Episode 17: Dinner Invitation
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Hotaru, Darnel, Ashleyand Queen Venomica. A/N there is a cooking/preparation scene in this episode. Those that don't like that type of stuff is best to skip this episode. Consider this your only warning.
Morning came in Ashley's home. The blond raises up from her bed still under the vampire's control even when she didn't remember being bitten by the vampire due to his spell taking effect. Ashley prepares to take a shower and once she had done so dried off and got dressed in her normal attire. Then she goes to check on Loveria whom was still petrified. She attempts to undo the petrification once more when she sensed Queen Venomica already in her room. Normally Ashley would be scared stiff even possibly wetting herself do to fear. However this was an Ashley completely under the vampire's control and is bowing before the Succubus Naga Queen.
"I sssee my vampire sssuboridnate was successful in biting you for the alternative plan! Now you will ssserve me what I want."
"Yes, mistress" Ashley said in a brainwashed state "I live to serve you."
"Good answer, now strip!"
Ashley obediently obeyed and soon stood completely naked at the Succubus Naga Queen's coils. She looked blankly at the Succubus Naga Queen whom smirks seeing the brainwashed girl's body what a lovely feast it looked like. However there was another girl she was literally dying to devour, Hotaru Hatsumi. She'd deal with Hotaru first "Here me out Assshley...You'll lure Hotaru to your house for dinner and you'll cook her for my dinner. You got that?"
"Yes, I do" Ashley said almost even forming a tear for what she had been asked to do even when under mind control.
"Good...Now how you do the deed, I cccould cccarelesss...I'll expect it around this evening though. So I'll go for now."
With this Queen Venomica vanishes and once more Ashley is released from the vampire's control but briefly. She looks around puzzled and scratches her head confused then saw herself naked from a window reflecting her image and screamed "WHY AM I NAKED?!"
Despite this she dresses up once more then heads to her phone to call Hotaru. She didn't know why she was doing so, perhaps she wanted Hotaru's company and to have some girl talk with her. Despite this she reaches for her telephone and dials Hotaru's number.
At Hotaru's house, it was Hotaru's mother that was awake, her daughter Hotaru was in the shower of her own bathroom when the phone rang. Hotaru's mother picked up the phone "Hello, Hatsumi residence, whose this?"
"Ashley ma'am" Ashley said "Is Hotaru awake?"
Mrs. Hatsumi shook her head yes "She is, but she's taking a shower Ashley.
A shower? Ashley found herself thinking on her end What good luck for Queen Venomica to feast on a nice showered body for her to feast on after cooking!
Ashley blinked thinking still Where did that come from? Why do I want to roast Hotaru? Oh well I'll go for it. She then spoke "Um...Mrs. Hatsumi, can I speak to Hotaru?"
Mrs. Hatsumi hummed "She's in the shower at the moment, can it wait a bit longer?
"It could" Ashley admitted "But can I speak to her now please?"
Mrs. Hatsumi giggled a bit how impatient Ashley was wanting to speak to Hotaru but she would allow it "Alright, I'll let you speak to Hotaru. Please hang on while I get her."
Mrs. Hatsumi takes the phone with her and knocks on Hotaru's bathroom door "Who is it?" Hotaru asked as she was rinsing her hair.
"It's me Hotaru."
"Oh? What's up mom?" Hotaru inquired.
"Your friend Ashley is on the line, right now, she requests that you speak to her right now."
Hotaru did manage to find that odd, Ashley was never that impatient to get her to talk to her. However at the same time Hotaru didn't find the need to be wary of what would eventually happen to her that evening "Really? Well I guess I'll answer it."
Hotaru keeps the shower water running, stepped out of her shower and opened the door. Her wet hand exited out from the door and Mrs. Hatsumi gave it to Hotaru. Hotaru took the phone and spoke as she prepared to get back into the shower "Ashley? You kind of caught me on a bad time when I'm showering but what is it?"
Ashley took her time to answer causing Hotaru to ask thinking the phone line somehow was cut off "Ashley? Ashley? Are you there?!"
While Hotaru was waiting for an answer Ashley was thinking to herself Why am I about to do this to her? She grits her teeth feeling the vampire's bite mark starting to influence her to do this. Tears were streaming down her eyes as she addressed Hotaru "Yes, Hotaru, I'm still here."
