A Greedy Heart

by blackdragonrider777

After living five years on the world resulting of the fusion of Mewni and Earth, the now leader of the royal knights Marco Diaz goes back home to check on his family but the voice on his head, the crazy cult of anti-monsters, the second thoughts about his decisions five years ago and the other surprises were an extra though. Big Marco Harem...No Starco. Ch 1-18 revamps on AO3!

20. Chapter 20

Hekapoo bolted out of her slumber and to her surprise she was on a bed… for as much as you could call a stack of hay and a blanket a bed but she was more inclined to bitch about the pain in her jaw than about the accommodations.

"Finally up?" Marco cooed from beside her.

"I'll guess we won, huh?" Hekapoo said before winsing because of the pain in her jaw.

"Yeah, barely that guy was a real monster." Marco said with some apprehension.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME,SCUM?!" A muffled but powerful scream echoed around what Hekapoo finally discerned was a small empty room with the exception of the whole team lying on beds similar to hers.

"CAN YOU LET US SLEEP FOR FIVE FUCKING MINUTES!?" Higgs groggily and grumpily screamed from one corner of the room where her, Brittney and Chantelle were huddling together.

"Kelly can't you just put him in your hair, pretty please?" Jackie lethargically groaned out.

"I had him there for two minutes and he almost teared my hair out of my scalp, no fucking way." Kelly grumbled.

"I keep telling you one 'eternal sleep' spell and we are done." Janna stumbled to her feet but Sabrina grabbed her and forced her to lie down.

"I'll pacify him again." Sabrina said but Mime from the corner opposite from where Chantelle and Co. were lying stood up and with bags under her eyes that no amount of makeup could mask she started to angrily make a bunch of gestures.

"Yeah, frenchie is right, every time you 'pacify' him it lasts for like 20 minutes." Brittney said with her usual annoyance.

"And if Janna does it, the best he can hope for is permanent damage!" To the surprise of the whole group Sabrina actually held her ground.

"WHY DO YOU EVEN GIVE HALF A SHIT ABOUT THAT PSYCHO!?" Brittney unsurprisingly stubbornly pressed on.

"BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY REASON MY PARENTS ARE ALIVE!" Sabrina screamed to Brittney's face, the heiress's body language became relaxed but her frown didn't falter.

"Yeah… Elaborate, I'm waiting." Brittney demanded but the little wooden bottle blasted off of Sabrina's hands right into Brittney's nose.

"Ok, You die, mother fucker!" Brittney grabbed the growling and struggling bottle and was about to smash it into the ground.

"IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THAT BOTTLE HE GETS OUT!" Sabrina finally panicked but not for what they thought she would.

Sabrina took the bottle and hugged it to her chest in order to keep it still, and desperately began to chant as a purplish pink cloud covered the bottle, then suddenly a second pair of hands held the bottle and also joined in the chant making the cloud to darken in color, thanks to Janna's assistance the growls and screams from the bottle slowly turned into loud snores.

"Ok, about that story." Janna looked at Sabrina in the eyes before the door was carefully coaxed open by the guard that had the bear body and crocodile head.

"I hope you slept well." The guard said tentatively.

"You could say that." Jackie stood up still tired and with Marcello using her hair as a nest.

"Hmmmm… Are you up for some food and a bath?" The guard sheepishly said.

"YES! SWEET MOTHER OF GOD YES!" All of Chantelle's tiredness and drowsiness melted away the second she heard the word bath and then she bolted to her feet and ran towards the door.

"I guess we are." Kelly shrugged and laughed.

*At the baths*

"So all of you guys use public baths?" Jackie was fascinated as her and the group (sans Chantelle who ran before anyone could say anything and Marco who preferred to keep his distance from the girls in this circumstance) were given a tour of the public bath house.

"Yes we do, by the way this whole 'plumbing sistem' you talk about sounds fascinating." The guard said before looking at the group.

"Are you sure you don't want Marco wit-" The crocodile tried to inquire but he was quickly interrupted.

"No mixed bathing, just a cultural thing." Jackie said with her usual charisma.

"Well I mean, When in Rome do what Romans do." Janna cackled a bit and everyone turned their frown to her.

"What? We've all seen him naked and suddenly he can't see us?" Janna retaliated but the frowns just got deeper, with a grumble and an arms cross she relented.

"Well… moving on, there are three baths here, a cold one, a hot one and a warm one, judging by where Marco went he is in the hot one, I would recommend the warm one, it's the standard." He explained.

"Thanks for allowing us a private use of the public baths." Jackie said with a wave goodbye.

"This is the least we could do." The crocodile bowed and took his leave.

"So where is Chantelle?" Brittney asked.

"She's probably already in the bath, she was pretty desperate for one." Higgs shrugged.

*In the dressing room*

Chantelle happily hummed to herself as she checked a whole lot of shelves filled to the brim with bottles, the big hipped woman was giddy by this bottles because she giggled and subtly danced to herself as she bend down to thoroughly examine every bottle though that was not a great idea because she was completely naked with only a towel draped over her shoulders.

"Sir. Diaz, it is rude to stare and it is downright illegal to peep." Chantelle gave a little laugh and gave a second bigger one after the sound of a squeak and a bunch of things falling came from behind her after that little statement.

"I just came here to get dressed! I thought you would be in the bath already!" Marco came in talking a mile a minute while he covered his eyes.

"Ohhh ." Chantelle somehow cooed in her professional voice.

"I've already seen you in the nude, front row seat and all, is it bad to reciprocate?" Chantelle went full business mode.

"NO!" Greedy Heart appeared in Marco's chest and happily screamed.

"Yes!" Marco in a jerk reaction took his hands off his eyes and beat his chest in order to calm it down, this was a mistake because that allowed his eyes to wander and what he saw he can only describe as divine.

Chantelle's diminutive stature made everything about her fit like a globe, her small perky B cup breast looked perfect for her frame, her dark pink nipples had the areola slightly raised but her pert nipples refused to be outstaged as they noticeably crowned her breast. Her waist wasn't as thin as it could be and not by a long shot as fit as her back and shoulders that Marco had seen before but it looked soft and inviting and that statement went ten fold for her milky, thick thighs.

Letting his eyes lick all over he finally locked into the one place he really didn't want to be caught staring at, he stood there stupefied looking at a thick patch of pubic hair sitting atop the prominent and reddened clitoris and labia, Marco swallowed hard before Chantelle slowly ran her fingers over her pubis and with her hair intertwined with her fingers she lightly pulled displaying her sex just a bit more for the knight to admire.

"-stening to me?" Chantelle's words finally pierced through Marco's daze but the knight could only give a confused "huh?" in response.

"I said 'do you think I should shave?' Getting a razor in this trip has been impossible, if I hadn't lost track of time in the gym I would have done so before going to the Butterflys's get together." Chantelle feigned ignorance of Marco's leer and thanks to her talking the Latino managed to keep eye contact with her, noticing this Chantelle's expression turned from formal to smug and a slight move from her shoulder was all it took for Marco's eyes to race back to her pubis and he stayed there looking at her tug at her pubic hair for a few seconds and without noticing he began to speak.

"I like it hai- I mean, if it is not uncomfortable for you this is not really a priority." Marco finally noticed what he was doing and sputtered out a more professional answer before finally forcing his eyes back to Chantelle's own, and sincerely he could feel the sneer in her gaze before it turned into an excited one.

"Oh yeah, did you know these guys use oils instead of soap? They have quite the selection and they are all scented, here, I was picking good ones that would match all of us." Chantelle turned around and bent over to take hold of a bottle of oil but Marco only registered the beautiful, milky white, bountiful, and soft looking heart shape right in front of him, said heart shape framed perfectly those inviting red lips that were just begging for him to just kneel and kiss them, he felt his temperature rising and his breath became elaborate and hard, his knees began to shake and he tentatively raised his foot to take a step forward.

"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!" Greedy Heart snapped him back to attention and he put his foot back.

Still way too aroused to think straight Marco saw how Chantelle stood up with a bottle in her hands and offered to him.

"This one seems like it would fit you perfectly, hope you like it." Chantelle said nicely but all Marco could hear was mockery and he didn't mind one bit.

Marco wordlessly outstretched his arm and saw how Chantelle keeping her distance gently put the bottle in his hand, they both stared at each other's eyes for what felt like an eternity before the short woman giggled and still keeping her distance she started to take her leave with a sway to her hips and a playful wave goodbye… before she slipped on the oily floor.

Chantelle was falling fast on her back so Marco hurried to catch her but the oil on the floor made the knight slip too and they both crashed into the ground with Chantelle on top of him, he hugged her protectively with one arm around her waist with his hand resting on top her belly and his second arm on her hip with his hand grabbing on to her thigh but what alarmed Chantelle was the face full of armpit Marco was having right now. This made the woman finally show some shame.

"Marco, God, I'm sorry, I'm gonna wash up right now… just… just… Marco?" Chantelle's panic slowly turned to curiosity as she saw the knight's dazed and lost gaze as he began to nuzzle into the hairy pit near his face.

"Are you?" Chantelle saw the Latino's flushed face as he moved closer to the source of her foul stench and took several long deep whiffs.

