Chapter 7
Rescue
"There are different types of war, the war of power, where two bands fight each other with their raw power to see who is stronger, the war of tactics, where two bands fight using deceiving tactics and schemes, to make the other band fall with the less effort and resources spent, these two types of war have something on common, the leaders never fight, just as in the chess game, there is a third type of war, the war of fear, where the leader is commonly alone, where the leader fights, using tactics and power mixed, on shows meaning to terrorize the opponent, because a scared army do not fight, because a scared leader do not move, I fight wars of fear" –Mark Hunter-
Shadow and Ramza were still on the pokecenter, and while the immediate danger was no more, thanks to the hunger of Gumohime, the Arachnae, there were still many buzzbreasts outside, as if waiting for any tamer stupid enough to try to leave the now web covered pokecenter, for her part, Gumohime had now a bloated belly, for she has jus eat a little too much, so, instead of killing her latest victims, she wrapped them with her web, in order to eat them later, or letting her tamer select one for himself before finally eating her, whatever her beloved Shadow desired
"Now what?, the rest aren't leaving!", Ramza shouted, the last thing he wished, was to become a Buzzbreast, the second thing he didn't want, was to die of starvation inside a pokecenter
"I don't know, I don't think Gumohime can eat more... I'll call Mark again!", Shadow said on distress, for neither Dizzy or Mimi will be able to help him on a fight... and the stingers on the Buzzbreasts tails looked painful, and as Shadow dialed Mark's pokedex, some of the tamers wrote his ID number, for they'll look at him for further advise is something happens to the one with his number
Meanwhile...
Mark was now walking again, and while Reina still had a smile on her face, Jewel was blushing, feeling ashamed of her actions, bu who could blame her?, she only wanted to show her love for Mark, her sister had already the position of Alpha, she only needed to feel useful
"Jewel... Sorry...", Jewel muttered, and Mark stopped, and turned around to face her
"It's ok, I'm not angry, is just that being carried that way is humiliating", Mark said with a smile on his face, on that wasn't faked
"Mark is so prideful!", Reina said with a voice that said she was amused
'I agree', Inner Mark added
"Funny, very funny...", Mark replied with a faked annoyed voice, truth to be told, it has been a long time since the last time he was able to talk so casually with other human being
'Sentient, sentient beings, we haven't spotted true humans in all these years, just monsters of different categories', Inner Mark corrected
'Even when their genetics says otherwise, they are more human in essence than most of the people we have meet up to now, so, to me they are true humans', Mark battled with his inner self, but before Inner Mark could reply, the pokedex made a sound, a sound that signaled an incoming call
"What is it now, Mr. Slayer?", Mark said while opening his pokedex, making Shadow flinch, yep, he was looking at him as an older brother, full of wisdom and easy to anger
"Geez!, how did you know it was me?!", Shadow asked in true awe
"You are the only one with my number...", Mark replied with a bored expression, and he heard some people falling to the ground due to the hilarity of the situation
"Oh, right, sorry, hehehehehehehe", Shadow laughed nervously while scratching the back of his head
"So, did you just call to pass the time?, because if that's the reason...", Mark started his rant, but Ramza quickly took the pokedex to continue with the conversation
"Mr. Hunter, while we are out of danger thanks to your previous advise, we are still far from secure, half of the hive is still outside and waiting for us to go outside!", Ramza informed, remaining as calm as possible, which wasn't much
"I believe that the authorities will attend to your rescue if you ask", Mark replied with a bored voice that the rest of the spectators took as a signal of him seeing this life threatening situation as something fit for newbies to handle, and the Nurse Joy decided to take action, and deal with this like with any other veteran, so, she took the pokedex to have her turn with Mark
"Look, Mr. Hunter, I'll pay you 5000 SLC if you save us NOW!", The nurse said in a tone that demanded to be taken seriously
"Sounds good to me, I'll be there shortly, just one more thing, Shadow...", Mark replied, and directed to Shadow at the end
"Yes?", Shadow asked, not imagining what was coming
"If your Spider pokegirl is still out there when I arrive, I'll kill her along with the Buzzbreasts, and then I'll kill you for letting her be around me", Mark finished while turning off his pokedex
"So, Mark, how are we going to deal with this little crisis?", Reina asked, and Jewel tilted her head in wonder
"In the same way that the people of the old times fought against the little pests that made their lives harder than needed... let's get some poison Ivy and other allergenic herbs, lots of them", Mark half explained, while leading his girl to the next grassy area
"I bet this will be interesting", Reina muttered, she couldn't wait to see what kind of trick her beloved master will pull out
"It's more like something sadistic, but is what must be done", Mark muttered, as if trying to reply to Reina's statement
'That doesn't makes this any less interesting', Inner Mark added
Two hours later...