Hotaru sighed with relief glad she didn't have to call Ashley back just yet "Good, so why are you calling?
*Intro- Latias's voice- Three years ago, my brother Latios and I made our escape from Cipher taking the Rototrix with us. For three years we had avoided being captured and turned into Shadow Pokemon as well as keeping the Rototrix safe from Cipher whom were making plans to use it for their own evil needs. Three years later, Cipher has remerged selling Shadow Pokemon to Earth in a bid to take over the universe. Luckily my brother and I managed to save a girl in need and gave her the Rototrix a device that transforms the wielder into a Pokegirl or Pokeboy of 14 different types of Pokemon. Now she has the difficult task in not defeating Cipher but purifying all of the Shadow Pokemon. Hotaru certainly has a difficult task to do but she's the only chance two worlds have and I have a feeling, Hotarumon 14 is going to stop Cipher's plans once and for all.

Ashley answered her pretending to be friendly "Well sorry for the call at this time, but do you want to spend some girl time with me you and me alone?"
"It's been a while sense I've done that with another girl" Hotaru admitted recalling the last time she did that with a friend was when she had first hand knowledge that she was moving to America.
"Want to do it after you get your shower?"
Hotaru smiled as it was Sunday "Sure! I have nothing better to do."
"Thanks!" Ashley said "Also see if you can spend the whole day with me until dinner! I have a special dinner planned."
Hotaru was none the wiser that she'd be on a certain Succubus Naga Queen's dinner menu and loved the idea of having a sleepover at Ashley's "It's a deal! I'll be right over after my shower!"
"Thanks Hotaru!" Ashley said giggling "Perhaps we can go to the mall in between."
"I'd like that" Hotaru said "Well I'll see you soon!"
"Yep!" Ashley said "Good bye!"
"Bye!" with those last words Hotaru hung the phone up, let it stay on the sink and gets back to the shower giggling happily to be invited to sleepover at Ashley's house.
At Cipher's hideout, Erdos was furious that he had lost five very powerful Shadow Pokemon, at first to Dr. Drakken and Shego, then only to lose them to Hotaru whom purified all five Shadow Pokemon. He slams his wrist in anger. Queen Venomica's plan was a very good one and she took everything into consideration and they still ended up in a disastrous defeat. Right now it was back to the drawing board. They had to figure out a decent plan to stop Hotaru from being victorious time and time again. He watches Queen Venomica return "I'm growing tired of losing to that girl."
"I feel thy pain" Queen Venomica admitted "But if I have my way tonight...Hotaru will finally be dead betrayed by her friend Assshley. Oh I'd like to see the look of horror on Hotarumon 14's face when she's being roasted alive by a friend she trusssted."
Erdos looked confused "How would Ashley betray Hotaru?"
"My vampire subordinate bit that girl lassst night and she is completely under his control and mind for the time being. Now ssshe'll act like ssshe isssn't to force Hotarumon 14 to lower her guard then when Hotarumon 14 leasts expects it pow, the nexxxt thing ssshe findsss herssself cccompletely naked, roasting alive ssslowly dying over three hours, then sssucccumbing to the heat and I eat her remainsss...That'll be the end of Hotarumon 14."
"Clever" Erdos muttered "But I'm still going to try to think on a back up plan if this one fails."
"Why would it fail?! This plan is clearly thought out!"
"Have you considered the possibility that Hotaru could free herself?"
"Slim chance that can happen! But...I still will gain control over Assshley and if I can't eat Hotaru 14...Assshley will be eaten for her failure. It'll teach Hotaru the pricce of having friends fight alongssside her."
Erdos didn't say much of a word still forming a plan. Sure this sounded good to his ears but he still couldn't come to terms that this may end badly as in not the way Queen Venomica was envisioning. It was best to come up with a new plan if this one failed. He gets up "If you may excuse me Queen Venomica I'm going to check on the remaining Shadow Pokemon we have. To give me some idea of what to do if something backfires on your new plan."
Queen Venomica hisses hating the word backfire but she let it slide. Had this been one of her subordinates or subjects telling her that she'd sentence him or her to death. However an ally like Erdos telling her this was spared for now, he did have a reason to be wary of failure, after all all their plans had failed miserably to kill Hotaru, but an evil grin crept over the Succubus Naga Queen's face at the facts that this could be the day Hotaru was finally her meal, and this time, Hotaru would be staying dead and digested a victory for her!