"Ahhhh, just fuck it." Greedy Heart gave a resigned let's go.

"Eeep!" Chantelle's defences were finally breached when she felt the warm, slimy touch of Marco's tongue dancing on her arm pit, her face flushed as she saw the dazed man in front of her enjoying the stuff that she would rather die than letting someone find out it existed.

A chill ran through the woman's spine, she centered her attention to the lost man right below her arm and felt light headed, she had been holding herself back, content with just teasing but that didn't mean she was unaffected by it and more than anything else she was dreadfully backed up.

"Is it good?" Chantelle cooed and that caught Marco's attention and when he turned to look at her face he saw something that he was amazed to see, a weird crazed smile stretched along the short woman's face, a smile that actually reminded him of Mina's.

"Kid, don't answer, I'm scared." Greedy Heart begged its host that heeded the request but it was probably because he was still happily lapping the sweat off of the woman instead of any trust towards his cursed organ. But then Chantelle's face contorted into one of obvious fake embarrassment.

"You don't like it? I'm sorry, I should have read the signs right, I was about to take it further." Chantelle said with just as obviously fake coyness.

"Marco, answer the nice lady." Greedy Heart flatly demanded and Marco turned to see her with hope filled eyes.

"I love it." Marco stammered and the crazed smile returned to Chantelle's lips, she opened her mouth to say something but before she could.

"Echo!" Kelly's playfull voice reverberated around the walls and echoed through the big hall. With surprising speed Chantelle scurried to her feet and managed to use a low cabinet to hide Marco who she was now holding with her thighs and smothering with her crotch.

"Heya there, girls!" Chantelle said with uncharacteristic enthusiasm to the approaching group.

"Hey, we thought you would already be done with your bath." Kelly answered, getting near her.

"The baskets for clothes are over there." Chantelle pointed towards a row of baskets that everyone just "oh" at and went to deposit theirs there.

"I'm sure you saw them but the towels are just above." Chantelle called from her spot.

Unbeknown to everyone else and betraying her calm demeanor Chantelle had begun to subtly hump Marco's face from behind the cabinet, the smell from her crotch was ten times more pungent than that of her armpit, the stench felt like it was piercing Marco's mind with every intake of air and he soon got drunk off of it, the Latino went from lightly struggling against Chantelle's vice like grip from her thighs to lightly cupping and caressing the soft flesh of her thighs and ass, at the same time Marco's tongue shoot out to meet Chantelle's humping hips.

"So what are you doing?" Kelly innocently asked.

"Oh, I was looking for soap but found out these guys use scented oils instead, I was actually picking up what oil would be best for each of us." Chantelle said with an strangely deep sigh.

"Ugh, let her, she gets very excited about perfume and the like, we get in her to explain what she is doing and we finish this bath by midnight." Brittney said with what sounded like annoyance but hers and Chantelle's smile made it look like it was a sort of endearing action between the two.

"The woman knows me, I'm almost done, just go to the bath and I'll be down in a jiffy." Chantelle gave them a thumbs up.

"By the way have you seen Marco?" Kelly asked as she draped herself with a towel, Chantelle responded by bending over and giving a hard open palm hit to the cabinet.

"Listen to this, I was completely naked looking over the oils and suddenly I heard this girly scream and someone falling to the floor, when I looked over the guy had already ran off over there." Chantelle laughed and pointed to a big open door to the side.

"Oh he went to the hot bath area, we are going to go to the warm one, it's over there, we'll wait for you and please try not to torture the poor guy." Kelly said going after the rest of the group that had already left after hearing Chantelle's explanation.

"I'll be right there and no promises." Chantelle happily said before taking a sharp intake of air.

The second they found themselves alone Chantelle dropped all pretense and used her hands to press the knight's face harder to her crotch to then begin to hump Marco's face so hard that the back of his head was continuously bumping the cabinet. His hands caressing her thighs and ass were sending small bolts of pleasure all through her spine but that didn't compare to his nose rubbing her clit each time harder because of her redoubling efforts to hump his face.

Marco for his part was just lost with what he was sensing, his nose was still picking the pungent stuffy smell of sweat coming from the crotch that was using him as a saddle but the smell was getting mixed in with the sweet smell of her slowly dripping juices, his hands were feeling, kneading and pinching every inch of flesh it was available to them and he wasn't sure if it was because he wanted to feel her or if he was begging for air, his ears entered heaven when her calm conversation with the girls turned into a ragged breathing that tried to hide moans that every so often managed to escape anyways and when those sounds turned into an strained sigh of relieve his mouth tasted something that he could sincerely not place, and his only opinion of it was 'I need more of this' as he greedily lapped and sucked every last drop he could find off of Chantelle.

"Boy, I needed that." Chantelle said to herself with a deep sigh of relief and a giggle before releasing Marco's head and meeting their gazes.

"Good boy." Chantelle lightly petted Marco's head as he looked on dazed and confused, with another giggle Chantelle put her lips near the knight's ear.

"My dirty clothes are on the third basket by the left, do whatever you need to so long it's there when I come back." Chantelle whispered before planting a quick peck on Marco's forehead.

The woman wasn't kidding about looking for oils for the rest of the group because with practiced ease she went from cabinet to cabinet taking very specific oils while muttering to herself "Kelly, Mime, Jackie…" and without even looking back with her arms full of bottles of oil she went towards the bath, now alone Marco turned his head towards the basket.

"No! Kiddo, Fucking stop! We just licked a hairy, sweaty armpit but we have more dignity than jerking it to the smell of dirty laun-" Greedy Heart impassionately berated.

*In the hot bath room*

"Ok, kiddo, I stand corrected, we are not above masturbating to dirty laundry, BUT YOU ARE TWO GOOD JERKS AWAY FROM RIPPING IT OFF!" Greedy Heart indignantly screamed at his host that was in the corner of the bathroom with Chantelle's lycra shorts tightly pressed to his face as he furiously beat his meat.

"CAN YOU SHUT UP FOR FIVE SECONDS!? First you pester me to run, then you urge me forwards and now you want me to stop! Can you make your damn mind!" Marco finally took the shorts off his face in order to retaliate.

"Kiddo, before you even start, it wasn't me, and hell I don't even think it was you, it was her, it was all her! I swear!" Greedy Heart said with honest to goodness fear in its voice, this surprised Marco a fair bit and decided not to press this topic further since it appeared he was just not ready for it.

"Ok, ok, I'm calm now I just need to get this back-" Marco said taking a defeated deep breath and shaking the lycra shorts in his hand before going outside the room.

As he threw the garment back in the basket he felt a chill down his spine, turning around as fast as he could he saw nothing and that stayed the same as he carefully scanned the room up and down, completely naked he inched his way back towards the bath scanning carefully his surroundings, floor and ceiling (you learned a lot after fighting monsters for as long as he has) and when he finally reached the bath he took a deep breath now feeling somewhat safe.

"Didn't take you for the type to steal dirty laundry, your highness." A deep manly voice called for Marco from inside the water making the knight to jump and screech in surprise.

Looking into the water he saw small ripples before a figure burst out of its surface, looking at him in the eyes was a woman with sharp features, short hair and her entire body from the top of her neck to the tip of her toes were covered in cyan and light green scales and despite being 100% nude it looked like the scales made something like a cat suit that hugged her modest curves, her face was the most human like with the scales just barely spread over her cheeks leaving the front of her face with her nose, brow, forehead, and her beautiful full lips being completely uncovered by the reptilian skin but still she stared at him him with her slit, yellow eyes and completely stoic expression but the knight just groaned with just a hint of irritation.

"Could you not scare me like that." Marco said before joining her in the pool.

"Excuse my insolence, your highness, but I just really didn't want to interrupt." Her bass voice boomed despite her keeping it just above a whisper making the Latino blush.

"You saw me?" He said embarrassed.

"Your highness, you were at it for a while, I managed to finish my bath before you were even sweating." She gave a cute giggle that contrasted with the Barry White like voice that made said giggle and Marco scoffed.

"Again with your highness, I already told you, Marco, MARCO." The knight said dramatically pointing at himself.

"Really, I barely ever even hear you speak and I can't even hear you say my name." Marco crossed his arms and gave the woman a mocking look.

"Forgive me your highness but it is what it is." The woman shrugged before leaning into her arms on the edge of the pool allowing her body to float slightly above the surface.

Despite Marco staring at her, he was not staring at her trim cut and athletic body but at a little stump that was just above her butt crack, on said stump a small thin tail was beginning to peek above the skin.

"It's gonna take a month before it needs another trim, when it does I'm hoping for your assistance again, your highness." The woman didn't even turn around to speak, feeling Marco's eyes in her stump.

"Are you sure we should? Most of the girls on the team don't even know about your species' reputation, if they found out nothing would happen… and sincerely it freaks me out that I have to well, mutilate you every two months." Marco said, embarrassed and avoiding her gaze.

"No worries about that, your highness, I can take care of it myself." The woman hand waved her answer.

"... And about the girls? Come on you and Chantelle are pretty much blood sisters by now, you think they are actually going to shun you because of." Marco gestured all of her.

"Yes, I have become very close with the woman you steal underwear from in order to pleasure yourself, your highness~." The woman giggled a bit but Greedy Heart appeared in Marco's chest in a flash.

