A/N: Hey, everyone! I'm sorry it took me so long to update this, but I've been busy with reality which isn't that bad when I'm doing stuff my way.
Warning: In the end of the fight, it will be a bit bloody for those who don't like a lot of it. If you do, continue to read even though it's a really short blood scene in this fic.
But it still counts!
The same thing with the following chapter I will try and post later. I'm not sure when, but I will post it! I can promise you fans that.
I also want to thank you guys for being so patient with me and doing these fics. (bows)
Well, now I've got that off my chest, enjoy!
Fiona opened her eyes to see Leah sleeping with her head against the fighter's chest and arms wrapped around her waist. The ogress let out a yawn, along with a sigh while stretching her arms out as Leah opened her eyes from it and saw the little sight in front of her. Fiona knew Leah was up and smiled at this before ruffling the wolf girl's hair that made Leah laugh who ran a hand through the Xena warrior's red hair.
"Good Morning," Fiona said.
"Good Morning, Fi-Fi," Leah said with a yawn behind it.
"Slept well, Kid?"
Leah nodded and nuzzled herself in Fiona's neck. "I slept real well thanks to you."
Fiona chuckled at that before letting out another yawn and smiled at Leah smiling at her. For some reason, Leah would somehow make Fiona smile or be happy one way or another. Leah is usually the quiet one between her and Carley. Most of the time if Leah doesn't express it verbally, the fighter does thing for Fiona non-verbally that make the red-head smile no matter what it is.
Leah then let out a quiet yawn that made Fiona snap out of her daydream who saw Leah get out of bed, stretching herself, the wolf girl turned to Fiona and said, "Thanks for last night."
Fiona smiled while laying on the bed and propping her head against her right hand. Her hair was messy from sleeping who wasn't wearing any clothes except for a pair of black boxers and no bra. Leah has seen Fiona without any clothes on more than one occasion so Leah was use to it as the ogress lightly ruffled Leah's hair again.
"You're welcome. It's been a while after all and I don't mind if you ask me either," Fiona quietly said who then sat up with the blanket covering her chest and gave Leah a kiss on her forehead, "I'll see you around breakfast time."
"Okay," Leah smiled before quietly walking passed Snow White who was still sleeping according to what the dark brown-haired woman saw. Snow was able to see the cute little scene who was trying not to let that bother her, but unfortunately, it did for the blue-eyed human.
Snow has been like this for the last couple of days whenever Fiona's around Leah. Leah would always jump and tackle Fiona in a playful way who didn't seem to be bothered by it at all. It was like whatever was bothering the Xena fighter, Leah would always be there to cheer Fiona up. During that time Fiona was training Snow, Snow White began to develop a crush on the ogress warrior. No one else knew about it but herself as Snow heard Fiona sigh happily, stretch in the bed and stand up out of the mattress. Fiona's red hair was messier than it usually is who wore a pair of black boxer shorts and no bra as the fighter was scratching her scarred stomach and letting out a quiet yawn. Snow could feel her face turn red from the sight who was pretending to sleep, but was able to open her eyes enough to not be noticed by Fiona as the little scene Fiona showed was cute. That was also the first time Snow White ever saw Fiona actually wake up like that because most of the time, the freedom fighter was awake before Snow was and training for a bit before waking Snow up.
Today, however, was different because normally, Fiona would have an annoyed or angry look on her face throughout the day. Now, as Snow White continued to watch, she sees Fiona is actually... calm and happy; especially in the morning and that's saying something. The ebony-haired ningen continued to secretly watch Fiona change into different training clothes for the day until Snow decides she had her fill of sight seeing and sat herself up.
"So, you're awake without me doing so for you," Fiona said when she saw Snow putting some other clothes on.
"Yeah. I guess I just felt like getting up on my own today," Snow half lied as Fiona shrugged at that while Snow White stretched from being stiff. The ebony-haired woman sees Fiona walking out of the room who asks, "Where are you going?" Seeing Fiona turn her head a bit so Snow was only seeing one scarred cheek and blue eye before answering the question.
"Breakfast. Cookie's making it today so it's crucial for everyone to get to the Mess Hall before it's all eaten," Fiona said as Snow nodded with an 'oh' behind it, "You coming or what?"
Snow's stomach then growled when Fiona asked. "Uh, y-yeah." Putting on her other shoe after putting the other one on, Snow got up and walked out of the room with the red-headed warrior ahead of her.
