Chapter 11 - Plutia's POV
It was a peaceful night all was calm in the night I was snuggling the night away with my precious S-Sha. It's been roughly a few decades since we lost Abby near the Black Forest. We gave up all hope of finding her after we both felt a sudden feeling of dread enter our hearts and we knew then that something terrible had happened to our little angel. If I ever find the person that hurt her lets just say they will not be feeling the same ever again.
In a week it'll be Abby's birthday again, another day without her laughter, her smile, her outgoing enthusiasm, another day without her in are lives a pain that will never go away. Me and my beloved have always lived in hiding for the most part only venturing out to small villages for supplies and other odds and ends. My plushies or dolls always sell for a good price. I still have the one that was to be Abby's birthday gift as if it will ever reach her. I miss her more than the world. I'd do anything to get her back, to see her again, I wonder if she avoided my bad habits or not?
My thoughts and dreams soon drifted to imaging what Abby would look like if she was still with us. But I was soon pulled out of my thoughts when I felt a pulse waking me up but it kept going then it hit me, MY SHARICITE! For a moment I feel a spark of hope before smother it. I can't allow myself to feel hope after so long still it's time to get my sharicite back. I shake S-Sha's shoulder gently "Ssy wake up I have something important to do."
She groans. "What is it Plutie? It's the middle of the night."
I then poke her cheek in annoyance "Its my sharicite someone activated the beacon. I need to go check it out and your coming with incase it's a trap."
"Alright just give me a minute to wake up." She says sitting up in the bed.
"You do that I'm going to get dressed." I tell her as I get up and grab one of my usual outfits perfect for most occasions.
"Alright. I'm getting up. Since we are going out. If you try anything like you did last time to that poor girl. Your sleeping on the couch." She says getting dressed.
I pout remembering that. "No promises Ssy but I'll try. I don't want to make you mad again." I managed to sneak a few peaks at S-Sha as she gets dressed. She turns to look at me and I hurry to finish getting dressed.
Once we were done she motions for me to transform. "I'm too tired and lazy to transform. Carry me."
I sigh and transform into Iris heart "Fine but on the way back we are taking a cab back to walking distance. Not making a round trip this time no telling how far." I pick her up and and fly us out of the usually open window and head towards the beacon. As we near the source of the beacon it suddenly stops. I continue in the direction it came from and see a three story house with a young woman sitting on the porch drinking something from a mug. She looks like she was waiting for us.
I set down in front of the porch and set S-Sha down and speak to her "So are you the one that stole my sharicite?"
"Didn't know it was anyone's then." She replies back before taking sip out of her mug. Her still not getting up from the porch swing.
"As long as you kept it safe and didn't do anything unforthcoming then we don't have an issue for now at least. Now tell us who you are as I already suspect you know are." S-She gives me a look after I said that to not go crazy on her yet and to untransform and save my energy. I frown and untransform crossing my arms I was hoping to have a little fun but alright.
She smiles sadly at me for a second before her face goes back to its neutral expression. "My name is Emma Clockwork. The owner and resident of this house."
S-Sha then addresses Emma for me "So why did you bring us here? Just the sharicite? We stay away from society for a reason. So I hope for your sake you have a good reason why." I narrow my eyes ready to punish her if she slips up.
She then smiles a little bit behind her mug. She then lowers it before speaking. "I have a….Surprise. I guess I can say for you two." She then checks her watch. "Which you will see soon due to it's almost being six in the morning."
Emma looks back and then goes back into the house. I wonder what it will be? Hopefully it won't be nothing lewd. If it is I will punish her for that depending how bad it is. "What do you think she's going to bring back Ssy?"
"I don't know but it better be worth our time." She replies waiting.
I huff and I wait with her eventually Emma comes back out of the house with a young woman a few years younger than her. The woman still in what appears to be sleepwear though she also had her right . Emma then sits back on the swing, summons up a black sword, plants it into the ground in front on her, and leans on it. "You may not know them. But they know you." She says to what I believe is the young woman. "Go ahead and introduce yourself."
