Chapter Five: A Boardwalk

Hiroshi, Suzu, Yori, and Tomoko were grouped together as they all had a special ability along with a unique armament. They were heading down a hallway, as Hiroshi was in a fresh new school uniform instead of sticky rags.

"So where are we going again?" Suzu wondered. She was walking behind the rest of them as Yori was up front and the two others were in between.

"The boardwalk," Hiroshi repeated. "I recently found another exit that can take us there. I feel like we all need a break from fighting so much, and plus, maybe we'll find another monster there."

"Monster monster!" Yori teetered. Hiroshi explained to them that he was aware of the incubus, and how some of the students that he knew had disappeared. He had seen teachers go berserk onto fellow classmates, in which he somehow had the ability to fight back. He stopped at a door as Suzu could see the next hallway go outward through the glass windows.

"Wait. Let me get some swimwear." The male partner went to the first locker on the left of the door, opened it up, pulled out a brown backpack, and shut it. He threw the sash over his left shoulder as he then opened up the door. "Alright. Go ahead." Yori led the way as Tomoko, Suzu, and Hiroshi went into the similar walkway, but the sapphire door up ahead about fifty feet appeared to be worn and rusty.

"Are you sure about this?" Suzu whined. The thought of sneaking out and leaving the rest of the school with the incubus seemed hazardous, or without their protection more students would be violated. All because they were taking a break on the sunny beach.

"Yeah. Come on!" Yori boasted from the front of the group. She slammed her right hand onto the silver knob as she quickly opened up the door. The sunlight pierced their eyes as the path changed into a wooden set of stairs going downward. Suzu could barely remember the last time that she had seen daylight since for the past while she had been indoors with a night sky.

The group went down the stairs as they eventually reached sand, and an astounding view of the ocean. Up ahead was the water with the clean and airy clouds hovering in the sky. The waves were crashing against the shore as a twenty-foot cliff unfortunately separated them from the shore. Hiroshi directed them to the boardwalk as it appeared to be a twenty-foot wide path made of trees with shacks on both sides.

Suzu felt the wind across her face as the smell of salt water penetrated her nose. They had entered a boardwalk or a shopping area with a small crowd of people walking about. Each shed, or store, was about ten feet away from the next one. The doors were various, or had items pertaining to the items inside. Hiroshi stopped the group at a bathroom stall as they each put on a swimsuit, and stored their school uniforms into the bag.

The girls had on bikinis of various colors, or light blue for Suzu, lavender for Yori, and hazel green for Tomoko. Hiroshi was wearing a simple scarlet pair of swimming boxer shorts. Without his top on he appeared to be a skinny male with some bone showing, or a lack of muscles. They all gathered at the beginning of the boardwalk as he put his arms into the air.

"Welcome to paradise," he joked. "Er, the beach is at the end of the boardwalk." The girls were delighted to see so many attractive shops around, but the man had one more thing to say. "It's probably best if we avoid the stores and stay together. I sense something, but it's really faint."

"Me too," Tomoko agreed. "I mean, we can't stay here for very long." Yori and Suzu remained quiet, as it seemed anonymously determined that their break was going to be brief.

"Well, come on!" Hiroshi was in front of Tomoko as Suzu was behind her and Yori was in the back for once. The females glanced about furiously staring at the different shop signs and items. The amount of people around was few, but some of them looked like students.

"So why did no one lead the students here?" Suzu asked. "Like um, as a safe refuge until the monsters were gone?"

"It's a good idea, but if the monsters found the exit they would just block it," Tomoko explained. "Most of the doors were locked."

"Oh." Suzu frowned as her eyes immediately went to the wooden path. They were all wearing cinnamon sandals to guard their feet from the heat. She eventually looked up again and got over the momentary discomfort. Eventually, they reached the middle of the boardwalk, or were that much closer to the beach. There were boats parked below as some people were using them to get from that boardwalk to the other side or a separate path with more shops and houses.

"Huh?" Yori stopped as one shed took interest, but the rest of the group didn't seem to notice. She stood in front of it as it had a wooden doorframe, hay as the roof, and wooden chips for the walls. The door was wide open as a male and female teenager stepped inside. 'Hm. Time to investigate.' The violet-haired girl overlooked the fact that she was with a group, and headed inside.

'That's odd.' To her astonishment no one was there in the shaded room, except for a set of wooden stairs going below. It was a fifty-foot wide and long room completely made out of wood, along with some ocean like decorations along the walls. The two people from earlier weren't anywhere as she began going down the steps.

