The girls travel for 20 minutes to a small town and are then prepped for a teleport 50 miles away. The girls are warned about the cold weather at the base of this volcano and decide to put on some winter clothes. As they walk past 1 woman who had a pair of cat-eye glasses the woman stops in her tracks and focuses on Citra. The woman stares at her as she and her team are teleported away.

As the girls arrive at the base of this Mountain, they are all hit with the cold. Keomi takes the lead and leads them to a nearby onsen that was about a half mile away.

When the woman see the hot springs, they rip off their clothes and hop in and warm up.

Zephyr who was in the water first looks over at Misty and laughs.

“Why did you have to become an Ice Mage? With Ryan gone you could have been the hot water heater if you were a Fire mage” Zephyr says while she sinks her shoulders down into the milky white water and relaxes.

“Ice mage was my cup of tea at the time I learned magic” Misty replies.

Citra, who was in her human female form hops in and elects to hold Zara while her mother relaxes in the water. Kannell who looks at the sky above them then sees a squad of 4 Succubus fly over them and onto the top of the mountain that was towering above them.

“After this bath is over let’s go for a hike up the mountain. It’ll be fun” Kannell tells the girls.

“If you want, we can do that. We can later glide off of it and have some fun like we did at Mt. Cheat” Zephyr says with confidence.

“That sounds really fun, I’m in. Afterword I want to see the culture this place has to offer instead” Misty tells her.

“Okay, that’s fine with me” Kannell says as she looks up at the towering peak above her.

“Keomi, where can we go for some music and theater around here” Misty asks her.

“Ahh, our teleport mages inside have some great insight they can give you after you take your bath” Keomi explains.

“Well then, this vacation day just got more exciting after we take our hike up there” Kannell tells her.

“You all will have to take the hike up there yourselves unfortunately. I will need to head back to the beach resort and do something for a few hours in the meantime” Keomi informs them.

“Well, that sucks!” Zephyr says while getting out of the water and giving her a hug.

“The hike is amazing in my opinion. But I’d be careful. Something has been going on recently that has been luring all the demons to the top of the volcano. Be careful” Keomi says as she walks away from the group and heads inside the building that was adjacent to the hot spring.

“Well I will see you later! After we get back, I’ll tell you more about my kingdom” Zephyr shouts at her as Keomi closes the door.

The girls enjoy the warm hot spring for 20 minutes then get out and rush inside that building to escape the cold. Everyone except Zephyr. She was walking at a leisurely pace in the snow all soaking wet and covered with her towel.

“You Crazy fucking Lyieku, get your ass in here! You’re making me feel cold!” Kannell screams at her from inside the building.

Zephyr giggles and decides to take off her towel and lay down in the snow and make a snow angel just to annoy her.

Kannell shuts the sliding door on her and decides dry off and put on her clothes along with Citra, Misty, and Zara.

Zephyr comes in about 4 minutes later and grabs a towel and dries off. After they were all dressed, the woman start their trek up this volcano mountain.

They spend 4 hours trekking straight up the mountain and stopping every 30 minutes to take a break.

With the girls talking to each other about Ryan’s Actions, Zephyr explaining who Arcadia really is to Misty and Kannell, and Citra talking about Greena’s Absence, the girls do their best to make time go by faster. They even start singing songs they listened to previously from Ryan’s phone.

The woman were about 300 yards to the top and they were all singing “High Hopes” From Panic! At The Disco and having fun as they reached the apex of the mountain. As they walk over and look down over the crater into the lava abyss below, an angry blonde-haired succubus flies up the side of volcano from behind Citra and bashes her over the edge into the volcano below. Citra quickly switches to her Demon form and sprouts her wings and hovers in the air, but that same angry blonde woman collides with her and forces her on a secret ledge below.

Kannell and Zephyr see this and Kannell enchants herself with [Slow Fall] and dives down into the mouth of the volcano to help Citra. Zephyr quickly jumps with her and onto Kannell’s back and rides down to that ledge with her. Misty and Zara stay up top and Misty holds onto Zara and gets away from the mouth of the volcano.