The woman scratches her cheek "I'm Jade heart the current Leanbox CPU also called by Abby-" Without hesitation I materialized my blade and lashed out at this fake Abby how dare this woman desecret my daughter's death. Though I have to give it to her this impersonator has great reflexes a less fighter would have gotten their head removed. Then I notice Emma's sword has moved as if she'd swung her sword. Damit she must have parried that slash. As soon as I thought of that did she counter by pommel striking me in the nose with her sword making me stumble back from the force of the blow.
She then spins on her heel and kicks S-sha in the stomach sending her back when she tries to do the same thing. She then materializes a white sword. A twin almost to the other one. She then gets into a defensive stance. "I expected this from you two. It is natural response to those in your position. Now is there a way to prove that she is that she says she is?" She says standing in front of the 'fake' Abby.
I have to think on this for a moment there is only a few things that can prove it but I know one that should be available right now "Bloodfang if you have it draw it now." My voice was a deathly calm with a slight edge to it. Only Abby can draw Bloodfang or one of her descendants if she ever lived long enough to have them. It would drain anyone else of their blood and life essence if they tried.
Emma then looks back to the woman. "Will you be able to get it out of your inventory with that broken arm of yours?"
The woman nods slightly "Yeah I can do that for the most part did it yesterday when getting ready for the day. Just don't touch even the sheath Emma." The woman assessed inventory to my surprise managed to pull out the longsword in its scabbard. She clips it to her pajama pants and pulls the blade out. I scan it for anything that would point out a fake but no are visible. The blade is blood red and the crossguard and pommel Jade green with a grey hilt built for comfort and practicality. This really is the only real Bloodfang in existence.
"As you can see. She owns and wields the weapon. Now. Will you two listen to reason or do I have to enforce it a little more?"
"That will be enough proof for now for us to believe she is the real deal. Now if I you don't mind the next part will best carried out inside rather than out here. We'll be able to sit down and have a nice long talk all day long." I say with a smile that somehow unnerves Emma when she sees it. I'm not that scary am I?
"Alright. We can do that. Just don't wake up all the others in the house. They usually wake up around eight."
S-Sha moves in front of me closer to Emma "We'll try to keep are voices down Emma. That I can promise."
Emma opens the door and steps to the side. "That's good. I'd rather not deal with the children this early in the morning. I love them and all but I need to wake up a little more before my bitchiness goes down for them. Still trying to be a morning person."
Abby shrugs sheathing her sword before stepping inside "I've always been a morning person as far as I remember. Sun rises are the best. Anyways I'm going to start making breakfast for everyone you three want me to make anything specific or just the usual?"
"Anything is good. Just no eggplants." Emma replies sitting on one of the couches.
"Eggplants aren't good for much anyways. Well I'll get started now then." I watch Abby leave into the kitchen. I have so many questions I want to ask my precious angel but Emma will have to do for now. I look into Emma's eyes as I sit down across from her "Talk Emmy you brought us here so talk. Its not very nice to keep your guests waiting."
"Well. I mainly brought you guys here as a favor for Abby. She wanted some closure. Now I have a simple question. Why was Abby in the Black Forest?"
S-Sha sighs before answering the question "I was visiting someone near that dam forest. There was a field so I let her play in it she alway enjoyed catching insects…And sometimes pulling the limbs off the edible ones before cooking them. I can only assume she wandered into the forest or something like that. Because she was gone when I came back. We searched for her for years but couldn't find her. In the end we gave up all hope and retreated from society."
"I can say I was one of the few that seen her there but it wasn't me that saved her from there. That would be the former CPU of Leanbox." She says informing us.
"Your speaking of Vert correct? Good to hear she's still around. Neppy and the rest all went bye bye. But what happened when you saw here there? You didn't try to help her?" I touch the tips of my fingers together and my gaze hardened I was not happy right now.
"I was not able to. Even if I was able to. She was…..Gone. I didn't see her again until Vert introduced her to me."
"I see. I'll have to talk with Vert later to thank her. So how has our little angel been?" S-Sha said to Emma wanting to know more about our child.
"She's been fine. I help train her and the other CPUs. She's a decent girl. Vert has helped her a lot from what she was. She has a thing about her scars though and she doesn't like to show them to people. So if you see her wearing clothing that covers her body. That's why."
I look down feeling a pain in my heart "I see and I'm guessing she uses makeup to cover any facial scars. I guess I have a lot to thank Vert for later then... How do you know this? Have you been bathing with her?"