Everyone was in the mess hall eating breakfast. Luckily, Fiona and Snow White made it in time for the feast as Snow saw different types of food served. Some tables severed Weed Rats, different types of raw, well done, to medium rare meat. Plus regular foods like eggs, bacon, and sausage. Slugs, worms, boiled eggs, boiled eyeballs, few pitchers of apple and orange juice. Biscuits with butter, along with different varieties of peanut butter that include a few that have chocolate mixed in it (no lie), strawberry and grape jam, pancakes, waffles, whipped cream, syrup, and chocolate chips.
Snow got the foods that she knew and recognized while Fiona, Leah, Carley, Ogre Child, and Konjia who comes and goes to help the cause when her village Drewhen is doing okay ate like there was no tomorrow. The ebony-haired woman was surprised at how many plates and bowls they finished so quickly. A few times, Leah would turn into a werewolf while eating a few pieces of raw meat from losing a few fights against Ogre Child and Carley with some of the steaks. Ogre Child and Carley were especially eating up all of the peanut-butter when it was on a warm piece of toast.
"Wow. You guys have really big appetites," Snow said to the fighters while eating her bowl and sitting next to Fiona.
"Yeah. We train more than we eat so when it's time to eat, we eat as much as we can until we can't eat another bite," Carley said after swallowing some of the meat she had in her mouth.
"Yep! Just like Sayians from DragonBall Z and GT. The only thing we can't do is fly in the air and turn into Super Sayains like them," Leah said as Konjia (my creation from Drewhen) and she were fighting over the chocolate syrup.
"Quit hogging the chocolate syrup!" Konjia said.
"But I'm not done with it yet!" Leah half whined.
"I haven't even had any of it yet! So, let go!"
"No! You let go!"
Ogre Child shook her head at the fight Leah and Konjia were having while eating melted peanut-butter with chocolate mixed with it.
"Aren't you guys worried about how much food you guys eat?" Snow White wondered drinking the remainder of her orange juice.
"Like Her Highness said: We fight more than we eat sometimes so when Cookie makes the food, we eat as much as we can until we're full," Ogre Child said biting down on a piece of turkey ham.
"Yeah, what she said," Leah said drinking a cup of hot chocolate that left a rim around her lips.
Fiona saw this and laughed, wiping Leah's mouth with a napkin as the wolf girl smiled a fangy grin on her face who felt Fiona put a hand on top of her head. Snow saw this who began to feel the same anger and envy from this morning towards Leah, but then vanished when she heard someone say from behind her, "Ya'll enjoyin' my cookin' I see." that made Snow turn to see a green-skinned ogre wearing a chief's hat and apron.
"Cookie-chan!" Leah said jumping from her seat to where the female chief was and giving her a hug.
"Hey, girl! I see you're doin' well," Cookie said as Leah looked up and gave her a smile.
"Yep! I've been doing well, very well," She said as Cookie ran a hand through the dark-haired half breed and continued to eat her food.
"Hey, Cook," Fiona said.
"Hey, Fiona," Cookie said seeing Snow White eating, "Is she the human you were talkin' about?"
"Yeah, that's Snow White. She's been sleeping in my room since I brought her here when the guards were heading our way," Fiona said.
"Ah, I see now. Nice to meet you. I'm Cookie, the chief," Cookie introduced herself to Snow.
"Likewise. I'm Snow White." Snow shakes the ogre cook's hand as everyone was finishing their dishes Cookie made for everyone. "The food you made is really good."
"Why thank you. I was taught by my Ma to cook any kind of food by hand. It's easier than just buying it from some shop."
"Ain't that the truth," Leah commented as Carley agreed by nodding her head from her mouth being full of food.
After the resistance was done eating their food, they went back to doing their everyday routines. Training, relaxing, sleeping, talking amongst themselves, and slacking off a bit. Fiona and Snow hung out with each other so Fiona could teach the human different types of fighting moves, along with a couple of Martial Arts moves like Tai-justu and Jujutsu. It helped the ebony-haired woman forget about the little ordeal that occurred this morning with Fiona and Leah sleeping in the same bed together since last night. She didn't know why it bothered her so much when the red head ogress and the half werewolf female hung out as much as they did.
Was she... jealous of-
Just then, the alarms were going off that made Snow White stop her thoughts of envy. "Wh-What's going on?"