"We had per-!" The organ screamed with panic before Marco muffled him with his hand.

"Please ignore him… can we go back to talking about how much you like our little party?" Marco said embarrassed and the woman sighed before turning around to make the deadman's float in the pool.

"What is there to say? I love them, truly love them, your highness, I've never felt this kind of kinship besides Ruberiot and Foolduke." Said the woman as she stared at the ceiling with nostalgia.

"Speaking of those two, how are they?" Marco asked off-handedly making the woman stop her floating to look at him in the eye with stunned silence before her expression softened to a small smile.

"Your highness, you have been under so much stress lately, how can you possibly have forgotten that they had to forgo the queen's ball because of the birth of their third little one." The woman said with excitement and it took the knight by surprise.

"Holy… you are right, how could I forget?" Marco said with mild frustration before giving a little sigh.

"Three in five years, those two have kept themselves busy and I'm sure that living with just two must have kept you busy." Marco teased light heartedly but the woman answered with a wistful frown.

"I… I didn't forget something else, did I?" The knight asked, worried that he might have touched a raw nerve.

"Worry not, your highness, this is a new development, I've moved out from their home… because sincerely, no matter how kind of them to open both their home and hearts to me it was just painfully obvious that I was the third piece that didn't fit in their two pice puzzle." The woman said with nostalgia apparent in her voice but she took a big breath and forced herself to smile regardless.

"To the little ones I'm still their cute auntie Mime though." Mime took both her index fingers and squished them against her cheeks that along with her forced smile and very contrasting Barry White voice painted a pretty sad picture.

"And you will still be, no matter what happens." Marco petted Mime's head to comfort her, a gesture she greatly appreciated but.

"I'm sorry, but I will never dare take that gamble, your highness." Mime said just barely a whisper.

*2 Hours later*

Marco had enjoyed the bath a bit too much, a moment for relaxation had become a rare commodity and after quite a while of just floating in the hot water he finally stood up and was pleasantly surprised to see that people had washed the clothes they left in the baskets.

Now fully clothed he heard a literal stampede coming down the hall and turning his head to see he noticed all the girls all clad in only towels running towards him.

"Marco, have you seen Mime? I only lost her from my sight for a bit and suddenly she wasn't the-." Chantelle desperately recounted the events and sincerely what grabbed Marco was the fact that she looked like a total different person right now.

"Business, girly and predator, wonder if there are any more modes this girl has." Greedy Heart mused inside the Latino's head and the guy just pointed to the cabinet that he was hiding in a few hours ago, this made Chantelle frown.

"This is not the ti-." Chantelle said angrily but a loud bang made her turn and see Mime clad on her full garb and make up, Chantelle gasped in surprise and without thinking tackled the performer off the cabinet and hugged her tightly after they hit the floor.

"Don't scare me like that! God damn it, would it be really that bad to see what's under that stupid make up!?" Chantelle berated her friend, Mime could only respond by corresponding the hug and a sad face… until she noticed Marco staring at Chentelle then Mime's sad face became a frown as she protectively adjusted Chantelle's towel, Marco shrugged and turned away.

"Hey, where's Jackie?" Marco said looking at the crowd with no police woman.

"Right here, who's hungry? I'm hungry, they promised food, I want food, that scare will surely make the food taste better." Jackie appeared from nowhere fully clothed, speaking a mile a minute, and moved even faster towards the exit.

"The only reason we found out Mime wasn't there was because her stomach started to grumble and urged us to get out already." Kelly rolled her eyes.

"And thank God Chantelle noticed Mime wasn't there and stopped resisting, you guys don't want to know what happens when you get between a hungry Jackie and her food." Janna said, taking her clothes.

*At the breakfast*

They ate at a big outdoor patio and considering that it was still morning the sounds and colors were vibrant and relaxing but the beautiful rustic atmosphere was being absolutely butchered by Jackie ripping handfuls off of a whole roasted bird with her bare hands to then shove the entire chunk into her mouth. Her face was completely stained by grease and spices, she also ate handfuls of vegetables from time to time and downed entire cups of what tasted like light wine in a single gulp. Her loud chewing was intertwined with small squeals of glee and sighs of satisfaction.

"See? If we had stayed in the bath for another 10 minutes that would be one of us." Janna said with a nice "told-you-so" kind of flare.

"I'm never going to get used to watching her eat." Brittney said with disgust but to disprove her own statement she did not have the urge to barf this time.

"Seriously, how do you guys end up enjoying this 'eating' stuff so much?" Hekapoo said taking a few bites of food and while she had grown to enjoy it she was feeling inadequate about not being able to take as much joy out of it as Jackie.

"Hekapoo, it's rude to talk about other people like that." Sabrina lightly scolded.

"Why aren't you telling her that then?!" Hekapoo pointed at Brittney outraged.

"Because Wong is too far gone, Sab here somehow thinks you have hope left." Janna sneered.

"Sabrina is right though, we shouldn't be talking about Jackie if she is right there." Kelly said while she gave some embarrassed glances to Jackie.

"Oh! Don't worry about her, she is having a late breakfast after skipping dinner yesterday, she likes eating but right now she is in fucking nirvana, I assure you she won't even remember we exist until-." Janna said with apparent affection for the cop until a loud groan of satisfaction interrupted her, turning around everyone saw Jackie with her plate only populated by bones that have been picked completely clean and the woman herself had seasonings all over her satisfied face as she nursed her slightly swollen belly and leaned backwards on her chair.

"Until she does that." Janna finished her statement and Jackie's attention was finally piqued.

"Huh? Sorry guys were you saying something?" Jackie said confused , causing the whole group to either giggle a bit or look at her or Janna with amazement which confused the cop even more.

"Ooookkkk~ if you guys are done being weird… Doc, is it a good time to tell us?" Jackie turned to Sabrina.

"Tell what?" Sabrina was legitimately baffled.

"You know, the story you teased back when we woke up." Jackie explained and that made everyone's eyes widen and look at Sabrina.

"Ohhh yeah, I should clear the air about that one." Sabrina said embarrassed and after a calming breath she continued.

"There is not much to really say, because of all the chaos when the worlds fused quick medical attention became a necesity specially near that stupid mountain so my parents were chosen to be stationed there." Sabrina bit her lip slightly and shivered.

"But surprise surprise, that place was dangerous, the first three months it was just an onslaught of bandits, raiders and-" Sabrina shuddered and started tearing up.

"... Spiders, I accompanied them because I was worried and wanted to help but what help could I be if even the protection provided by both Mewnie castle and the police was worth jackshit!" Sabrina screamed very upset before catching herself on what she just said and turned a worried look towards Jackie and Marco.

"Don't worry they were taken by surprise and spread paper thin, the police force was completely overwhelmed, why do you think I was even able to join? They were backed into a corner." Jackie reassured.

"Yeah, sincerely it was impossible to keep things in peace at that time." Marco sighed in defeat and those comments succeeded in making Sabrina continue with her story.

"Well… yeah I guess you are right… moving on, one time, I don't even remember when a giant spider came into our place and what ended up saving us was… Mina." Sabrina noticeably soured.

"Mina, Mr. Jonathan and Mr. Noah saved us from the spiders and Mr. Jonathan had a deal nobody in their right mind would have declined, keep on doing our job just don't report them and in exchange they kept us safe, after that my parents were tied to them, Mr. Noah became their body guard, he might have been there only to keep an eye on them but that doesn't change the fact that there were at least a few dozen attacks that my parents survived only because Mr. Noah is… who he is." Sabrina looked crestfallen and slowly took out the small wooden bottle.

"LET ME OUT!" A groggy growl rumbled from the bottle.

"Shhhh~ Here, some food sir." Sabrina took out the cork from the bottle and put a piece of food inside.

"OH MY GOD!" The man screamed with excitement this time as Sabrina put the cork back on, after that happened the bottle started to shake with violence as very loud eating sounds reverberated from inside it.

"Hehehe, he was hungry." Sabrina giggled as she was barely able to keep hold of the violent shaking bottle. Everyone present opted to try and digest Sabrina's story instead of reacting to her little cute try of changing the subject until Jackie piped up.

"Hey girls, mind staying here another night?" Jackie said plainly, using her hands as pillows and staring at the sky.

"First of all, NO! Second of all not even I exclude Barfo that brazenly." Brittney snapped to attention the second Jackie opened her mouth.

"Oh yeah, about that, I was thinking we should unwind a bit and my idea was a girls night, so what do you say?" Jackie presented herself completely submissive and open to ideas… that didn't work on Brittney though.

"How about you shove it up-" Brittney was rearing to retaliate with a frown and a face tainted crimson red until she felt a hand on her shoulder. After turning around she saw Chantelle with her face turned back to her cold business face.

"Boss, how long has it been since my last day off?" Chantelle said coldly.

"Eh?" Brittney was stopped in her tracks.

"I have for the past 3 months worked weekends, at least 6 hours of overtime every week and not a single one of those overtime hours was paid. I wanna know, when is my next day off?" Chantelle said all in one breath.

"Bitch, I had a way worse schedule and you kno-" Brittney's anger came back in full but was interrupted by a single finger of Chantelle covering the heiress's lips.

