This is the last chapter to work on editing and now I can focus on the next chapter but it will take time. Enjoy this for now till a later chapter. Note: a little of swearing.
Later, the moss monster and their master, Roger, are taking Sota. Roger is taking Sota's hand in married.
The moss monster bought Sota to a room where is located at Roger's palace. Sota is taken to the palace of Roger where they saw at the forest. She (He) is taken to a fancy room that is full of gold and luxury and royalty room.
Sota is put down at the bed. Roger went up to her (him). He got too close to Sota.
'This is invading my personal space.' Sota thought in disgust.
"So what is your name, my beloved?" Roger asks.
"My name is Sota." Sota said. He hopes that the name will give him a clue that he is a boy.
"Wow, you're parents are not good with girl names. So I will change into...Rose. Like your beautiful lips."
Sota's eyes turn big and felt his mind is screaming in the inside. 'AAAAHAHHH!'
Black Mist covers his mouth with his hand try not to laugh. 'I would find this disturbing if I didn't find this funny.' Black Mist said in his mind.
Roger went close to Sota and puckers his lips. 'HE"S GOING TO KISS ME!' Sota said in her (his) thoughts. 'NO NO NO NO!'
"Pssst." Black Mist is getting Sota's attention. He looked at Black Mist that he is hiding under the bed. "Use the pillow." Black Mist whispered.
Sota grabbed a pillow and put it in his face and the kiss is blocked.
"Oh, are the one of those playing hard to get? I love those types." Roger said in a low voice. Sota shivers as Roger try to charm her (him).
"We will get a wedding start and we get a real kiss." Roger said. He wave him goodbye like a couple. When Roger and the moss monster left the room.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Sota screamed in a high pitch girl scream.
Sota collapsed in the bed and put the pillow on his head.
"This is troublesome..." Black Mist said. "I know that it is a human's dream to get married but this is ridiculous."
"Black Mist!" Sota said in girl tears. She (He) is not happy about this plus he is a male and not female. "This unlucky of me! I don't want to marry him! " Sota shout. Black Mist doesn't know what to do so he did...something.
"It is ok, kid. We will get you out of this." Black Mist said with comfort words. "We are not going to let him marry you." Sota stop crying. "Man, you are more emotional when you are a girl." Black Mist said as he rolls his eyes.
"Black Mist?" A voice is heard in Black Mist's head. "Are you with Sota?"
"Astral? Is that you?" Black Mist said. Astral is using telepathy to talk to Black Mist.
"Where are you?" Astral said.
"We are at the Roger's palace as we speak. They are getting ready for Sota's wedding." Black Mist said.
"Dang, this isn't good. So they are getting ready soon." Astral said.
"What are we going to do?" Black Mist asks Astral.
Astral is now on his thinking cap. "Black Mist, Mimi's father is getting the antidote ready but he needs more time.
Black Mist sighed. " Damn, at a time like this. We need to get the Flower Diamond and get Sota back to normal."
"Flower Diamond...Hold on a second, Black Mist "Astral said. He went a talk to Mimi.
"Mimi, where do you think the Flower Diamond is held." Astral ask.
Mimi has her hand on her chin and is in deep thought. And then she gasped.
"I remember! That is the flower that is growing at Roger's palace." Mimi explained.
Astral and Black Mist and the others are shocked on what they learned. "Are you sure?" Yuma ask.
Mimi nodded, "Yes, I am sure it is there. "
Astral and the others are surprised what they heard about what is going on at Roger's palace.
"But you have to hurry because the Flower Diamond that is gone soon.
"Why?" Yuma ask. "He is using it for money. He is going to travel to different galaxies to get paid so he can get rich. You need to get some of the diamond before it is gone. If not the next flower will not bloom for the next ten years." Mimi said.
Yuma and Sota are shocked as they heard Mimi's explaining about the flower.
"Oh-man, this is not good." Black Mist said. He took a deep breath.
"Ok, we will get there as fast as we can-." Yuma said but Black Mist interrupted.
"No, you guys stay at the village and try to get the anidote ready for Sota. I am going to find the Flower Diamond so I can break the curse. So stay." Black Mist said.
Astral is surprise that Black Mist's idea. But why is it that he acts on his own will? Is it because of Sota?
"Ok, but be careful, you know that the people here can see you and try not to get caught." Astral said.
"Got it." Black Mist said. Astral and Black Mist stop their conversation and went to the door.
"Black Mist? Where you going?" Sota ask. He is wondering where is he going.
"I am going out. Just wait here kid." Black Mist said as he open the door.
