Season 4 Chapter 29


Mrs. Zoe Baldwin stepped out of the building to evacuate more of the halflings.

Skamianiela raced up. The basilisk had halfling children clinging to her body. She carried a dozen of them as she ran into the building, a column of more refugees behind her. Mrs. Baldwin nodded and ran down the street.

She didn't know how the rest of the battle was going, but the evacuation was in full swing. She looked down the street and spotted more of the basilisks bringing in large groups of halflings to get them out of the city.

So many were hurt. Had been abused. Fury burned in Mrs. Baldwin for the fiends who did this. If she could get her roots around Sulanga Stormfury and choke the life from him, she would do it. Gladly. He deserved to pay for all the hardship he had inflicted on these people.

"Get them inside," she shouted as she ran down the street. The dryad's big boobs bounced before her. She nodded to Mastab with her group. Then she passed Dychannie leading another. The basilisks were so gentle despite their fierce appearances.

She ran down another street, having to go farther and farther to find those to help. She would save them all.

Lana Fulmine whirled around and gasped in horror to see the last two living hippogriffs crashing into Gyvate. The enemy monster girls ripped at the quetzalcoatl while they tumbled for the city below. Rainbow wings and teal flapped. Blood spilled in the air.

"No, no, no!" the movie starlet cried. She had to protect her number one fan's monster girl, but she was getting ripped apart.

Gyvate managed to get clear of one attacker. This hippogriff pulled out of the dive and vanished for a moment behind a building. Gyvate shifted her focus to the remaining attacker and turned. She fired her lightning ball breath right into the face of the second hippogriff bitch that still tore at her stomach.

Sparks exploded in the air. The hippogriff flung from her, spinning towards the road. Gyvate tried to flare her rainbow wings and pull out of the dive, but her left one didn't extend properly. Blood ran down the quetzalcoatl's back and shoulder, her flight muscles torn.

"Please, no!" shouted Lana Fulmine.

The hippogriff and Gyvate both crashed hard into the cobblestone streets and vanished. Killed. Lana Fulmine closed her eyes, the pain rippling through her. Gyvate had done her best, she had even beaten one on her own. So it wasn't fair that she'd still died. She should be alive right now.

The other hippogriff! screamed through Lana Fulmine's mind.

She opened her eyes and scanned the skies. The hippogriff had vanished behind a building. Where was she? Her eyes scanned the skies, searching for her. The flap of wings came from beneath Lana. The movie star stared down.

Teal feathers shot up at her, razor-sharp missiles that would rip her apart.

"Fuck!" she gasped and flapped her lightning wings hard. She lurched back. The feathers shot up before her, narrowly missing her.

"Lady Tiamat's windy cunt!" snarled the hippogriff climbing for her, mur*er in the monster girl's eyes.

A ball of Paanee's green acid struck the hippogriff in the breasts. The powerful liquid sizzled on the hippogriff's flesh. She screamed in agony. Drops of the acid splashed on her face. Her wings. She smoked and tumbled, dissolving away.

Lana Fulmine sighed in relief. The last hippogriff was dead. They had cleared the skies. They were winning.

It just didn't feel like it.

Maya motioned to the halflings. "This way! Let's go! We have to get to safety! Hurry! Hurry!"

The crackle of lightning filled the air. A bolt slammed down into the group of halflings that she guided. They screamed, flung from the explosion, their bodies smoking. Three landed charred and unmoving on the ground as a thunderbird swooped over the street.

"You fucking cunt!" Maya gasped as the enemy monster girl vanished out of sight over the building.

"Sulanga Stormfury will kill us all," one woman moaned as she crawled out from beneath a smoking body.

"Randee!" another woman gasped, grabbing at a male who's face had been burned to a crisp.

"We have to move!" Maya shouted. "Hurry!"

"Maya!" shouted Rih.

Maya whipped her head up the street to see the unicorn pointing at the sky. Another thunderbird swooped down at her group. The undine's water body rippled with fear. How could she protect the halflings?

"RUN!" she cried, pointing at the building. "Get in there! Hurry!"

The thunderbird crackled, her body made of lightning. Her wings sizzled in the air. A murderous rage swept over Maya. She could feel that this monster girl wanted to kill the halflings then let Maya and Leo's harem save them.

What can I do? thought Maya. She didn't know.

Rih jumped.

As the thunderbird soared over the street, the unicorn's bent legs extended. She soared into the air, her golden horn thrusting up at the enemy monster girl. A living spear hurtled at the bitch. Rih looked so graceful. So majestic.

A surge of lightning crackled as Rih slammed into the thunderbird's body. Sparks flared. The thunderbird screamed in pain while Rih was flung back to the ground, her body smoking from the defensive discharge from the enemy.

She hit the ground and vanished.

The thunderbird crashed into the side of the building a moment later. She spun off it and hit the ground before Maya and burst into sparks. She disappeared. Killed. But there were other thunderbirds in the skies.

Two more swooped down at them. Maya didn't see Nina or the ghosts in the air.

