The boat floats to the sandy beaches of the island. Seemingly no one in sight as the three of them look around.
“This place seems deserted…” Yuma agrees with Cani.
“Let’s search for materials and food so we can make it to the next island without worrying about running out of food and what-not…” Nezxa nods and jumping down on the sand. Cani afterwards followed by Yuma.
The three of them walk down the crumbled and fallen apart street. Yuma was slightly shocked.
“This place looks devastated…” Cani agrees as they hear someone. All three of them rushed to hide behind a wall of a crumbling building. Someone walking down the street in ripped up clothes. Nezxa hearing something.
“I hear something in that building over there!” Nezxa runs across the street. Cani shouting silently.
“Wait!” The person notices them.
“Hey! You aren’t supposed to be here!” The man rushes at them as Yuma jumps out. Shouting at Cani.
“You follow Nezxa and see what he’s talking about! I’ll deal with these guys!” She nods and follows him into a building. Yuma kicks the man and punches him to the ground. Running into the building before more people see him.
Nezxa slams open the door as a girl lays on the floor hiding behind some furniture.
“Hi little one…” The girl hides further behind the furniture.
“I’m not little… I’m 16… What do you want with me, you creep?” Nezxa signs and relaxes his shoulders and stands up.
“I was probably scaring you… Sorry…” The girl stays silent and looks over the arm of the chair she hid behind. Her cat ears matched her bright orange hair and purple eyes. Nezxa smiling and relaxing.
“You know… You remind me of my daughter… except for the ears and tail…” The girl perks up a bit.
“What’s your name kid?” She hides a bit again.
“Kinsha…” Nezxa nods slowly as Cani angrily drags him out of the room and into the hallway.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“NO! We are not getting a young girl to bring with us!... Nonetheless a-” Cani tries to stop herself from puking.
“Cat… Girl…” Cani gags as Nezxa laughs. Turning around to look as Kinsha stands behind them.
“Technically it’s up to the captain whether we take her or not… and don’t you want a girl you can talk to instead of two boy’s you hate?” Cani is kinda shocked but he has a good point. She sighs as Yuma runs past.
“They’re too many of them… they’re on my tail… grab the girl and jump! They’ll kill her too!” Cani is shocked as she watches Yuma body slam the 3rd floor window. Cani gagging as she grabs the girl and jumps out the window. Nezxa spreads a wall of magma to stop the men as he follows suit out the window.
Nezxa catches up to the running Yuma.
“You know you didn’t have to bodyslam the window, right?... I would've killed them with my Magma dragon apocalypse-” Yuma interrupts him.
“It would attract too much attention… Something we DON’T need right now… I also didn’t feel like committing first degree manslaughter yet” Nezxa is shocked Yuma thought that far ahead.
The 4 of them land on the boat as Cani puts Kinsha down. Quickly stepping back as Yuma walks over.
“Why are you so disgusted by this young lady, huh?... think about what Kuza would say” Cani is shocked as Yuma laughs. The young girl hides behind Nezxa’s legs, surprising all three of them. Yuma was laughing hysterically.
“YOU HAVE A NEW DAUGHTER!!” Nezxa smiles calmly while patting her head causing her tail to wag. Yuma looking at the island.
“Cani… Take us to the next island” Cani nods and grabs the wheel.
“Conquest island… here we come!”
The boat floats just off the coast of the island as they all jump down to the harbor of the island. No one takes notice of their arrival as Yuma sighs.
“So… How long should we stay here?” There was silence as Yuma turned to Cani and the new girl.
“I don’t know what will happen here so… Can… you stay here and watch the girl… our ship is out in the open and I don’t wanna risk someone stealing the stuff we just got” Cani nods and helps Kinsha back onto the boat as Yuma and Nezxa walk around town.
Cani sits down at a table after giving Kinsha some food and sighing.
“I know I was kinda mean to you from the start… Sorry about that… It’s not that I hate you in specific… it’s the thought of the transformation into a cat person must have been painful.” Kinsha nods and takes a bite of the food in awe of its deliciousness. Taking more bites.
“But… only people who’ve come through Heaven’s Gate are able to use Abilities?... How did you get yours?” Kinsha looks at Cani.
“That’s what those massive doors and that wall are called?... Yeah… I came through them just a week ago… My head still hurts from these stupid ears…” There was silence as Cani turned away.
“Is that so?... Do you know WHY you’re here and not in Heaven’s… In your Hometown?” The girl shakes her head.
“I only remember being a slave to a corporation of an unknown name… it was like Utsuuad… or something… I managed to escape Colonial Ikati and made it here on a vessel returning beyond Heaven’s gate or whatever you called it…” Cani is slightly shocked.
“Colonial Ikati?... He’s one of the 10 Demon Lords!... How did you escape him?” Kinsha looks away.
“I didn’t really escape… He just really liked how good I was at cleaning… and he let me go… But I ended up getting on the wrong ship… came here instead of home…” Cani nods slowly.
“Well that’s strange… but… eat up… you’re too skinny and that’s not healthy…” Kinsha nods and takes another bite.
“So good!!”
