A flaming warrior

Chapter 49 Take A Break

After a long, exhausting day, we all made it back to base, and I took a nap with you. I was too tired to put you in a crib that Chris just bought for you. It was 5pm when I woke up and saw you staring at me. You seemed happy. You weren't crying or scared; you were just happy. "Someone must be in a good mood cause of their nap," I said to you as you giggled. "You two okay in here?" Eva whispered. "You can come in, Eva, she's not hungry," I told her. She walked in, happy to see you, but you were a little scared of her at first. However, you slowly grew to like her. Eva took you from me just so she could spend time with you. It annoyed me a little, but I was still too tired to do anything about it.

After a small nap, I got up to find Eva and see what she was doing with you. I looked everywhere until I realized you were all in Jacqueline's crafting room. "Hey, Mom!" Samantha said, 'Well, your future self.' "Jacqueline made a cute little helmet for her," Eva said, giggling. I saw the helmet and found it fit you well. "So now that the baby is born, what do we do?" Tyler asked. "Keep fighting," I said. "You just gave birth," Tyler said, concerned, but Chris placed his hand on his shoulder. "It's fine. Everyone will be safe." He said. "Alright. We've got 4 days left and then 9 before Evil Rachel, right? Leona asked. "Correct. We still have a lot of time to prepare, but I am afraid of how powerful she has become. Chris is also a concern, but something tells me he is just a distraction." Chloe said. "We will be ready for both of them," Jacqueline said.

"But for now, I made armor from that darkness. First Eva. I call it Raivis Sakura (Void-Blossom Storm Armor). A blend of divine elegance and lethal grace — the storm's beauty forged into armor. Fitted bodice, glowing violet lightning lines, petal-like armor plates, short void-silk skirt, thigh-high greaves. A mix of cherry blossom beauty and storm power, alluring but practical for melee combat, and a Lightning halo crown, petal pauldrons. This should also allow you to teleport around, leaving behind electric lighting, and spinning will send out petals. And a new scythe that Nel should be able to jump into," Jacqueline explained. "This is going to take forever, isn't it?" Leona jokingly asked. "Yeah, but I'll try to make it short," Jacqueline said, annoyed."Rachel, turn. Sakuraryu's Flameveil Armor. Iridescent white-pink armor with gold trim, glowing lightning cracks, and a short petal-like skirt. Style is a Graceful samurai goddess vibe, fiery, stormy, and alluring. And the features include a Sakura-branch crown, a storm-fire cloak that transforms into lightning wings, and glowing runes on the thighs. Also, your new weapon, Raikasen, is covered in pink flames and lightning. How's that?" Jacqueline asked Leona. "Still a little long, but it's okay," Leona said back. "Next is Chris. Step up," Jacqueline said"Blazing Storm Aegis Armor. A White, crimson, and gold dragon-samurai armor with glowing lightning cracks and sakura motifs.

The style is Powerful and elegant, like a thunder-forged samurai knight, and a Horned helm with blooming sakura, fiery storm cloak, and petal-shaped armor plates. And your new sword. Rairenka. And a large glowing blade of fire and lightning energy, leaving trails of petals. "Tyler, step up. Raidenbloom Aegis. A... I'm out of breath, hang on," Jacqueline says, starting to drink water. Okay. A White-silver armor with pink lightning veins, petal-shaped plates, and an energy cloak of stormlight and sakura petals. The style is graceful but fierce, with a thunder god aesthetic. And your new spear, Raikazura. It symbolizes the fusion of storm and grace: lightning's fury wrapped in the elegance of falling sakura petals." Jacqueline explained.

"Maybe it's break time. Just me, Samantha, you, and Miriam left anyway." Leona suggested. "Maybe I should. I still need to add the finishing touches and figure out how to make this shorter. Come back tonight and I'll have them ready for you all." Jacqueline said to drink more water. "Well, I'm going to see if I can save this egg, so I'll catch you all tonight," Leona said, picking up the egg and leaving. "I'm right behind you," Samantha said as Miriam jumped on her to join in. "You bored?" I asked you as you looked bored from all the talking. "It will make sense when you're older. Maybe one day you'll be doing all of this." Jacqueline said to you, but you made a confused face. "Okay, never mind," Jacqueline giggled. "Well, what's the plan now?" I asked everyone. "You all still need to take out those camps and take out the ones running them, or you'll have to deal with those weapons. I know where the rest of the forest ones are." Pele said, but her voice was different. "Thank you for the help, Athena," Tyler said, standing in front of her. "You knew, didn't you, mini Thor?"

