AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Ah I NEEDED that break
Okay, so here we go. Back to the Krystal's Harem.
This arc is a sequel to a very special arc, the first arc Ghost and I ever co-wrote the 'And Then There Was' arc of the original Ben's Harem. Considering we passed the Tennyson Harem saga's five year anniversary before my break it is kind of ironic.
So, here we go.
Krystal's Harem
Chapter 33: A Krahoo Heat Wave
Krystal snored a bit, sleeping peacefully. Since it was the weekend she could sleep in for today.
For as long as she wanted
She was dreaming of her loving girlfriends: Two-Two, Cerise, Michelle, Greer and Ms Alicia 'Hmm~, yes Miss. I've been a bad girl.' Krystal thought happily. She giggled lightly... And then heard yelling outside her door
Jerking up out of her bed, with messy bed hair, she wondered what the heck was going on. "Urgh. What the heck?" She asked, getting out of bed and put on a shirt and shorts... she was sleeping nude.
What? They were having a heat wave recently
As she opened the door, she saw her siblings arguing over a fan. Krystal sighed, knowing she couldn't get to sleep again now "What's going on?" Krystal called out, hoping that she could grab their attention.
"It's really hot in my room and I want to start streaming!" ML-E was the first to explain her reasoning
"I've been helping Mum-Fi with house work and I'm frying!" Scout said next
"My bandages are wilting!" Atem complained
"I have fur!" Luna all but screamed
"Okay, OKAY!" Krystal raised her hands up to help calm them down. "We'll figure SOMETHING out. Okay?" The siblings huffed, the heat clearly making them all agitated "Luna, do you have a hair appointment today?" Krystal asked
Luna shook her head. "Next week." She frowned
"ML-E do you REALLY want to stream right now?" Krystal turned to her other sister.
"Uh-huh." ML-E nodded
"Well... WE need to fix this." Krystal spoke, talking to her siblings and also to Ship.
"Yeah, we do... even I'M melting." Ship answered
"You're a mobile blob." Krystal deadpanned
"Still." Ship frowned
"Well. How about I turn into my Necrofriggian form and cool everyone off?" Krystal suggested
"Not a permanent solution. Would fix the problems for an hour max." Ship sighed
"Damn." Krystal grumbled "Okay. So. Why doesn't ML-E have the fan and you three... Have a water fight?"
"A. Water. Fight?" Scout, Atem and Luna whispered together.
"Right." Krystal smiled
HALLELUJAH!
"YES!" The three cheered
"Thanks, Krystal." ML-E smiled
"Anytime." Krystal nodded, patting her head and going downstairs
"I'll get the balloons!" Luna cheered
"I'll go turn the hose on." Atem followed
"I'll... Tell Mama-Fi and Mum about it so we're not in trouble." Scout ended.
Krystal smiled, getting a cold drink... As Kitty ran in wearing a cute pink swimsuit and arm bands "Awe~, you look ADORABLE!" Krystal smiled, lifting up her little sister.
"Swimming!" Kitty smiled
"Yeah? You're going swimming in the pool?" Krystal asked spinning Kitty slowly in the air.
Kitty nodded "Getting drink for mum."
"Oh? Okay. I'll put you down now. Okay?" Krystal smiled
"Kay!" Kitty nodded, the three year old quickly hugging her sister before she was put down
Krystal sighed gently as she went to get herself a cold drink. Luckily, they put some water in their big fridge last night. She helped Kitty pour a drink for Gwen, smiling
"Thank you, Krystal." Kitty spoke, taking the drink and carefully walked off. clearly trying her best not to spill any
'That is cute as hell.' Krystal thought. "You doing okay, Ship?"
"I'm melting." Ship deadpanned, emerging from Krystal's Omegatrix and looked up at her.
"Pour girl." Krystal smiled and kissed her softly
"Thanks. But honestly, we need to get a cooling system in here or something." Ship answered
"I thought there was one." Krystal shrugged "But if it is too hot in there you can come out."
'Thanks, Krystal.' Ship answered, coming out of Krystal's Omegatrix and formed into a humanoid appearance.
"You can come out whenever you want. You are your own person." Krystal sighed and held her close
'I know... But it's better to ask.' Ship answered, hugging Krystal and teasing her
"You're now you're playing." Krystal answered. "...Maybe later...I'm too hot." She leaned her head back and steamed up.
