Chapter 94: The Arena of Hell
The next morning
"Help me!!"
Remus walked into the basement, "Aubrey, why the hell are you screaming this early in the goddamn mornin..." he looked up and saw Aubrey stuck on the ceiling, his eyes began twitching, "Aunt Shady!! Aubrey is stuck on the ceiling!!"
"What?!"
Remus shrugged and walked away as Shady and Tony ran into the basement to help Aubrey down.
"Bunty, how did you get stuck on the ceiling?!"
"I was just walking around, lost in thought and I didn't even know I could walk on walls until I snapped back to reality!!"
"Well, it's basic witch biology to walk on walls!!"
"I'm half-witch!!"
"You can still walk on wall-!
"Be quiet!! Dad's trying to sleep!!"
"I will never understand teenagers" Shady mumbled as she helped Aubrey off of the ceiling.
"T-thank you"
An hour or two later, in the holo-room
"Excited to test out the upgrades first, Lele?"
"Let's see what these things can do, Fugitoid" Leah stretched her arms with the others cheering her on, as a hologram of the foot clan mansion appeared with a hologram of Anton in front of her.
"Fight!"
Leah began attacking the hologram, she dodged all of his attacks and sucker punched him in the jaw, causing him to disappear.
"Ooh!! Nice one Leah!"
Sera giggled, "Wrong game for a sucker punch, come on, Mussy! Let's show her how it's done!"
"Gladly!"
The two walked past Leah as a hologram of Baxter Stockman appeared.
"Fight!"
Remus flew into the air as Sera wrapped vines around his hand, he swung her into the hologram causing her to wrap her nunchucks around it and swing it into the wall.
"Flower power!!" They shouted, making a heroic pose as they landed.
"That is the corniest sh** I've heard!!"
"Perhaps we should show them how the new duo is in action," Aubrey smiled.
"Gladly, come on!"
But before Ray and Aubrey could fight Fish Face, Lena, Phillip and Nymph came running into the holoroom.
"Aww, come on!!"
"Sorry dorks but Fugitoid needs you all!"
The team walked into the main control center, they saw Fugitoid and Shady standing in front of a hologram.
"What's going on?"
"Team, may I introduce you to the Quarren Mothership" Fugitoid stated as he moved out of the way to show the hologram of the mothership.
"Whoa"
"Now, what I've gather is that it is heavily guarded but there is one blind spot, here in the cargo hold" Shady pointed at a small entrance on the hologram, "Each cargo is scanned searching for heat signatures, if there is one detected it is immediately destroyed but you all can sneak in pretty easily"
"We are 99.8% certain that the first piece is being stored in their main armory! Lena, Nymphadora, Tony and Phillip are staying behind to help us monitor your process!"
"Oh come on!!"
"This is racist!! We wanna kick some squid heads!"
"It is for the best, you two" Tony said, "We are not as stealthy as the others but... I am getting closer" He smiled teasingly.
"Way to be subtle, Tony but he has a point, their trained"
"Your getting close too Nymph"
Nymph giggled, "I have a great teacher"
"Mus, why can't you teach us!!"
"Because the last time I tried to help all three of you, you gave Lena a black eye, Nymph damn near broke your arm and Lena threw one of my feathered knives"
"That's not terrible-!"
"It nearly went in my face."
"Still think you picked favorites" Lena grumbled.
"Exactly."
"Can we focus on the mission, Remus?" Leah snickered, giving him a playful slap on the hip.
"Alright, alright"
"How exactly are we supposed to sneak if it detects body temperature?"
"Simple, you are endothermic"
"Endo what?"
"Endothermic, turtles can regulate their body temperature since you are half turtles, you can do it as well now for Remus"
"Hmm?"
"You may have to hide in the same cargo hole as Leah, considering you are warm-blooded"
"Okay th-!"
Nymph hugged Remus, "Be careful! Also, Leah, listen to him"
"I always do, Nymph, after all" Leah looked at him and smiled, "I owe him my life"
"Aww! Look at the parents getting along!!"