"She has told me and I only took a bath with her once when she was too exhausted to think straight. I would've waited for her to gain her senses a little but mud is really hard to clean from these carpets. It wouldn't have been alright with the cuts she had. I had to disinfect them for her."
"I see so you took advantage of her in her moment of weakness! HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO LEWD TO MY DAUGHTER HAVE YOU NO SHAME EMMA!?" I say loud enough for everyone that is awake to hear me. Emma blushes bright red as does Abby in the kitchen.
"Emma! What is she talking about!?" Abby said in complete embarrassment.
Emma plants her feet on the coffee table and takes a sip from her mug. "Didn't we agree to be calm and civil about this? Now if you would have listened to the last part. I did that so I can clean her wounds and patch them up so the didn't get infected."
"Oh I know I just couldn't pass up how easy that can be taken out of context. Now is there anything else we should know?" I ask with a small smirk after my teasing of those two. They are so cute I just couldn't help it."
S-Sha sighs "I apologize for that Emma. Plutia doesn't control her impulses very well most of the time. I'll need to deal with her again later."
"That's fine." She says waving us off. "I don't care if you yell or scream just wait till everyone wakes up. They kids have school tomorrow soon so I want them to sleep in until school starts back up."
"Got it. So as a mother to a mother I need to answer this truthfully Emma. Does Abby have a crush on anyone or is someone trying to get into her pants?" S-Sha asked Emma and I'll admite I was curious about that too.
"Yes she has crushes on a couple people and a couple people have crushes on her. Why are you wondering?"
"I was just wondering if she inherited my terrible luck with women or not. Plutia was the only chick that gave me a chance. I'm at least thankful that her love life is more active than mine." I smirk as Ssy says that she should really speak for herself.
Emma smiles uneasily. "I almost wished I had your luck then. But yeah if I'm correct two of the people crushing on her might get into a fight sometime soon."
"Oh a love triangle how lovely. Though they better not drag my precious angel into it though or I'll get involved and if that doesn't work I'll get my moms involved." I tell her with a sickly sweet smile that tells of a silent warning.
"That reminds me. I have to buy groceries because there are 20 something people here now. I wonder how everyone's staying." Emma says thinking to herself.
I smile bringing some dolls out of my inventory I made them myself "Would selling these help you out?"
"They would but it's fine. I have the money to get everything. I'll head out after Abby makes breakfast."
Abby soon calls out to us "Breakfast is ready!" That was quick but that brings up a question "Emma does Abby do all the cooking here?" I ask her wondering if Abby does all the cooking around here.
"When she's over she usually does it saying she wants Croire to take a break from it and she loves doing it." She says getting up and heading to the kitchen.
I move to follow and see Abby had cooked up a feast I guess with all the people here it makes sense "Wow you cooked all this Abby? It sure is a lot."
"There is a lot of people here and most of us eat abit." Emma says when two little kids run in wearing their pjs. They looked to be seven, eight years old. One had purple hair and the other black.
"Mommy! Did the sweets lady make breakfast again mommy?" The purple haired one asked Emma. I'm guessing these are her kids.
"Yes she did due to Croire is still most likely passed out. We need to get her some clothes so she stops wearing mine."
"That does sound inconvenient. She have a growth spurt?" Ssy asks Emma curiously even I am curious about this.
Emma then looks at us. "A very big one." She says making herself a big plate of pancakes.
I do the same pancakes are the best while Ssy just gets bacon and sausages like always. Soon the rest start coming down as Abby helps the two kids get their food.
A teen looking girl then comes wearing just a pair of panties and a t-shirt that had shoulder length blond hair with pink stands. A smile almost splits her face when she sees the food. She then fixes herself two plates piling with food before she notices we were standing there. She smiles at me. "Hello Plutia."
I smile warmly at her I haven't seen her in a long time "Hi mom it's been awhile since we last met and so much has happened. How have you been?"
"Been doing alright. Decided to come to the mainland after so long and I'm finally pregnant again after so long. I've been wanting another child for awhile now."
I smile after hearing this news "Aww that's so cute and it's good to see you mom. I had my own little angel so I know what you mean mom. Oh that's right I never introduced you to her." This catches my mother by surprise one that someone dominated me in bed and two that I actually had a child of my own.