"Darn." Ship huffed "This heat is terrible."
"Krystal, are you alright?" Looma asked as she was wearing a black bathing suit, who looked undeterred by the heat.
"We are overheating." Krystal mumbled
"Really? This is a simple day on Khoros." Looma answered honestly. "Let's get you a drink."
"I've already had one." Krystal mumbled.
"Well then... I've got this." Looma answered, finding a bottle of sun lotion.
"What is it?" Krystal asked
"Tetramand sun-screen. Put some on and come outside." Looma smiled
Krystal shrugged and did as she was told. As she put the lotion on she felt the cool of the liquid but didn't feel any different. "Now what?"
"Walk outside." Looma answered
"What?! It's like 40C out!" Krystal answered
"Trust me." Looma reassured her.
Krystal sighed and followed her. As soon as she stepped out... she felt fine. The lotion was working. The heat felt like it was a cooler day, at least 25C "What the hell?" She blinked
"Don't swear, Krystal." Helen sighed as she rested on a sun-lounger.
"This lotion has a special ingredient that makes any heat bearable for off-worlders." Looma answered. "VERY popular with tourists."
"New formula?" Krystal asked
"Sort of. We've got the main raw ingredients on our planet, but the Galvans helped us synthesize it. So... yes." Looma nodded
"This heat feels unnatural." Ship groaned
"It's global warming, I told you." Helen answered with a joking tone.
"Krystal! We've got the balloons!" Atem and Luna came out, wearing swimming gear
"Cool." She laughed. Atem was wearing black and swim trunks a gold symbol of a bird on his left pant leg. Luna was wearing a silvery school swimsuit with a crescent moon on its front. Krystal smiled at the two, looking at her Omegatrix to see the time... she loved that this thing told the time now "Have fun." She nodded, sitting down
"We will!" The two answered, running off with a large bag filled with water baloons.
Krystal smiled happily, crossing her arms "Well... Time for rest." Krystal sighed as she got into a sun lounger.
"Yeah... I'll be back in the Omegatrix. I can't handle the heat." Ship answered as she slipped into the watch
"Why is it so hot?" Krystal mumbled
"It's the hottest days of summer. Can't really do much." Helen answered
'It's unrealistically hot though.' Krystal thought, very suspicious Trying to think of what she should do, she saw Atem and Luna playing with the water balloons. She smiled and nodded, walking off 'Honestly, what's with the heat?' She thought as she went inside to grab an ice cream...though it was still early morning. She turned into her Nechrofriggeon form and flew into the sky 'Well, at least like this, it doesn't hurt as much.' She thought as she looked around the city and saw people having umbrellas and hats on. People covering themselves with sun-screen or even buying lots of ice cream or bottled water.
What was going on?
She flew down closer to the street and tried to look around... and saw someone looking over the location
"What's that?" She frowned. She flew up and saw the figure run. From what she could tell from that flash of the sight, the being was wearing full Inuit-like dark purple garments "Hey!" She called out, flying in for a closer look...and saw a fist flying out at her. "WHOA!" She quickly turned intangible and flew in closer
"Oh no!" The figure gasped and tried to run quicker, by lengthening their legs like rubber!
"Who the hell are you?!" Krystal glared, flying faster. The being tried to escape, but lost their footing on a wonky roof-tile and fell on a roof and tumbled back to a normal size with Krystal dive-bombing them and getting them in a chokehold
"Ack!" The being struggled in Krystal's chokehold.
"I asked. Who the hell are you?" Krystal repeated, keeping the being in her arms.
"I-I'm Ester! Okay? I'm Ester!" The being answered, having revealed to be a woman's voice.
"Huh?" Krystal blinked and backed up. The purple clothed woman was released and rubbed her neck. She had dark mauve hair with two side bangs and white antler-like eyebrows, white trimmed purple clothing, a black shoulder strap that went over her shoulder that connected to a dark purple pouch. On her cheeks were faded dark purple markings on her naturally lilac skin.
"Jeez... Do you always do this to people?" Ester asked, looking at Krystal.
"Only suspicious people who run and attack me." She said, flashing her Plumbers badge
"Oh crap. I-I didn't know. Okay?" Ester defended. "Look, I was up top just to see what was going on."
"Oh?"
"I'm from a tribe of Kraaho that lives in Undertown. I wanted to check how cold it was out here." Ester answered
"COLD?! It's like 40 degrees Celcius out!" Krystal deadpanned "Most people are boiling alive!"