After asking her parents to spend the night at Ashley's house and getting permission to, Hotaru went straight to her room gathered her clothes for the school the following Monday morning, she headed off to Ashley's house. She giggled certainly wanting to have some girl talk with Ashley and to spend a nice day with her friend. Besides Darnel was booked for the rest of the morning after church he had football practice then had to spend time with his own family afterward. Today was going to be a get to know each other more day an all girls night together! Her parents had given her permission to do so. Once she got her belongings she heads down "Thanks mom and dad! I'm heading to Ashley's! See you two tomorrow afternoon!"
"Do you have your tooth brush Hotaru?"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Got shampoo?"
"Mom!" Hotaru protested "I just got a shower a ten minutes ago!"
"I suppose"
"Honey, let Hotaru go" Hotaru's father told his wife "Have fun sweetie, watch your back and have a great day with Ashley!"
"Thanks dad" Hotaru said leaving the house right away.
Once she exited out of her house, Hotaru began walking towards Ashley's house.
At Ashley's house, the blond stood in her kitchen looking at an odd recipe book a How to Cook a Human one. Even when under the vampire and Queen Venomica's control the blond knew this book most likely came from her controllers. She had time before Hotaru came over so she took a look gritting her teeth at the images knowing that she'd be doing one of them to Hotaru. She may have been under mind control but she knew that this was wrong and it broke her heart in the inside. She looks at the images shivering at all of them, mostly at the spit roast images and fried images, those looked painful and she didn't want to be that cruel to her friend. She ultimately included she'd put Hotaru in the oven. She secretly starts gathering the ingredients muttering to herself "Why am I doing this to my friend?"
Despite asking herself this she continued to gather the secret ingredients. Once they had been secretly gathered she sets them aside hiding them. There would be plenty of time for the evil plan. Right now she really just wanted to spend some time with Hotaru. Some girl time with her and chat. Finally she heard her doorbell going off she snapped out of her train of thought and giggled "Coming!"
Outside Hotaru was waiting patiently for Ashley to get to the door. She waits unaware that Queen Venomica was watching from the safety of darkness grinning watching the girl closely. Hotaru was falling for her plan indeed. Then during the evening hours it would be Hotaru that would be on the menu! Ashley arrived "Hotaru, are you still out there?"
"Yes!" Hotaru said happily.
Ashley opened the door and gave Hotaru a polite hug "Glad you could make it today!"
"It's a pleasure to be having an all girl's night together" Hotaru told her friend entering the house.
Hotaru missed Ashley looking and finding Queen Venomica's hiding place "What's wrong Ashley?"
"Nothing" Ashley quickly lied, under normal situations she'd tell Hotaru what had happened to her the night before and what was her friend's fate at dinner time, however this was an Ashley under both a vampire and Succubus Naga Queen's control so she wasn't able to warn her friend of danger.
Hotaru looked in the direction of where Ashley was looking at but due to not being Lucario, Suicune or Ninetails forms she completely missed out on seeing the huge Succubus Naga Queen lurking in the darkness "Well alright."
The two girls went inside Ashley's house with Ashley locking the door. After Hotaru removed her shoes and placed them to the side of the door, Ashley took Hotaru to her living room where the two girls sat on the couch.
"So...Where do we begin?" Hotaru asked.
Ashley knew "Well...I guess I should be asking you this, have you been enjoying your new home?"
"I am" Hotaru admitted "But still adjusting, I do miss my old friends back in Japan."
"Anyone would" Ashley commented.
Hotaru sat back stretching her arms "Still it's always hard moving to a new place. I still feel lost when my mother and I go shopping."
Ashley watches Hotaru stretch "So, Hotaru...I've always wondered what made you want to be a gymnast?
Hotaru thought on her answer "Well...Interesting question Ashley. I suppose that my mother encouraged it. She wanted me in some sort of sport. I wasn't good at softball or soccer probably because I wasn't motivated but one day...At my old school in Japan when I was four or five years old my gym teacher at my Elementary School was an excellent gymnast herself and competed in the Olympics two or one year ago prior to my age right then even winning a gold medal for Japan in the Women's Gymnastics! She would teach us basic gymnastic skills and I loved it the moment I tried it! So eventually I grew up learning it and that same gym teacher would actually become my gymnastics coach...Prior to my move."
