James stepped out of the steaming shower. He dressed quickly and stepped into the hallway. He was just about to summon the lift when he spotted two women.
"Oni-chan!" Illuna cried out as her face lit up with a smile as she skipped toward him.
"Darling," Miia said as she slithered towards him.
"Good morning, you two," James said.
Before he could take another step, Miia lunged forward and wrapped her arms tightly around his bicep. She hugged his hand close. Miia pressed her soft large ample breasts firmly against his arm. "We've been looking everywhere for you," she remarked. Her eyes sparked as she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Illuna watched Miia's brazen display of affection and puffed out her cheeks in a cute, dramatic pout. "Oni-chan is mine too," she grumbled as she tugged at his shirt.
James chuckled and reached down and placed a hand on Illuna's head. He gave her a gentle, slow pat. "Don't worry, Illuna. I'm right here for you, too," he said with a smile on her face.
The little vampire's pout melted instantly into a blissful grin. "Hehe, Oni-chan," she chirped as she leaned into his touch. It felt so good .
"So," James asked as he looked between the lamia and the vampire. "Why exactly were you both hunting me down so early?" he asked with a smile on his face.
"Because we're all ready for a fun day out," Illuna responded as she was bouncing up and down.
"Yes, Darling," Miia added. "It's unfair! You've been so busy with kings and church that you haven't taken us out lately," she added.
James smiled. "You're absolutely right, I've been neglectful. Where do you want to go?" he asked. He thought there were two places he had in mind.
"Just a short trip around the forest," Illuna suggested.
"With that big thing, the Humvee," Miia added. "And maybe into town," she said.
James let out a short laugh. "Well, we do have those new royal ID cards, so we can go wherever we want without any trouble. Why not?" he said.
"Yay! The others are waiting on the Second Floor," Illuna shouted.
James nodded. "Then let's not keep the family waiting," he said. He thought he promised to ride Cera today. "We'll need to take Cera as well," he added.
"Cera is already there," Illuna confirmed.
"Let's go then," Miia said as she refused to let go of his arm
James summoned the lift with a wave of his hand. They stepped onto the platform. James pressed the control panel: Second Floor: Garage. The lift ascended smoothly, and when the doors slid open, they were greeted by the sight of the hanger. Kusano, Papi, Suu, and Rachnera were all gathered around the lead Humvee.
"Master, you're finally," Cera started, but her voice trailed off when she saw Miia practically fused to James's side. She stared at the way Miia's breasts were squished against him. "What exactly do you think you're doing, snake?" she asked.
Kusano puffed out her cheeks. Suu copied Kusano.
"Husband! You're here," Papi chirped as she fluttered her wings and landed next to James.
Rachnera leaned against the back of the vehicle. She smiled and licked her lips. "It's about time, James," Racherna remarked.
"Good morning to all of you," James said. "Who's ready for a small road trip?" he asked.
"We are," Papi said as jumped up and down. Suu copied her movements.
"This will be fun," Illuna said.
James looked over at Cera. "I promised I will be riding on Cera today," he said as he looked at her. Cera blushed thinking of it. "But that brings up a question, do any of you actually know how to drive?" he asked.
He looked at the group of monster girls and thought that this would be tricky for them.
"We already discussed this, Darling," Miia responded confidently. ""I'll take the wheel and steer us," she added as she went towards the steering wheel.
"And we'll handle the pedals," Papi chirped as she hopped onto the floorboard. Suu nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes. It will be teamwork," Kusano added as she nodded her head with a serious expression.
James felt a cold sweat break out. The image of a three-person or monster driving team in a multi-ton military vehicle was a recipe for disaster. "I don't know about that, maybe we should get Lois, Shizuka, or Yuriko to take the wheel," he suggested.
Right on cue, the lift hummed to a stop and the doors slid open. Yuriko stepped out. "What's the matter, James? You don't trust them?" she teased.
"It's not about trust, Yuriko," James replied as he rubbed the back of his neck. "A Humvee is a beast of a vehicle. It isn't exactly easy to handle, especially if you're splitting up the steering and the braking," he added.
"But my plan," Miia pouted as her tail lashed back and forth in disappointment.
James looked her in the eye. "Miia, have you ever actually driven a vehicle before?" he asked.