"My people are 'Tungsten-based'. This temperature is freezing to them." Ester answered. "I'm only half-Kraaho so...It's only nippy out to me."
Krystal blinked and sighed, reverting to her human state
Ester blinked in shock. She didn't realise that she was pursued by Krystal Tennyson! "Oh... Shit. If I knew... Holy crap." ... And Krystal was still in her shirt and shorts
"What?" Krystal asked and looked down. "...Oh crap. I forgot." She groaned. "But yeah. This shows how warm it is."
"Well, I'm trying to see what's been going on. I think someone's raising this planet's temperature." Ester answered
"... This is big if it is." Krystal frowned "Let's go see your people."
"Alright...But I think you may need to change into a form that's not... That." Ester answered, gesturing Krystal's attire.
"I'll change before I get there." Krystal answered.
"Or... I could do this." Ship said, emerging from the Omegatrix and wrapping around Krystal's body
Ester blinked as she saw Krystal's body become wrapped in a black and blue Mechamorph bodysuit "Wow, thanks Ship. Are you okay with this?" Krystal asked in confusion
"Your body's cool." Ship quivered gently "I should be fine."
Krystal nodded, looking at herself in the window
Krystal noted that Ship was hugging her tightly, but not showing any numbs or bumps in locations that would be considered VERY inappropriate in public. It looked like Krystal was wearing a catsuit. A skintight black costume from the neck down, light blue glowing gloves and boots with light blue glowing lines going from the gloves and boots and crossing all over her body in stylish patterns "Have you been watching those shows again?" Krystal asked
'I've got a lot of time when you're asleep.' Ship answered
"You're a trouble maker." Krystal laughed
'And yet, you love me.' Ship answered with a smile.
"Hey. Are we going or not?" Ester asked, letting the heat warm her up...as best as it could, but still felt chilly.
"Oh. Yeah, sure." Krystal nodded
"Okay." Ester nodded and lead the way.
"Ship, do my a favour?" Krystal asked
'Sure, what is it?' Ship asked
"Keep an eye on the temperature. If it keeps rising, I want to know." Krystal asked
'You got it.' Ship nodded
"And record everything." She mumbled quietly "Keep your eyes out. I find this suspicious."
'You got it.' Ship nodded quietly and did as she was told.
Krystal nodded, heading off. The two headed off, following Ester as she headed down to Undertown. Unluckily, most of Undertown was boiling like above. Heck it was even hotter!
"JESUS! It's like hell down here!" Krystal groaned, feeling the heat.
"We still need to go deeper." Ester commented
"Deeper? We're going to be at the centre of the-" Krystal groaned
'Krystal, Kraaho need high temperatures. Correct?' Ship interrupted
"Yeah." she nodded
'Then, where else would they go? The center of the Earth.' Ship answered
"We aren't THAT deep." Ester rolled her eyes
"Oh." The two blinked, heading deeper into Undertown and through a cavern
'How're you holding up, Krystal?' Ship asked
"Sweltering." She responded
'Thought so.' Ship sighed, the two entering a secret town near another secret town
"Whoa... this place is like an Inuit village." Krystal whispered, but felt her throat getting dry. She gasped, going into her Nechrofriggeon form again to try and stay cool. She didn't want to pass out from heat stroke "Ah~, that's better." Krystal sighed in relief, feeling MUCH cooler.
"Welcome to my home...It wasn't this warm before." Ester spoke as she sighed in relief "It feels MUCH better."
"I'm glad for you. But this might be why Bellwood is burning alive." Krystal answered
"My people would not do that!" She glared
"Look, I'm not trying to blame anyone. I'm just looking at the connections." Krystal answered
Ester sighed, nodding admitting she was right "Whatever."
"Look, I think if I talk to them we can help sort things out. Okay?" Krystal suggested, trying to keep things calm.
"We need to look for the cause." Ester nodded
"That's what I'm saying. Lead on, Ester." Krystal spoke respectfully.
Ester nodded, the two walking into the village... When they were quickly surrounded
"Wh-what's going on?" Ester asked in confusion
"I think it's called an 'ambush'." Krystal answered with a nervous joke.
"Everyone! It's me! Ester!" The teenager called. Her fellow Kraaho just continued at a hostile glare at Ester and Krystal with weapons in hand
"Foolish child." A voice spoke, walking up to them.