Inside the pokecenter, the tamers and pokegirls were still taking shelter, for outside, the enraged hive of Buzzbreasts was still hunting for tamers, more now that the Arachnae was out of sight, meanwhile, among the injured, Shadow was added to the count
"OOOOUUUUCCCCHHHHH!!!!", Shadow whined, while his wounds were being attended by a Nurse Joy
"Poor Shadow-koi... you should have allowed me to recall my harem sister... I'm faster...", Dizzy stated, while carefully cuddling with Shadow, as if trying to heal him with her body warmth
"Well, is Shadow's fault, who could trip on his way in, hit the counter, and then fall on top of three girls in a very perverted position?, although he is lucky, the girls could have beaten him, but decided that it was an accident", Ramza said, while Shadow flinched again, earned a few giggles of sympathy from said girls
"It's your fault!, he tripped with you when he entered while evading the Buzzbreasts that were chasing him when he went to retrieve Gumohime from the battlefield!", Dizzy shot back, and Ramza felt cornered
"Well, then it's Mark's fault, he made that warning, thing that scared Shadow to his core", Ramza defended, but when Dizzy was about to keep fighting, the sound of the Buzzbreast grew in intensity, as if in disarray
"LOOK OUT!, SOMEONE IS COMING!, AND THE BUZZBREASTS ARE FALLING BEFORE HIM WITHOUT FIGHTING!!!", Someone shouted, and then everyone was glued to the windows, where they were able to see a tall man covering his mouth and nose with a cloth, he was being accompanied by two pokegirls, one with a sword strapped to her waist, the other, while unarmed, seemed strong enough, both with clothes on their mouths and noses, they were throwing thin cans, with many little opens, and smoke coming out of them... smoke grenades
"SEARCH FOR THE QUEEN!", Mark shouted to his pokegirls, his makeshift grenades were truly knocking down the Buzzbreast way too quickly
"OK BOSS!", Reina replied, while swinging her sword at the few Buzzbreasts that tried to resist the toxic smoke
"JEWEL!... SEARCH!... ", Jewel shouted too, punching and kicking anything that moved
"NEVER MIND!, I FOUND HER!!!", Mark shouted again, the Queen was watching them from a seemingly safe distance, her face, while beautiful, showed anger, and Mark knew, that this was going to end in a battle, so, he prepared himself, and scanned her

"BOSS!, SHALL I BATTLE HER?!", Reina asked, shouting due to the impromptu mask
"NO!, JEWEL WILL BATTLE THIS TIME, HER SKIN IS HARDER, I DON'T WANT A SCRATCH ON YOU, NOT NOW!", Mark replied, and Jewel jumped in front, eager to show her worth
"JEWEL! FIGHT!", Jewel shouted, and as previously instructed, she hardened her skin as much as possible
"GOOD, NOW GO, AND USE THE WRESTLING MOVES WE TALKED ABOUT ALONG THE WAY!", Mark shouted his orders
"JEWEL! SMASH!", the Geogal shouted, while charging against the Queen, but the queen didn't moved, for two Killer breasts appeared out of nowhere, and charged against Jewel, she, while being a rock type, had a numeric disadvantage over the fight, disadvantage that ended way too quickly, for Reina and Mark charged at them
"Just as predicted Boss!, you are the best!", Reina praised her Master, and she even used a normal voice instead of shouting, while beheading one of the Killerbreasts
"Some times it's just too easy... " Mark muttered, while throwing one of the makeshift smoke grenades to the second Killerbreast, knocking her out instantly, his idea worked, he lured the bodyguards out with a seemingly careless frontal attack, just to ambush them and leave the Queen unprotected
"JEWEL WIN!!!", Jewel shouted, at her feet, the Buzzqueen was knocked out, the mix of her surprise, the massive weight of the Geogal, and the smell on her toga, courtesy of the smoke, was just too much to bear
"Good work, Jewel, now is time to finish this senseless battle", Mark stated, and then balled the Queen with not much style, just as the pokeball went still, what was left of the hive, fled from the place, and as soon as the hive left, Mark and his pokegirls entered the pokecenter, but before anyone could cheer, Mark made a frightening entrance
"WHO WAS THE FLAMING IDIOT THAT ENRAGED THAT HIVE AFTER LAST NIGHT'S RAINSTORM?!", Mark shouted his question, and a boy with spiky hair and black jacked stood up
"Hummm... I think that's me, sorry, I thought that I could get the queen and... things got out of control, hehehe, sorry...", the boy stated, unfortunately, Mark was not someone to easily forgive someone
"YOU FLAMING IDIOT, DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MANY JUST DIED TODAY DUE TO YOUR STUPIDITY?!", Mark asked with a fearsome rage, and the boy did what was logic to him
"Hey!, calm down dude, they were only pokegirls!, no humans harmed!", the boy defended, and the present pokegirls would have flinched at that, if not for the murderous aura being expelled by Mark
"What?", the boy asked as if offended, what he saw next, was the last thing he'll remember for a long time, Mark's boot stomping against his face...