"Ahem, can we go!"
"Yes, we can go, come on"
The team put on their spacesuits, they walked into the cargo hold of the Uxilies and saw Fugitoid preparing Quarren cargo shipments for them.
"The cargo shipments are ready! Now, two to each!"
Aubrey and Ray crawled into one which worked out, considering the height difference, Remus and Leah crawled into another, and Sera crawled into one by herself.(Since Shady wasn't going)
"Now, all of you stay quiet and wait until you are sure your inside"
"Got it, Fugi-Dude!"
"Meaning you Serafina"
"Sorry!"
"Good"
The team stayed quiet as Fugitoid teleported them into a Quarren cargo ship, once it began unloading the scanning began and it worked for the first two boxes until Sera felt hers stop.
"Ep"
Sera closed her eyes and grabbed her nunchucks just in case until the box started moving again.
"Phew"
The boxes were placed in a separate room, Leah and Remus opened their box just a little bit and sighed in relief as they saw no guards.
"Come on, we could tell the others they can come out!"
They crawled out as Remus knocked on Sera's while Leah knocked on Aubrey's and Ray's.
"Come on, it's safe!"
Sera crawled out while Aubrey and Ray just fell on top of each other.
"Ow! Get off me!"
"Sorry!!" Aubrey crawled off of her, she gasped as she saw Ray's tail bent out of place, "Okay, Ray... Stay still!"
"The f**k, wh-!"
Aubrey grabbed her tail and pushed it back into place, causing Ray to scream in pain as her hair caught on fire.(Setting off silent smoke alarms)
"Ray!! Put your hair out!"
"I need water, princess!! Nerdette what the f**k?!"
"It was bent out of place!! I had to put it back into position!"
"And you had to do it, now?!"
"It would've hurt more if I had waited!"
"Oh we-!"
"Girls! Relax!"
Ray stood up rubbing her a$$ as she growled at Aubrey, "You're so dead later."
"Mmm, where to now?"
Fugitoid spoke through their communication link, "Head down that hallway and take a left"
"Got it"
The team began running down the hallway until they were stopped by Quarren.
"I swear the silent alarm went off... Intruders!!"
"Oh sh**"
"Go back!! Back!!" The team began running back to the ship but more Quarren soldiers blocked their path.
"Trying to run away is stupid!!"
"You have a better idea, Remus?!"
"Do you Ray?!"
"Hell yes! Beat them up!"
"How are we supposed to-!" Leah screamed as the Admiral picked her up and held a gun to her head, the team quickly pulled out their weapons.
"Surrender, Mutants. Or your leader... Dies." Admiral M'Riska fired up the gun as Leah closed her eyes, ready to take the blast.
".. drop them"
"Mus, are you crazy-!"
"Raydiant, would you like to see her brains blown out in front of us."
"Remus, don't do it!" Leah pleaded until he dropped his tonfas, Sera followed after him and dropped her nunchucks, Aubrey dropped her boa staff. She looked at Ray and shook her head, "Don't..."
"I don't have much of a choice."
Ray dropped her sai's, the admiral grinned evilly as she put down her gun.
"Take them to the air-way. I want to blast them into space."
"Yes, admiral"
The soldiers picked up the others, fighting them slightly to take off their helmets.
"Hey!! Not my awesome helmet!!"
"Get in there you little freak!" A soldier tossed Sera into the room, she quickly landed on top of Remus.
"Remus Leslie Theodore Hamato-Davenport, what the hell is wrong with you?!"
"She would've killed you!"
"And you all would have escaped! How many times have I told you guys that if it comes between me and your lives, pick yours!"
"None of us took it well when you were in a coma, how do you think we'd take being splattered with your blood and brains?!"
"Remus, my life is my own! If I want to risk it, let me risk it but you all are too important!"
"You're just as important as us!"