Citra who was being attacked on this ledge fights back when Kannell casts [Arcane Shockwave] and blasts the other demon off of her. Zephyr quickly leaps off of Kannell in midfall and dives at the other woman. Zephyr who was unarmed sends a falling kick right to the woman’s face and knocks her down. Citra then was able to pull out her weapons from the void below. She pulls out her 2-hand sword and charges right at her and with one clean hit, Citra slices her open and kicks her into the lava below.

Kannell comes gliding in, and lands on this ledge with them. The girls turn their attention behind them and notices a whole entire chamber located within.

They see an approaching shadowy silhouette of a demon headed to them, and Citra looks over at Zephyr and activates her weapons vault ability. Citra yanks 2 daggers from the abyss and tosses them at Zephyr, and then Zephyr activates [Stealth]. Zephyr fades from sight and walks toward the demon. As the demon walks around the corner, it revels 2 incubi’s talking. Zephyr quickly knocks one of them out, and when that demon falls over, his buddy looks over at Zephyr and appears confused. Suddenly Citra comes out of nowhere with her sword and destroys him. Zephyr on the other hand grabs the Knocked-out demon and drags him over the edge and tosses him into the lava.

The girls then huddle up.

“Crap I guess they know I am here” Citra whispers

“I guess so. But we need to get out of here” Kannell whispers back.

“Maybe there is an exit on the other side of this chamber, lets go check it out” Zephyr whispers to the girls.

Everyone looks at Zephyr and nods. They quietly follow the path into the other chamber and are then are treated to a surprise. Infront of them lie a secret meeting full of 150 succubus and incubus. The demons were all listening to a lecture from the lead Succubus. Behind her was a weird pink and green “X” shaped dimensional rift.

the demon was lecturing her acolytes.

“Lady Yulee wants us to start enforcing her sect more aggressively onto the citizens of this nation. She really needs the followers so she can overthrow Mriya. Its now more then ever important to do this since Queen Lilith is going to be gone for a little while longer” The head Succubus said.

Suddenly behind her 10 more succubus walk out through that glowing rift.

The head Succubus then turns around and greets them.

“Welcome to Cheetoecchi. You may find this place more suiting than Hell. Say hello to all your brothers and sisters” the leader says to them. The freshly arrived Demons look around and appear confused.

Kannell who sees this room full of succubus and incubi gets angry. She has a flashback of the night she spent with Noodle protecting Ryan from those random beasts from harm throughout that night. She remembers his face and him holding her before they went to sleep when It was Zephyrs turn to take on guard duty.

Kannell then snaps out of her trance and gets filled with hate and anger. She hops down from the ledge and takes aim at the celling. There was a weird mace- shaped rock that was held up be an unusual thin section of rock. She severs the band of rock and the huge 400-ton boulder comes down onto the left side of the chamber. This crushes 50 demons instantly and then Kannell Activates her [Mana shield].

The demons look over at her and the other girls and Kannell starts releasing hell upon them.

Kannell starts singing “Superhero” By Falling In Reverse inside her head and keeps the image of Noodle inside her head. She starts releasing a flurry of Arcane attacks onto the demons.

The demons immediately start counter attacking.

“Kannell! We are supposed to be taking a vacation! Not Fighting!” Zephyr screams as she jumps up and cuts a Succubus out of the air.

Kannell doesn’t even respond back and keeps obliterating the horde of Demons that were flying toward her. She manages to cut down most of the room in pure rage but suddenly all the girls become charmed by the lead Incubus. The girls become tranced and are forced to kneel before the angry lead incubus. Citra who was in her Human form unaffected by the Incubus’s charm raises his eyebrows at her. She then slowly walks towards him and through 4 succubus that were getting ready to cut down the paralyzed girls and then Citra smiles. She activates her weapon locker spell and pulls out her 2 handed sword. She then morphs back into a Succubus and takes a wide hard cleave around her and cuts down the 4 unsuspecting Succubi. She then leaps up and at the Master incubus and knocks him out of the Air. As she knocks him down, this breaks the spell effect that was on the other 2 girls.

Zephyr gets back onto her feet and charges at the Incubus. She cuts and stabs him while Citra focus on trying to cut off his wings with her 2 handed sword.

The lead Succubus who sees this assault on her partner realizes this ambush is now unwinnable. She gives the order to evacuate with 40 other Succubi and leaves him alone to fend for himself.

