Hello you wonderful people, it's me the Absolute Madman and I'm back to deliver you your weekly dose of Stranded!
But first let's answer the weekly dose of comments!:
solbandgus - Never played Fire Emblem. I have quite the library of games but always end up returning to a select few to play the shit ouf the them lol. Though I gotta say you have very good eyes, because even I didn't see the 40k reference! I know it's about the 'gothic' comment, but I was literally thinking about Gothic.
evilstatistic19 - Your wait is over!
BoredKing - Damn, three comments, hell yeah inflate those numbers! Now... First sad fact is that I don't control the crack, the crack controls me, but I might try to reign it in somewhat if it really starts taking a toll on the fic. Momo is basically too smart and all the bullshit going on around her drives her insane, also another thing, but that'd be a spoiler. I know I know, next time I'ma write '3' to be safe! Dating multiple girls is not illegal, but can you marry multiple people at once? I have no idea about how the world functions so I'm honestly curious if the beaurocracy allows that. The log got swept up by the tornado that came the night after. Random Omnipotent Being, right?
And with that, the chapter!:
You may have heard it a couple of times already, but it started off quite timidly. Izuku woke up one morning and found out that he had trouble breathing through his nose. It didn't take a genius, although Momo was the one to point it out, to figure out that he had a runny nose, nothing a medicinal berry or two couldn't fix. If they had any that is.
Someone apparently mistook the medicinal berries for the normal edible ones and whilst it wasn't that dangerous as you probably shouldn't be able to overdose on berries of all things, it was certainly a pain in the ass, or in this case, in the nose.
However hardships both mental and physical were something that Izuku was very well acquainted with thanks to his tragic anime MC backstory and whatnot. Still, as it is widely known to the world, even the least threatening illness has a devastating effect on the male populace. Izuku was in peak physical condition and for the first few days was holding up relatively well, but it all went tits up when the runny nose was joined by a headache, sore throat and finally - fever. No medical knowledge whatsoever was required to state that he'd caught a cold.
Thankfully it seemed to be a fairly mild one as he was still full of energy and there was no soreness in his body, but the headache coupled with a runny nose made everything annoying. His temperature wasn't that high, so Momo deduced that it should probably pass on its own as long as Izuku gets ample amounts of rest, gives his body time to battle the cold and most importantly - stays in the warmth of the cave.
Izuku - being the best himself he can - was ready to argue about the last point, but the intense stares from his three girlfriends shut him up before he even opened his mouth. If the circumstances were a bit less chaotic then the girls would probably find the fact that they could reign in one of the strongest people in Japan with nothing but their gazes amusing and flattering, but right now they were glad he was rational enough to listen to their advice.
Staying inside actually wasn't that bad since their group spent nearly every day locked up inside their home as the weather outside wasn't all that inviting.
The only problem was that Izuku didn't show any signs of getting better in the next two days, so when the night of the drop came they had to make a tough call.
Potentially leaving one of their friends to die of frostbite, starvation or during a too close for comfort encounter with whatever might thrive in this All Might awful weather was not an option right from the start since the girls were pretty sure that if that was the case then Izuku would simply sneak out by himself and put himself in danger.
That meant that they'd have to send someone out there, maybe even a couple of someones to compensate for the fact that their sole male member was built not like a brick house, but the entire brick factory while the rest of them were… were not. Another thing they lacked except the carrying capacity necessary was the flawless ability to navigate the jungle with nothing but their intuition and a few landmarks. The everpresent snow that basically turned everything into a desolate wasteland straight out of Siberia didn't make following directions all that easier.
The latter issue however was quickly resolved when Momo went on another one of her insanity driven mental rants that blasted her with an entire onslaught of ideas of which one stuck to her in glue.
"Izu, I need your help." She suddenly addressed the man as they sat around their campfire and held a brainstorming session.
"Sure, what do you want me to do?" He immediately asked, eager to help one of his girlfriends out and earn brownie points.
"I want you to grab the ice pick and try to break off a small piece of those glowing crystals. Preferably the green one if you can find one that's growing low enough for you to reach." Momo ordered and Izuku did a quick salute before heading off to fulfill his current task.