She then gives off a small laugh. "Come on. Making me a grandma already." She then looks at Ssy. "I'm guessing she's with you? So where's this little one?"
I smile at Ssy before "She is. But we lost the little during a family trip a couple years ago though." I say as I look down to convey a feeling of sadness.
Mom just frowns at that. "What do you mean by lost?"
"We were near a place easy to get lost in. Was it a cave or a forest? Maybe a tunnel I can't remember. But no matter how hard we looked we couldn't find her not even a strand of hair to bury. Me and Ssy gave up hope after years of searching turned up nothing." I say tears welling up in my eyes as I remember that painful time.
"That's not good. What was her name?"
"Was it Stacey? Beth? Ivy? No Leah? Oh right I named her Abigail I think? Not sure it's been soo long since that day." I say letting the tears fall down my cheeks putting on a very believable facade that I can't remember due to emotional trauma.
"Where did you lose her at?"
"I think we lost her around the research station. Now was it a Leanbox one or Planeptune one. Both have so much green. I think it was Leanbox though I remember us seeing someone in LeanBox." I rub my head as I try to remember the more specific detail. I can tell Lucy is getting really invested in this now.
She gives me a blank stare then. "Now I have a simple question. Why haven't you came to visit me or told me of this when it happened?"
I sigh at that to be honest I completely forgot the panic and stress clouded my mind "Honestly the suddenness of it all. The fear and panic clouded my judgement. I spent years straight searching for her non stop. I only stopped when Ssy dragged me home and then kept me there for my own safety and health. That was I think at the four year mark."
"I get at first your mind falling into that state but why have you never said a word to me in years. All you had to do was say a word and I'll would've been here."
"The pain of lose especial that of a child weighs heavily on the heart. Me and Ssy in our grief retreated from society. Looking back should have talked to you but the pain just got worse and worse as the years went by." I say clutching the area around my heart.
Mom's eyes then soften. She then asks. "Not that I mind seeing you but why are you meeting up with Emma here if you retreated from society and you haven't even said a hi to me?"
"She has my sharicite and set off the beacon. Someone stole it from where I was keeping it." I glare at Emma for having stolen it I'm going to demand it back at some point but for now its safe now. Emma pales a bit guess that was supposed to be a big secret.
"That should've stayed a secret. Then again I didn't specify it to you." Emma mutters into her hands.
Abby looks at Emma and a cold gale rushes across the room "So Emma been keeping even more secrets have we? And not the don't tell Rom and Ram the strawberries are actually tomatoes kind. And Sharicites at that. You know it's illegal to hide away sharicites in your own home. They need to be in an uptodate basilicom. Those are the laws everywhere."
Emma then gives a small smile. "Most of those rules wasn't around until seven years ago after I got them. There was a reason I've said there was seven sharicites and no one could find three of em."
Abby gives me a look "Yeah well you can either face charges and potentially lose custody of the kids or I can just call some nearby soldiers to transport these sharicites to the new Basilicom." Emma sighs she really had only one responsible option to choose.
Emma then looks at Abby then. Her eyes glowing purple under what I presume was grey contacts. "No one would've known about them if I haven't said anything about them."
"I know. And I get your not happy about this. But I can't just look the other way. Listen I'll do my best to smooth things over Emma. But there is a third potential option. When you found the sharicites did you perhaps connect to a vacant one?" Abby looks directly into Emma's eyes and Emma notices why she's staring at her eyes. Emma showed her cards to a poker player big mistake.
"I guess I got irritated without realizing it. Now I would be lying if I said I didn't connect to all seven sharicites for a small period of time."
"It's alright. So that's why Vert felt weird that one day huh? Well anyways if you are connected to one then there is a loophole. We simply register your home as a Basilicom. Since you have Croire here to act as your oracle that's really all you need to make it official without the baggage yet. It's your decisions Emma." Abby gave her a choice how nice.
"There's a reason why they were hidden in the first place. Why I'm hiding them now. There's a reason I didn't want to be recognized as a CPU as does your mother." She says directing the last part to me.
