Chapter 179: Rally Up

HQ was driving Lexie down the path they came from. They left behind a large fire and destroyed tents. Nojiko and Vivi were in the front two seats of Lexie.

"I am a bit sad we did not find the treasure," Nojiko said.

"I am as well," Vivi added.

Vivi thought. "Those guys look organised," Vivi said.

Nojiko put her finger on her face and thought. "I do wonder who they were," Nojiko said and added," Either way, I got his cool gun."

"Are you going to use it?" Vivi asked.

"No, but it will be useful for us in the future," Nojiko said.

"It was good you picked it up. That gun has some power and kick to it," HQ said.

"It almost went through thick pillars of stone," Vivi noted.

"I can see Marianne, Honey, Robin and Zala running towards us," HQ reported.

"Oh, looks like they are done with their threat," Vivi said.

Lexie approached the four girls and stopped. The doors opened. "Hi All," Nojiko greeted.

Robin and Zala smiled back. Marianne and Honey greeted back.

"Thanks for picking us up," Zala said.

"No problem," Vivi said.

"It's going to be a squeeze again," Robin said.

"Marianne, you can sit on my lap," Honey said.

"Okay," Marianne replied.

"You can sit on my lap Vivi," Nojiko said.

Vivi nodded and she moved over. Zala and Robin sat down. Marianne sat on Honey`s lap.

"We are all in now," Honey said.

"Did you get the treasure?" Robin asked.

"No, it was not there, we did find some strange men," Vivi replied.

"Strange men?" Zala asked.

"The Simon Pirates?" Marianne asked.

The girls giggled. "They are strange for sure but not them," Nojiko replied.

"I had the feeling of Baroque Work like organisation," Vivi said.

"That serious?" Zala asked.

Robin thought. "There is something bigger going on," she said.

"Yes, I think so," Nojiko added.

"There was an explosion east of the temple. I think Ben and the others may be there," Honey said.

"Okay, let's go there," Vivi said.

HQ turned the tank and drove towards in the direction of the explosion.

"Cramped in again," Zala said.

"It is cosy," Honey said. She put her hands on Marianne's stomach.

"Hey," Marianne said.

"She only wants Ben to hug her," Nojiko teased.

"I," Marianne muttered.

"Nojiko, we are in battle," Vivi said.

"Okay," Nojiko said.

"Lively," Robin said.

"It is nice," Zala said to Robin.

"There are some horrors out there in the world. It's nice to be around good people," Robin said.

They looked at Robin and smiled.

"We will protect," Vivi said.

"Yes, we will," Marianne said.

Robin crossed her arms and sprouted a hand on Marianne's head and petted her. Marianne smiled.

"I am jealous," Honey said.

They all laughed.

"We are approaching the fire," HQ said. She could see the burning wreck of an object.

Nojiko and Vivi looked at the screen.

"I can see Kaya and Alvida in front of that temple," Vivi said.

"Kaya is leaning on Alvida," Nojiko said. Kaya had her eyes closed.

"Are they okay?" Honey asked. She was a bit worried

Vivi looked again. Kaya had opened her eyes. "I don't see any injuries," Vivi said.

HQ approached them and stopped Lexie. She opened the doors and all the girls exited. As they walked towards Alvida and Kaya, they saw Mikita running out of the temple with the green orb.

"I got it," Kaya yelled, holding the green orb.

Marianne and Honey started clapping. Vivi and Nojiko put their thumbs up. Zala and Robin smiled.

"Good job," Nojiko said.

"Another orb for us," Vivi added.

Robin looked at the orb. It was a plain green curricular object. "I wonder why they have put these orbs on separate islands," Robin said.

"They wanted to keep it separate for a reason, you are suggesting," Zala said.

"Maybe," Robin said.

"Either way, for now let's keep it with us," Alvida said.

"Where is Ben?" Vivi asked.

At the moment Ben came flying down behind and hugged Vivi from the back.

"Did you call for me?" Ben asked as he kissed her cheek.

Vivi smiled at being held by him. "Hey, it's embarrassing," Vivi said.

The girls looked at Vivi and Ben. They were jealous.

"Pervert,"Kaya said quietly.

Ben transformed into his human form and walked up to Kaya who was leaning on Alvida. He picked her up princess style.

"Hey," she yelled.

"Someone has their energy back," Nojiko said.

She cuddled with Ben and gave no resistance.

"Pervert," she said as she fell asleep.

"That move she did must have drained her," Mikita said.

"Move?" Marianne asked.

"It was beautiful, she created a white arrow with her hands and fired it at a robotic monster. It hit and exploded," Alvida said.

Kaya was peacefully sleeping in Ben`s arms. They all looked at her. "Wow," Honey said.

"These robotic monsters are tough," Ben said.

"They can take a few hits," Honey said.

"But we can take them," Vivi added.

"We have the orb," Mikita said.

"Okay, lets head back to the Miss Love Duck," Ben said.

"It's going to be a squeeze again," Vivi said.

"I don't mind," Honey said.

"You get to have Marianne in your lap and she is cute and small. I have to let Vivi sit in my lap and she had a big bum," Nojiko remarked.

"Hey," Vivi said. She looked embarrassed.

"My love will love it," Alvida said.

"He will love everyone with a big bum," Mikita said. The girls smiled.

"I can put Kaya in Lexie and fly two over," Ben offered.

"No," they all said. They wanted to be close with Ben but Kaya looked peacefully sleeping in his arms and they did not want to disturb her.

"Are you all sure?" Ben asked again.

"Yes, we are my love," Alivda replied. The other girls nodded. They started walking toward Lexie and got in.

Ben transformed into his hybrid and looked at the beautiful Kaya sleeping. She had a smile on her face. He saw the girls get in Lexie. The doors closed. Ben looked at the burning wreckage of the robotic monster. He thought they would be annoying to deal with, however it is giving the girls good training at the same time.

Ben flew up and headed towards the Miss Love Duck. He got there in a few minutes. He landed on the deck and saw BM approach them.

"Welcome back my lord," BM said. She looked at Kaya sleeping in Ben`s arms.

"Is Kaya fine?" BM asked.

"She is exhausted,"Ben replied.

"Okay my lord, shall I take her to her room?" BM asked.

"Thank you for the offer,but I'll take her down," Ben replied.

"My lord, Rubis, Emeraude and Saphir have also boarded the ship. I showed them their room and now they are waiting in the kitchen," BM said.

"Thank you. I will go meet them once I have put Kaya into bed," Ben said. BM nodded.

"Tell Alvida and the others where they are," Ben added.

Ben headed downstairs to Kaya`s room. He walked down the stairs and entered Kaya`s room. He walked in and gently put Kaya on the bed.

Kaya held on to his shirt. Ben was about to move it when he saw Kaya's eyes open.

"Ben, can you be with me?" Kaya asked.