"Rumple's guards and witches are attacking the hideout," Fiona said pulling out her sword, axe, and switchblade as Snow saw other ogres running out to the front of HQ.
"What are we going to do?"
"What do you think?" Fiona throws Snow a gun who was able to catch it. "Fight!"
Outside, it was total chaos. Witches were flying everywhere throwing bombs in different areas of the ground as other ogres were shooting some of them down and numerous guards charged at the resistance who did the same with them attacking the guards with swords, knives, guns, whatever weaponry they had with them. Leah, Carley, and Ogre Child were in the fight helping as Leah saw Fiona and Snow came out of the door.
Fiona and Snow were both surprised at the amount of guards and witches there were as people from the resistance were getting injured along with the guards and witches.
"What the hell?" Fiona muttered in shock
"Fiona!" Leah yelled as the red-head ogre and the ebony-haired human turned to see the half breed wolf jumping and leaping from the madness that was occurring, along with knocking a few of the enemies out until she was where Fiona and Snow were. Leah was in her werewolf form as a few areas of her dark brown fur had blood from fights she was in.
"Leah, what's going on?" Fiona asked.
"I don't know. Carley and Ogre Child were on guard duty when they suddenly saw hundreds of guards and witches trying to take them down," Leah explained turning back into her human form as Snow was able to see numerous open cuts and burnt marks on her body. She was surprised Leah wasn't on the ground from the battle wounds being so severe.
"Where's Carley and Ogre Child?"
Leah points to where Ogre Child was wearing her red Chinese Dragon Armour and holding a red sphere of fire. She then threw it towards the enemy threat that left a huge explosion, along with guards and witches screaming from the bomb. Carley was in her dragon form taking down thirty to forty guards heading her way. She was now in her human form with a gun shooting upcoming guards who were about to attack her, along with using a sword if needed.
"How's everyone holding out?" Fiona asked.
"Half of them had to be hospitalized because of their wounds being so severe," Leah said.
"Right. Snow and I are going to help you guys right now," Fiona said pulling out her sword.
"Good. We need all the help we can get." Leah pulled out her double-edged sword before jumping in the air and throwing it in the crowd.
"Well, Snow, this is your chance to show me what you've learned," Fiona said.
"Uh, y-yeah."
"Let's go!" Fiona runs into the fight, disappearing into the dust.
It took a while for Snow White to figure out what was going on before pulling out her guns, clicking them back and running to join the others in the battle field. Throughout the fights everyone was going across, the resistance was beginning to win against Rumple's guards and witches with the help of Fiona, and re-enforcements, along with Snow White fighting some of them back.
About an hour or two of non-stop fighting, Snow White was beginning to get tired. She's never fought this long before who failed to see an upcoming witch heading her way until the very last moment. She tried using her guns, but she was out of bullets in both of them who braced herself to be hit until she heard the witch scream that made the blue-eyed woman open her eyes to see Carley kicking the witch hard across the face and fall to the ground. There, Snow saw Leah charging towards the fallen witch who was running away from the half-breed, but fell as Leah sent the witch to the ground tumbling somewhere in the fight.
"You alright?" Carley asked Snow helping her up.
"Yeah, I think."
"Here." Carley hands the human an AK47 gun. "Use this by whatever means possible."
"But why are you-"
"Carley!" Leah yelled running to where her friend and Snow White were. "It's time for Plan B."
"Plan B?" Snow White wondered.
"But we haven't practiced that technique. The last time we did it, your arm was broken," Carley said with concern.
"Don't worry. I made some modifications to the technique," Leah said with a smile on her face that's reassuring.
It took a while for Carley to make sure her friend was telling her before nodding. "Okay. If you're sure."
"Alright. Follow me." Leah takes Carley by the hand and runs with her within the crowd of war.
Snow was wondering what those two were doing but began firing at the sky when witches were flying in the air and attacking her. She began shooting at them as from a different area of the battle field, Fiona could see Leah and Carley in the center of the area. The read head didn't know what the two half breeds were doing until she saw Leah detach her metal leg and Carley forming a sphere of Arian magic.
"Don't tell me they're... " Fiona made sure what she was seeing was correct who watched when Carley put the sphere into the metal leg that turned into a gun. Then a huge amount of dark blue chakra surrounded Leah as it was going into the weapon that held ammo. "It is." Fiona pulls out her walkie talkie and calls, "Brogan, tell everyone to fall back."
"Fall back? But what about Rumple's guards? They're outnumbering us!"