"I don't think that a lawyer and a letter of resignation will care much about what you are about to say." Chantelle did not miss a beat, that made Brittney's anger reach a peak before quickly deflating in defeat.

"You can just say that you want to go to the fucking girls night out WITHOUT the threats… you fucking bitch." Brittney mumbled that last part before Chantelle turned around and gave Jackie the thumbs up.

"Awesome, girls night out!" Jackie stretched before patting Marco on the shoulder.

"And you get to keep Nachos company for the night." Jackie said enthusiastically to the knight.

"Eh, sounds fun actually." Marco shrugged before Nachos busted out of Kelly's hair tackling the knight into the air.

"See you later!" Marco screamed as he was being dragged away by the over excited dragoncicle.

"If my plan goes well we'll see you way way later!" Jackie waved goodbye.

*Well into the night*

The girls were going down a dark staircase, the place was deep inside a cave and the whole group just followed Jackie who was lighting the way with a torch.

"Is it really so hard to tailor a pair of pants?" Chantelle who was now clad in a simple beige tunic whined.

"Considering that from back here you look like you are smuggling an entire table under there, they probably thought 'a pair of pants would deplete all our fabric'." Brittney sneered.

"You are still mad about the resignation threats, aren't you?" Chantelle turned around to see her boss who was clad in a similar tunic but with a purple and gold color scheme.

"Very." Brittney crunched her brow.

"Officer Thomas where are we going? The shopping trip and the spa treatment were lovely but an abandoned cave in the countryside doesn't mesh quite well with the rest of the day." Chantelle just ignored her boss's grumble.

"YEAH! A weird abandoned mine doesn't sound like a great place for a girl's night out!" Sabrina loudly blurted out while shaking in her shoes.

"Girls, you know how I am with creepy stuff, do you really think I would take you to a haunted place?" Jackie said confidently and Sabrina's shivering subsided a bit.

"Then where are we going? Don't try to keep all the suspense." Kelly playfully raised her eyebrow.

"Hehe, but we are right here." Jackie opened a thick wooden door to enter a pitch black room that she quickly lit up by lighting rows of torches around the room, as the light slowly began revealing the nature of the room the group began forming their own opinions, the strongest of which was…

"A WINE CELLAR!" Higgs kneeled and her wide, misty eyes darted from place to place scouting every single nook and cranny of the place, the rest of the group decided to withhold their reactions considering that they couldn't compete with Higgs's religious experience.

"Exactly! While we were getting the royal treatment I talked up some of the people there and we got permission to raid this place." Jackie said, lighting up the last torch.

"Higgs try not to get too crazy here, I think that wine is the only thing the people here drink." Kelly warned the warrior who was already taking possession of a big barrel but everyone stopped when Jackie started to laugh.

"Don't worry, wine IS the only thing they drink but the wine that they drink every day is at the base of this mountain and that particular cellar is a few hundred times larger than this one if the servant was telling the truth." Jackie explained as she got closer and closer to a big wooden… barrel? Embedded to the wall.

"THIS HERE!" Jackie said proudly, giving a nice slap to the wooden structure.

"Is the good stuff." Jackie flaunted that fact making Higgs noticed a small hole in the wooden structure.

"Gimme, gimme, gimme." Higgs greedily shoved her whole arm through the hole and produced a small keg, she gave it a shake and the sound it produced made the redhead drool and shiver.

"SCORE!" Higgs then punched a hole to the wooden keg and began drowning on its content.

"Should we be taking this many freebies? The free room, food, and clothes along with the royal treatment with a spa, exclusive use of a public place… and us raiding their premium food… Did that guy kill a king or something?" Kelly couldn't help but to feel embarrassed from all the stuff they were taking.

"Yeah about that, remember how I talked it out with people around, apparently some of that came from Ms. Drinks like a fish's win in the colosseum." Jackie happily pointed at Higgs who put down the keg for a bit.

"You're welcome." Higgs gave a big burp.

"I'll take it then." With a shrug Kelly went and took a keg for herself.

"Should we really…? I mean none of us are 21 yet." Sabrina fidgeted with apprehension.

"Sabrina, we've said this a few times already but it's true, because of this journey back home we might not live to see 21, why hold back?" Chantelle put a reassuring hand on Sabrina's shoulder.

"YEAH! BRING IN THE SHY ONE! DRINKING IS MEANT TO BE DONE IN GROUPS!" Higgs cheered, then with a shy smile Sabrina put her hand inside the wooden wall and took her own keg, the rest of the group got their own keg soon after.

"Hey, Jackie, can you give me Marcello back? I know that he should be ok with you… I'm just antsy without him." Janna whispered to her friend but all the answer she received was a sly smile and with just that Janna's heart sunk.

"What did you do Jackie?" Janna's voice came as a panicked whisper.

"Marcello, you can come out." Jackie called to the big wooden structure and a metal cube appeared from the hole.

The second Janna, Hekapoo and Kelly saw the contraption their faces contorted into one of panic and fury at the same time.

"YOU TREACHEROUS BITCH!" Janna screamed.

"WHY DO I KEEP FALLING FOR THIS?!" Hekapoo was trying to tear her hair out.

"WHAT THE FUCK JACKIE?!" Kelly screamed with both disappointment and dread.

"WHAT? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" Brittney screamed what the rest of the group was thinking after the other three were done.

"DID WE ALL PUT OUR HANDS THROUGH THE HO-?" Hekapoo tried to warn the rest but suddenly a kind of veil shot out of the cube and engulfed all of them into a weird dark neon room.

"...Yes, we all did." Hekapoo said with exasperation.

"Ok, this is weird." Sabrina said.

"You don't know what's going on?" Kelly said with frustration.

"...No." Sabrina shyly squeaked out.

"This thing is a fucking lie detector, it's used in courts to make sure no one lies in them." Hekapoo screamed angrily.

"Shit, really? Huh, well I guess that makes more sense for something as deadly as this than a toy for truth or dare." Jackie was actually surprised by the information.

"TRUTH OR DARE?! DEADLY?! YOU ARE PLANNING TO RISK OUR LIVES OVER FUCKING TRUTH OR DARE?!" Brittney was fuming now.

"Yep, I figured a nice team building exercise would do us some good." Jackie said with a radiant smile completely unfazed by the nasty looks everyone was giving her.

"Ohh, come on, it will be fun, heck, leave my turn for last, everyone has a turn and then it ends, easy as that, what do you say?" Jackie said expectantly.

"We better do, once the magic starts the only way to get out of it is by finishing its conditions, believe me, any attempt at anything else would be…" Janna began to explain but stopped to take a deep calming breath.

"Disastrous." Hekapoo finished with her arms crossed and a glare directed at Jackie action that everyone was following but a snort from Janna released the tension in the room in an instant.

"Holy shit, considering all the fast ones you have pulled on me I still impress myself on just how much I let my guard down around you." Janna smacked Jackie on her shoulder.

"But damn this is the first time you've gone full on sneaky on me, Ok, you win, I'll waste my turn." Janna raised her hand and a blue circle appeared around her feet.

"What is your question, momma?" The cube spoke.

"What was Jack-... Momma?" Janna got all air knocked out of her by that simple word.

"Awwww, I didn't know something like that would happen." Jackie cooed in absolute joy when she heard what the unicorn called her friend.

"Yeah, Momma is the person that raises you and the one that cares for you." The cube approached Janna who stood there frozen.

"If that is true, then, you are momma." The cube opened to show Marcello joyfully running on a hamster wheel and with that the circle around Janna's feet turned golden.

"Heh, she didn't lie, she just wasted her turn." Hekapoo sneered but to her surprise Janna stood there frozen.

"Stupid witch. Third rate magician! JANNA!" Hekapoo screamed at the witch but nothing happened, meanwhile Jackie got her lips near Janna's ear and with a grin said.

"Momma." Jackie whispered to the frozen witch who turned beet red and started fuming.

"STOP THAT!" Janna screamed and began chazing Jackie around, the cop though just kept running and cackling.

"Ok then, I don't really have anything I want to know about any of you and if we don't get this out of the way we are never moving on." Higgs took a step forward and the same blue circle appeared under her.

"Hey blondie, what's the deal with all of this and how do you even have this thing?" Higgs said firmly as she pointed at the cube and the cop slowly stopped giggling.

"I already told you guys, we are on an adventure together and while I see that Mime and Chantelle have gotten along like ducks and water, and you specially seem to be softening up, I still want us to know everyone, the better we get along the more chances we have of surviving, that's what I truly believe and the cube was in the dump yard back in that weird pyramid mall." Jackie said, still mildly giggling and that made the circle under Higgs turn golden.

Everyone gave a resigned sigh and sat on a circle, all of them taking along their drink.

"Hmmm, I guess, I wanna ask something not very risky… how about, hmmm, what is your happiest memory?" Sabrina said and a blue circle divided in nine segments appeared under her.

"Easy, My time in France, I learned a lot, met a lot of people and it was just all in all a great learning experience." Jackie said and suddenly her arm started turning into bark, her legs into tentacles and her face started to bloat in a horrible way.

"Ok ok ok, Time out Marcello!" Jackie screamed and her transformation stopped but didn't reverse.

"What is it?" Marcello said enthusiastically.