"Be careful, Black Mist." Sota said. Black Mist nodded and went out.
"Be safe." As he send him a pray.
Black Mist floats thought the halls to find a clue. He has to find the Flower Diamond before the diamond is gone and it won't grow again about ten years. He tries to not get caught by the monsters or get seen by anyone.
Black Mist then hears a voice. He saw a big door and he took a peek and heard a familiar voice.
"No, that won't do. I need my bride to be more beautiful than ever as she walk to my side." A voice said. Black Mist waked in the room quietly and hides. He saw Roger ordering some female villagers from Mimi's village. They are sewing together a beautiful white dress. It must be for Sota.
"Is this better?" the woman said timidly. Roger looked at the dress at ever angle as he looked.
"It needs a tiara with a veil!" Roger shouts at them. "I want it to be beautiful. Beautiful, I tell you!" Roger ordered.
"Yes, sir." The woman said with fear. The women flinched as they continue working on the dress.
"Now if you excuse me. I need to get my bride's ring ready." Roger said as he left the room.
Black Mist start following him.
Roger went outside of the palace and follows him to a different building that has a glass globe ceiling. Roger went in unaware that Black Mist is following him.
Black Mist went in the building and saw Flower Diamond. It is a pink diamond with green leaves. It shines like a thousand moonlights as it shines in the building like a disco ball.
There are monsters that are surrounding the place. He also saw some of the villagers watering the flower. He also saw pick axes as the slaves are chipping the diamond off the flower. It is almost gone...
"This is not good." Black Mist whispered.
There is another door behind the building. When Black Mist is about to follow him then he feels pain as he try to get to the door.
"No, I can't get there any farther." Black Mist said. He curse himself for not able to continue following him. Black Mist decides to give up and went back to Sota.
Later, Black Mist went to door that leads to Sota's room.
"I am coming in." Black Mist said. Black Mist saw Sota sweating. He is nervous that he doesn't know what to do. Sota saw Black Mist and start talking.
"So have you found the flower?" Sota ask. Black Mist nodded. "Yes, I find the Flower Diamond but it is chipping off little by little and it is almost gone. I can't continue following him. I am at the limit of separated by you. I can't go farther."
Sota's face turn pale. "What are we going to do?" Sota said. He is worried about the diamond being gone by now. Would they have to wait other ten years for it to grow back?
There is an open in the door and came in Roger. "Hi my darling bride? Are you doing alright, my love?" Roger asks.
Sota has an angry look on her (his) face as he glared at him
Roger then smiled. "Well, the wedding is starting a few and I want my bride to be happy and be with me all eternity." Roger said.
Sota turn pale when he heard that he is going to get married soon. 'Astral! Yuma! Everyone! Anybody! Help me!' Sota screamed in his head.
Black Mist is now knows that he needs Astral and his friend's help to stop this wedding.
Black Mist thought of something and he use telepathy to talk to Astral again. "Astral, it's me. I need to you guys to..."
The wedding is about to begin...
There are lots of people from the village that they caught and Roger's monsters are sitting waiting for the wedding to start. A few of Roger's monsters are crying for Roger's happiness. Black Mist is operating the wedding. He can't be seen just yet. He is not doing anything without Astral and the others.
"Come on, Astral. There isn't much time." Black Mist whispered. Black Mist bit his lip of impatient.
Roger is taking a deep breath and twitching his fingers as he is waiting impatient for Sota: his 'bride'. The piano start playing as the door opened. Sota walking down the alley as a monster is escorting Sota to Roger. She (He) is wearing a dress that is made by the women from the village.
It has a plain top, as there are gemstones at the bottom of the dress as it has beatiful stitching. She (He) is wearing a golden tiara with a veil on it.
The monster that is taking Sota to the alley is crying. "I am so happy for you." The moss monster said. Sota has a sour look on his face. "When I get out of this, I am going to make you cry." Sota threat him.
When Sota went to the alley as the monster hold Sota in place so he won't escape.
"We bring together Roger and Rose together on this beautiful day. Roger would you like to take Rose to be your lawfully wedded wife." The priest said.
"I do." Roger said.
"Oh, this is not good." Black Mist said. The vows are starting...
"And you Rose, would you take Roger as your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asks.
"N-mm" Sota try to say no but then the moss monster put his hand on her (his) mouth. "She does." The moss monster answered.
"Put a ring in your bride's finger." The priest said. Roger took the Sota's hand and put a ring on her (his) finger. "You may now kiss the bride." Roger grabs Sota' s shoulders and got closer to him and tries to put his lips to Sota's.