"Wow!" Ashley said amazed at Hotaru's deep answer she was looking at Hotaru whom was blushing red at her explanation, it wasn't a blush of embarrassment but one of joy at having to tell her that answer, Ashley could tell Hotaru loved gymnastics "Did your coach say anything to you when she saw you learning?"
Hotaru smiled answering "Yes! She told me that one day my skills could outdo even hers and she was willing to help train me to that goal so that one day..." Hotaru looks out of the window as she completed the answer "That I can compete in the Olympics...I'd like to compete in it just once to show off my skills as a gymnast."
"Wow" Ashley found herself saying wanting to help Hotaru out in her life goal of getting to the gymnastics now, she even feeling a bit guilty at what she was going to do to Hotaru later on that evening. With that information Hotaru wouldn't live her dreams, but Ashley had to do this evil deed.
Hotaru turned towards Ashley "So...I'd like to ask you why did you decide to be a cheerleader?"
Ashley smiled back "Thanks for asking. No one has bothered to ask me that, but unlike your answer mine isn't that inspirational."
Hotaru remained quiet listening to her friend with Ashley speaking out the rest of her answer " To begin my answer, I think I got into it to try to cheer myself up and to try to forget about my parent's murder so I don't have to think on it. That was what my original thought process on cheer leading did, to use it as a mask for myself to shield me from what had happened to me.:
"Masking your emotions Ashley isn't a good idea" Hotaru told her friend "It honestly may make things worse and trying to forget something dreadful such as the murder of both your parents isn't something that can be done."
"Yeah well, reflecting on the past isn't healthy ether" Ashley told her.
"True there" Hotaru admitted "But you can't exactly mask or forget that stuff ether."
"I know that now" Ashley admitted "especially sense that day still haunts my nightmares. And now I suppose I do Cheer leading because well I've grown to like it now even when I have to go to all those football and basketball games..."
She blushes red causing Hotaru to ask "What is it Ashley?"
Ashley answered "Although it's always embarrassing when certain boys look up your skirt."
Hotaru blushes "And I thought it was a boy thing in Japan...They seem to like looking underneath my mini-skirt...Although here it doesn't happen as much."
Ashley sighs with relief "Maybe that's why us being in different sports matter. Honestly most boys don't look under my cheer leading skirt but they certainly will when another cheer leader on my team lifts me up to toss me in the air or stand on two other's shoulders..."
Hotaru agreed relaxing back. Ashley gets up causing Hotaru to look at her "Ashley?"
Ashely smiled at her "I'm going to my kitchen Hotaru for a drink, would you like anything?"
Hotaru thought on it "Well maybe some water."
"Great!" Ashley said walking off "Just wait here I'll be right back!"
Hotaru sat on the couch not thinking to look at Ashley's neck, for if she did she would have noticed the twin vampire bite marks on her friend's neck which seemed to have appeared briefly and this was a sign that Ashley was forced to do part one to get Hotaru in the oven later soon, after all she needed to roast about three hours that was how long it took to cook a human.

Ashley got into her kitchen then quietly preheated the oven. Then she reached for a glass of water, filling it up for Hotaru. She oddly cast a spell into the glass so that it would act like a drug on Hotaru the moment she took a sip. This would make it easier for Ashley to do the evil deed. Her eyes filled with tears as she was forced to do this muttering to herself "Forgive me...Hotaru..."
Once the drink was done, she goes back to Hotaru whom was waiting for her. Ashley smiled "Here you go Hotaru, I got us some water."
"Thank you!" Hotaru said gladly accepting the glass not thinking anything was off about Ashley.
Ashley sat down alongside Hotaru "Want to play a quick game of checkers? No force jumps and best out of three?"
"Sounds fair! I like Checkers more than Chess, I never could understand Chess" Hotaru admitted "I know how to play Checkers!"
Ashley sets up the game and the two play. At first it seemed to be just a game with Hotaru easily taking the first game taking advantage of Ashley's miscues even if it wasn't force jump. Hotaru shown that she truly did like the game of Checkers at least in the first game. With the second game, Hotaru herself did one bad miscue herself and got Triple Jumped by one of Ashley's King piece then never completely recovered.
