being that of a viking on his back.
"Done with your breather yet?" Holden grimaces as he spits out a tooth and bloody spit, he may be acting tough but the breathers helping him too.
Holden has a nearly undefeated record in the underground. 200 wins and 13 loses in his 13 years fighting in the underground. Those 13 losses weren't from him losing, it was cause he didn't show up to the fight, too plastered after a night filled with women and alcohol. A fight between The Beast of Piltover and Hell's Berserker is like Super Bowl level fight. Holden are similar in being incredibly strong fighters, that's where the similarities end. He's a blood thirsty, merciless psychopath, earning of a name of Hell's Berserker.
"Time to end this" I say.
I step forward, using the rest of the energy I had left in my body to lunge forward at Holden. Holden does the same towards me, at the same time. We throw out fists and they slam into each other pain coursing through my fists as I feel the fingers in my right first break from the collision. Holden sweeps his leg at me I slide my feet bag while grabbing onto his left first with my hand, while I slid my feet back to avoid his leg sweep, however, a sharp pain collide with my left leg.
"Fuck!" I shout as I then fall down on to one knee.
Holden turns it around with my right arm and grabs it and slams his knee into my fore arm, my arm snapping as bone jets out from my arm. I shout out in pain, Holden swings around with a bone structure on his arm and slashed my back, feeling blood stream across my entire back. Rage started to boil again, whatever I had left.
"C'mon Beast. One more time" I think and a sharp grin starts to form on my face. A low growl echoing from mouth.
I sweep around and slam my leg into his, sweeping him off his feet. I whip my right arm and out moderately fixing the bone jetting out from my arm and tensing my muscle up to solidify my forearm. I then slammed it into him as his body was already falling, his body hits the ground harder, I get on top of him and began to hit Holden over and over. Bone breaking with every punch, then I go for his head, his head being whipped back with every punch, bone cracking as the skull began to fracture. I grab his jaw and ripped out with one singular yank before slamming his now ripped of jaw into his chest.
The crowds cheered as I slowly stood up. Sound began to blur, ringing ensued. I take a step away from Holden, I take another step before falling onto the ground "(Y/n)!" I hear a muffled worried shout.
I get rolled over and I see a crying April, I see Garen, Rakan, and Xayah as well "We gotta get him up" Garen exclaims.
My vision began to give way into darkness, I slowly began to wake up a bit, I felt like I was moving, I was in the backseat of a car, my head in April's lap as she cried "Stay with me (Y/n)" April cries.
"He better not die in my back seat!" Rakan shouts.
"You're worried about the back seat! Really!" Xayah shouts.
"Just keep fucking driving for gods sake!" Garen shouts.
"Everyone shut the fuck up!!" April screams at them.
Everything goes black again, as I began to wake, I felt myself being carried through the woods. April was holding my hand as Garen carried me on my head side and Rakan carried me from my legs. I saw a light glow as my head dangled. My consciousness faded out then back in as I felt my body hit hit water, my body feeling like it was on fire while electric like stinging stung my open wounds. April got into the water with her clothes on and held onto my head, hugging me close as tears ran down her face. The water was going from a faint glowing blue to being stained red with blood.
"Please, stay with me, don't go (Y/n)" April cried.
"I........won't...." I muttered.
I slowly close my eyes...I then open them again, I find myself in my bed, face in a pair of breasts. Baby blue hair in my vision. I pull away and saw Sona, she had a saddened look on her face as she looked at me.
"You looked like you were having a bad dream honey" Sona asks me as she sits up.
"You could call it that" I say as I sit up. I felt my back where there was the large scar across it, the origin was that fight "It was the night I nearly died"
"Oh...that one, I wish I could have been with you when your friends hauled you out" Sona says to me.
"It's alright Sona, I'm alive ain't I?"I say then hugged Sona to my chest "Thanks for worrying Sona, listen to my heart. It beats for all of you, understand"
"I understand honey" Sona says.
"Damn it...I wanted to forget that night"