"What the fuck? I didn't lie." Jackie gestured to herself.

"The memory of your trip to France might have been your fondest one at the time but it could have been tainted by new experiences or maybe there is a new fondest memory, the question was of your current happiest memory." The voice from the cube came as a robotic prerecorded message.

"So what you are saying is that, that trip being the catalyst of my parents being stuck in another continent, the girlfriend I made there dumping me and leaving me alone in a crazy world, and everything I learned or saw there amounting to JACK SHIT! Left me a bit bitter about the whole ordeal?" Jackie finished her fuming rant in a sweet tone and everyone noticed that her transformation reversed bit by bit after every point made on said rant.

"Yes." The cube stated plainly in its robotic voice and Jackie shrugged.

"Meh, makes sense. Ok so new fondest memory… My face time with my parents!" Jackie's face turned into that of a pig. "Nah that makes me feel lonlier." Jackie's face went back to its original state.

"Entering the force." Jackie wondered out loud and her hair turned to snakes. "Nope, that was just for survival." Jackie's hair turned back just in time for the snakes not to attack her.

"CAN YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND, THIS IS HORRIFIC ENOUGH AS IT IS!" Brittney screamed and with a quick look Jackie saw all her companions shivering and on the verge of tears.

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry just let me…" Jackie took a deep breath and her eyes opened as wide as saucers. "Oh my God! This can't be AHAHAHAHA! I'M SUCH A MESS!" Jackie bagan to laugh hysterically and everyone just stared at her, their anxiety not diminishing one bit.

"Meeting Marco again." Jackie plainly stated while she hid her face behind her hands and with that a portion of the circle under Sabrina turned golden.

"I demand an explanation!" Chantelle screamed the second she heard Jackie's answer and the golden color in the circle immediately turned back to blue.

"CHANTELLE!" Brittney screamed.

"What? This is 'truth or dare', she can't get away with just that." Chantelle said before taking a big glug of her drink.

"Hehehe, it's ok Wong, I brought this on myself anyways." Jackie took her hands off her face and yep, she was crying.

"It's just that… I've been so lonely, my girlfriend left me, my parents are stranded in another continent, everyone and everything went to shit because of the world going upside down, and let's not forget a certain bitch fucking off to join a cult." Jackie threw a nasty look towards Janna who tried to hide herself from her gaze.

"And… and… Well just finding a familiar face again that was relaxed and I could talk to, fuck he even helped me find Janna, I-I- I felt like life was going back to normal for a few seconds." Jackie said, managing to not shed one more tear and with that the blue portion of the circle turned golden again.

"Well I mean your life really is in the gutter if meeting again with an ex is the best that could happen to you." Chantelle mused with playfulness and it earned her a snort from Jackie.

"Fuck off!" Jackie's harsh words were offset by her hearty laugh that allowed a few tears to escape.

"So? Are we all good here? I promise I will be the first victim at all times, let's just go with the flow and have fun." Jackie managed to say and everyone agreed with either a small nod or an eye roll.

"Ok then, my turn." Janna said with little enthusiasm.

"Waking up after the magic being destroyed and finding Marcello hiding in my beanie, taking care of him and him coming along with a localised 'can-use-magic' field was the greatest for me." Janna said and the circle became a bit more golden.

"Taking over my own branch of daddy's company, it finally felt like I was moving up." Brittney said while avoiding everyone's eyes.

"Well, if the whole tainted thing stands… then I guess that all my memories with my ex are out of the question." Kelly thoughtfully rubbed her chin.

"When I became a librarian, I proved myself as the cream of the crop in a society that is all about fighting and considering that I have seen lots of other societies I sincerely felt strong." Kelly finished and while the circle did turn golden Kelly's hair turned into an unbearably heavy stone anyway.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Kelly screamed under the weight.

"There is an important piece of information missing." The cube droned.

"AHHHH! It felt like I finally moved on from the dating scene now that I had a stable and respected job. I thought that being guy free was the best decision in my life." Kelly's strain diminished bit by bit as her hair reduced its weight with every word she said.

"Was?" Jackie raised her eyebrow to the phrasing of that statement.

"I'm still on the fence, maybe I'm just confused still but by the looks of it, it's still my best decision ever despite that." Kelly shrugged without much enthusiasm before turning around to avoid any more questioning.

"I'm next." Chantelle raised her hand.

"The moment I got used my job, stable, good hours most of the time, good pay and I get to fuck everyone I want there." Chantelle said in one breath and the circle once again turned a little more golden.

"Wow, no hesitation there, huh?" Jackie said what the faces of the rest of the group were communicating.

"Hey, I already saw what happens when someone is not 100% truthful here so I'm not about to act all shy only to get my eyes turned into snails or something." Chantelle wiggled her fingers and shrugged.

"So you are just gonna say you whore it up with any co-worker?" Janna said, rolling her eyes.

"Not any... Wait… ok, my standards are pretty flexible now that I think about it." Chantelle shrugged and everyone else looked at her with surprise with her brazenness.

"You haven't seen half of it." Brittney said exhausted.

"What about you Mime?" Chantelle asked the effectively mute woman.

Mime started to be deep in thought before she blushed and bagan to bashfully fidget around, the whole group saw her demeanor with curiosity as she stood up and paced back and forth.

After a few seconds of this Mime stopped and with an inquisitive look at the group she ran up and hugged Chantelle to then stand up and do the same to the rest of the group, with that the circle lit up again.

"Hehehe, you big soft ball." Chantelle said with a blush.

"I feel flattered." Kelly said with a big smile on her face.

"Now that was just adorable." Hekapoo said with a small giggle.

"And now it's my turn." Higgs said and with her arms crossed she stated plainly.

"Drinking parties after a quest they were fun and a celebration of victory, I loved them." Higgs said plainly and everyone looked at her with eyes filled with worry.

"Yeah I can feel it, don't worry." Higgs said with her ears oozing a weird dark green goo.

"They also usually devolved into orgies." And with that statement from Higgs the goo turned to smoke in a blink of an eye.

"See! I'm not the only one! Fucking feels fucking good! AAAHAHAHAHAA!" Chantelle rolled on the floor for a bit.

"Ohhh lord, she is completely shit faced, I dread her turn now." Brittney said looking at her friend with a face that screamed 'not again'.

"Why? It's probably going to be something like 'how did you lose your virginity?" Kelly stated without much thought but that made Chantelle stand up straight from her lying down position.

"Please don't, please, no one ask that, this is gonna be a looooong journey and I want to let that particular gossip to marinate as muuuuch as possible." Chantelle said dead serious.

"We will… don't worry we will." Jackie tried to calm down the woman who smiled widely after that statement and went back to happily drink from her keg.

"Ok, so it's my turn." Sabrina sheepishly interjected.

"Getting into med school, I finally managed to join my parents and with all the chaos prior it was a nice return to normalcy." Sabrina said with a smile but then she barfed up a small rodent and her legs began turning into talons.

"Seeing my parents safe every day despite relying on Mina and that cult." Sabrina scrambled for something to say but now her head began sprouting horns and she began screaming when spikes started busting out of her back.

The whole group was stunned silent but the only one that managed to get her bearings and try to help the situation.

"You can say it doc! believe me no one minds what it is, just say the truth, if someone has a problem with it they will have to deal with me!" Jackie hastily reassured the girl that was spasming on the floor but that was enough, Sabrina gritted her teeth and screamed.

"Graduating highschool and never having to be under Brittney's boot again!" Sabrina opened her eyes and found herself back to normal, she took a deep breath and let some tears flow after that little ordeal.

"Are you ok doc?" Jackie tried to comfort the girl.

"I… I'll be." Sabrina slowly regained her composure and eyeballed Brittney with fear.

"Wait, this bitch is worse than raiders and giant spiders to you?" Higgs said pointing at Brittney.

"She was an amazingly huge bitch back then." Chantelle happily pointed out.

"... Yeah, I probably still am." Brittney didn't defend herself or tried to belittle any part of the conversation and opted to not even look at Sabrina.

"Hey, that's a tough act to follow but I'm the last one so…" Hekapoo tried to lighten the mood.

"That one time I raised a baby." Hekapoo said with a quiet voice making the circle to finally complete.

"WHAT!?" The whole group screamed making a single segment of the circle turn blue.

"God damn it, ok, I'll explain, you guys know one Star or Moon Butterfly?" Hekapoo said more irritated than anything and everyone nodded wordlessly.

"Due to some… unsavory circumstances I was her great great grandmother's care taker, those were some… interesting years, I was not as a good caretaker as I could be if my ignorance towards anything mortal related didn't gave that away and the girl ended up a party crazed alcoholic to put the cherry on top… but those years when I saw her grow up, experience everything for the first time and struggle at challenges they felt… they felt, how do I put this? Warm?" Hekapoo finished her story and to everyone's surprise she looked sincerely confused and finally that circle was complete.

"Three down six to go, muscles or lean!?" Hekapoo recovered her bearings easily and screamed the next question making the circle appear under her.

"LEAN!" Jackie enthusiastically screamed with her hand in the air and the circle lit up.

"Wait, what's going on?" Kelly asked confused.

"Muscle bound or lean cut which one do you prefer?" Jackie answered easily.