"Got you that time Hotaru!" Ashley told her friend.
"That you did" Hotaru admitted "Can't believe I let you bait me into that trap."
She took a moment to drink from her glass which Ashley caught thinking She's taken the actual real bait! Just got to play this last game between me and Hotaru for the drug spell to take effect and then it's off to the kitchen!
Hotaru was setting up the third and final game feeling something taking effect but she shrugged it off. Finally she set the board for the third game.
"Ready for the last game between us?" Ashley inquired.
"You bet!"
The two play with Hotaru taking more sips finding it odd she was that thirsty but she reasoned with herself that she hadn't had anything to drink yet. This game went down to the wire.
"Hotaru are you going easy on me?" Ashley inquired.
"I'd never go easy on any opponent in any game!" Hotaru said but somehow the drug spell was taking effect rapidly making her lose her judgment, she should have been easily able to beat Ashley, but she was losing currently.
Despite this the game continued and just by a miracle play, Hotaru turned the game around and managed to win it!
Ashley smiled that Hotaru had won "Ah, good game Hotaru! You won the last one which means you win the contest!"
"Thanks Ashley" Hotaru said then she felt her head swirling "Why do I feel hot all of a sudden? And why is my vision blurry?"
Hotaru briefly then felt her muscles stop paralyzing herself on the spot. The only muscle not paralyzed was her heart. Ashley grits her teeth "Sorry...Hotaru..."
She grabbed a magically drugged Hotaru and dragged her off to the kitchen. In Hotaru's drugged and paralyzed state Hotaru couldn't do anything. As she's being dragged to the kitchen, Hotaru's mind was racing like what was Ashley up to? What did Ashley do to her? And more importantly, why was she doing this if this was Ashley's doing? Finally Ashley had arrived to the kitchen and cleared off a table placing Hotaru in a sitting state. Hotaru looks at her friend "Ashley? What's going on?"
Ashley doesn't immediately answer but insteads starts removing Hotaru's socks. Hotaru tries to protest "I SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Hotaru watches as Ashley seemed to be now in a trance. Hotaru's mind was now racing! Ashley wasn't herself now! Hotaru tries to break free of the magical drug that was in her system but to no avail at first. Instead she is forced to watch Ashley remove her socks leaving Hotaru barefoot. Ashley stared at the feet of Hotaru "Japanese girl feet."
Hotaru looks at her "Ashley! You're freaking me out! Don't strip me any further!"
Ashley rubbed Hotaru's exposed legs and feet even bringing Hotaru's feet to her nose and smelling them for Queen Venomica's sake "Nice smell!"
Now knowing that something evil happened to Ashley that was forcing Ashley to be in this trance, Hotaru would have tried to kick Ashley in the face had she not been magically drugged trying to knock out whatever trace Ashley was in. Instead Ashley proceeds to take off Hotaru's jacket "Please Ashley...I know we're girls and it's okay to see each other naked at times...But don't go further!"
Ashley proceeds to remove Hotaru's shirt and skirt casting them aside. Hotaru eeps wanting to try to fight back but Ashley reaches behind Hotaru's back and unclips Hotaru's blue and white stripped bra revealing to Ashley her breasts causing Hotaru to scream but in panic "NOOOOO!"
Ashley then removed the blue and white stripped panties of Hotaru leaving Hotaru completely naked and at her mercy. Hotaru tried to cover herself and would have if she wasn't drugged. Instead Ashley forces Hotaru onto her back and starts buttering her.
"Ashley! This had better be for foreplay!" Hotaru roared out at her scared.
As she is being buttered it was then Hotaru noticed the vampire bite mark exposed on Ashley's neck thinking She's under a vampire's control!...Wait I'm naked...I'm being buttered… Hotaru then gasped thinking NUTS! THIS SMELLS LIKE A QUEEN VENOMICA PLAN!"
This new knowledge caused Ashley to tie Hotaru's legs together as well as her arms behind her back and then continue the buttering process. Hotaru grunts vowing to save Ashley knowing that once and if Venomica finished with eating her body after it was cooked, Ashley was next on the Succubus Naga Queen's menu.