"Huh?" The two blinked, looking at the figure
It was a tall Kraaho, a male this time and with bigger and bushier eyebrows that Ester... Imagine a handlebar moustache but just elevated.
Krystal smiled, nearly snickering at the sight "Seriously with that thing?" she mumbled
"Seebik? What's going on? What're you doing?" Ester asked
"Doing our people right!" He glared "What we deserve!"
"By doing what? Immolating this planet?" Krystal asked, all joking gone from her voice
"Yes." Seebik answered bluntly. "Our people are freezing on this planet. We can't go to the other planets because they're inhospitable! This planet is the only place we can live."
"You're justifying genocide for your own ends!" Krystal answered
"The ends for our people!" Seebik snapped "We have created a device that will heat up the planet, scare off those other species! It will be ours!"
"You. Are. Fucking crazy." Krystal answered simply.
"What?" Seebik glared.
"You HONESTLY think people will leave? There aren't enough spaceships to ferry 10 billion people off planet!" Krystal answered. "And MOST of those people were BORN here!" She was glaring, a rightful anger in her eyes "This is THEIR HOME just as much, heck most likely MORE than it is your home! And you think other races will accept this when it gets out?! Because it WILL get out!"
"A needed sacrifice for our people." Seebik answered, seeing his plan as justifiable.
"You racist dumbass!" Krystal snapped
"Seebik, you're a fool." Ester glared.
"Kill them." Seebik ordered simply.
"Not so fast!" Krystal called, Ship turning her hands into Emerald's and Krystal forming a shield around the two
CLASH!
CLANG!
"How did you-?" Ester asked
"Turn that device off! I'll handle this!" Krystal answered.
"We don't know where it is!" Ester reminded
"SHIT!" Krystal snapped. "I have an idea." She lengthened up a funnel up through the shield so that she and Ester could get out. She then grabbed the Eskimo clad woman and flew right up, moving as fast as she could. The Kraaho gasped as Krystal and Ester escaped from their spears and were now getting through the tunnel and landed meters away.. Krystal was flying full speed, trying to create some distance
"You're a swift flyer!" Ester commented
"Yeah." Krystal nodded, setting them down "Have been at it my whole life." She joked
"Good to know." Ester answered. "We've got to find Seebik, he's the only one that knows where the device is."
"He was just back there, ordering them to kill us!" Krystal reminded
"Okay, then we try and find it." Ester answered, getting flustered since she was set upon by her own people. Her mind was chaos; she couldn't make heads or tails of the situation
"Look, we'll stop him." Krystal answered "Okay?"
"Okay." Ester nodded as they landed and far away from the Kraaho group.
'I hope everyone is okay.' Krystal thought
*Back at the Tennyson home*
"I'm so hot." Looma groaned
"Mummy... I'm melting." Luna panted heavily, trying to get a cold drink but the ice and the water were evaporating.
"You're not the only one... What the hell is going on?" Helen answered, burning up in her clothes, even though they were wearing virtually nothing.
"It's like home." Isis commented, pulling at her dress "During a heat wave."
"I hope someone's going to fix this." Looma agreed
"Mama..." Ren mumbled in heatstroke
"Oh, baby." Hope frowned as she tried to cool him down. "Hang on, Frigora Ventos." Summoned from her hands, a cooling wind around the household, but it didn't last for long for the cool air to heat up.
*back with Krystal*
'Krystal, the surface temperature is heating up, it's nearing the mid-forties.' Ship called out, informing Krystal.
"Crap!" Krystal hissed. She and Ester where now in a cavern with a giant machine, battling treacherous Kraho. They had discovered Ester's father, the chief of their tribe, had been murdered by this fascist racist and he had ceased control as to try and commit genocide. Ester was weeping, trying to hold her tears back as Krystal fought off these madmen "Don't make me do this!" Krystal spoke, readying herself to exhale frozen air. Which might KILL people who require THIS much heat to live comfortably
"You wouldn't DARE!" The Kraaho warned her, but tried to push forward.
"I would." She frowned, letting out a warning breath
The Kraaho backed off in fear, feeling that deathly icy breath come out of Krystal's mouth.