"If you value your life and your dignity, you do as I say!"
"Y-Yes, Ma'am. I don't want to re-live that trauma again."
"Then, tell everyone to fall back," Fiona told Brogan through the walkie talkie.
"U-Understood."
Fiona put her walkie talkie away and told everyone to fall back. Half of the fighters didn't understand why Fiona was ordering everyone to retreat until they saw Leah and Carley in the center of the field. Brogan was telling everyone on his half to run back inside as Leah was running low on chakra in her human form.
"Not... enough!" She grows canine teeth before turning into a werewolf as the dark chakra continued to flow faster in the gun leg until it was completely full. "Okay, Carley, turn into a dragon and fly me in the air."
"Right." Carley turns into a dragon, grabs Leah by her left arm and begins to fly in the air until Leah told her to stop. "So what now? The guards are heading towards the hideout."
"Give me a second," Leah said aiming her gun to the 270 foot drop as the soldiers and witches were coming closer.
This was making Carley a bit nervous. "L-Leah-chan..."
"Just a little bit further. I need them to be a the exact spot for me to fire this gun." Leah remained still with the gun in her hands as the sphere was forming around the area that's about to be fired.
When the attackers were in Leah's range of fire, she pulled the trigger and released a huge beam of Arian magic and dark blue chakra. One of the guards saw the bright light who was about to yell until it was too late. The beam hit them dead on who was frozen in place before exploding where a huge shock wave of chakra and magic followed afterwards. The movement covered themselves and one another from the explosion that engulfed anyone and anything around it. Bright light emitted from the attach that made Leah put her goggles over her eyes so she was able to see and Carley covered her eyes until the light and huge gust of wind died down. When that happened, everyone saw Rumple's guards and witches which were attacking the movement gone. Nothing was left of any of them as Fiona was the first person to walk out of the hideout entrance and see the destruction with Snow White behind her.
"... Whoa... " Was all the human with black haired could say when Fiona looked up and saw Leah and Carley flying back down to earth as Leah was attaching her right left back in her socket with a pleased look on her face.
Fiona smiled, knowing who used that attack.
"Nice work, Leah," The red head said as Leah landed on her feet and Carley as well, turning back into their human forms.
"Thanks," Leah said with a smile on her face while scratching the back of her head.
"The explosion was bigger than I remembered, though," Carley said.
"I told you I did a couple of modifications on a few things. And the big explosion was one of them."
"Well, at least Rumple's army is gone," Fiona said.
"More like obliterated into dust," Ogre Child said spitting some blood out of her mouth.
"Yeah, pretty much," Snow White agreed with the dark blue-skinned ogress, "I guess we go back inside, huh?"
"Before that, we need to see if there are any of Rumple's men still lingering after that explosion Leah made," Fiona said as everyone went to different areas of the forest to see if any of the guards or witches were still alive and hiding in the forest.
So far, no one found anyone from the explosion.
Leah was walking back after checking the area she was monitoring when suddenly, she felt something hit her across the back of her head. It made her fall to the ground who turned around to see it was one of Rumple's guards still alive holding his helmet that had a point on it along with blood from hitting Leah with it. The man was about to strike again until Leah turned into a werewolf and bit through his windpipe as blood was spewing out of the enemy's neck, killing him in an instant.
"Fucking prick," Leah angrily said at the corpse spitting out blood before walking away.
From a different part of the forest, Fiona and Carley heard the sound of a sudden yell and scream echo through the atmosphere. They ran to see if their other comrades and friends were okay who are as Carley turned to see Leah wearily walking her way with blood covering her mouth. The half ogre half dragon female could tell something was wrong with Leah from how she was walking and breathing where Carley was standing who saw blood running down the side of Leah's head.
"Leah, are you okay?" Carley asked as Leah fell on her knees and front first to the ground, "Leah!" She runs to where her friend had fallen and turned Leah on her back.
Fiona ran to where Carley yelled who saw Leah unconscious on Carley's lap. "What happened?"
"I don't know. She just suddenly fell to the ground when she was walking to where I was," Carley said as Fiona carried Leah on her back.
"I'll take Leah back to the hideout. You see if there are any of Rumple's men left out here. Tell the others when you see them, okay?" Fiona said as Carley nodded and ran off to tell the others the news.
A/N: I know some of the paragraphs are a bit off, but I just wanted to post this and get it over with because it's been in my notebook for far too long.