"Oh, hmmm, lean?" Kelly answered without much confidence but the circle lit up anyways.

"Both at the same time, with more than one of each preferably!" Chantelle drunkenly screamed.

"You have issues." Hekapoo said and everyone agreed.

"Not the daddy kind at least." Chanelle turned a drunken smug smile towards Hekapoo and then she burped.

"Muscle bound the more beef the better!" Higgs said with no hesitation as she flexed.

"I like them lean… like not-at-all-threatening lean." Sabrina said with her cheeks rosy.

Mime stood up and gracefully walked around before using her hands to frame her thin waist.

"Whichever Marco is at the time." Janna answered matter of factly the circle now with only two more segments left to lit up.

"You have issues." All the team repeated in a chorus.

"And this one is the tamest one I have." Janna chuckled.

"Muscles, I have history with those." Hekapoo said with a blush and everyone stared at Brittney.

"I don't wanna." Brittney whined but she saw her arms turning into a pair of yellowy green slugs.

"Just tell them boss." Chantelle said half sleep.

"Ahhh! Puny! Small! Defenceless! Is that enough!?" Brittney screamed and the circle turned completely golden.

"That's surprising considering your boyfriend was the biggest muscle head in highschool." Janna chuckled again.

"Guess who turned me off muscles?" Brittney grumbled.

"I thought it was the whole 'him cheating on you even though you are engaged' what turned you off muscles." Chantelle blurted out.

"He cheated on me with you!" Britney snapped at her halfway unconscious assistant, Chantelle stood up from lying down on the floor and drunkenly smiled.

"And you didn't break off the engagement or fire me, that's why I love you." Chantelle drunkenly drawled.

"Yeah, yeah, I need you more than I would ever need him." Brittney calmly said and noticed everyone staring at them confused making Brittney sigh.

"She IS my most trusted worker and because of that little affair I have carte blanche to cheat on him however much I want… which is a lot because-" Brittney began knowing full well that Chantelle would finish it for her.

"WORST SEX EVER!" Chantelle pumped her fist in the air.

"Wanna wring some more juice off of this topic or do I still have some privacy?" Brittney asked without much enthusiasm and everyone refrained from asking anything else, besides they felt like everything that needed to be said was said.

"All right, seeing that we are all focused on Brittney, she did say something that made me curious." Kelly interceded and managed to grab everyone's attention.

"She asked Jackie what fear of hers would be a hindrance, if we have to deal with any of them and any of you freeze up we will be in trouble, we should not be caught by surprise." Kelly said seriously.

"Damn… did you just dead ass ask us what our biggest fear is?" Jackie asked uncomfortably.

"Yes but don't worry I'm just interested if it's something that could hinder us in our trip, I don't think the fear of being inadequate for your family or loved ones will be a big threat on our journey so if it is something like that just say so and there is no need to keep going." Kelly said way more relaxed this time.

"Well… You guys don't need another talk about me and ghosts right?" Jackie was avoiding everyone's gaze and beet red.

"Nope, even I got tired of that already." Brittney mocked.

"Well that's good to know." Jackie sarcastically rolled her eyes and the circle lit up.

"I'm fine then, nothing that can walk or harm me is my worst fear." Janna said nonechalantely.

"Marco rejecting you?" Everyone said at the same time.

"Yeah, haha, I'm obvious and all that shit." Janna said and the circle lit up again.

"No enemy or obstacle will ever scare me." Higgs scoffed at the mere idea.

"Ditto." Hekapoo giggled out her answer.

"My biggest fear is not going back, I will kick to the curb anything that threatens me with that." Brittney threatened no one in particular.

"We're all good here." Chantelle mumbled.

"My people live and die by the battle, I'm not someone to worry about." Kelly proudly stated.

Mime followed with her own answer that was a thumbs up, with that the circle became almost completely golden.

"Ehhmmm…. Well… Giant spiders, giant insects… Giant anything really, hemm, bad people, angry people, people trying to-" Sabrina listed off.

"Sabrina… we will protect you." Kelly said with an awkward smile.

"...You've heard all you had to hear, right?" Sabrina shyly musited and everyone nodded with different levels of embarrassment and the circle turned golden.

"Ok, last spurt…" Brittney said and opened her mouth to say the next question only to close it immediately and blush.

"What? Is Wong getting shy?" Jackie mocked to which Janna and Chantelle joined with some snickers.

"How have your lives changed because of the merger?" Brittney said under her breath still red as a tomato.

"Ohhh, haven't we heard the answer for that already." Jackie said, all malice in her voice completely gone but Brittney still stared at her awkwardly, her brow frowning and relaxing in rapid succession with the heiress' doubt obvious before she completely deflated.

"I'm… feeling guilty, ok? The only impact in my life could have been done by just a stupid police investigation but it just so happened that it actually was by the fucking armageddon and now I'm finally noticing that maybe you guys had it way worse than me." Brittney blurted out with her voice a bit shaky and a segment from the circle lit up.

"Ok, from the top then-" Jackie said with a nice smile and full empathy.

*With Marco*

A giant volcano erupted and the smoke and lava formed into a humanoid silhouette that began to maniacally laugh at a latino at top of a dragon that looked like a puny fly in comparison.

"You dare to try and stop MACKAPELLUS the destroyer of this world!" the conglomeration of lava and ash vociferate.

"Kid, how did we end up here from herding griffons?" Greedy Heart asked completely lost about what happened.

Nachos dodged a slap coming at them at sonic speed from the imponent monster.

"I don't know, I just wanted to help an old lady with the laundry!" Marco screamed.

*Back with the girls*

Everyone was coughing or in the case of Higgs and Chantelle barfing on the floor.

"Mime, I know this is truth or dare but I thought all of us would just choose truth!" Jackie choked out between coughs.

Mime shrugged before putting her hand in front of the floating cube making the contraption materialise an (Kinda phallic) ice pop in her hand and then Mime proceeded to swallow the thing whole.

"I could have done it!" Chantelle was outraged.

"If I was not this shit faced I would have shown you what 'No gag reflex' really means!" Chantelle continued to scream but her intestines decided to throw its insides cutting the angered woman off.

"I'm just thankful that the stupid cube doesn't treat failing a dare the same as lying." Higgs said as she cleaned her mouth with her arms.

"It's a lie detector not a judge." Hekapoo said, still coughing.

"Just one more turn before Jackie's." Sabrina said gently caressing her throat.

"Oh no! Chantelle please tell me you've sobered up a bit!" The look of sincere fear in Brittney's face when she said that wasn't something anyone on the team had seen before and her fear only got deeper when she saw Chantelle inspecting the cube.

"Spelling bee, conga line, beer pong!" Chantelle said moving a knob on the cube.

"To use the beer pong please buy the ping pong table and the disposable glasses, we recommend the speed magic brand." The cube robotically droned.

"That thing has settings?" Jackie said voicing the rest of the group's confusion.

"Ha! Check it out boss." Chantelle showed the cube proudly displaying a 'speed magic' logo and for some reason that killed all the dread in Brittney's face as she snorted.

"Oh my God! Predatory business practices are as old as life itself, AHAHAHAHA!" Brittney loudly laughed alongside her personal assistant.

"Karaoke." Chantelle said, turning the knob again and now making the whole group look on with dread.

"Ok, we sing whatever you ask about, big deal, do your worst." Brittney having gone over her fear of Chantelle, directly challenged the short big hipped woman.

"All right, Marco Diaz… what is your honest opinion about the guy?" Chanelle's smug… everything shined like the sun.

Janna the moment she heard the question turned tail and ran off until she collided face first with the veil that was jailing them.

"NO! Please no! Anything but that!" Janna cried out as she clawed at the veil with her arms slowly growing hairy and her fingers becoming thin and long.

"If you tear off the bandage quickly it will start to heal quicker." Jackie said as the rest of the group began to bloat horrifically.

"I WILL MURDER YOU IF YOU KILL US OVER THIS!" Hekapoo screamed before losing the ability to speak because a tree started spouting in her throat and began growing out of her mouth.

"OK!" Janna screamed and everyone turned back to normal.

"Ok… I'll do it." Janna deflated and with her head low began walking towards the cube as if walking towards the gallows.

"What are you worried about? We already know it's going to be some fucked up song about 'you are my toy' or some shit like that." Brittney was feeling pretty sour over what Janna just made her go through but her surprise over the somber and slow little tune that started to play the second a mic appeared in Janna's hand stopped her.

With a deep breath and misty eyes Janna began:

It's another of those days when I remember how

That even though we cross paths you decided to follow a pair of sparkly blue eyes

Ever Since I first saw your cute face

I've been trying to find a way for it to turn to me

And yet here I am this water is just the rain I swear it

I am not here just fantasizing about you with a pretty pink bouquet

And here I am everyday just waiting thinking if the one turning the corner is you looking for me

All through Janna's performance she didn't move an inch, stiff like a statue she sang with her hands close to her chest, her knees almost touching and her gaze firmly on the floor until she finished and took a few seconds to finally look up to see all the confused faces in front of her with the exception of Jackie. All those eyes on her succeeded in making her own water and without a word she went into a corner and sat on a fetal position with her back turned on the group.