'Maybe they went down here,' she thought. The ten-foot long steps went into another room about the same size, but there was a hole on the opposite side with water coming out of it. Everything seemed still as she could softly hear the ocean waves from outside. The water appeared to be deep as some sand reached the entire floor, except for the area around the bottom of the steps.

'Oh! I could go swimming down here!' Yori teetered. Some light was entering the room, as the space seemed rather abandoned and vacant. She stepped onto the sand as the floor felt like it was on a slant, or the farther in she went the deeper it became. Her toes fiddled about in her sandals as she gave off a huge smile.

Suddenly, a black tentacle shot out of the water as Yori immediately took out Ori, and sent a blast of flames at it. "I knew you were here!" she shouted. Her defenses were down for a bit there, but the girl could tell that something was amiss. Another extension was exposed as they attempted to grasp her and pin her down. She continued shooting various spells at them, but more and more similar tentacles were coming out of the water and toward her innocent body.

"Grr. I'm outnumbered!" she hollered aloud. She was scurrying back and forth across the sand trying to avoid getting pinched by the concealed monster. The female eventually was back on the steps, but some crabs were stepping onto them with their claws ready to pierce her vulnerable skin. It was like an oceanic assault as embers, ice, and lightning was scattering about from her staff.

"You sure are powerful!" Yori complimented. She hadn't faced a monster with such agility and strength before, which was worrying her with anxiety in the pits of her stomach. She was also alone and not aware of where her friends had went. The tentacle arms continued to flail about as the ones that were fortunately struck went back into the water, but more and more of them shot out. She eventually felt herself getting exhausted as the crabs ahead blocked the stairs.

"Dangit!" She gritted her teeth as she was stuck between two enemy lines, and only had one weapon. Eventually a tentacle snatched her right wrist as she was immediately flown into the air. "Let go of me!" Her petite hands were loose as she accidentally dropped Ori, and became a bit sick from being upside down. The tentacle grabbing her knocked her against the wall as everything went black.

A while later, Yori opened up her eyes to find herself on the sand and about a foot away from the water's edge. Her sandals and Ori were nowhere to be seen. "Get off!" Her hands didn't budge as she glanced up to see them hanging over her head with a tentacle stretched from somewhere keeping them tied together. Her ankles were also pinned to the floor, as she couldn't move anything but her torso. 'This isn't good.' Yori hadn't been in a situation that intense before, the uneasiness filling her up from head to toe. Her feet could feel the gentle waves of the ocean sometimes going over, but then receding back.

Yori suddenly sensed something else on her right foot as she glanced down to see a horrifying sight. An inch long and two-inch thick pale worm slug was inching up her leg, and another two of them were also following along behind it. She could see the creatures surround her as they were coming out from the water.

"No! You feel icky!" Yori squirmed in disgust as the slimy worms crawled up her legs, and inched closer to her bikini bottom. Three of them went past her stomach as two of them went onto her flat chest, and another one went up her neck. "Gross!" Before she could say anything else the worm instantly filled her mouth with its body. She let out muffled laments as the worms along her chest slipped into her bikini top.

The female let out a moan as the worms could be felt nibbling onto her bosoms, which felt like the tickling sensation. Her cheeks turned red as a moan sounded, and her being was becoming uncontrollably aroused.

A worm stumbled into her lower bikini piece as its slippery self made its way to her concealed entrance. Another groan came out of her mouth as it began teasing her youthful virginity. A second slug was instantly beside it as pre-cum began trickling out.

'No…Stop…' Yori begged. 'It feels weird.' Soft tears dripped down her face as she had a thought about where they would go next. She sensed pleasure enveloping her as her chest and entrance were being daintily taunted by the worms. One of them stuck its head inside for a brief moment as a wave of sensuality engulfed her entire being. She suddenly wanted the worm within, or for something immense to enter her.

The spell caster twitched with a chill as her lower bikini piece became loose, and was tossed onto the sand. The weight of the slugs was too much for the attire to handle. Yori felt the worm in her mouth wriggle and squirm, as she wanted to clench her teeth instead. The amount of worms across her waist briskly increased from a few to a dozen within minutes. She felt more and more of them going up her legs as if gathering together.

'Ah! It hurts!' To her astonishment the worm finally pressed into her, and began making its way through her walls. Her legs were apart as she sensed the thick creature burrowing through her, and an overwhelming sensation tingling throughout her body during the process. Another worm joined it as she loudly groaned again, and was swiftly becoming filled with them.

The first one reached her stomach as she could experience it swimming and squirming about within, and soon another worm along with it. Each time that a slug entered her a sensitivity of titillation soared through her. Shortly after, her stomach began to grow, and the worms could be seen moving about.