Once fully buttered, Ashley puts on cooking spices, salt, pepper, and some pepper went on Hotaru's face causing her to sneeze "ACHOO!"
This didn't phase Ashley in her trance. Hotaru felt Ashley's thermoniter going near her butthole causing her to speak out "Now, Ashley...Don't...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
She was going to plead not for Ashley to shove that up her butt, but sadly she did. Then there was an apple in Hotaru's mouth to silence her. Ashley picks Hotaru up placing her on a cooking tray and it was then Hotaru saw Ashley's tears. This was proof to Hotaru that even when in a trance the real Ashley knew this was bad and she didn't want to. It broke Hotaru's heart seeing Ashley being used against her will "Sorry, Hotaru" Ashley said to her opening the oven door "Forgive me!"
Hotaru couldn't say a word, not with an apple gag shoved deep into her mouth that she couldn't spit it out. However Hotaru gave her friend a frown knowing that she needed to act quickly for both of their sake and still vowed to break out. Even now she was fighting to break free of the drug which somehow was working. Then she is shoved into the oven and the oven door slams. Ashley watches on the outside setting the timer. While this was going on Ashley opens the door to let Queen Venomica in "Good job Assshley...I hope you do a good job in roasssting Hotaru. Ssshe better ssstay dead this time."
Ashley's eyes filled with tears knowing she killed her friend.
"Ah, don't cry, there will be more friendsss for you in the future. Plenty of friends to go around."
For a moment the real Ashley managed to break free "Yeah but, not one of them can replace Hotaru!"
Ashley looks back at the oven "Hotaru...Has a dream...And I'm about to kill her for your meal..."
"Ah I'll eat you after her."
Ashley froze as the vampire's spell took effect once more.
Inside the oven Hotaru managed to break free of the drug briefly. Knowing time was on the essence. The oven was hot, very hot and she knew that if she didn't break free she was indeed dead. She kept using her feet to kick at the oven door slightly burning her feet each time, but at this moment her life was on the line. There was one thing that Ashley hadn't removed, her Rototrix! Hotaru saw it struggling deeply. With her arms bound behind her and her feet tied she couldn't move much except for kick at the oven door which she still was doing frantically. She moves her Rototrix knowing she couldn't see what she was going into. She could only hope it was something that could resist heat. Suicune! She thought Suicune, Flygon, or Ninetails! Not Serperior, Lucario, or Butterfree!
She heard the Rototrix go off knowing it had activated, then raised her arms trying to then slammed her wrist against the back coil of the oven. There was a white flash of light then there was an explosion coming from the oven causing both Ashley and Queen Venomica to rush into the kitchen alarmed and when they got in they gasped for Hotaru managed to break free and was in form of "NINETAILS!"
Hotaru had used her flamethrower to burn away at her apple gag and used the claws on her hands and feet to free herself from her binds. Then she looked at Queen Venomica "Did you seriously think I was gonna let you use Ashley to kill me that easily?"
"Hotarumon 14" Queen Venomica stated "You essscccaped death yet again."
"Thankfully so! It seems that Ashley didn't remove my Rototrix!"
"Lassst I checked with Erdosss, it couldn't be removed by your friend or our command, only you can remove it" Queen Venomica said spitting venom out at the floor in anger.
She eyed Ashley "But, I still can eat you! Ashley...Kill your friend!"
Ashley prepared to use a Water Spell but Hotaru was ready "Sorry Ashley, I'll stop you from attacking me and cure you!"
There was a bright flash of white light and ray shot at Ashley confusing her. This immediately did stop the vampire's bite mark briefly.
"NO!" Queen Venomica shouted.
Hotaru growls watching Ashley fall to the ground limply and confused "What the?" ashley asked "What happened?"
She then caught sight of Hotaru "Hotaru? Your alive?!"
Hotaru looked at Ashley "I'll relieve you of the vampire bite mark later but right now" she eyed Venomica "I have a snake to fry!"
"And fry you will!" Venomica shouted.
Hotaru sighted the Succubus Naga Queen opening her mouth to spit venom but the moment she tried Hotaru unleashed her Flamethrower at her. The fire attack scorched the inner throat of the Succubus Naga Queen while causing the venom to explode damaging Venomica's throat badly.