"Would you believe me if I told you that she keeps an honest to goodness journal? It's super cute." Jackie said and in a second Janna's beanie collisioned square on the back of the blonde's head making the cop giggle.

"Am I at least forgiven about the whole cult fiasco!?" Janna desperately screamed.

"You are now." Jackie smugly said before throwing the beanie back.

"Well I was supposed to be the first, but we had someone who had to beat shame quickly." Jackie said and Janna responded with a groan.

"So here I go." A mic appeared on Jackie's hand and a slow kind of caribbean tune began to sound:

Hello so long since I've seen you

Yet here we are again

Here to do this little dance one more time

We are twirling around just like the first time but in reverse

Going round and round with you thinking that this is just a dumb game

Suddenly the music swelled intensely and Jackie took a deep breath in preparation.

OF COURSE I'M JEALOUS OF HER!

What makes you blind to something so simple?

Of course I'm jealous of her

Is it just fun to laugh at the loser?

Of course I'm jealous of her

OF HER, HEEEEEERRRRRRR~!

Jackie's face was red and her eyes were freely leaking tears but other than that she looked like her same chill and composed self as she approached the group with the mic in hand.

"Who has the next turn?" Jackie tried to ask normally but her voice cracked ever so slightly.

"Well… Shit, this actually looks like fun." Hekapoo nonchalantly stood up and took the mic, her and Jackie sharing a little knowing nod.

The fiery redhead began standing on her toes and going back to start bobbin as she gave her back to her crowd, then the music with some strong percussion and playful bass began.

And there came another challenger oh what a drag

Just someone to leave there crying and forget next day

But, Oh, what is this? Looks like this little guy might have a spine

Well congratulations little guy! It took some time but look at you now, big guy you passed all the trials

She put her hand opposite to the mic on her hip and began dancing using only her shoulder.

But all that work and you turn your back with the first blonde you see

If you think you made the right choice

Hekapoo began a slow confident and flaunty trot before she stood still and with a look that resembled what disappointed (and pissed) mother would have she kept singing.

Well baby let me tell you, you chose wrong!

With a stern look and her walk still like the one she had when she was singing she offered the mic.

"Well that felt good, who wants to try next?" Hekapoo visibly relaxed and the music stopped.

"Might as well." Kelly sighed and took the mic.

She began singing stiff like Janna but the weak body language was not there, her eyes were on front and they were confrontational:

Why are you back?

I was finally happy again

I was finally moving on as this thing you turn me toooo~

Kelly began shivering but the music still swelled regardless.

You beat me, you caught me and you played me

I was hopeless just like a mouse facing a cat

Yes I won the rematch

But whatever I became I don't recognise

Kelly's knees began to buckle.

And here you are in front of me

Talking sweet nothings and things that I know I shouldn't believe

I can't understand me I know I'm stupid but my head tells me to kneel and beeeeeggg~

I thought that I was finally strong

But nowwwwwww~ I know I'm weak.

Kelly kneeled on the floor sobbing.

"I'm weak, I'm stupid and weak." Kelly loudly wailed kneeling on the floor until Chantelle forcefully made her look up to her and just as forcefully kissed the woolette, all the weakness and doubt on the warrior melted in a second and with a frown slapped the short woman with such force that the slap echoed around them for a good three seconds.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Kelly demanded but Chantelle just smiled a bit while holding her cheek.

"See? If you don't want something you just turn it away, no guy should be able to make you feel like that… unless you want to." Chantelle shrugged.

"Wha…?" Kelly began but before she could question further Chantelle took the mic off her hand.

"Cat and a mouse? I like the metaphor, here, look at the master for a bit." Chantelle said as she confidently walked towards the cube.

When Chantelle turned around her outfit turned into frilly black underwear that had a cat shaped window in the valley between the breasts, a tail attached to the bottoms and some pink embroidery, to complete the get up she had a hair band with a pair of cat ears as well as a pair of gloves and socks that looked like cat paws.

She made the stage hers instantly with that little popy song that the cube started playing.

I kinda remember you walking down the halls

Just a little mousy boy that was not worth my time

But then I lost you from my sight for a while

And I find that pathetic little you found himself a swan.

Chantelle's head bobbed slightly with the beat and everyone caught how eyes shined a mischievous glint before she got on all fours.

That makes me curious.

Chantelle began to playfully strut on all fours.

Are you really as skilled as your swan suggests?

Are you now no longer a mouse but a butterfly?

You know, that makes me…

You know that makes me… a very curious cat.

Chantelle began to seductively lick her lips and got herself into a pounce position while wiggling her rear, after one or two seconds of that the music stopped.

"Are you serious Jackie?!" Brittney screamed her annoyance.

"What do you mea-? OH MY GOD!" Jackie turned tomato red when she noticed her nipples were poking through her clothes.

"Am I really gonna have to deal with random erections even when Barfo is not here?!" Brittney berated.

"I'm bi, single and just fucking look!" Jackie pointed at Chantelle who had asked the cube for a full body mirror and was now checking herself out thoroughly by sticking out her bum and wiggling it, shaking her hips in a way that would make Shakira proud, slowly run her hands through her hips all the way to her breasts and played with the hem of the bra and panties trying to find just the right point where there was maximum skin showing but just not the sensitive area.

"Tell you what, Jackie, if you buy me a get up like this back home you get the full girlfriend experience for an entire month." Chantelle said with her voice back to her business mode but somehow not icy cold this time… that change in attitude did nothing to stop her dancing around to check herself.

"I'm not dumb enough to play ball with the girl who just proudly presented herself as a predator, besides you are straight I'm sure." Jacke held her ground.

"Oh a 100% straight believe me, I have experimented enough, but if you buy me nice things, it would be down right mean not to give you a reward." Chantelle began walking seductively towards Jackie with her hands behind her head.

"HA! You think I haven't played with 'party lesbians' before? I know the deal and it's a raw one." Jackie said but Chantelle gave out a cute giggle and then Jackie's thighs were clasped together like a vice.

"You are right on that one. Quick bikini area hairy or shaven?" Chantelle began sultry and approaching Jackie slowly, when the blonde was pretty much accepting the advances as the short woman leaned into the cop's chest she asked quickly to not give the cop a second to think.

"Hairy is cutest." Jackie answered without thinking.

"Thanks!" Chantelle happily chimed and quickly separated from the blonde making the confused cop to drop on her ass to the floor, quickly Brittney squatted beside the blonde.

"That's a speedrun of most of her relationships, you say no, she presses on, you say yes, she then says thanks I'm done and you end up confused and horny." Brittney flicked Jackie's hard nipple.

"Also, hairy?" Brittney questioned and finally Jackie seemed to respond to the outside world.

"Heheh, I cut my teeth back in France, I kinda got used to it." Jackie shyly said and with all the girl's attention on that particular matter no one noticed Chantelle going directly to Kelly.

"You see? You don't resist temptation, you temt right back." Chantelle said with a wicked grin splattered on her face and while this was supposed to be encouragement for the woollette the girl inquisition turned sheet white.

"I need an adult." Kelly managed to squeak before Brittney got in front of the cube.

"Ok, my turn." Brittney outstretched her arm but the Mic appeared on Higgs' hand.

"What the fuck, horse?" Brittney questioned the cube.

"Your answers are the same, both of you will answer to save time." The cube droned.

Both women looked at each other with confusion at first but then it was understanding, Higgs offered the mic and both held the tool in between them. With their eyes closed and a deep breath their faces turned into a deep frown as a heavy guitar riff began from the cube.

(Italics: Brittney, Bold:Higgs, Both=both.)

An insect like you managed to climb?

You think an insect like you can steal all I have?

I was born great you are as low as dirt

I broke my back you worked on your back

Yet here you are above all I did!

All I had meant nothing when you appeareeed!

YOU'RE NOT BETTER THAN ME!

YOU'RE NOT BETTER THAN ME!

YOU'RE NOT BETTER THAN MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Both of them were banging their heads as they screamed the chorus until they ran out of breath.

"Was that singing or venting?" Hekapoo snarked.

"Excuse me I didn't get it, is that guy not better than you or something?" Jackie ribbed and both Brittney and Higgs couldn't help but giggle between pants.

"Yeah something like that, whoever wants it, take it." Higgs raised the microphone towards the only two people that hadn't taken a turn.

"I'll do it." Sabrina said with a shaky voice.

"Ohhh lord." Sabrina felt woozy staring down the little crowd.

"Stage fright." Sabrina giggled before taking a deep breath and the cube began to give a light violin and piano tune.

I am little, afraid and not worth much

But you said "that's not true"

You gave me your hand and told me to try

And hereee I ammmmmmmmmmm~

Looking at your baaaaaaackkkkk~

You looked like me all the time

You looked like the one that always lost

Yet you beat out every one

I want to tryyyyyyyyy

I want to be like thaaaaaaattttttt~

"See? Some take being beaten as encouragement." Chantelle snickered to her boss who rolled her eyes.

"I already beat the guy I don't know what you are talking about." Higgs scoffed making everyone laugh noticeably, even Higgs herself.

"Why do I know that is gonna bite us in the ass one of these days." Kelly referred to Higgs in general while still chuckling a bit.

"Your voice is angelic, doc!" Jackie cheered.