At the same time, the girls headed over towards their pile of assorted-stuff-that-might-come-in-handy and started searching for a particular item - a compass.
The task seemed very tedious as they basically were looking for a needle in a haystack that could very well possess an infinite volume caged inside of a finite space and change its contents like the labyrinth from Maze Runner. Yet, against all odds, the girls managed to find one of the broken compasses that Izuku had scavenged in the past and had to wait for Izuku to return.
He came back almost drenched in sweat and with a slightly annoyed expression, but with a pinky-sized chunk of green crystal glowing faintly in his fist.
"I hate being sick." Izuku stated and sniffed heavily before tossing the crystal to Momo. That's when he noticed the compass she was holding. "What do you want to do with it? It's clearly broken and we don't even know if this place has a magnetic field and not another magical rule that protects us from the suns."
"That's why I'm not trying to fix it." Momo explained and then started tinkering with the back cover of the compass.
It took her a few moments to figure it out, but she was eventually able to get it off and discovered that it had a hole inside, not unlike a tv remote. Driven by her vivid yet insane idea, she took the green crystal and stuck it inside before closing the lid.
The four teenagers held their breath as they stared at the device and just as they thought that nothing was gonna happen they noticed a faint green glow starting to permeate throughout the compass as the needle turned into a shade of green identical to the crystal and started spinning violently before suddenly stopping at twelve o'clock.
"So… does it work?" Mina was first to break the dumbstruck silence.
"I think it does, though I'm not sure if it works like we think it does…" Momo answered with slight apprehension, but then felt a surge of confidence and perked up. "But if I'm right about this then it's even better than a real compass. Izuku, could you start circling around us?"
The request was a bit strange and made little to no sense to anyone besides Momo but Izuku learned to stop questioning his genius girlfriend a long time ago so he did as she asked.
It took only a couple of steps for the girls to understand what Momo meant. As soon as Izuku moved, the needle of the compass moved to follow him as if he was a giant magnet.
"That's so cool!" Mina and Tooru exclaimed in excitement.
"What is?" Izuku, who was out of the loop for the moment, asked in curiosity.
"This compass has been configured to always point in your direction as if you were the north point. I suppose it's because we've used the green crystal to let's say wake it up and if I'm not mistaken we should be able to make a personal tracker for each one of us by using different colored crystals. This is also proof that they are somehow connected to us, but I'm not unsure how or what's the point of it." Momo explained whilst studying the compass intently.
"Woah, that's freakishly convenient. I could kiss you right now." Izuku said in a slight daze and Momo giggled.
"You'd have to get rid of that cold first." She teased and Izuku groaned in annoyance.
"I really, really hate being sick…" He whined like a kid and the girls laughed in unison with Izuku eventually joining in with the occasional sneeze in between.
Momo miraculously making the compasses usable again meant that they could always find their way home as long as at least one of them stayed back. Now the idea of sending out an Izuku-free supply expedition tonight didn't sound as suicidal as before.
Momo - being the only one besides Izuku with a weapon - was already in before they even started discussing who to send out and it's not like she had that many partners to choose from so this part of preparations went fairly smoothly.
"I'm not clumsy!" Mina protested with a purpley blush on her cheeks as soon as Momo stated her reason for choosing Tooru over her.
"Remember when you first tried skating on your acid?" The raven-haired girl retorted with a deadpan expression.
"T-That was different! Now I'm an expert at acid skating!" The pink-skinned girl declared proudly, but her moment of victory was cut short by Momo.
"And I learned figure skating when I was in preschool."
Mina immediately turned white as if someone was messing with the paint bucket tool in paint and some vapor escaped her lips as her body turned to jelly.
"I'm pretty sure you've killed her just now…" Izuku deduced after a second of poking his girlfriend in the ribs.
"Was that her soul just now?" Tooru wondered out loud as Momo began vigorously apologizing for, once again, unknowingly flaunting her status.
With their powers combined they managed to coerce Mina's soul to return to her body, though she continued acting pretty timidly for the rest of the evening. She was also pretty tame when she and Izuku were helping Tooru and Momo dress up for the weather.
