Listening to Claire and Jane fume about their supposed friend's lies, the two of them sat in the corner discussing things. Getting up with Lucy, Gwen desperately grabbed my arm.
"Victor, we had no idea we brought someone like that into our house!", Gwen shrieked.
"Don't worry, no one in this home knew, and I only now just got confirmation of me suspicions.", I assured her, "You have nothing to worry about."
"Are you sure?", the Empress asked pushing her breasts against me in a desperate attempt to ensure they stayed in my good graces.
Honestly, I was quite fond of the Empress. My impression of politicians was quite bad as most of them abandoned the masses in order to save their own hides. Having watched her and her family for a while, she took their safety quite seriously. If push came to shove, I was sure she'd sleep with anyone to protect her family.
"Hey, hands off!!", Lucy shouted burying my right arm between her breasts, "He said he wasn't going to hold you accountable, so came your tits!"
"Both of you stop, I am certain that you had no way of knowing.", I told them all, "She has been quite secretive about her activities so none of us saw this coming. Please just trust that I am not going to reprimand you for this."
"Between this and the lack of work we have done...", Gwen said jumping up and hugging me, "I am worried we are going to get thrown out. We will do whatever it takes to ensure we don't get thrown out."
"Precisely, we will do whatever you ask of us.", the Empress wholeheartedly agreed, "We have tried doing the jobs that others have, but we are not able to match their pace."
'Admittedly you all lived a far to pampered lifestyle.', I thought, 'There are some tasks I guess I could have them do that is sort of in their wheelhouse. Kyoko could use some assistants with processing paperwork, that falls within their strengths. I just need to ensure that they won't be loose lipped when they are under the influence.'
Telling them that it really wasn't necessary, I said we would find them a suitable position. As much as tempting as it was to continue their royal bloodlines, I had bigger fish to fry at the moment. I needed to figure out who Ada sold information too, and who her employer was. To my knowledge her employer was never named specifically and she never saw the person directly. Stating that I needed to gather more information from Ada, I went to her room alone. Entering the room without knocking, I found her sitting on her bed with a downcast look. Unlike her previous flirtatious behavior, I could tell she wasn't playing around now.
"Ada, I need more intel from you.", I stated.
"So you can kill me afterwards?", she laughed dryly, "I admit I have done a lot of wrong things, and have killed people who were undeserving."
"Ada, I-"
"Save it, you know how many times I have seen men try to comfort a woman to get what they want? I have been around enough slimy people to know all those tricks.", she told me, "Many of my colleagues fell for such lies, and I found them with knives in their backs."
"I am not going to kill you.", I told her, "If you provide the information, it's a good way to start making amends."
Looking at me with a sigh, she understood she had nothing left to lose at this point. Nodding her head she pulled out a notepad out of her bag, and handed it to me. Opening it up I found detailed notes on what she stole, when she stole it, and who she sold it too. Glancing at her, she said she kept the notes in the off chance one of her clients double crossed her. Apparently it was something that happened really frequently in the Underworld, but had yet to happen to her.
"This is enough to have Red and White Queens start investigating.", I thanked her, "As for your secrets I think it's best if you take sometime to sort it out with those two."
"You honestly think they will forgive me?", she asked with a soft expression.
"It will take some time, but I think they will. As thanks for the intel, I will put a good word in for you.", I chuckled.
Seeing a mischievous smile creep onto her face, she shot up and gave me a kiss on the lips.
"You are a nice guy under that stern exterior.", she teased me, "I might consider retirement...if a good offer came my way."
Giving her a smirk, I said she was pushing her luck today. Pressing her chest against me one last time, she gave me a deep kiss before pushing me out of her room and closing the door behind me. Putting in a good word for her with Claire and Jane, I took Lucy with me and went home. Handing the information to the two AI's, they got to work using Umbrella's network to piece together the full picture. Telling me that they would get back to me once they had something, I thanked them.
Giving the others an update on the situation, Lucy left for the night after giving me a stare. She obviously wanted to talk about what Ada had said, but understood I had a big announcement coming. Looking at me with giddy expressions, I got the impression that someone or a few of them we expecting...or a lot.
"Alright, the suspense is killing me.", I said playing along, "You going to tell me now?"
Before anyone spoke up, Shizuka tackled me with a beaming smile.
"We are expecting!!", she laughed nuzzling my face with excitement.
"Shizuka...we had this planned out.", Yuko sighed, "Those of us that had a positive test were supposed to go in order."
"Yeah!!", Saya shouted with a flushed face.
"I couldn't help it, I have been waiting for this moment for a while now.", Shizuka giggled, "I am going to be a mother! My mother would be so proud of me! I wonder if we will have triplets like my aunt did!!"