"Hey!, calm down!, wasn't it enough violence for a day?", Ramza asked, and as Mark turned around to look at him, near everyone backed down, up to now, they believed him to be a veteran hunter, as taking on an entire hive of Buzzbreasts was not little feat
"I guess it wasn't enough...", Shadow muttered, and this earned a growl from Mark
"I guess you want your payment, don't you, Mr. Hunter?", the Nurse Joy asked, and that earned a happy nod from Mark
'Yep!, a veteran hunter, just show the money, and they are happy... I wonder if he'll be in mood to tame me a little... fuck that, I want a rough night with him!', the Nurse Joy thought
"I also want to sell this Buzzqueen, I have neither the equipment or the time to tame her, and I believe that having your own controlled hive will be more beneficial and secure for your route, I believe that this are another 7500 SLC", Mark said with a smile... that could have scared a veteran merchant, and the Nurse could only pale at the situation
"I don't have that much money...", The Nurse Joy muttered, unfortunately, Mark heard her
"What did you say?", Mark asked, not unfriendly, but in a serious tone, that still was unerving
"Errrr... I may not have the money but... you can take another of our tamerless pokegirls in exchange!, yes, that may satisfy you!, we don't have much but, you'll find some fair trade for the Buzzqueen!", the Nurse Joy quickly offered, and Mark raised an eyebrow at this
'Interesting, I may find something to fill my need of transportation, or complement the battle skills of my girls', Mark thought
'That is possible, but remember to ask about the other reward, we still need the money', Inner Mark added
"Of ourse I'm still paying you the other 5000 SLC, is just that rigt now I don't have enough to pay for the Buzzqueen", the Nurse Joy replied, guessing the thoughts of the tamer, Mark nodded ant this, and then he followed the Nurse to another room
Meanwhile...
Ramza, Shadow, and other tamers, were currently 'cleaning up' the mess outside the pokecenter, and by cleaning up, it means salvaging pokegirls and whatever they could get from the corpses, Buzzbreasts that were still alive were captured, pokegirls that were still paralyzed or poisoned due to the attack were balled and saved, dead pokegirls were simply removed, it was during this cleaning, that Ramza found someone he wasn't exactly ready to meet
"Sister?... Alma, is that you?", Ramza whispered to a pink haired girl, who was under some Buzzbreasts, and looked unconscious
"Who is she?, you know her?", Shadow asked, while getting closer to Ramza, scanning the girl

Back with Mark...
"Are you sure you want that one?", The Nurse Joy asked, unable to believe what she heard
"Yes, I'm sure, I want this one", Mark replied, since he put his eyes on her, it was as if he knew that if he doesn't take her, she'll only have loneliness on her life, Mark scanned her anyway

"But it's a Milktit... and one unable to fight...", the Nurse Joy stated, she knew she had to be truthful, or else this tamer will return angry, and she didn't want that
"I'm still taking her, I don't want her for fighting", Mark Replied, and the Milktits perked her ears at this, she was about 5' 5'', almost completely human, except for her cow tail and little horns on her forehead, her har, short, was a mix of white with black spots, and as natural on her spices, she had a generous DD cup breast
"Ok, I'll make the transfer, but... at least allow me to give you an everstone, it still don't make up for the Buzzqueen, but it'll prevent this Milktit from becoming into a less desirable Minotaura
"Fine, if you don't mind, I'll take a room with a bathroom, I need to clean myself, and tame my girls", Mark stated, and then he took the hand of the Milktit
"And you are coming with me", Mark softly said to the blushing girl
Meanwhile in the lobby...
"DIZZY!, MIMI!, LOOK!, I GOT ANOTHER POKEGIRL!", Shadow replied, while sowing the pokeball to the two pet pokegirls, who were happily clapping, praising their tamer, meanwhile, Ramza was clutching a pokeball to his chest
"Don't worry, little sister, I won't let any dirty tamer to touch you, and I'll never allow you to go feral, I promise", Ramza whispered, he hated himself from having to tame his sister, but he won't have it any other way