As the demons take to the air like a flock of bats, Kannell who was still enraged starts casting [Nexus Explosion] at the fleeing succubus. The enormous shockwave and blast shoots down 21 fleeing Succubi. After she lands that hit on them, she switches her focus to the main incubus boss that the other 2 were fighting. As she keeps humming this song inside her head she locks on to the demon and fires [Arcane Salvo] at him. As she rapidly releases missiles that detonate on impact at the demon it stuns him long enough for Citra to sever one of his wings. As the clipped wing hits the ground he screams in excruciating pain. The girls knowing he can’t escape via flight now, then double teams him and plunge both their blades into him.

Kannell who charges up one more powerful gives the girls a chance to get out of the way. When Kannell lets loose her supercharged [Arcane Salvo] spell again, the incoming bolts shatter like glass and critically hurts him. After the last bolt hits him the Incubus’s health reaches 0. He then turns to dust. As the Dust starts to crumple on the ground a strange essence emits from all the dead demons in the room.

Citra and Zephyr who retrieved their weapons from within the pile of ashes, slowly walks over to Kannell who fell down to her knees crying.

They all hug her and comfort her.

“You wanted to kill every single one of them, to avenge noodle. Didn’t you?” Citra says to Kannell

“Yes I did. But Now That I slaughtered most of them, I still feel a big hole in my heart. I still miss him dearly!” Kannell cries out to them.

“I’m sorry Hun. Rampaging doesn’t heal wounds. Time does. I learned that the hard way” Citra says while morphing into her human form.

The girls huddle up and just hold each other for 3 minutes in silence while Kannell calms down.

Suddenly in comes a Coral Brown-haired Succubus that lands before them.

The girls get ready to fight her, but the woman holds her arms up I the air.

“Wait! Hang on! I’m not with them! Citra! do you recognize me?” The woman says while looking Citra into her eyes.

Citra analyzes her and then realizes who she is.

“Monika?” Citra said appearing perplexed

“Yes, Its me! We need to get you all out of here. Katsuki has put a hit on you and your friends” Monika says while looking over her shoulder.

“Wait what’s going on?” Zephyr asked.

“That lead succubus you let get away. She’s about to make your life hell here. We need to get you to Emperor Jimirushi like right now” Monika informs them.

“Hang on, where is Misty and Zara?” Kannell asked.

“Were right here” Misty said in the background. She then comes around the corner with a few scratches and bruises on her.

“What happened to you!” Citra asked in shock.

“2 Incubus thought they would take me on. I dealt with them swiftly to protect me kid” Misty informed them.

“Wait how did you get down here?” Zephyr asked next.

“Glided down here under Monika’s advice. She helped me in that fight” Misty replied.

All the girls then look over at Monika and give her a weird look.

“Hey, you have teleportation, let me give you the coordinates you need to teleport to” Monika said while placing her hand on Kannell’s head in a hurry.

Kannell then gets an image in her head and suddenly feels like she’s been to this place before.

All the woman huddle around her and Kannell teleports them out and to a faraway town. The team then run to a nearby teleportation mage and shows them their VIP red cards. The mage then plots a plan to get them to the capital town of Waifuoshii.

The mage sends them off to the relay network of mages toward the capital. They take 3 teleports across the great island and arrive at the royal teleportation’s mages office.

Monika who was leading the way, swiftly leads them to the emperor.

Inside the emperor’s chamber was standing Keomi.

The emperor who was happy to see them smiles.

“Well then. I didn’t know that letting you all into my country meant you all were going to handle our little demon problem. Queen Lake sure did send me a surprise. I thank all of you for killing off all the incubi on this island and reducing the population of Succubi down to just a handful. I shall prepare an assault team to eliminate them immediately. Emperor Jimirushi said while extending his arm out Monika.

Monika bows down to him and a formation of female guards dressed in red walk in in formation with spears. They then stand in a battle-ready formation and tap their spears down to the ground all at once.

“With the Incubus master dead and his minions gone, both sexes in my kingdom can’t get charmed at the same time. My Female guard can handle the rest of them. We will hunt them and bring peace back to my kingdom” The Emperor said while smiling at his guard.

“We are willing to help” Kannell said with a brave tone.

Emperor Jimirushi looks at Kannell and shacks his head at her.