"No, I'm not! A leader has to be ready to sacrifice themselves no matter what! I was 15 when the first invasion hit and I sacrificed myself for you all. I will do it again and again because you're my family and I love you all like siblings!"
It got quiet between the two, which is when the doors to the airlock began to open, slowly.
"Oh no!"
"Ahh!! We're gonna die!!"
"Everyone stay calm" Leah stood up, "Breathe and remember your training" she sat down on her knees and she folded her hands, closing her eyes.
The others followed in suit, but Remus opened his eyes slightly, he looked at his best friend.
"Why... Why do you think your life is any less than ours? Do you understand how much of a wreck we were without you...? Or do you know but you also want us to learn how to fight without you?" He thought, before he closed his eyes again.
Back on the ship
"What are they doing?"
"It's a Japanese training technique Leonardo taught them, called: Sendou jutsu. They are slowing their bodies down to go without oxygen"
"We have to figure out a plan to rescue them, any ideas?"
Lena raised her hand but Fugitoid and Shady ignored her, for obvious reasons.
"Anyone at all?"
"I got one, Fug!!" Lena raised Preston above her head to get his attention.
".. Lena?"
"We sneak in using the other stealth ship, grab the black hole thingy and the others, and haul a$$ out of there!"
"That.. that's actually a good idea!"
"See, y'all totally underestimate me!"
"Lena... Preston is on the roof"
"Sissy?"
"Ah, sh**!!" Lena looked up as Preston stuck his tiny feet to the roof, "God dammit!! I'm a terrible sister!"
"Maybe you need lessons on how to be a better sister"
"Shut up!!"
"Don't worry, Preston! Your sister is gonna get you down!"
"Do a flip!" Lena shouted, earning a smack on the head from Phillip, "I mean I'm coming!"
"Oh god"
Back with the others
"Where are we going now?"
"You all will be entered into the Tri-Arena, where the Emperor will watch you all die in glorious battle."
"None of us would be in this situation, had you just let me get shot."
"It was a lose-lose situation, I made my choice, you shouldn't hold it against me."
"Oh, I can and I will."
"Yeah, and explain to your dad that you died and I had an opportunity to stop it. Not a fun conversation to have with my older brother."
"Oh well then."
"Oh well? That's all you have to say to me is "oh well."
"Remus, I will say it over and over and over again. My life cannot hold you all back. I know how rough it was without me but I also know that you all are strong enough to live and fight without me."
"And that sh** you pulled was, what? You trying and failing to prove and justify your point."
".. I'll never understand how we're cousins, if you won't see it from my perspective."
"Try and see it from your perspective? I.. okay, trying to see it from your perspective, sounds like you.. want to leave us"
"Or maybe I'm tired of putting you all in danger... Mus, I'm the one that convinced my father to let you all know me and all I've done is put you in danger and I can't help but think if I had never said anything you all would be safe and better off."
The two just stared at each other, wondering a similar thing, "Are you crazy? Why won't you let me in/let me go?"
The Quarren tossed them into another cell, allowing Leah and Remus to actually have a conversation without screaming at each other.
Leah sat down in the corner, trying to calm down the other version of her from freaking out.
"Leah"
"Hmm?" She looked up at him, "What is it?"
"Are we gonna talk about it"
Leah sighed, "Sit next to me"
"Okay" he walked over to the corner she was trying to hide in and sat next to her.
"I'm changing, Mus" Leah looked at him, "I'm doing things differently and I'm making choices differently, one day I might leave and who knows, it could be tomorrow or in 20 years but I might leave the team to figure myself out, and I need you to prepare for that"
".. and I can't hold that against you, so.. now, I get it"
"Mus, you know you can always count on me" Leah hugged him, "But one day you might have to count on yourself and when you do, I will be so proud of you like always"
".. okay Lele"
"Yay!! Mom and dad made up!!"
"Thank god too, sh**!! You two can get dark quicker than me trying to light something on fire!!"
