Following that world, the next two were equally barren without a soul to be found. By that point the women were becoming increasingly disheartened as we found more and more bodies. When we reach the fourth portal of the day, they were almost ready to call it quits and let me handle it. It would have been one thing if they could have fought the enemy responsible, but finding just the aftermath made them sick to their stomachs.
"If there is nothing in this next world...I am going to need therapy.", Juri said with a downcast look.
"You and me both.", Chun-Li stated, "I thought Bison was cruel, the remnants of people we found are worse than a lot of things he did. That last world looked like people had the lives sucked out of them."
'If only you knew...', I thought wanting to spare them from the horrifying reality we may find.
Stepping through the next portal, this world still had living people on it. Finding that the portal led to a world being invaded by the Wraiths, I ended up getting a face full of Dark Elf boobs...something I wouldn't ever complain about. A few moments later the other women stepped through, and found the woman latched on to me.
"Please help!! My village is under attack, and we need aid!!", she said.
"Miss...could you please let go of him?", Maya laughed with a dark tone.
"Oh! I am sorry!", she stated letting me go, "I thought if he was an enemy I might be able to earn his favor. I don't want my life to be sucked out!!"
"You being attacked by vampires?", Laura asked.
"If only...we have methods for handling them. No, these people smell like bugs and have mouths on their hands.", the Dark Elf told them showing us an image with her magic, "I don't know where they came from, but our village was overrun a few days ago. We bargained our way into the High Elf village nearby...now they are pounding on their barrier too. It won't hold more than a few hours!"
"Is there another settlement nearby that can help you?", Cammy inquired, "If there is one, we can get help from them too."
Shaking her head, the woman admitted she had no idea where another surviving village was. Villages had been disappearing over the past month, but no one knew why till now. Saying they only met the enemy a few days ago, she shivered remembering the horrible memory of watching their Old Chief have the life drained out of them. Several thousand years gone in just a matter of moments, just the thought of it sent shivers down her spine.
"So I was right!! The last world did have their lives drained away!!", Chun-Li growled, "We need to kill them!!"
"Please do!! I...I am not a warrior, but I will do what I can to help.", the Dark Elf said boldly, "I...I can use healing magic and bow!"
"Judging by your skimpy outfit and outrageous curves...I assumed you weren't.", Yao stated trying not to be to blunt with her.
"Hmm, are you from another village? I have only met a High Elf that has smaller breasts than you.", she giggled not realizing it was an insult.
"...say that again.", Yao laughed notching an arrow, "Please, I must have misheard you."
"Now Yao, let's not start a fight right now. Let's focus on the issue at hand, and deal with the enemy. I am sure she didn't mean anything by it, right Miss?", I remarked.
"Oh right, my name is Evelyn Celebrían.", she told us, "I...I am the weakest of my tribe so that is why they sent me. I honestly didn't know where to go so I have been wandering around for the past hour looking for any trails to other villages, but I can't find any."
'That's because there are only a few others, and they are hundreds of miles away.', I thought, "Can you lead us back to your village so we can help?"
"Of course, follow me!", Evelyn shouted.
As we were following her, Rei looked at me and asked if I enjoyed that. Saying that I had no comment, she sighed and shook her head with a smile. Telling me that I had really good luck finding women, I told her I recognized that every morning when I woke up in bed with them. Hearing them laugh with approval, they were happy to receive the compliment from me.
Entering the village through an underground passage, we ended up popping up in the Village Chief's house. Currently discussing their options for how to deal with the situation, Evelyn popped her head up first. Waving to her current Chief, Evelyn broke the news to them.
"I found some people to help us!", Evelyn proclaimed.
"Oh?", her leader Delva replied, "Was there another village close by we didn't know about?"
"No, I found them coming through the strange portal we found a while ago.", Evelyn informed her, "They offered to help us, and...they have a man!!"
"You are sure they aren't enemies?", Delva questioned before the last part registered with her, "Wait did you say a man!?"
Popping my head up next, I gave the women a smile. Seeing me, the Elven women in the room perked up with interest.
'Hot damn!! I hit the fucking jackpot here!! It is the world I thought it was, it's Youkoso! Skebe Elf no Mori he!!', I thought containing my excitement behind Poker Face, "Hello ladies, Evelyn was filling us in on the current situation. We are here to help!"
"Is that so, well then do you think you could help us?", Nol the High Elf Chief asked me with a smile smile, "We can certainly use your help if you are offering. There isn't much of value we have, but...I think we can arrange something."
"Of course I can.", I said pulling the Super Shotgun out of storage, "Holding your village isn't going to be an option at this point. The best course of action is to kill the enemy here, and then leave the village before reinforcements arrive. Get everyone to one place so I can teleport us out. Make sure they bring their necessities as we don't have Elves on our world so there may be things you need we don't have."