Athena said. "Mini?" Tyler was confused. "The Greek goddess Athena? Wait, why were you lying the whole time?" Eva asked her. "Just cause. I wanted to see how you all would handle me talking to you the whole time." Athena said. "Aren't you supposed to be dead, or are you evil?" Samantha asked. "I'm not evil. But I can not say the same for the others." Athena said, concerned. "Fuck you mean? YOU NOW TELL US THIS?!" Leona yelled out. "Because creature catcher, I don't have 100% evidence that they are behind all this evil," Athena said, getting a little angry with Leona. "Let's calm down. So we go world one Rachel with a huge dog, world two Chris with a whole country and now one of the others have gods?" Chris asked. "I don't think it's someone else. Is there a way to get to a location and back quickly?" Athena asked. "We can. Let's see what you want to show," Jacqueline said as we all teleported to the location."This is...oh dear," Athena said as we saw a dark portal that had sealed near a beach in Fayetteville, NC. "This is to?" Tyler asked. "Poseidon," Athena said. You will not be able to open his room until something is done with World One." Athena tells us. "What about you? Do you have a portal?" I asked. "No. But we all need to be freed. Even if I'm not under their control, I'm not supposed to be here," Athena tells us. "You bringing here causes issues?" I asked. "To put it lightly, you need to get rid of all of us so we can go back to being at peace, and that way, everyone isn't a slave anymore. Also, do you really want them to have our weapons?" Athena asked us. "Chloe?" Tyler turned to look at her. "I didn't write this in any of my stories about you all," Chloe said. "Another bad anomaly, pretty much. Okay, then we will fight you then." Jacqueline said. "Not yet. You have to get rid of those camps first. Then I'll allow you to challenge me." Athena. "Of course, you want us to do that. We will do it tomorrow then." Chloe said. "Also, the Greeks being here will destroy everything, won't they?" Chloe asked. "...maybe. I just know you all probably don't want Zeus to be unleashed. If they got the other gods, then they may have him too," Athena tells us. "I need a fucking drink," Tyler said, getting a headache. "Please not in front of my child." I told him.

We all returned to base and prepared to cook, so we could eat and prepare for the next day. It was very late, and I got up to check on you, but I heard a punching sound coming from downstairs. Chris heard it too and was going to check it out, but I told him to stay with you just in case. I walked downstairs and saw Tyler drinking water, looking very exhausted. He pointed to the training room and said she won't go to sleep. I walked down and saw Eva training, punching a dummy. "Eva, you really need to sleep." Cubie tried to tell her, but she didn't listen. "Your energy levels are extremely low. Please go to sleep." The world is A.I version of Eva said."I... can't. For you to be me, you just don't get it. I... can't," Eva said, stopping her punch before falling down. "Eva," I called out to her, rushing to her. "I think she's sick," Cubie said, scanning her. "Is it anything serious?" I asked. "No, it seems to be a common cold. She must have gotten it when she got attacked earlier today." Cubie said. "Eva, please. Let's get some rest." I told her. Eva was breathless and weak.

"Cubie, are you sure this is a common cold?" I asked him. "Yes, she's extremely sick, but I'm not detecting any virus or throat soreness," Cubie said, scanning her again. Let's make her some hot tea," Cubie suggested. I carried her to her room while Tyler and Cubie made hot tea for her. "Are you going to say anything, Aethna?" I said as I noticed she's looking at us. "No, I just find you...Interesting," Athena said before disappearing. "Eva, please just rest, okay?" I asked her. She looked at me, annoyed, before nodding okay. "Thank you," I said before leaving and going back into my room to see Chris playing with you, who was going back to sleep. Chris was pleased to the point that he wanted to cry. "Come on back to bed, big softy," I said jokingly. "Yeah, yeah, yeah," Chris said, getting back to bed.
