Aurore's Moemon Adventure
Chapter 62
"Hey, Aurore, what's the deal with those 'emergency stop' buttons in the elevators?" Lulu asked, staring up at the skylight over twenty stories above her head. She was slouching on one of the couches, her appearance totally sloven.
"What do you mean?" Aurore asked from the chair next to her, frowning. "It's supposed to stop the elevator in case of an emergency."
"That's my point!" Lulu said, sitting up. "There are ZERO emergencies that could be solved by entrapping yourself in a solid metal box with people you don't know, dangling over an empty void."
"…Point taken." Aurore said, nodding.
"I'm pretty sure it's only purpose is to inform the cleaning crew when someone is having sex in their elevator." Lulu giggled.
"Come on, you call that endurance?" Bluebell asked, frowning. She was holding Hina over the pool, holding her head under more specifically.
"Oh, Bluebell, I don't think you should do that." Lilith said, smiling, knocking Bluebell into the pool. She helped Hina up, her hair dripping wet and her flame sputtering.
"I'm sorry, but your flame doesn't appear to be in very good shape." Lilith said, frowning.
"It's fine." Hina said, looking down, blushing. "Our flames don't go out, understand…"
"Well, that's good then." Lilith said, smiling. "Although I think you should be more open. Maybe Bluebell wouldn't pick on you so much if you weren't so shy…"
"But it's hard to make friends…" Hina said, looking down.
"Now, nonsense." Lilith said, smiling. "There are a couple of girls over there who'd love to get to know you better." Hina turned her head and saw Rin and Petilil peeking out from behind a couch. When Hina noticed them, they quickly ducked back behind the couch.
"Um, thank you for your help!" Hina said, bowing to Lilith. She held her hand out, orange flames dancing in the palm of it. She reached out and pressed her hand against Lilith's chest, Lilith feeling warmth and happiness flooding her body.
Hina smiled cheerfully, and went to go talk to Rin and Petilil.
"Damn!" Bluebell exclaimed, pulling her head up from the pool. "I'm so used to breathing when I enter the water, it's become a reflex…"
"I see." Lilith said, uninterested.
"I almost died!" Bluebell exclaimed.
"Yeah, that's nice…" Lilith said, shrugging.
"Master…" Yuni said, floating towards Aurore.
"Yeah?" Aurore asked, looking back to her.
"I feel nervous…" Yuni said, frowning. "I feel something strange about the person plotting against us…"
"What do you mean?" Aurore asked, concerned.
"I'm not sure…" Yuni said, frowning. "It just seems like there is something deeper here…"
"I agree." Aurore said, nodding. "Still, we have at least twelve more opponents to defeat…"
"I know. I just don't know who they are…" Yuni said, nodding.
"Well, don't worry." Aurore said, smiling. "We'll be prepared for anything that happens."
"Yes." Yuni said, nodding.
"Hey, Aurore." Lulu said, staring at Aurore, frowning.
"Yeah?" Aurore asked, turning to Lulu.
"I want to make a deal with you." Lulu said, frowning. "Listen, in the future, if I ever do something stupid like try to take a Philosopher's Stone and get caught in a booby trap that will kill me, PLEASE do not try and save me by sacrificing yourself, okay?"
"Fine." Aurore said, nodding.
"Good." Lulu said, smiling.
"But in exchange, I want you to promise me something." Aurore said, frowning.
"Sure, what?" Lulu asked, frowning.
"If I ever die, I want you to promise me you won't give your existence to the gods in servitude in exchange for bringing me back to life."
"Deal!" Lulu said, smiling, the two shaking hands.
"Ah, it's nice to leave our prison within the hotel!" Gina said, stretching. "There are a few times you just need to kick back at a bar, you know?"
"You emptied my wallet…" Alder sighed. The two were walking back to the hotel after a night at the bar, and were exhausted.
"Aw, don't whine, damn it!" Gina laughed, hitting Alder on the back.
"Are you allies of Aurore?" Two moemon walked up to Gina and Alder, frowning.
"Who are you two?" Gina demanded, frowning.
"I am Bouffalant, the Bull of the Zodiac." The Bouffalant said, smiling.
"Um, I think you're a Buffalo…" Alder said, frowning.
"Shut up!" Bouffalant huffed. "I'm a Bull! Just deal with it!"
"I am Stoutland, the Dog of the Zodiac." The Stoutland said, frowning. She wore a blue dress and had long white hair that seemed to flow down her back like a mane, and had dark black eyes.
"All right, I'll take you down easy!" Gina said, laughing. "You have no idea what you're dealing with!" Gina created an entire wall of shadow behind her, and launched it at the two moemon. The wall of shadows hit them, and passed right through the two normal type moemon.
"Eh?" Gina asked, shocked.
"They're normal moemon." Alder explained. "Your ghost moves won't do a thing against them."
"Well, fuck." Gina said, frowning. "Okay, you can handle this then."
"Seriously? It's on me?" Alder asked, frowning.
"Well, you wanted to be the most powerful trainer, right?" Gina asked, smirking. "This is the chance you have to do that! So come on! Go ahead!"
"Fine…" Alder sighed. "Anyways, Lana, Rona, go!" Alder tossed out two moeballs, which his Bouffalant and his Larvesta emerged from.
"Oh, wow, another Bouffalant!" Bouffalant said, shocked. "Awesome! I'm excited now!"
The two Bouffalant charged at each other, knocking each other backwards.
"Take down!" Stoutland shouted, charging at Rona.
"Flame charge." Rona said, jumping into the air, coating her body with flames. She hit Stoutland in the face, knocking her back.
"Let's do this!" Lana and Rona shouted, excited.
"Yeah, have fun with that…" Gina said, waving at the two.
Lauren: Well, that was disappointing.
EoS: Your Christmas or this chapter?
Lauren: Both...