"No! I don't want to get marry! I am a boy!" Sota yelled.
"I am not falling for that. A lot of girls try to say that but I am not fooled." Roger said as he proceed try to kiss Sota.
"No! No! No!" Sota flail so he can get away from Roger.
"Somebody! Anybody! HELP!" Sota screamed.
Then there was a burst in the door, the crowd looked and saw Yuma, Mimi, Kotori, Rio, Astral and Cathy also the little bat.
"Let that bride. She isn't what you think." Yuma shout. Yuma and the others went up the alley. "You can't have my bride." Roger said. "Let's go, minion."
The moss monster threw Sota on its shoulder and they start running away. "Hey, let me go!" Sota yelled.
"Monsters, stop them." Roger commands. The moss monsters went to the gang and surrounded them. The caughted villages are scared and ran away from the wedding and head home.
Rio, Yuma, Kotori and Cathy went in front of Astral, Black Mist and Mimi.
"Astral. Black Mist. Take Mimi and help Sota. We will deal with them." Rio said. Yuma and the girls nodded, they are saying to them that they could handle this.
"Ok, got it." Black Mist said. He, Astral and Mimi went after Roger and Sota.
At the roof the tree, Roger and the monster took Sota at the roof.
"Let us have our kiss. So we can become husband and wife." Roger said. He tries to kiss him again. But Sota keeps dodging his lips. "No! I am telling you! I am a boy, not a girl!" Sota said. As she (he) try to get away from him.
"Stop!" Mimi appeared with Astral and Black Mist. "Your time for slavery and finding a bride is over." Mimi said.
"Why, you guys always get in my way with my happiness." Roger complains.
"Because us girls are not ready for married. Plus you are jerk." Mimi said. She grows an arrow out of her arm and aim and shoots the moss monster on the head. It got hit and collapsed.
Roger grabs Sota by the waist. "You are not having my bride." Roger said.
"My Ultimate Monster will stop you!"
There was a rumbling in the ground. Astral, Black Mist and Mimi saw a really huge monster that is big like Galaxy Eyes Dragon. It is a shape of a dragon but like the moss monsters.
"It is Moss Dragon!" It took a deep breath and releases a purple gas.
"Poison!" Astral said. It hit Black Mist, Astral and Mimi. They went on their knees as they started shaking. "The poison... is taking... affect." Astral voice is shaking. Astral and Mimi are now collapsing on the ground.
"Now, they can't stop us. Kiss me." Roger said to Sota. "No! I refuse!" Sota shouted.
Black Mist struggles to call his Number. He finally called Number 96.
"Use Shadow Gain." Black Mist said.
Number 96 uses its Shadow Gain. The attack hit Moss Dragon but it didn't take effect. It then attacked Number 96 and knocked it down.
"Something is wrong? Shadow Gain is not working" Black Mist said.
"That is right." Roger said. "Moss grows in darkness. That means when you attack Moss Dragon, it can't be hurt or it's effect doesn't work on it." Roger explains. "Moss Dragon, keep attacking so it will become a lifeless corpse."
The Moss Dragon keeps attacking Number 96 and Number 96 can't do anything about it.
Black Mist is frustrated now that his monster is going to be done for. He doesn't know what to do.
'No, it can't end like this.' Sota know she (he) have to do something. So he got her (his) monster card and called White Maiden Sorceress.
"Protect Number 96!" Sota commands. White Maiden Sorceress went in front of Number 96 and block Moss Dragon's attack. She pushes the dragon away from Number 96.
" I use original effect of White Maiden Sorceress. She uses her powers to support any monster I choose. I choose Number 96. I use one of its effects to change Number 96 into a light monster. That means that Number 96 can now attack." Sota explain. "Go Black Mist, take him down!"
Black Mist smirk. "Not bad, kid." Sota did a good job to support him. "Number 96 attack Moss Dragon!" Black Mist commands Number 96 attacks but the attack is in a white aura instead of black.
It hit Moss Dragon and this time it is affected. The attack causes it to shrink. "Finish it up!" Number 96 attacks it in its claws and it got slashed in half. Then it reduces into nothing then harmless moss.
Sota is relieved but it is short lived...
"Forget this! Kiss me!" Roger said.
"NO! I don't want to!" Sota yelled. Sota twisted her (his) body away try to get away from him.
Mimi got something out of her pocket and it was a small bottle. "Sota! Caught!" Mimi yelled and she threw it to Sota. She (He) grabs it and drank it.