"God help your child.", Rika teased her, "If they have a quarter of your klutzy nature, we are all in for a world of hurt."
"Rika!!", Shizuka pouted, "I don't want to hear that when you are too! Your children are going to be addicted to alcohol and smoking!!""
"At least my child won't be born to a klutzy woman.", Rika chuckled giving me and Shizuka a hug, "Thanks for the present stud, I didn't think it be so soon. My grandmother was always hassling me about having kids, now she can stop tossing in her grave."
"Ara Ara.", Namiyo and Saori added with seductive smiles.
In all I managed to get Saya, Yuriko, Kiriko, Kyoko, Nina, Pucca, Shizuka, Rika, Yuko, Yoko, Sayo, Renka, Miu, Saori, Namiyo, and Daiyu pregnant all on that night. Unsurprisingly all of the women were over the moon about how easy it was. All of them suspected it was due to my biology, which it was absolutely linked too. Without any protection or birth control, it was extremely easy to have kids with them. That said, it still wasn't a 100% chance like it would be with Red and White Queens. Having a small party to celebrate the news, I decided it was time to rip this band-aide off now with Kenichi and Takashi. They were going to find out soon enough, and I'd rather it be from me. Leaving the house for a bit to speak with them, the result wasn't what I expected.
"You what!?", Takashi shouted with a conflicted look, "You mean...you are having a baby with my mother? Jeez..."
"I am, with Saori and Namiyo.", I told them, "I am not expecting our relationship to change, but still I wanted to tell you both first."
"I appreciate it...", Kenichi said with a shocked look, "I...I never thought I would get another sibling. Especially from a guy my age...this is all sorts of messed up."
"Believe me Kenichi, I expected to stay an only child.", Takashi sighed, "You seriously better take care of them. Even if we get killed by you, we will make you pay if you harm them."
"You know damn well I will.", I told him, 'It's a good thing you guys didn't hear what happened that night. You may have had a heart attack...'
Nodding his head, the two of them wandered off to let the news settle in and drink it away. I was honestly surprised they took it so well. I half expected the two of them to chew me out, but they gave average responses. Asking Midna if the two mother's had told them prior, Midna confirmed they hadn't.
"They have accepted the fact their mothers are sleeping with you, and they also accepted that you have taken excellent care of them. It's a bit uncomfortable knowing someone their age impregnated their mother's but they aren't about to rain on their mother's happiness.", Midna replied.
'If only they had been that receptive in the beginning.', I thought, 'All that lip in the beginning, and now they barely react...I am happy we are making progress here!'
---Next Day---
Taking a boat to Kodiak Island, I went with Lucy and a few others to meet with the Coast Guard Base Commander. Our goal was to seal the deal on our alliance with the US Military, and inform them of our plans to reach Raccoon City. I wasn't entirely convinced that everyone in the military was on our side so I would test them to see what came of it. Disembarking from the ship, I greeted the familiar face with a smile.
"Victor, it's been quite some time.", he laughed, "Last I saw you, you were only four feet tall and causing quite a stir with your antics."
"I had to make you earn your pay.", I remarked, "It was too quite on base."
"On to business, we are more than ready to assist with anything you need. The few remaining military commander not on the Umbrella payroll have given their blessing to help you kill your father.", he said with a sad expression, "I can't believe we were all tricked and led around by that man. It's hard to wrap my head around, I fought alongside him in several places in Europe...it's a hard pill to swallow."
"That is a relief to hear that some people are still resisting.", I said, "I was afraid the mainland states were completely gone at this point."
"They mostly are, a few groups are still resisting the onslaught. Recent events have already taken down two settlements near Raccoon City. Last transmission we received described terrifying creatures that bullets barely seemed to register with.", he told me showing me pictures, "All I can say is that your father is a rat bastard for desecrating the dead like he has. Not only that, we have information that he has been dragging some people with immunity to his tower in Raccoon City."
Looking the pictures over, I knew we were in for a hard fought battle to reach Wesker. We were ready to fight them, but holding the territory we re-took was going to be extremely difficult. Some of these fuckers were ripped like steroid addict bodybuilders just over twelve feet tall. The one that stood out the most a Tyrant carrying a giant metal cross that was covered in bandages.
'Looks like I am going to have to mount their heads over our fireplace.', I thought.
"Tank rounds injured them, but anything less than a 45 caliber just pisses them off it.", he stated, "Most settlements are heading this way in a massive migration. We have you to thank for that."
"I have a lot of strong people in my group.", I replied.
"No they are coming here for your strength personally.", he chuckled showing me a video from South Korea, "You're either stupid or insane for fighting a horde of several million alone. The South Korean government published the footage around the globe. Watching you slaughter the horde, your weird martial art style, those blades, and toppling a massive skyscraper...needless to say the world is watching you closely. No one has come close to ripping the head of a Demon with just their hands like opening a pickle jar."