“I’m afraid you cannot. The dark witch Katsuki has already started putting out a bounty on you all within her hidden network of citizens. I need you all to get out of this nation as soon as possible. I’ll give you all a small ship you all can use to escape back to Tempo, but due to the intelligence I have on Katsuki’s go-to list I’ll need you all to pilot the ship on your own. Its nothing you can’t handle on your own Lieutenant Frostproof” Emperor Jimirushi said with a smile.

Kannell smiles at him and bows her head at him.

“Great, thanks for ruining our vacation Kannell” Zephyr said sarcastically. She then looks at Emperor Jimirushi

“Emperor Jimirushi, if we are being relocated for our safety, on behalf of the Lyieku kingdom, may I personally request a transfer of one of your servants to my royal court?” Zephyr asks him.

“For what you and your team have done today, you may take my whole kitchen staff if you want” He said sarcastically.

“I appreciate that offer, but I only need one person. Will you dismiss Keomi to me? I want to use them in my parent’s castle as a royal servant. I like how Keomi is passionate about learning about my kind. I want to reward her for her kindness toward me” Zephyr asked him.

“Sure thing Princess Thickmane. Keomi you are released” He tells her.

Keomi smiles at Zephyr and gives her a huge hug.

“Thank you! Thank You!! Thank you!!! This is an amazing opportunity you have given me Zephyr!” Keomi said while squeezing her tight.

During that hug Zephyr then takes a minute to smell Keomi and something didn’t seem right about her. Zephyr then thinks about Arcadia and Ryan and what they did behind her back and then she looks at Keomi and has a funny idea.

“Alright. Its settled. Let’s head out girls” Zephyr said while putting her arm around Keomi and smiling at her excitedly. The Royal mage then comes into the room and teleports them to a harbor that was 15 miles away from them.

The girls quickly board a small 25-foot sailboat and Kannell does the rest of the work from there.

As they pull out of the harbor Zephyr looks at the map Kannell was reading and smiles.

“Aren’t we like 60 miles from my kingdom?” Zephyr askes Kannell.

Kannell looks over the map and the gap between the city of Waifuoshii and Phoenix, Wyozonia was pretty small.

“Instead of sailing for a few days back to Tempo, lets dock at Port Hope over in Wyozonia. I can get us a teleport to Flagpole, drop Keomi off, use my parents Teleport mages and then get us returned home by tomorrow morning”

Kannell and the other girls smile at Zephyrs Idea, and nod in agreement.

“Sounds like a plan!” Kannell said while adjusting the course of the boat from East to North. As she does that the mast of the ship swings around and Kannell adjusts the sails to ride the wind Downwind for the next 60 miles.

“I can’t wait for you to meet my boyfriend. You two will eventually meet sometime” Zephyr says to Keomi.

“The one that cheated on you?” She said seeming confused.

“Yep, that one!” Zephyr said while guiding her below deck. “When you get to my capital, its best if you don’t mention that he cheated on me to my parents” Zephyr resumes while they walk down the stairs

The rest of the girls all then head below deck and leave the sailing all up Kannell.

8 hours later early in the morning the girls arrive at Port Hope. Zephyr works her magic and gets a teleport to Phoenix. Her party then gets teleported over to her capital city Flagpole and meets with her parents. She walks into her parents room while they were both sleeping and wakes them up.

“Sorry to wake you all, but this is going to be really quick. We just came back from Cheetoechhi, and I brought back a friend I want working in the castle. Her name is Keomi and She is pretty cool. Give her a chance to prove herself. She wants to learn about our ways” Zephyr tells them.

Zephyr then rubs her dads head playfully and walks out of the room.

“Keomi your in. Talk to the chefs. They will help get you started. My only tip I can give you is Avoid my mom when she’s bitchy. Other then that. I will see you in like 3 weeks” Zephyr said while giving Keomi a hug.

She then rushes over to her friends who were waiting by the royal Teleportation mages and they both teleport out of the castle and make their way toward their home in Staug.

When the woman arrive at Staug, they all decide to stop at Breanna’s Inn and grab breakfast.

Zephyr swaps stories with Breanna for a little while then Kannell teleports them all home. They then find Liz on the floor of the living room passed out and several royal documents spread out over the room.