"Ewww! This is taste gross!" Sota said. It did make her (him) feel weird like the time he got that pink slime in her (his) mouth.
"Kiss me, Rose." Roger said. He closes his eyes, as his lips get closer.
"Get away from me." Sota said. But there is something different in her (his) voice. Roger open his eyes and saw Rose's face man like. He is back to his old self. (Now I can stop with her and him sentence now.)
"Wait, you are telling the truth that means...EWWWW! I tried to kiss you!" Roger said in disgust.
"Don't remind me! I need years of therapy for this!" Sota yelled back. Black Mist, Astral and Mimi sigh in relive that their friend is back to normal.
Astral, Mimi and the others got Roger tied up and went back to Yuma and the others. "Sota! You're back! ... But you are still wearing a dress." Yuma said.
"Yeah, I will change back." Sota said.
"Before we go back. Roger can you give us the Flower Diamond, so we can help Sota." Mimi said.
"Sorry but if you go to the main garden where it is. It is gone. I used it all up and it is now sold to people in different galaxies." Roger explains.
"No. That means we have to wait to wait ten more years." Black Mist whispered. He bit his lip in frustration.
"You no good! " Sota yelled. He is ready to punch Roger in the face. Yuma grab his arm. "Don't! Hitting him won't solve anything!" Yuma said.
Sota took a deep breath as he put his hand on his necklace. His ring shines really bright as he shines near the necklace as it turn lighter. It is still black but it starts to show golden colors like Yuma's necklace.
"What is going on?" Sota said in confusion.
"I wonder? Roger, what kind of material is that ring is made have?" Rio asks Roger.
"Oh yeah, I made that necklace out of shards of the Flower Diamond." Roger explains.
"So it means the ring is a Flower Diamond." Rio said.
"Wow, how know." Astral said.
"Looks like the spell is breaking more." Black Mist said.
"Yeah." Sota nodded. He should be happy but there is an uncomfortable feeling in his heart when the necklace's spell is broken. He and Black Mist will be separated soon.
"Oh!" Mimi said. "I forgot to give our little bat friend, her antidote." Mimi said. Mimi shows the antidote to the bat. Before the bat can get to the antidote. It went up to Rio.
"Aww. I will miss you too." Rio said. She starts petting the bat but it then bit her in the hand. "OWWW!"
Yuma and the others are shocked on what they saw. The bat drank some of Rio's blood and start flying and took the antidote with it and flew out of the window.
"What the hell was that?" Yuma said. The other looks at each other and wonders why did it do that? They look at the window where the bat flew.
Meanwhile, the bat is at a tree and drank the antidote.
It turns into... Eris!
"Geez, that is pretty careless of me being turn into an animal. But on the bright side, they didn't notice a thing." Eris said. She got a vial and spit out the blood that she took from Rio.
"Soon...you will be revived, Master Don Thousand."
Later, now that the quest is done, that gang went back to the airship. The gang is on their way back home.
"Man, that is some adventure we have." Cathy said.
"Yeah, it is more crazy than our previous ones." Rio said.
The girls are chatting away as they talk about the adventure they have. Black Mist saw Sota sitting on the flooring looking at the necklace.
"What is up, kid?" Black Mist asks.
Sota went silent until he said, "It is almost time for us to be separated." Sota said. "I am going to miss those time when we are together."
Black Mist blinked when he heard Sota said. Sota is saying that he loves his time when he is with Black Mist and the others. He saw Sota' sad look and felt... bad.
"Well, I have my goals that I want to fulfill. There are times things like this have to end in one point. Doesn't mean we should enjoy the time we have left together. I have to say even you are a pain in my butt...You are not bad to hang out with." Black Mist said.
Sota gasped when he heard Black Mist said. "Really?" Sota said. Black Mist nodded. Sota finally smiled.
"Thought there is one thing that made my day." Black Mist said.
"Really, what's that?" Sota ask. Black Mist smiles. "Hehe.." He starts giggling until he started to laugh.
"You being a female! That is just rich!" Black Mist laughed. "I never thought you are going to be bride neither." Black Mist continues to laugh.
"Shut up, I try to forget all that." Sota said angrily.
Yuma start laughing as well. "Well it is funny." Yuma said. He starts laughing as well.
"He is right." Astral said. He smiled with amusement. Astral think it is funny too.
The girls start laughing as well. "We thought we never see the day that we have another 'girl' friend." Kotori said.
Sota turn bright red out of embarrassment and frustration. He marches out of the room to find himself out of the room to escape the humiliation.
Please wait for the next chapter.