"No more solid food for you oh Succubus Naga Queen!" Hotaru remarked.
Hissing madly she gets back up "I can still bite you and end your life! Then once you die I'll carry that carcass of yours to my own den and eat you later!"
"Try and do so!" Hotaru taunted.
Hotaru was now expecting a bite readying herself to dodge but Ashley saw the vampire, even in her confused state she knew what the vampire was trying to do, he was planning to grab Hotaru and hold her in a way so she could take the venomous bite. Ashley gets up grabbing garlic and holy stake. After getting up she watches as he succeeded in grabbing Hotaru's shoulders.
Hotaru grunts looking at him as Venomica now strikes out at her. Hotaru then felt the fangs puncture deep into her body. One got Hotaru's chest nearly impaling her in the heart just missing it by a tiny milimeter. Despite this Hotaru knew this was bad as the other bite got her in the right shoulder. She felt herself nearly dragged closer towards her predator for constricting.
"Gotcccha!" Queen Venomica shouted victoriously.
She then proceeded to start her constriction on Hotaru. Hotaru felt not only the venom but the drug Ashley put on her working still "Nuts! I'm not completely...Recovered from that drug..."
"Ah, a three way death for you I see."
Hotaru grunts but then the vampire smelled Garlic "Who has garlic?!"
Ashley then saw Hotaru suffering from the venom and drug but not before she drove her stake into the vampire's neck decapitating him then for good measure builds up a burst of of light energy "Angelic Light!"
A burst of holy light emerged from her body annihilating the rest of the vampire's body for good and removed her vampire bite mark. The burst of light also hit Queen Venomica whom manages to resist it with Hotaru on the verge of actual death as the Rototrix wasn't able to counter the effects of the venom and drug in her system. The light wave also now removed Hotaru's ailments completely and actually healed her. Long enough for Hotaru to break free from a badly damaged Queen Venomica's coils and unleash her flamethrower again this time at Queen Venomica's neck. She hisses as Hotaru backflips and the Succubus Naga Queen hits the ground slightly.
"Hotaru!" Ashley shouted rushing to her friend "Are you okay?
"I am...Now" Hotaru told her friend "Are you freed?"
"I am" Ashley said "Your Confuse Ray broke me free! Long enough for me to attack the vampire killing him and for me to use a spell...A spell that wouldn't be possible without you."
"What have I done?" Hotaru asked.
Ashley answered "Our friendship, Hotaru...I care so much about you that I don't want to see you die...Not by my hands or if I can help it. You were in bad shape because of my drug...That I nearly killed you twice...Once when I popped you in my oven and then now."
"touching but I'm still here!" Queen Venomica roared.
"Not for long" Ashley told her seeing how she was taking her time to recover "Hotaru...Can we finish her off together?"
Hotaru gave her friend a small smile "Sure, what do you have in mind?"
"Double Hyper Fire Beam" Ashley stated.
Hotaru just smirked "Yep! Ready when you are!"
The two girls prepared to deliver their joint beat down when Queen Venomica hisses "Forget it! I know when I'm beaten for today! Mark my wordsss you two...You'll die and be in my ssstomach one day! For now I'll take my leave."
With this Queen Venomica leaves still healing herself from Ashley's attack. Hotaru ran after Queen Venomica's retreating figure to make sure she retreated for good "And don't come back! Just so you know I'll pay you back for going after Ashley like that and using her against her will!"
Once Queen Venomica was officially gone, Hotaru changed back to normal with Ashley hugging her "Ashley?"
"F-F-F-Forgive me Hotaru! I could have kill you!"
Hotaru looks at her crying friend hugging her back "I do forgive you."
"That easily?"
"Yes" Hotaru told her "Because deep down while you were preparing me I could tell you weren't in total control of yourself...Venomica and that vampire were controlling your actions. Plus seeing how you are crying tells me that you didn't want to do that to me. I'm not blaming you for the actions that you took. That being said...Shall we shower together? I don't want to go home tomorrow afternoon all buttered up."
Ashley smiled weakly hugging Hotaru joyfully "Yes, I'll do that."
Hotaru scoops up her clothes and the two head to Ashley's bathroom. Unknown to both girls they actually began holding hands with one another a sure sign that their relationship was about to evolve further.