Abby sighs tapping her fingers against Bloodfang's hilt "Well then there's the fourth and most difficult option just come up with some random round about paperwork Bullshit then to make this go away. Don't like it but it's the only way that keep mostly everyone happy."
Mom however had a much more vocal reaction "Wait your mother is here!? Where is she! I always wanted to meet her for...Reasons."
Emma then looks at me. "Sorry you kind of were dragging it out abit."
I scratch my neck as my mom stares at me "Yeah.. Mom this is Abby my long lost daughter. And your um granddaughter." Mom just looks absolutely stunned by this.
Mom puts an arm around me. "And how long where you going to drag this out?"
I scratch my cheek in embarrassment "Maybe for another 15 minutes. Still I built up enough suspense to then point at my precious angel."
"Your lucky I'm in a good mood. Just remember last time you pissed me off dear daughter of mine."
I shiver at the terrible memory "I do mom I could never forget that time."
"Better not. Abby dear can you make me some more hashbrowns?"
Abby nods in response heading back to the stove "I can do that. How many do you want?"
"As much as you can do. I'm feeling famished." She says sitting in Emma's lap.
"Got it." Abby said to mom as she went to go make some hashbrowns for her.
I look and at Emma and soon I connect the dots "Emma is the one that knocked you up mom?"
She gives a small nod. "She is. Even though I am the one to jump her."
"Then be sure to get her next time. From what I can tell you have at least one other that can help with that." I tell my mother with a smile and Emma shivers then I remember something "Oh right we left Abby the deed for one of S-Sha's old places in Leanbox."
"That is good. Where are you staying now Abby?"
Abby hums as she makes the hashbrowns "I'm currently staying in an old castle in almost the middle of nowhere that I renovated with my best friend 5pb. She usually only stays there to hide from her more crazed fans. But I don't mind she's good company. My place is north east of Tyrant's Spear and north west of Bloodied wolf port. By the way er Lucy the first plate of hashbrowns are almost done."
"I had 5pb perform at my island a couple times over the years. I don't get how she's so shy yet she sings in front of crowds."
"As long as she has music she can do anything. She told me she just stops thinking about the crowd and just does it letting the music flow through her. We're a lot alike and that's how we became friends after one of her concerts." Abby in forms as if she's looking back at an old memory.
"I wonder when everyone else will wake up." Emma says looking at the kitchen door. She then looks at Lucy. "Not that I mind you sitting there but Selene will get jealous as hell most likely and I have to get up and do something."
I giggled as my mom pouts before she gets off "Fine I'll get off for now but I'm getting some later. Abby are the hashbrowns almost done yet?"
"That's if you can snatch me from Selene." Emma says before walking out of the room and Abby replies to mom with a yes.
Mom giggles and and cheers "Finally! I was beginning to starve."
When she got the food it took her less than a minute for her to eat it. "There anymore?"
Abby shakes her head "Not right now I'll need to either go shopping or scrounge for more ingredients in the forest. I could also go hunting or fishing as well. Your still hungry I'm guessing?"
"Yes. Yes I am. I remember when I was pregnant with Plutie here. I ate enough to put a bear in hibernation."
I then voice something. "Emma said she was going shopping after she was done with breakfast."
"Well she better bring back a lot then. Because a lot of us here eat a lot." Mom says with a stretch.
"I see. Well I still have some errands to run any. Having a broke arm doesn't help but I'll managed. I wonder if any of the others would like to come with?" Uh oh that doesn't sound like a very good idea given what Emmy has told me.
"How about both Ssy and I go with you. We haven't spent any time with you for years."
Abby shrugs "Sure why not. It would be a good way for us to reconnect. Just give me a second to go get changed into my normal clothes." Abby told us as she began walking to a bathroom to change.
"It's good you're spending time with her but you need to spend time with mommy dear sometime." She says getting her hands on some of the other foods.
I smile at my mom "Sure mommy I'd love to spend some time with you. What did you have in mind mom. Wait should Abby be calling you grandmother now?" I cup my chin in thought.
"She can call me what she wants. If she thinks of me as her grandma even though she looks twice as old as me then she can call me so. Even if it seems weird to me."
"I see I was just checking mom. You want to come with us mom?" I ask her wondering if she wanted to come with us.