Due to the differences in size, height and build it was obvious that Tooru would literally drown if she were to wear Izuku's winter gear so she ended up borrowing Momo's which whilst still oversized didn't hinder her movements that much. Momo had to cope with the fact that her current outfit was a bit tight around her upper body as it clearly wasn't manufactured with the ability to contain Monstrously Massive Mommy Milkies in mind.
Once they were dressed Izuku shared some last-minute tips with them before the two eventually departed into the blizzard. And yes, the cold wind was still there, doing what it does best across the snow. Did I milk that reference enough already? Probably… but it's not like it's gonna stop me or something!
Fourth wall breaks aside, Momo and Tooru venturing outside meant that Izuku and Mina were all alone, which was… strange. Izuku was alone with Tooru when she first woke up, with Momo a couple of days ago when they went out to do some exploring along the river, but the last time he was all alone with Mina was probably… a month ago at this point? It must've been around the time when she and Momo decided to date him simultaneously or something like that.
The strangeness of the situation was accentuated further by Mina's unusual timidness.
Almost as soon as Momo and Tooru left, Mina stated that she was feeling a bit tired and went to bed early, which left Izuku all alone. He decided to use that excellent opportunity to satisfy his inner yakuza and take a really long dip into their hot spring. Who knows, maybe the water actually had some sort of magical regenerative properties that would nurse him back to health in record time? It honestly wouldn't be that surprising to him or the girls at this point.
Having spent so much time in the spring before, melting into the warmth of the water was already like second nature to Izuku, especially now that he had the spring all to himself and the only other person present in their home was asleep. The peace and quiet didn't last forever though as they were interrupted by the apparently-not-so-asleep Mina who tiptoed out of their bedcave and approached Izuku with cautious steps, probably so as to not wake him if he ended up zoning off in the water.
Izuku was wide awake however and he noticed her right away, noticing her alluring choice of clothing which consisted of his shirt and… and probably panties, but the shirt was just long enough to hide that information from him, so it was a fifty-fifty. Although this was Mina he was thinking about, so the odds were probably closer to 3:1 in favor of her going commando. Did he mention already that he really hated being sick? Because if yes then his hate for sickness may have just reached another level of passion.
"I thought you went to bed." Izuku spoke up to let her know that he was awake if she didn't notice it already.
"I did, but it's too big for me to sleep on my own, so I came to tease you." Mina explained with a grin, though Izuku noticed her cheeks didn't match the rest of her skin in terms of color.
"So that's how it is…" Izuku mused to himself before shrugging and relaxing into the water once again. "Since you're here you might as well hop in and enjoy the bath with me." He suggested as he closed his eyes.
"Did you forget what happened the last time I 'enjoyed the bath' with you?" Mina teased, but went to tug the shirt off of herself anyway.
"As if I could so easily forget something like that." Izuku teased back with a smirk as he opened his eyes just in time to catch Mina entering the spring.
He slid to the side as he suspected that Mina would probably want to sit next to him, but she ended up surprising him when she sat right into his lap. He wasn't expecting that, but his arms still snaked around her body to pull her into his embrace.
They behaved only for a heartbeat before darting to close the distance between their lips. Mina wasted no time and started feeling up all the wonderful musculature she could get her hands on as Izuku did likewise and revisited each and every little curve of hers that was already ingrained into his muscle memory. Looking back at it he really should've seen something like this coming since he had neglected Mina quite a bit these last few weeks. Well, he'd just have to make it up to her now that he had a chance.
The cold was a major annoyance to him, but it didn't weaken any of the strength that he worked so hard to build up and as such was able to easily hoist Mina up to make her straddle his lap. He abandoned her lips to latch onto her nipple as his hands started kneading her supple butt. It almost made her fall backwards but she was able to put her arms around his neck for support, which ended up squishing his face into her breasts as a bonus. His skillful ministrations coupled with the fact that they were all alone and multiplied by how much time have passed since they last had some time to themselves turned her into a moaning, writhing mess in no time at all and her voice filled not only the alcove of their hot spring, but the whole commoncave. Hell, you could probably hear her even in the bedcave!