"Mmm Hmm, I mean can you imagine? Leah leaving the team?" Aubrey giggled, "She would never"
"Yeah, Lele loves us too much!"
"I deny that!"
"No she doesn't! Right, Lele?"
Leah smiled softly, "I do love you all" She looked at her team, "And that will never stop if I ever leave"
Back on the ship
"Nymph, girl! Calm down!"
"What do you mean, you lost them?! What if they're hurt?!"
"Nymphadora, please, calm yourself"
"Nymph, please, I'm sure they're fine-!"
"Found them.. and they're scheduled to fight in the Quarren Tri-Arena"
"What's that?"
"Is it like gladiators?!"
"Uh.. it's wicked and cruel, I'll just say that"
"Mmm Hmm, I've heard about it, prisoners of the Quarren go in and they never make it back out"
"Damn"
Nymph started whimpering before bawling into tears, "Oh my god!!"
"Dah!! Nymph! Nymph, breathe!"
"I don't want them to die!!"
"They won't, they probably won't, they'll.. at best get injured-!"
Nymph cried louder as the others turned to Lena, "NOT HELPING!!"
"What am I supposed to say?!"
"Everything but that!!"
Back with the others
Aubrey, Ray, Sera, and Leah screamed as the Quarren soldiers wrapped metal around their wrists.
"No unauthorized magic allowed."
"Unauthorized magic?!"
Ray growled as she tried to heat up her hands but the metal gave her whole body a painful shock, "OW!!"
"Ray! Are you okay?!"
"Do I look okay?!"
"The metal probably gives us a nerve shock, to stop us from using our powers"
"Ah, hell! How come he doesn't get these torture bracelets on!!"
Remus flipped Ray off, "Because all I got are wings and my good looks"
"Don't suppose you could try and flirt our way out of this!"
"Hell no!"
"First of all if he does, I will kill him and second of all Nymph will kill him and then kill me for killing him!"
"Exactly!! I don't want a f**king death sentence!"
"Would you children be quiet?!" Admiral shouted, as she was escorting them to the weaponry.
"Make me b**ch" Ray flipped her off, as Remus cackled right next to her.
"Oh, this battle will."
The teens looked in shock as they saw their normal weapons on the wall, they each grabbed their weapons as the admiral shoved them into a separate room.
"What room is this"
"I'm assuming this is the room they burn us alive in"
"But they said we're supposed to be fighting for our lives"
"Then they shoot us to death"
"Yeah, that's possible"
"Why do you guys always go dark?"
"Mom was an assassin"
"Mom's a doctor"
"That explains a lot"
The doors to the room opened, leading them outside and into the Tri-Arena.
"Quarrens of all genders and all ages, may we present our newest contestants!"
The crowd of Quarren's began cheering louder as the teenagers stepped foot into the Arena.
"The terrains of Planet Earth! Each with unique abilities, let's see if they survive the Spasmosaur!"
"The what?"
The team looked in disgust as they saw a giant tentacle monster crawl out of another door.
"Oh, that terrifying thing"
"Oh, I'm so over fighting monsters" Leah rolled her eyes, "I miss fighting footbots"
"Agreed"
"What did your cell buddy tell you about this... thing, Dunce-Face?!"
"They said look for a white spot on the thing!"
"All I see are tentacles, trying to rip my wings off!!" Remus screamed as the tentacle monster tugged on each of his limbs.
"I'm not seeing it either!! Because the thing is shaking me like a ragdoll!!"
Aubrey screamed as she was tossed into the air, the crowd was cheering as she fell as the monster opened one of its mouths.
"Wait.. I think I see it!"
Aubrey turned on the sharp edge of her boa staff and tossed it into the white spot, once it hit a green liquid exploded causing the monster to whimper and run in pain.
"Nice one Nerdette!"
Aubrey smiled as Ray caught her, "I did it!!"
"Yeah you did!!"
"Woo!! High five-!" Sera shouted before getting hit in the head by a rock, "Hey!!"