Kin, another unicorn leading her halflings, jumped to impale one of them. The thunderbird was ready. Her lightning blast struck Kin before she could even close the distance. The burst hit her head on. When the sparks cleared, she was gone.

Maya quivered in fear. She didn't know what to do but get her halflings to safety. She ran down the street, her panicked charges scurrying after her.

Think! Think! Think! Maya hissed at herself. You need help. Where are you going to get it?

Then the answer blossomed in her head.

"Hagane, it's Maya!" screamed in the metal monster girl's mind. The animated statue stood ready to go. Halflings darted down the stairs into the dungeon, screaming. In a panic. "Thunderbirds are attacking us and the refugees. Two of my unicorns are dead. There's no sign of Nina and her ghosts!"

"I'm coming!"
Hagane cried.

She rushed to the stairs, shouting, "Move! Move!"

The stunned halflings gasped and melted out of her way. Her slender form raced up the stairs. Her glasses shifted on her nose. She reached the top and stepped out onto the street. Maya ran down it, a group of halflings with her. Another was racing from a different direction.

Lightning crashed down and struck that group, killing the very people that Hagane was here to protect and save. She had never felt such anger before. This fury swelled in the animated statue's breast. If she had a heart, it would be pounding with fury.

The enemy swooped back into the sky, leaving the dead in her wake.

I need to get up there.

Her hands reshaped into thick, strong claws. She drove her chrome digits into the masonry of the building and climbed. Her toes merged into spikes that she kicked into the side of the wall like she was wearing ice-climbing gear. She scrambled up the side of the building, shattered masonry falling around her.

In a minute, she had gained the top of the four-story building. She surveyed the sight and spotted her quarry. A thunderbird swooping down for her next attack. Hagane's arms flowed into blades, hands extending into sharp points. She waited and waited, gauging the distance. The speed she could run. The velocity of the enemy.

Hagane burst into a run.

Garnet, on the same network as both her mother and Maya, heard the call for help.

She banked over to the west to help, summoning a whip of shadows. She would not let the enemy win. she would help her big brother save all these halflings. She soared over the streets towards the fight, staring at the thunderbirds.

The wicked monster girls would pay.

"GO!"

I shouted my command as I stood before the door. I aimed my spear at it and chanted the words to Concussive Burst. "Thunderclap deafens, let the roar of Lord Ishkur disorient!"

The sonic burst struck the door. It exploded inward, ripped into a thousand pieces of shrapnel that sprayed through the inside. I charged inside, my robes billowing, my body enhanced and defended by multiple spells.

My monster girls were dying across the city. I would end this. I would secure it and get these halflings to safety.

Behind me, Ms. Trueno followed, her scaled feet slapping on the ground. From above, Gaiste and the other arachnes jumped through the window and landed on the rafters above. They fired webbing down at a large wolf made entirely of lightning.

The raiju.

She dodged the attacks with lupine grace, snarling. Electric hackles rose about her neck. Static charge crackled off her. She howled her fury. A bolt of lightning shot into the air at the arachnes scurrying above.

It struck a wooden beam then hit Greasai. My arachne screamed in pain as she was thrown back. I felt her die before she hit the ground. I skidded to a stop and glared at the raiju. I leveled my spear at her, fury howling in my heart.

No more of my monster girls would die.

"Water's crushing weight surround, feel the grasp of Lord Enki squeeze!"

A ball of water engulfed the lightning wolf. It squeezed down on her, crushing her. Drown her. I watched on in vicious satisfaction.

When Leo's command screamed through Halia's mind, she leveled her Blessed Blade at the door. The sword hummed in her hands as her salamanders drew in their breath. Their burning wings flared wide. Then five streams of fire slammed into the door.

Their burning breath destroyed the door. Flaming pieces flew inside the building. Halia broke into a charge, clad in her golden armor. She held her sword in her hand. Beside her, Usiku ran with her midnight sword in hand.

"Lady Sherida, bless us with your light and protection," prayed the paladin as she charged past the burning frame of the door.

On the far side of the room, lightning crackled, but Halia's attention was on the treant that whirled around to face them. She had wood-brown skin like Mrs. Baldwin, but instead of hair, she had leafy branches extending from her head making a strange crown. Her large breasts bounced as she stared at them with anger in her eyes.

Roots surged from her feet like Mrs. Baldwin grew. Halia skidded to a halt and raised her sword before her, ready to cut the binding roots before they could seize her. She aimed at the floor as they surged at her.

Only these roots were thicker and instead of going for Halia's legs, they rose into the air and swung at her. Clubs whipped at her. She gasped and cut one, but a half-dozen more struck her armor. Her breastplate rang as the force threw her back into the wall. She hit with a hard impact. The air burst from her lungs.

She groaned and slumped to the ground, her armor dented. She wheezed, struggling to catch her breath. The whipping roots slammed at Usiku. Her shadowy blade slashed, cutting through three of them before they struck her body.

She shouted in pain as her arm snapped from the crushing blow. Then the treant's root-club struck Usiku in the neck. The fomorian's head twisted at a sickening angle. Her body went limp. She fell to the ground and vanished.

The roots surged towards Halia.​