"No," Miia admitted as her shoulders drooped. "But I watched it on TV," he added.
James smiled warmly. He reached out to tilt her chin up so she'd look at him. "I'll tell you what. I was planning to head to a universe where we might find 'living' vehicles that can help you to drive. Just wait for that, okay?" he remarked.
Miia's eyes widened. There was a deep blush spread across her cheeks as she leaned into his touch. "If you promise, Darling," she whispered as her tail coiled happily around his leg.
"I promise," James said as he gave her a wink before turning back to the group. "Yuriko, you're in the driver's seat," he said.
"Understood," Yuriko responded with a confident smirk as she hopped into the cabin and gripped the steering wheel. Behind her, a chaotic scramble ensued as Kusano, Suu, Illuna, and Papi climbed into the back seats. They were giggling and jostling for the best view out of the windows.
Rachnera, however, didn't bother with the cramped interior. She effortlessly pulled herself onto the open back of the Humvee. Her spider legs onto the metal frame. "I like it out here," she remarked. "The breeze is much better for my senses," he added.
James turned to the tall centaur girl. "Cera, can I ride on your back for the trip?" James asked.
Cera blushed. "I... I do not mind, Master! It is an honor," she replied.
She lowered her powerful body to the ground. James smiled and climbed up and settled onto the her back. "I am ready," she remarked.
Cera blushed. He was going to ride her. "Okay," she replied as she rose back to her full.
James moved his hand and touched her breasts. "Master, Cera yelped as she felt his hands on her breasts. She moaned once.
"What was that?" Yuriko said as she looked in the mirror and saw James touching Cera`s breasts.
"I was holding for support," James teased.
"Lower," Cera said as she felt his strong hands squeezing her breasts.
"Sure," James replied as he lowered his hand around her waist.
Raherna sighed. "Typical," she said as she looked forward.
"Alright, Yuriko," James called out. "Let's move out," he said.
The Humvee's engine roared to life and they left the Dungeon.
The Humvee roared as Yuriko shifted into gear. The heavy tires churned the dirt of the forest path. She had a smile on her face. She looked up at the rear view mirror.
She saw Kusano and Illuna pressed against the windows and pointing at every passing bird. Pap was flapping her wings. Miia was looking at Cera and James. Suu had flattened herself against the ceiling like a blue slime-mold.
"This is so much faster than a carriage," Illuna cheered.
Yuriko looked at Miia. "What is on your mind?" Yuriko asked.
"Nothing," Miia replied as she looked in the mirror.
Yuriko smiled. "Dont be jealous, James needs his lamia as much as you need him," Yuriko remarked.
"I was not thinking of him," Miia said as she went red.
Yuriko chuckled.
From the back, Rachnera smiled.
James sat firmly on Cera's back. The centaur's face was red. Her ears twitched with every shift of James's weight.
"This is quite fun," James remarked.
"I am glad," Cera said as she blushed.
Suddenly, the sky turned a bruised, electric purple. A violent electric tornado dropped from the clouds.
Yuriko had no time and the tornado engulfed them. She fought the steering wheel. The massive Humvee was pulled off its tires and then onto the tornado. She could steer in it.
Miia shrieked as she coiled her tail around the seats, while Suu turned into a frantic liquid mess, splashing against the windows.
"What is this?" Miia asked.
"Hang on," Yuriko said.
"This is fun," Papi cheered with a smile on her face.
James saw the tornado come out of nowhere. He thought this was no ordinary tornado. They were also sucked into it. "Hang on," James yelled as he held her waist.
"What is thy?" Cera questioned as they were caught in the massive gust. They were lifted off the ground. Cera let out a startled cry.
"I've got you," Rachnera hissed from the spinning Humvee. She fired a thick, reinforced strand of spider web through the storm. The webbing wrapped securely around Cera's waist.
James held it. He looked up to see an opening. "Yuriko! Ten o'clock! There's an opening," James roared.
Yuriko saw the flicker of daylight through the swirling debris. She floored the accelerator. The Humvee tires drove on the tornado and propelled forward. With a final, violent jolt, the vehicle surged through the gap. Cera and James were dragged behind them like a kite on a string.
They burst through the other side of the portal and the tornado disappeared.