"Ester, know how to turn it off?" Krystal called out
"No." She shook her head
"Oh, crap." Krystal frowned
"Only I know how to deactivate the device and I will NEVER do so!" Seebik called out
"Really?" Krystal smirked, 'coughing' in his direction "Oh. Excuse me. I might be coming down with a cold." she quipped
"GAH!" Seebik felt the frozen breath get towards him and he instantly felt his body temp go straight below and he was instantly spilling all the information needed
Ester immediately got to work on clicking on the device's keyboard, to deactivate the machine... Soon the device stopped glowing, the heat slowly going down "That's it. The temperature should be lowering." Ester spoke, even though she was feeling comfortable in the heat, but she had to think of the rest of the world.
"Good... And not too late." Krystal answered as Seebik attacked with a knife
"No you don't!" Ship shot out at Seebik and caught his arm before he struck at Krystal while the Plumbers arrived... Finally
"Stand down!" The Plumbers called out, Ben followed suit in his Necrofriggian form.
"Krystal? Are you okay?" Ben asked
"I'm fine, Dad." Krystal answered. Ben saw Seebik holding the knife and the device connected to the Center of the earth. He was NOT happy.
PUNCH!
Seebik's two front teeth fell to the ground and he was knocked out, and that was only because Ben held back "And the populous?" Ben asked
"Under control, Magister Tennyson." A Plumber spoke
"It seems most where being threatened into loyalty. We have found some imprisoned women's children." A Plumber said over their badges
"Alright." Ben nodded. "Krystal, if you would?" He handed over a pair of specialized handcuffs.
"Seebik, you're under arrest." Krystal locked the handcuffs onto Seebik's hands.
"What about my people?" Ester asked
"They'll be dealt with accordingly within the law. But seeing as they were forced to do this, they MIGHT get less punishment." Ben answered. "But unlicensed terraforming a planet and murder ARE SERIOUS offences."
"Thank goodness." Ester sighed in relief
"But in the meantime, we'll have to locate them where they won't freeze." Ben answered
"Wh-where're you taking us?" A Kraaho man asked
"Kylonix 3, a planet near a sun that has hospitable terrain for farming and living." Ben answered
"Where's that?" Krystal asked, never even HEARING about this planet.
"It's a recent discovery, since Earth doesn't have the right climate for some species, we're making attempts to find places for other species to help colonies them." Ben answered as Krystal put Seebik into the Plumber's vehicle.
Krystal could only stare in shock.
She remembered that 10 year old boy she saw when she battled Malwear. How did that child grow up to be... Him?
Her father was amazing. HER hero... How was she supposed to live up to that?
"Are you okay, Krystal?" Ben asked as he saw Krystal throw Seebik into the vehicle.
"I'm fine daddy." She smiled, hugging him
"Proud of you baby girl." He smiled
She sighed happily back, hoping that everyone on the surface would be alright 'I did it.' she thought
"Ester, I hope we can trust you to look after your people." Ben commented to the pink skinned girl... When a teenage Kineceleran girl ran towards the group
"Ester! Are? Are you alright?" The Kineceleran asked, seeing her. The Kineceleran was a teenager, very tall and thin. Small B-cup breasts. She wore a small tight pink tube top and black booty shorts. Most of her blue skin was uncovered besides the black helmet all her species wore
"K8!" Ester gasped, hugging her
"Oh. Okay." Krystal blinked, not complaining, but also in relief since she only just MET this girl.
"Are you okay?" Ester asked
"A little heatstroke and some dehydration, but I'm fine." K8 answered with a joking tone "What's going on"
"Seebik was trying to heat up the Earth. Krystal here helped me stop him." Ester pointed to Krystal and Ben, still in their Necrofriggian forms "And... My people are being moved off world to a better suited environment."
"What? Y-You're leaving?" K8 asked sadly.
"Yes." Ester nodded sadly
"But. But who'll be my 'Run-Buddy'?" K8 wept... although it was several degrees Celcius high
"I don't know." Ester cried, holding her close. There was clearly a double entendre there, more than that was being said. The two most likely still 'in the closet' to some degree
Krystal frowned, she didn't want to see girlfriends split up "There has to be something." she muttered
Ben sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Maybe we can work something out."
"Really?" They gasped
"Yes." Ben nodded. "If you don't think this is rude or being forward, how would you like to be the representative of your race? You live here on Earth while also commuting to Kylonix 3."
... and he nearly fell over as both teenage girls hugged him
"Gah!" He jerked lightly
Krystal thought that the sight seemed funny.
She held back her laughter, smiling. All in all, good days work