Mina felt as if she was about to float away from all the pleasure and had to forcefully remove Izuku's mouth from her nipple so that she could kiss him and ground herself in reality with all the strength she could muster.
Izuku didn't object, but in turn grabbed one of her hands and guided it down to his already erect shaft which she grabbed and started stroking immediately as Izuku continued towards her slit which was absolutely soaked. And the water was not the main culprit of that!
Mina was fully focused on making out with Izuku so she didn't even notice when she started rocking her hips back and forth to the rhythm of Izuku teasing her folds and the occasional flick of her clit that made her body jolt and flinch in glee. Izuku on the other hand didn't notice when Mina's body locked up and he ended up fingering his first girlfriend through her first orgasm of the night. He realized what had transpired once she went slack against him and he snaked his arms around her waist to pull her flush against him.
She ended up panting directly into his ear which did nothing to quell his rising thirst and basically guaranteed that the fun only just started, unless Mina wanted to try falling asleep with a .44 Magnum pressing into her ass the entire time.
Alas that's a tale untold, for Momo and Tooru ventured out on a - less steamy - adventure of their own.
Momo, having some actual experience with climbing, was the one to make the ascent to Izuku's lookout and had to admit right off the bat that the view was really nice, even if everything around them was basically just snow.
Just as Izuku described, the snowstorm let up a few moments before the sky was lit up by an orange-ish hue and the supply meteors flew overhead.
There were two of them once again and just as before one fell much further away than the other. Momo paid no mind to it however as she simply gazed at her compass to find the vague direction they needed to head to reach the crash site. She then pocketed the compass and climbed back down to join Tooru who was waiting patiently on the ground with Momo's TEK Carbine in one hand and Izuku's spear in the other.
They decided that bringing the spear was a better idea than leaving it home even if Tooru had absolutely no experience with it as it didn't take much skill to point the sharp end in the direction of whatever was trying to eat you this time. Still, both girls would prefer not having to fight anything even if they were confident in their abilities as they were already busy fighting the weather.
The girls were moving at a slower pace than Izuku usually would as they had to stop from time to time to check the compass and correct their course to not miss it and end up having to look for it blindly.
Momo proved to be an excellent navigator however and they managed to get to the crash site without any problems whatsoever. The supplies themselves were nothing worth writing home about as they were mostly some smaller bits and bobs that took a few moments to gather, but didn't weigh them down that much. They were relieved however that they didn't receive another person with the supplies as their food situation was already quite worrying.
The girls took one last look around the crash site to check if they maybe missed something, but the only thing they saw was snow and the burning rock so they decided to head back home.
The way back was easier to keep track of as some of their earlier tracks were still visible even with the blizzard picking up and bombarding them with snow. Their adventure ended up being fairly uneventful, something that both Momo and Tooru were thankful for as they were already pretty exhausted by the time they crossed the river into their domain.
They came back to an empty commoncave, but the clothes laying beside the hot spring betrayed that something did happen when they were gone. Neither of the girls commented on it as they simply looked at each other with similar knowing smiles before they stripped out of their winter-ish clothes and went to join Mina and Izuku in bed.
They found the two snuggled into each other under a blanket, a sight that only furthered Momo's and Tooru's amusement, and decided to not disturb them, opting to grab a second blanket and share it which led to Tooru using Momo's Momentous Mammaries as a pillow.
The next day Izuku suddenly recovered from his cold which was nowhere to be seen. All four of them were baffled by the unexpected development and Mina was teased for having a healing touch.
Chapter's done so it's time for announcements. Or pretty much just one. I'm starting my new job on Monday, it might be pretty amazing, but vastly different from my previous one, so I have no idea how that'll turn out. One thing you can be sure off is that the chapters will keep on comin' regardless!
I hope you enjoyed the chapter and if you have any complaints about how the story is unfolding at the moment do voice them if you feel like it might help the fic more enjoyable for you, the people! For now my sociopathic ass is wishing all of you a great day and I'll catch you all next week!