'I'm going to explode!' Yori cried. Her stomach was stretched and expanded as the worms continued plowing into her. Some were even using her butt as an entrance, which was rather discomforting. 'No more! I'll burst!' She sensed the limits to her stomach size, as there were dozens of worms within her.

Suddenly, the worm in her mouth and in her upper attire exited as she felt the tentacle around her wrists release her. The weight of her stomach caused her to drop to the sand, as her legs were wide open in a birthing position.

"Nh! So…Full…" Yori had her hands on her ballooned midriff as she could sense the worms moving around beneath her fingers. The consequence of her abdomen made her unable to move, even though she was desperate to get out of there as soon as she could. Her eyes were facing the water, as she was unable to see if anyone was coming for her or not.

Suddenly, her stomach began to violently twitch as she hollered out in ache, and sensed that something was trying to get out. Her hands fell to the sand as she wailed and felt her heart throb in uneasiness.

"No!" Yori exclaimed. "It's coming out!" The worms were thrashing about as she began heavily breathing and felt the unearthly event begin to unfold. Her body excruciatingly readied itself for the first worm as she felt it go through her entrance, and pop out a moment later. "I'm giving birth! Ah!" Another worm prostrated out as the disturbing process continued.

"Yori!" a voice sounded as she heard someone running up to her from behind. She spotted Suzu, Tomoko, and Hiroshi standing above her, as they were horrified to see her condition.

"Help me!" Yori complained. The worms were coming out by the numbers as each one entered the water after leaving her body.

"As long as they are going out it will end," Tomoko suggested.

"Look!" Hiroshi pivoted as the familiar dismal tentacles appeared again, but this time with the main body. The monster had the image of a giant blue squid, but its many scarlet fierce eyes stared at them with terror.

"Good! There are more victims for my children," the creature uttered with a chortle. Yori remained behind them as she continuously spewed worms from her entrance.

"Whoa! It's a Jelly Oma," Tomoko gasped. "They use the ocean to hide while intimidating the foe."

"How do we get over to it without entering the ocean?" Suzu wondered.

"We have to pull it out," Tomoko said. Hiroshi glanced behind them to see the stairs, but the crabs were there once more.

"Suzu, let's fight off the tentacle arms. Tomoko will destroy the crabs while we make our way up." Hiroshi was a bit concerned about Yori though since she was in the center of the room, and still unable to move. Suzu used Uzu to slice at any tentacles that were near her, and Hiroshi pounded them with Oshi. Tomoko used ice as the crabs froze, and were obliterated into tiny pieces after Oko's tip smashed them.

"Good! This might work!" Hiroshi beamed. The Jelly Oma began coming out of the pool as it was swiftly being removed of arms. They reached the middle of the stairs as Tomoko continued focusing on any sea animals, and Suzu and Hiroshi were easily getting rid of the extensions. Eventually the Jelly Oma was on the sand as it avoided Yori, and began grasping items from the ocean to use for throwing.

"Don't hurt my children!" it bellowed. Pieces of wood and trash were flung about as Suzu and Hiroshi was hit several times. The waves were becoming massive as the movement of the beast was causing a lot of ripples.

"Shut up!" Hiroshi screamed. He then scurried across the stairs and sand as he jumped into the air, and pounded the top of the Jelly Oma with his right hand. Suzu followed as she sliced through its head, and Tomoko ended it with stinging flames. The enemy roared and shrieked as it eventually exploded into ash from the spreading calamity. The group then huddled around Yori as she was still in the same position, but her stomach was slowly shrinking.

"Are you going to be okay?" Suzu inquired. Her hands were clasped together in anxiousness.

"I don't know…" Yori replied between grunts. She tried to ignore them as more and more worms burst out. "What if I have to do this for hours?" Another worm painfully came out as she had short breaths between each delivery. "I'm really sorry, everyone. For going off and all."

"It's okay, Yori," Suzu mumbled. "If you hadn't come here we wouldn't have found the monster." She paused and then turned to the others. "What is a Jelly Oma exactly?" She looked at Hiroshi and Tomoko as they all faced the ocean, and felt the waves go across their feet.

"It's an upper class monster that obscures itself before attacking, and then uses a host to deliver its offspring repeatedly. If we hadn't defeated it Yori might've been filled with those things again."

"It's physically and emotionally draining on the opponent," Hiroshi added. "I hear it gets worse too if the individual lasts long enough." He shuddered a little as Suzu nodded her head in dismay.

"Once she's done we'll head back to the school," Tomoko told them both. "We have no reason of being here any longer, correct?"

"Yeah," Hiroshi agreed. Suzu silently shook her head, as she wanted to go to the beach instead for a while longer.
