Summer Loving 12

You were awoken from your pleasant nap when you felt even unconsciously, a mass amount of youki signatures surrounding you.

With a groan, you pushed yourself up out of the soft lap of your pink haired lover and looked out the bus window. The bus itself beginning to slow to a stop.

All around for as far as your beyond human eyesight could see, there was a vast landscape of bright yellow sunflowers.

Hundreds, maybe even thousands of youki signatures nearing the strength of the average monster at Youkai Academy spread far and wide throughout the field.

"Oh, look who's awake," Kurumu poked you o the forehead with a wide smile, "You looked so comfy there on Moka's lap I was afraid we'd have to brain you to wake you up, right Moka?"

The pink haired girl beside you didn't answer though, she was looking out one of the windows as well, a small frown on her face.

'Can she sense them as well?' you wondered. That was odd, while Moka had the passive strengthening of Youki Augmentation as a vampire, albeit at a much lower level than her silver haired counterpart, she couldn't really use any of her natural powers because she didn't care for the much at all.

"Moka?" Kurumu blinked and asked, confused as to why she wasn't answering her.

"We're here kids!" the bus driver, a tall willowy fellow with long black hair called back, "You're on your own from here."

A few moments later, you and your two girlfriends were up and outside the bus, while the driver hightailed it out of dodge. Probably a good idea, from what you sensed, his youki wasn't all that impressive.

"So...how do we find these witches then?" Kurumu asked once you were out.

"We don't need to," you shrugged, "We're surrounded by too many youki signatures for me to count."

"Mmm." Moka nodded.

Kurumu blinked, "Eh!?" she uttered in confusion before looking around, her lovely purple eyes sweeping over the range of the fields, "..I don't see anything though?"

"Here, I'll show you." You said, before walking over to one of the massive sunflowers and grasping it around the stem and pulling up. The soil parted, and a roar of beastial anger resonated throughout the fields as a huge plant monster burst from the ground, the sunflower attached to its head. It had the body of a massive green stem with slinky green vine arms with vine claws and a wide open flower petal face and mouth with jagged green teeth. It looked like a bipedal venus flytrap.

"Foooooood!" a deep gravelly voice echoed from its wide open maw as it lunged towards you, mouth wide open in an attempt to take a bite out of you. Your other hand came up though and grabbed its lips as it got close and clamped them shut.

"Ew, what is that?!" Kurumu's face drew up in disgust.

"It's a Garigarious," you answered, they were a common monster listed in the beastiary Mikogami gave you, "They're low level plant youkai that naturally form and take life in areas rich with plant life and abundant ambient youki."

"..There's different ones too," Moka added, "I can sense a lot with the same youki strength as these, and ones with stronger youki as well."

Yeah, she was spot on.

"....This is a flower field outside a human city though," Kurumu pointed out, "There shouldn't be a lot of ambient youki, if any here, it's not like there's a monster population out here...well besides these things."

"Exactly," you nodded, "It's clearly not natural and the work of these witches. They are planning on attacking the city not far from here apparently after all, is it any wonder they've began growing an army for themselves."

"That is messed up." Kurumu shook her head, while Moka nodded in agreement.

The Garigarious struggled with all its might to open its jaw, but failed under your grip. It seemingly gave up, and lashed out at you with its vine arms, the green arms stretching and attempting to pierce you with its claws.

You let go of its mouth, and you opened your mouth, spewing out a white hot flame that washed over it in an instant. It squealed as it burned under your flame, before falling to the ground limp a moment later, its outline barely noticeable through the flame smouldering over its form.

"So Kai, how shall we approach this?" Inner Moka spoke up.

You eyed the burning plant monster at your feet for a moment before responding, "I dunno about you, but I can't sense them because of the sheer amount of youki signatures spread out about the field," you replied, "So I think the best way to go about this is just destroying their army and drawing them out."

"A simple, yet effective plan," Inner Moka mused, "Alright, Outer let me out."

"Okay." Outer Moka nodded in agreement. She reached into the handbag she had hanging over her shoulder and a moment later, as she pulled Belmont out, her body filled out the lovely sundress she was wearing further and her hair transitioned into silver and her eyes a crimson slitted red.

Kurumu took one look at the pair of you, before her wings burst out of her back and she took to the sky, "I'll just keep an eye out for things from up here," the blue haired succubus said, "I don't really have any abilities that are good for clearing out huge numbers of enemies like you two."

"Well, I'll try not to hit you," Inner Moka smirked up at her, "I make no promises though, you know how hard it is to control such large attacks after all."

"Blegh!" Kurumu pulled her eyelid down and stuck her tongue out at the silver haired vampiress.

You smothered a smile as you turned facing away from them and moulded your youki within your chest. A moment later you opened your mouth and spat out a massive gout of flame twice the size of a grown man and just as wide. It tore through the field of sunflowers in front of you, burning them away for hundreds of feet.

Squeals and roars split the air as the ground rumbled and dozens upon dozens of monster, their bodies clad in flame burst from the dirt. While many of them were Garigarious, there was another type of monster mixed in. They were bipedal and man shaped, but almost looked a bit feline, with long spindly tails swishing behind them.

'Hanabake huh?' You noted. They were just like the Garigarious, but of a higher tier, and were known for their bodies being harder than steel.

They were actually stronger than the average monster when full grown from all you gathered. Their main weakness though? Fire.

You smirked as you watched them running around crazily, bodies alight with flame as they and their Garigorious brethren died in droves.

All around you the ground began breaking apart as others felt the attack on their kind and attempted to rush you. You simply repeated your action, spitting out another massive gout of flame, this time twisting your head and dragging your flaming breath from side to side, lighting everything up.

More and more squeals of agony joined the cacophony of sound, while in front of you for as far as your eye could see massive walls of flame began building up and up as the plant monsters were consumed by your flames.

An explosion rocked the earth beneath your feet and you looked over your shoulder to see your silver haired girlfriend lashing out with a series of blinding fast kicks, each one unleashing massive explosions that tore great big chunks of the earth out and set every plant caught up in the explosive blasts in flame.

A pair of Hanabake erupted from the ground at her feet, but your girlfriend simply spun around them and flicked her wrist, Belmont swinging out and slicing right through their steel hard bodies like a hot knife through butter.