"No it's fine. I haven't had a day off in a few years so I plan on relaxing today."
I qucking give mom a hug hoping this would help "Well if they're was anything you'd like us to get just let me know. By the way is Alex hitting on my angel?"
"Yes she is one of them that is hitting on her."
"Then please let her know if she is seriously considering dating my child then she should talk to me. I know Abby is an adult but as a mother I feel a certain protectiveness over my child." I say in a completely serious tone to convey I was not chancing my child's happiness.
"She should be coming down soon to get breakfast." She informs me.
Looking to the stairs I wait until I hear footsteps coming down them. It should be Alex or one of the others in the house I'll just have to wait and see. "I hope Alex isn't as grumpy as before. Is she mom?"
"Not as much as she used to be. Especially after meeting Abby."
This catches me by surprise Alex used to super grumpy and my girl changed her a lot? "That's surprising given how grumpy Alex was when I last saw her. She must really be in love with my angel then."
"Yeah she changed a lot. Mainly for the better and speaking of the devil." She finishes up as Alex walks in.
Alex looks at us dressed in a casual t-shirt and jeans "Huh? You girl's talken about me somethin?"
"You know we are jackass."
Alex smirks "Well then I hope you were just trash talking me for the hell of it. Or heck my good side." Well she's gotten more charming at least she's the fun type of smart ass now.
"Oh just how your crushin on Abby. My granddaughter." Lucy says teasingly.
Alex blushed as she heard "I um. I-I didn't know she was your granddaughter Lucy."
Lucy then looks at me. "Neither did I till a little while ago."
"That would be my fault. I didn't tell mom sooner. Then something happened and it took longer. You can thank Emmy for bringing me here. I have to say it's nice you aren't so grumpy any more." I tell her with a smile knowing this would get under her skin at least a little bit.
"It has been a few years since you last came to say hi and your daughter inspired me to change somewhat."
"I was dealing with some things. So my daughter helped you became a better person. How sweet its almost like its out of a fairy tail. The young goddess softened the heart of the grumpy dragon." I spoke to her in a playful tone finding this truly amusing.
"Don't tempt me to eat you." Alex says grabbing the jug of orange juice from the fridge.
I decide to back off a bit "Alright I'll stop teasing you. But as Abby's mother I have to ask you a few questions just to satisfy my worry for her. First off what do you see in my daughter. If you were to date her what would be the end goal of your relationship? I'm sorry if I'm making you mad Alex I'm just asking as a parent." I look at Alex to see her actually thinking on this at least its a start.
"End goal huh? Well I guess that'll be whatever Abby wants it to be. I hope its marriage though. She's a free bird hardly anything can keep her down. In all my extremely long life I've never met anyone quite like her. And I'd be a damn fool if I just let her pass me by." Alex told us with a serious faith. She truly did love my angel well I wish her luck then.
"Well you have my blessing to go after her Alex. I wish you luck in getting my angels heart." I tell her with a genuine smile meant to put her at ease.
"Your forgetting your rival Alex." Lucy chirped.
Alex growled at that "That chick Isabel? Oh yeah I'll have to deal with her at some point. Good thing she hasn't even made a move on Abby yet so I don't have much to worry about yet. Even if they both have cooking in common."
Emma then leans into the kitchen grinning. "She's been slowing working her way to her heart Alex. Think a little. Isabel almost spends everyday with Abby and they do both love cooking. Anyways I'm going to get going. Any major request I need to pick up from the store?"
Alex looked very distraught over what Emma told her I decide to think of something "I think we'll need a lot of beef. And some moon Lily extract for Alex if you can find it."
"Got it. Now Alex let me suggest something for you. Talk to Isabel and see if you guys want to do what exactly Selene and Lucy here is doing." She then leans in and whispers something in her ear that we couldn't hear and Alex turns a little red. "Now I'll most likely be back in an hour or so. Bye."
I just had to ask "What did she tell you Alex it's not normal for you to get that red?" I was curious about what she may be planning with my angel. I wonder how long it takes Abby to get changed? She's been gone for a bit now.
Then again she does have a broken arm. Wonder if she's alright. "She was wondering who would be dominating who." Alex says.
Then Ssy speaks up "If Abby is anything like her moms she'll be the one dominating in bed for the most part. Heck I did what most thought impossible and dominated Plutia here even in our CPU forms."