"So they told everyone about that...", I chuckled, "So nice of them."
"Anyways, let's get down to business.", he said offering us a seat in a makeshift tent.
Going over several plans and options they had for getting to Raccoon City...frankly they were completely worthless. Based on the equipment we had, and knew this was coming, they were next to useless in this fight without artillery fire and tanks. Sure the Undead could be dealt with by standard firearms, but the Demons and new Undead would shrug almost all of their firepower off. Looking up at him with a confused look, he nodded his head knowing what I saw.
"The Demons are our weakness, we don't have the assets to take them out in large numbers. Demons that are human sized can be killed, but the more massive ones...everything we have just pisses them off. Missiles work, but they are in very short supply. Umbrella locked most of the arsenal down remotely so we are dead in the water.", he told us, "If you have anything that could potentially help us...I would be extremely grateful."
Nodding my head, I pretended to look like I was thinking while actually looking in my Item Store. It had been a while since I looked in there so I was hoping to find something that could help increase our chances. When I opened the store though instead of a selection to browse, I had a search bar.
'What the fuck is this!?', I thought, 'Don't tell me I lost my Item Shop!!'
"Calm down, my husband updated your system so it functions like Amazon.", a familiar female voice said.
"Wait...your Clark's wife? Your voice sounds familiar to me...are you-", I started to say.
"My name is Jean Wayne now.", she laughed, "You probably knew me as Jean Grey though."
"Shit, he married you?!", I gasped.
"He married a lot of us.", another female voice said.
"Is that Raven!?", I said, 'Son of gun he married a lot of fine looking women!'
"Thanks for the compliment.", several voices laughed.
"Fuck...you heard that.", I sighed, "Either way, you said that Clark edited my Item Shop to be like Amazon? Do you guys even have that in your world?"
"Yes, Clark made it.", a younger female voice told me.
"Thank him for me, where is he anyways?", I questioned.
"Currently he is at the park with the children giving us a break.", Jean informed me, "He likes taking them there to burn some energy, and get them something to eat. Just wait till you have kids of your own, they won't be as wild as ours but you will have your hands full."
Thanking her again, I felt the connection sever a few moments later. Having a vague idea of what women he married, I chuckled thinking about how luck he was. Looking at the prices for items, the prices of items had dropped to literal single digit numbers which was another great change. Purchasing several schematics from the Item Shop, my goal was to have the Black Label team use them to build weapons and equipment to further our cause.
"My recommendation is securing a safe area for the people we currently have, and make our advance on Hawaii. If we capture the bases there, we are poised to make a strike on the West Coast. We will have several military bases and weapons depots to gather from to build our strength for our push towards Raccoon City.", I stated.
"Why Hawaii?", he asked.
"We need the facilities there to maintain ships, manufacture munitions, and most importantly we will have nuclear capabilities. I show they have several nukes we can use to clear large swaths of land.", I replied, "It's just another bit of persuasion we will have against Wesker."
Seeing the value of increasing our strength before pushing harder, he liked the plan. It meant they could focus mainly on the defensive war while using minimal resources to bring in increased firepower. Shaking hands with me, he said he would coordinate it with the other bases. Thanking him for his time, we left the base soon afterwards.
"Victor, that wasn't the same plan you told everyone else.", Lucy stated.
"Of course not, this is a test to see if they have any leaks in their bases. If Umbrella moves to counter the plan, we know that they have a mole.", I chuckled with a smile.
"Oh!!", Lucy said, "Now I see! So wait...how do we know that you don't test us for moles?"
"You won't, my wives will know.", I teased, "I am not stupid enough to try that with them."
"Why won't you tell me!?", Lucy huffed.
"Lucy...you are very loose lipped when your are drunk...", I chuckled, "Remember Christmas last year?"
Christmas last year I went out to buy presents for the girls I was courting. I bought several pieces of equipment and jewelry for them, and Lucy tailed me the entire time. Since I figured my father had her tail me, I let it go and put it to the back of my mind. When it came time to pass out gifts to them, all of them were aware and told me Lucy told them what I bought. Going to have it out with her, I found her passed out on my Dad's bar after finishing a bottle of tequila. I ended up having to carry her back to her room where...well I may have seen more than I intended too. She didn't remember that night, but I certainly did.
"No I don't remember...", she said scratching head, "Wait!! I thought you forgave me for that!!"
"I did, I never said I wouldn't forget it.", I told her with a smile.
"Sometime you are a meanie!!", she pouted as she hit my arm.
"Come on, we have work to finish back home.", I reminded her.