The crowd was booing and throwing rocks at them because they were under the assumption they would see gore.
"Ow!! Hey, who threw that?!"
"Don't worry about it Sera"
"Let's just get out of here!!"
"Exactly"
The team ran back into the cell, well... More like thrown into their cell.
"Hey Quinny! Your advice worked!"
"I am glad it did, my friend" Another cellmate answered through the brick wall between them and the others.
"So.. how come you're stuck down here with us?"
"I am a traitor to the empire, I disagreed with the emperors plans to use the heart of darkness against the innocent planet"
"You disagreed? Why?"
"We should move on, we lost our planet but the fight was fair"
"Get up aliens!! Your next battle is about to begin!"
"Already?"
"I fear I know who you are fighting next... Fight with honor"
"Quinn, if we don't see you again.. good luck on getting your freedom"
"Thank you.. I'll need it"
Meanwhile with the other group
"Are we getting closer Fugi?"
"I believe we are, Lena"
"Awesome!!"
They all turned a corner and were immediately stopped by the Admiral and two soldiers.
"Sh**!"
"Kids, run!! Find the black hole generator!" Shady shouted as one of the soldiers grabbed her and Fugitoid.
"What about the both of you?!"
"We will be fine! Just go!!"
"Capture them, you fools!"
The four dodged the attacks from the Quarren soldiers and ran away from them, until they stumbled upon the first piece of the black hole generator.
"Well, at least we know where it is" Tony stated, "But carrying it is the issue"
"Hmm.. what about these?" Nymph asked then pointed to Quarren devices that could trap anything in a bubble and make it float.
"Oooh!! I call pressing the button!!" Lena jumped up and down as Phillip watched the door.
"Lena, be careful"
Lena pressed the button and the black hole device was trapped in a bubble.
"And look who didn't mess it up! Nice one!"
"Aww, thanks!" Lena smiled then realized what he just said, "HEY!"
"Let's go, you two!"
Phillip and Tony pulled the bubble through the door as the girls pushed it through, but it quickly fell on top of the two boys.
"Sorry boys!"
"Get it off!"
The girls pulled it off of them, causing a couple of things to fall off the shelves.
"Ah sh**"
Back with the team
"Quinn.. w-we have to fight you?"
"I'm sorry you all had to find out this way.."
The team looked in shock as they stared up at the tall, muscular, scar covered Quarren.
"B-but! W-we can't fight you!"
"Ya think?!"
"Um, we have another problem"
"What other problem could we possibly h-!"
Sera pushed Leah and Remus's heads up to the Emperor's throne, where Shady and Fugitoid were trapped beside him.
"Sh**"
"So we have to save our a$$es from being smashed and rescue Aunt Shady and Fugitoid?!"
"That's exactly what we have to do"
"How?!"
"Try not to die first, we'll figure the rest out!"
Quinn grabbed Remus by the wings and tossed him into the air, they quickly hit him with their large hammer.
"Dah! Mus!!"
"Remus!!
As the others tried to fight Quinn, the Quarren Emperor was attempting to make a deal with Fugitoid and Shady.
"Stop it!! Can't you see they're just children, stop it!" Shady shouted, as the metal around her wrists shocked her.
"Fugitoid builds the Black Hole Generator for me and the children will be free of harm"
"I will never build such a weapon for you, D'Rikka."
"Well.. you all will watch your children meet their ends."
"NO!!" The two shouted as they saw Quinn continuously slamming Ray and Sera into the ground.
After what felt like 20 minutes when it was only ten, Quinn slammed Remus onto the ground and the others could hear bones in his wings break.
"Remus!!"
"AH!!"
"Quinn, wait!! We want the same things as you! Like jerky and getting rid of the black hole thingy!"
"I have to have my freedom!"
"You can get your freedom if you come with us!"
"Please!"
"The fate of our planet is at stake!"
The others dropped their weapons and looked at Quinn with pleading eyes.