Alex then gets a dreamy look on her face. "That'll be nice."
I giggled as I see that "So you'd like to be dominated by my precious angel. I never thought you'd be into that Alex." Then I look to see Abby walking in..With some woman with dark indigo hair with golden streaks in it. Who was this? She even had scarlet eyeshadow.
"Hi mom sorry I took a bit getting my coat on. A bit hard to get it on with my broken arm. Oh right Isabel this is my mom, Mom this is Isabel a good friend of mine." Abby told me and her. So this is the Isabel I've been hearing about. I think Alex has some serious competition. Isabel looks almost as hot as me when I transform.
"Hello Isabel. How long have you've known Abby?"
Looks between me and Abby "So your Abby's mom? Never thought I'd see the day. Anyways to answer your question. About 6 years going on seven I believe now. We've known each other for awhile now."
"We thought she was dead. It's Emma's doing that we are here this morning."
"I see. My moms would have flipped out if they even thought I was hurt. So Abby mentioned you guys are going into town. Need me to come with? I am the current CPU of Planeptune so I can help with some sightseeing." I think about Isabel's offer it is tempting but looking at Alex it wouldn't be right if we didn't drag her along. Hmm wasn't this supposed to be helping Abby with her errands anyway?
Alex then jumps up. "Do you mind if I join. I want to see what Planipatune has to offer?"
"Sure you can come with. I've actually had a few places I wanted to take you to that I think you'll like. You could consider it a date if you'd want to." Abby said to Alex who gave her a smile with her razor sharp teeth. Though Isabel looked very jealous of this.
"Let's get going then." Alex says with a big grin on her face.
Me and Ssy get up to follow as those three begin leaving I wonder what Abby has planned? Mom made me promise to spend some time with her later so I plan on coming back while there's still daylight. As we leave the house Abby turns to address us "Alright you guys are probably wondering about my errands right? Well some of it is shopping and meeting with some guild members. Though I also have to meet with one of my agents. We settled on a coffee shop for our meeting."
"What's the meeting about or is it classified? Also are we taking a vehicle there, walking, or flying?" Alex asks.
Abby hums "Well we'd drive their but Isabe's car is still covered in paint so not sure about that. Walking would be best to keep a low profile but we can fly half way there if we need to. Also to answer your earlier question it is classified but not to the extent I can't tell you guys a bit of it. My agent has recovered some intel on some groups I'm looking to bring down. One has been a thorn in my side for a while." This catches my attention seems my angel hasn't been idle all these years.
"Which one is that? There's been a few that's been a pain." Isabel asks.
"The anti CPU Coalition. Crashed one of their meetings and killed some of their top guys. That's how my arm got broke by one of them with a mace. Transforming is next to useless sense they have some tech that can disrupt share and negative energy. Can stop magic though so that's good. But some I doubt are even human given how many experiments they've done on themselves." Abby had a grim look on her face as she told us that. These baddies don't sound like they are playing around.
"Hasn't Emma and Falcom been helping you take care of some of the problem in their free time?" Isabel asks.
"Yeah they have but I had to go in alone as both were busy at the time and the time window was slim. Though we haven't really hit them where it hurts yet. We need to hit them in one of their bases to put a dent in them. I've had some of my troops make routine patrols and strengthen internal security. To make it as hard as possible for them to get around. At least in Leanbox." Abby began tapping her fingers on BloodFang's hilt again it seems to help her think and remain calm.
"You know that Belial and I can put a major dent into them if you want." Alex says. "Heck I can just lay down on their base and most if it will be destroyed."
"True but I didn't want to bother you at the time. Though they have made it personal when they decided to shoot up a hospital. When we find one of their bases you can help us crush it. If you want. We should hurry to town." Abby told us after looking at her watch.
"Heck just tell Belial if you need any place destroyed because she really doesn't do much these days and will most likely do it. Shotgun!" Alex says jumping into the passenger seat.
Isabel shrugs and jumps into the driver seat. Me and Ssy sit in the back seat with Abby between us. We start heading to town. I wonder how things will go when we get there? As long as I have my precious angel everything will be alright and who ever hurts her will pay dearly.