"You did great sab." Janna said still on the corner on a fetal position but she did give her apprentice a good old thumbs up.

"So we have only one left." Hekapoo turned a sympathetic eye towards Mime.

"Shit… I should have remembered that when I put the karaoke setting on." Chantelle sobered up and saw what she just did.

Mime pondered her options for a bit before she went towards the cube and whispered something.

"I do possess one of those." The cube boomed and Mime gave two thumbs up, a nice lute began to play a jolly tune and Mime danced along.

Me a jester on the court

You a knight and right hand of a queen

I see you dance I know your place and mine

A cheery flute began playing and Mime continued her dancing and mimed playing the flute.

But then what happened my oh my the knight knows how to laugh

You along with us played along with the joke

We fought enemies and made some friends you were part of the jesters of the court

You reached your hand across the aisle and took mine

You took me to the dance

By that last verse Mime stopped her playful, jumpy even child-like dance and started to waltz.

I'm scared, I'm confused, I think I might be losing my sights

Maybe I can go somewhere that is not my place

And with that the circle under Chantelle turned pure gold.

"Finally, one more and we are done." Brittney cheered.

"Be nice to us." Hekapoo elbowed Jackie lightly.

"No worries, it's a short one actually." Jackie stretched and laughed, the blonde took a few steps until she gave all the group her back and then turned around with her face now dead serious.

"Why did you join Mina's cult?" Jackie flat out stated.

"WHAT?!" Janna scrambled to her feet outraged.

"You said I was forgiven!" Janna screamed to her friend's face.

"But ok, you want a confession? I'll give you a confession! You probably know it already!" Janna turned to the rest of the group.

"MARCO! I wanted Marco, a love potion, a brain washing spell, a fate altering ritual, whatever I could get, I joined because I was promised all the resources on magic those crazies could get and I thought I would get something." Janna screamed and moved as if she was a cornered animal.

"Did you?" Hekapoo sneered.

"YES!" Janna made herself as tall as she could but then hunched over.

"But then he appeared and acted like finding me was the best thing that could happen to him… I couldn't do it when he was right in front of me!" Janna wailed and coward but then a tap on her shoulder called her attention.

"Janna… as you said, I already knew that." Jackie said sheepishly, Janna's surprise was doubled when she looked at her friend's feet and saw the circle only half lit up.

"Though I think the cube does take into consideration everyone who is viable for the question… well a confession WAS nice." Jackie shrugged.

"What? Then wha-?" Janna's realization was quickly followed by everyone else's and everyone turned to Sabrina.

"Bu-but I already told you, we were promised protection if-" Sabrina's legs began turning to stone.

"But I'm telling the truth!" Sabrina panicked after she felt the granite climbing up her body reaching her waist.

"You need to say the whole truth, doc, you know that." Jackie said, getting closer.

"Jackie stop this, what does Sab even have to say?" Janna berated.

"Bitch! What the heck are you doing bullying the shy one here!" Brittney screamed but them and the rest of the group reproaches were promptly ignored by Jackie.

"Tick tock, doc, if that rock reaches your mouth we all die soon after too." Jackie giggled out now that Sabrina couldn't use her arms and the stone was reaching her neck, Sabrina's eyes were now fountains of tears but she managed to contain her babbling enough to say something coherent.

"I WANTED TO BEAT MONSTERS!" Sabrina finally said and the granite dissolved from her body leaving her limp and crashing into the ground but Jackie caught her in an embrace before she could hit the floor.

"I hate it! I fucking hate it! I'm finally rid of one bully and then suddenly I have to contend with hundreds more!" Sabrina tightly held on to Jackie.

"What did I even do to deserve this?! I just wanted to be the strong one for once! To be the one to beat the bullies back! And all I got was being the errand girl to a crazed bitch too! WHY!? I don't want to! I just want a normal life with my parents and my career! And no one is hurting me anymore." Sabrina screeched all her sorrows on to Jackie's ear who just stood there and continued to embrace the crying doctor.

Everyone stood there not knowing what to do until Sabrina calmed down and as soon as that happened the circle turned full gold.

"Doc, you do know Kelly's a monster right?" Jackie sweetly asked the girl in her arms.

"I hate bullies not monsters." Sabrina sobbed out.

"Are you willing to cooperate with Wong? I won't blame you if you don't." Jackie continued to caress the other woman's back and Sabrina turned her red puffy eyes to the woman that tormented her half a decade back.

Brittney first tried to avoid her gaze but decided against it, they both stared at each other for a bit, Sabrina with uncertain eyes and Brittney was slowly chipped down by the stare, every moment her old victim's eyes were on her Brittney felt more and more heavy, she felt like she wanted to cry, to trow herself to the floor, fuck she was on full on fight or flight mode by now.

In the end with a deep breath the heiress just raised her arms in defeat and lowered her head, she did not know what else to do

"I might think about giving it a try." Sabrina tasted every word still unsure about them and Brittney held her pose.

"Well I think that's the best we can have by now." Jackie patted the doctor's back and the veil finally lifted.

"Finally." Janna said taking out Marcello from the cube and putting him on her beanie.

"Should I dispose of this?" Kelly said inspecting the inert cube.

"Better not, it might come in handy some other time… against someone who isn't us." Hekapoo said with spite.

"Who wants to get drunk again!" Higgs said with enthusiasm.

"Really? After all that happened?" Brittney said in a much lower voice than usual.

"Heck because of what happened I NEED to get drunk again." Chantelle said, giving a sigh of relief and a keg to her boss.

Brittney contemplated giving the keg to Sabrina for a bit before opting against it.

"Wanna join in the party again, doc? Tomorrow we leave as soon as we wake up." Jackie said sweetly.

"I agree with Chantelle, I need to get drunk now." Sabrina managed a giggle.

"Now that's what I like to hear." Jackie again patted the witch on the back.

*The next morning*

All the girls woke up with a crushing hangover but managed to stand up anyways, they were told by a servant (The bear crocodile) that they were found passed out on the cellar and transported back to the room they were given yesterday.

They stumbled outside after a chase down for the hangover and some breakfast and they found Marco with a laurel crown, holding a bouquet of flowers and a small squad of servants all of them bowing to him.

"Had fun yesterday?" Marco enthusiastically asked.

"Heck yeah!" Jackie didn't miss a beat and the rest goggily agreed.

"And you, big guy?" Jackie hit Marco with her hip.

"You know, it happened." Marco shrugged.

"Did you have breakfast?" Hekapoo asked.

"Yeah we have to go now, I think we will stay here if we don't." Janna nursed her aching head.

"Had a bite or two, Nachos, we are going!" Marco said and Nachos appeared peppered with golden regalia and feather decorations.

"Thanks guys, we have to go now." Marco said to the servants.

"But great hero!" The servants wined.

"We need to go, you'll get a new hero when it's needed, I'm sure of it." Marco comforted the servants.

"And you." Marco pointed at the bear crocodile.

"You are just the greatest." Marco bowed to the group's newest friend much like the servants did to him.

"We owe you a lot." Sabrina said as she put her hand on the mutant's shoulder.

"I'm sure you'll do a good job." Jackie said as the rest sang their praises too.

"And now, adieu." Janna said with artistic flair to open the portal and finally cross it.

"Good bye." The whole group said as they crossed the portal.

*Notes*

Holy hell did this chapter beat my ass all the way to sunday!

Well here it is, the first lewd scene on the story (took me a while) and I'm quite nervous about it, as an acquaintance very truthfully pointed out, I have no idea about this stuff, so I'm asking for your opinions on it, was it not descriptive enough? Did I use weird vocabulary? Was it too long or short? Because sincerely I have no idea, I will add more scenes because I think it is important for what I am going for but I'm not really knowledgeable about this.

Then there is this little trouble, I have been lurking this site for a while now, so much so that I remember a little purge of lemons that happened… also quite a while back, remembering this I wanted to censor this chapter and just say "The uncensored one is in AO3 please go there if you are interested" But I worked really hard on this chapter for a bit and just add to the work pile just to give you guys a watered down version sounded unreasonable so if this story gets purged just remember AO3 same user name and same story name.

Continuing with the me working too much on this chapter and me being absolutely done with it, I'm sure there are grammatical errors and weird stuff in this chapter but I will repeat I am tired, I will go back to it eventually or if someone helpfully points some of them out, other wise I'm very sorry if that affects your reading experience too much.

Also, I talked with a friend about this fic and told me "well at the pace you are handling it… it might take as much time as one piece to finish" And I wholeheartedly agree, I might put the pedal to the metal by now, specially since I used this chapter to reveal information that I thought was very necessary, I'm going to check how I can cut out fat and give you guys nice character interaction and relationship development since that is what I love doing for this fic while also making sure I can finish this thing at least this decade :P.

And one final message, I am working on an Avatar the last airbender fanfiction… that will be in Spanish, if you are interested in that be in the look out because thanks to being on my native language now I have friends that are willing to help me workshop that fic unlike this one, so it will take a while, I'm pretty much done with the first chapter just some adjustments here and there and since that one is actually being edited it will be a bit slow to update… and yes it might affect this fic.

And with nothing else to add I just would like to thank you for your time and attention, have a great day.