"Finish the aliens off and you will have your freedom!"
Quinn looked at them as the crowd cheered their name, they then tossed their hammer at the Emperor barely missing his head.
"What the?!"
"You are such a disgrace. We are all here because we wish the heart of darkness would be destroyed but you would use it like some cowardly diamond!"
"Ugh!! Destroy them!!"
"Try me, you fool!"
Quarren soldiers began running into the Tri-Arena and attacking the others but things were slightly easier because Quinn was on their side.
"Go, save your world!"
"We will!!"
The team climbed up the walls and stood on the balcony, they stared at the emperor with evil grins on their faces.
"C-Children"
"Surprise~"
"Let Fugitoid and our aunt go or your brains are splattered for everyone to see"
"Kids!!"
"Mama! Where are the others?"
"I'm not sure, we got separated!"
"Well, let's go find them and get out of here!"
Admiral M'Riska ran over to them, "Emperor!"
"Do not do anything to them! They have made their greatest mistake."
The team began running with a gun placed at the Emperor's head just like the Admiral had done to Leah.
Just as they were running, they saw Phillip, Lena, Tony and Nymph running in the same direction with Quarren chasing after them.
"Watch out!! Quarren behind us!!"
"Quarren behind us!!"
"Dah!!"
"Dah!!"
At that moment, everyone else ran into each other and the other Quarren soldiers took notice that the Emperor was being held hostage.
"Emperor D'Rikka!! Hold your fire!"
"But they have the heart of darkness!"
"Destroy them!!"
"This way my friends, Beep!!" Fugitoid shouted as the group began running through the halls, they made it to an exit hatch.
"I hope you park close!"
"Hold your breath!!"
Shady pressed the hatch open and they all jumped out, with no helmets but Aubrey used the crystals the Aeons gave her to create an air bubble around them.
They floated onto the mini ship then flew it back onto the Uxilies.
"Whoa!! We almost died there!"
"Mmm hmm"
Remus groaned in pain as Shady checked the bones in his wings.
"Yup, these are broken" She explained as she rustled through her bag, "And... I have no more healing potion left"
"Great.. that's great.."
"Actually" Fugitoid walked over to them, "There is a planet nearby that is sorta what humans call a vacation"
"Really?"
"Mmm Hmm, they say their enchanted waters can perform healing properties"
"Wow"
"We can take a pit stop there, if we'd like"
"Yes please! We're hurt, we stink, Mus's wings are broken!!"
"Alright! Alright! We'll be there in about.. 10 minutes"
"Thank you!!"
10 minutes later, they arrived on a planet that looked almost exactly like earth besides all the aliens
"Wow"
"Allow me to get us checked in, now please do not fight. Any acts of violence on this planet and we will be banned" Fugitoid walked away, leaving the teenagers and Preston with Shady.
"Ray, you heard him"
"Shut up, boneless"
Remus rolled his eyes as Fugitoid walked back over to them, with a key.
"We have a room for tonight, unfortunately there aren't enough beds for everyone"
"So we're bunking again?"
"Pretty much"
"Yay!! A sleepover!!"
The group walked into the room and at first it looked like a generic hotel room until they saw a large fridge and large table that was filled with different foods from different planets.
"Wow!!"
"Huh, not bad"
Shady walked into the rooms and placed pairs of clothes for each of the kids in the drawers with her magic, she then handed each teenager and one baby a bathing suit.
"We're gonna go swimming and since the water has healing properties, we may as well-!"
"I called the bathroom first!"
"No, me first!!"
Shady sighed and rubbed her head, "Donnie better not want another child, I have at least eight teenagers and a baby right here"
".. Coral once threw that idea out there"
Shady looked at Fugitoid, confused, "Coral? And... Children in the same sentence?"
"I believe she meant it as a joke but.. when you mentioned not wanting another.. I thought of that conversation"
"Well, me and Donnie always had a plan, once his science career would take off, we would raise Aubrey to have opportunities we didn't and well, we both came from a family of multiple siblings so at one point we did have that conversation before I... You know"
"I understand.. I wonder what would happen if Coral and I saw each other again"
"She would most likely punch you" Leah snickered.
"Then debate if she should punch you again or kiss you"
"Then she would decide to kiss ya and then kill Uncle Casey and Uncle Nightshade for teasing her"
"Ah.. I wouldn't mind if that happened"
"Well... Coral was basically like a second parent to me but if I'm being honest?" Leah smiled and looked at him, "I always felt like she was missing a part of her, she would always look through telescopes or just lay under the night sky, like she was looking for something"
"Really?"
"Mmm Hmm, and I look at you and it feels like you're missing a piece of yourself too"
"Heh.. maybe in another life we could be together"
Shady patted his shoulder, "Maybe" She smiled.
"We're all changed!"
"And Tony and Mus are drooling!"
"No, we're not!!"
Lena cackled then she looked at Ray, Leah, Sera, and Aubrey, "Wait a damn minute... You guys have shell prints on your back?!"
"Yes.. and?"
"I thought you guys just looked like your moms! Why do you hide this sh** from us!"
"50% comes from our moms and the other from our dads, this is part of our dads"
"Plus, we just don't wear backless clothes"
"Yes and also Lena will break every boundaries in the book to find out what else we can do"
"Don't hide sh** and I won't break anything!"
"Too late"
"Who's ready to go to the pool!"
"We are!!"
The team ran into the pool, jumping and sighed in relief as they felt all their injuries heal including Remus's broken wings.
"How do you feel?"
"So much better now that those stupid bruises are gone" Ray began purring as she sunk her head deeper into the water to the point only her eyes, ears and tail were sticking out of the water.
"You can swim?"
"I am half-turtle, Lena" Ray closed her eyes and she realized that Lena was closer, "Fine, when I was younger I used to be the top swimmer at least in underground mutant clubs, Uncle Casey would take me all the time, ya happy?"
"That means you can dive!"
"I'm not gonna dive."
"But you could though!"
"I'm not gonna do it, besides this is supposed to be relaxing so shut up and relax."
"Sounds like someone could use a spa"
"I'm not going with you to the spa princess."
"Oh come on, Aubrey is at the hot tub with Aunt Shady and Sera is going to hang out in the kiddie pool with Preston and Lena, Phillip is hanging out with Tony and Remus"
"This is how I want to relax, let me relax."
Leah looked at her, "Noah wouldn't mind if you were freshly groomed-!"
"So, the spa, you said?"
Leah giggled as she and Ray walked over to the spa with Fugitoid guiding them.
"Remus, you seem very relaxed"
"This feels great, I can move my wings again"
Tony chuckled and handed him beach ball, "It amazes me how I'm not in pain, usually hot water burns me"
"Well, enjoy not being in pain"
Remus tossed the beach ball at Phillip who then tossed it to Tony, they continued playing three-way dodge ball until Phillip and Tony noticed Nymph.
"What's up with you two?"
"Remus, is it normal for human females to be talking with a male while having a partner?" Tony raised an eyebrow as he continued watching Nymph.
"Um.."
"He's trying to say that a guy is flirting with your girl"
"Phillip!"
"What?! You made it sound more complicated than it needed to be!"
Remus spun around and he felt his inner Japanese anger boil as he saw an alien male talking with Nymph.
"Remus, do not do anything stupid, we don't want to get kicked out"
"I'm fine. I'm calm." Remus slowly crawled out of the pool, he walked over to the two, "Just stay calm."
Nymph groaned and rolled her eyes, "Please, excuse me, My crew are waiting"
"Aww, you sure you can't stay and talk a little longer?"
"I'm sure, besides they're probably worried" Nymph tried to leave but the alien stopped her just for a moment.
"Well, how about I get your name and number and we could go out? There's a nice bar with a pool!"
"Or..." Remus wrapped his arms and wings around Nymph, "I get your name and number and I tell the front desk that you are trying to force my wife into doing something she does not want to do and you could get banned." He smiled innocently.
"I-I.. fine."
Nymph looked at Remus, not hiding her blush and grin at all, "Aww, is sweet, calm, Mussy jealous?"
"Jealous? Me? I'm not jealous at all"
"Really?" Nymph turned around and rubbed his cheeks, "Because I read that birds puff their feathers up when they are jealous"
"Actually, birds puff their feathers up for other reasons, mostly to keep warm and to impress a mate-!"
"Aww!! You were trying to impress your girlfriend!" Phillip cackled as Tony gave him a smug grin.
"My and I thought my species were possessive"
"I wasn't being possess-!"
"What did we miss?"
Sera and Lena walked up behind them, with Lena holding Preston.
"Someone was jealous~"
"I was not." Remus gritted his teeth.
"Yes you were"
"No! Sweet and calm Mussy and jealous in the same sentence?"
"I was not jealous! Let's go find Fugitoid, he said he made dinner reservations!"
"Yes you were! We're getting the others in on it! Hey dorks!!"
"Leah and Ray are at the spa, Aunt Shady and Aubrey are probably heading to the room to change, come on" Remus grumbled as his face turned pink from embarrassment.
"Ray and spa in the same sentence?"
"Apparently!"
A few minutes later
Ray purred and turned bright red as an alien was massaging all her muscles while Leah was getting her nails painted.
"Told you so"
"S-S-Shut up, oh, that's the knot that's been bugging me" Ray looked at Leah and realized that she shaved the bottom of her hair into an undercut, "Undercut?"
"It'll grow back, this is more manageable"
"I'm getting a picture of you and showing aunt Karai and Light when we go home"
"You do that, Ray" Leah snickered and realized that Ray got her nails painted black, "Huh, always thought red was you're lucky color"
"Though I'd change it into something different, plus.. black might be lucky"
"Huh, okay"
"No way!!" The two girls looked up as they saw the rest of the team watching them.
"Never thought I'd see you two getting along this well, in a spa nonetheless"
"Shut up" Ray grumbled as she switched out of the robe and back into the bathing suit, "This was... Fun, I guess"
"Mmm hmm, what are you all doing here?"
"Getting the both of you to come get dinner, Fugitoid made reservations and apparently the place is fancy"
"So, head back to the hotel and change?"
"Into what? All we got is our normal clothes and our space suits"
"I've got an answer for that, come with me"
The team followed after Shady, who led them to a clothing store.
"Each of you have 50 million zemulaks, use them wisely."
"Ooh, okay!!"
"Shopping trip!!"
About 30 minutes later, Fugitoid was waiting outside the restaurant.
"Where are they? We're about to lose our reservation-!"
"We're here"
"Perfect! Let's.. wow"
Each of them were wearing a specific outfit to fit their personalities, of course one thing that they all had in common were the Hamato Symbol stitched onto their jackets.
"You all look amazing!"
"Thank you, now let's eat. I'm starving!!"
"Who wants to hear Mus getting jealous!"
"For the last time Phillip, I wasn't jealous!"
"Yes you were, admit it!!"
The team cackled as they ate their food, enjoying the story Tony and Phillip were telling them.
"Damn dad! Even if you're calm, you went for that alien's blood!"
"Oh god, I regret everything"
"Don't regret it! It was hot and I'm not afraid to say sexy!"
"Nymph, come on, we're at a restaurant" Leah groaned as she stared at the couple.
"Hey, let me compliment my husband in peace"
Ray raised her eyebrow, "Husband?" She grinned evilly.
"Ooh! Ray has a grin on her face!"
"Guess I should give y'all these then" Ray pulled out candy wedding rings which made the table roar with laughter.
"Oh no you didn't Ray!"
"I had too!"
The team continued to have a fun night, no more high speed chases, no more arena fights, no more nightmares, this was a perfect night.