"You sure you can do that? That is a lot of people.", Misery stated with a seductive smile, "I doubt even I could pull it off, and I have centuries of experience and practice."
"I can do it no problem.", I remarked, "Alright ladies, it's time to do our thing!"
Popping out of the passage way, they nodded their heads and followed me out of the house. Heading towards where the enemy was on my map, we found nearly forty soldiers hammering away on the barrier. The Elven guards that were there, held their bows tightly as they aimed for the enemy. Those that had fought them previously would have known that arrows would have done squat to the Wraiths. The Wraiths were technologically superior to the Elves, and had armor that would destroy the arrows before they reach them.
"It's time to fall back.", Tuka told them, "We will take it from here."
"We can't someone has to stop them!", the guards refused, "We can't let our sister's down!"
"Let's be realistic, you are shaking where you stand. Just leave it to us.", Yao remarked, "You aren't their equal in combat, and will only lose your lives needlessly."
Resisting the urge to flee for a few moments, eventually the guards buckled and fled. Feeling bad for them, it was evident by their facial expressions that they knew all along that they were going to die at their post. Having likely drawn the short straws, they ended up being the bait for the others to flee if it came to it. Turning my attention to the Wraiths, they had stopped their attack to observe us.
"They really do look a bit like bugs.", Maya quietly said to Saeko.
"Agreed...they look like villains from one of Victor's cheesy science fiction movies.", Saeko replied with a nod of her head, "No offense Victor, I do enjoy them for a good laugh."
"Hey, some of us like the cheesy movies too.", Cammy giggled.
"Enough!!", the Wraith Team Leader growled, "We will not tolerate an inferior race insulting our appearance!"
Cracking their knuckles the women were ready to kill them. Having seen the state of the previous world we visited, they were raring to go. Sensing the Killing Intent we were hitting them with, the Wraiths hesitated to continue their attack on the barrier.
"Remove their hands, that is their weak point.", I told the women loading rounds into the shotgun, "After those are gone, they are no better than a normal human. Don't let a single one of them survive, and don't show them mercy."
"Believe me...that wasn't ever an option.", Juri growled cracking her neck, "Hope you are ready maggots, your about to die today!"
Acknowledging that, the ten of us rushed forward to attack them. Having thought we were just acting tough, the Wraiths stumbled back a few feet before gathering their wits. Drawing their weapons and aiming them at us, I jumped through the barrier putting the shotgun at almost point blank range from the leader. Shooting me in the chest, he saw that he didn't even get a grunt out of me.
"What are you!", he spat in shock.
"Baba Yaga.", I said jamming the barrel in his mouth, "Let me know how this tastes!"
Blowing his head off, his men panicked. Seizing this opportunity, the women ran past me and unloaded all their rage on the Wraiths. Putting the shotgun back in storage, I pulled the Crucible out and started lopping heads off. Saeko and Maya quickly started to remove the hands of the Wraiths for everyone's safety. Once their biggest asset was gone, the other women pumbled the shit out of them. Watching them mercilessly obliterate the Wraiths who were trying to flee was actually really attractive in it's own way. Incinerating the corpses we killed, they didn't stop till every single one of them had their faces caved in or were sliced into small pieces.
Nodding my head in approval, the women asked if there were more of them nearby. Reminding them that we needed to evacuate the civilians first, they quickly remembered our main goal. Getting them cleaned off, we returned to the village where a large amount of women were gathered. Noticing the lack of men, Rei looked at me with concern.
"Where are all the men? I don't see a single one.", Rei pointed out.
'If I told you this was a hentai world, and that was part of the story you wouldn't believe me.', I thought, "I am not sure, why don't we ask the Village Chief."
Asking the question to her, Nol explained that the Elves here were born from World Trees. The problem was as of late the trees stopped making Elves so they had been in quite a bind. The High Elves and the Dark Elves were fighting each other a lot so the populations of both groups started to dwindle to the point that neither side could really spare soldiers to fight.
"We were thinking of going to find a Savior to help produce more of us, but...", Nol said eyeing me, "I don't think that is necessary anymore."
'Thank you Clark!', I thought loudly in my mind, 'This makes all the bullshit worth it!'
"What the hell!!", Midna complained smacking me on the back of the head, "You had me next to you this entire time, and now you are drooling over these...these loose women!"
"You aren't jealous, are you?", I teased, "I happen to be a man of culture so why would I turn them away? They are generally nice people, the groups may have some problems with each other but it is manageable. Besides which, I am not going to take in all these Elves myself. I think I found the best bar maidens imaginable for my plans."
"Wait...you aren't taking all of them?", Midna inquired.
"Of course not!! There is over three hundred Elves here, and there are still other cities to save!! I am thinking of courting maybe six of them!", I sighed, "Am I really that low in your view?"
"Do you want that answer?", she asked.
Shaking my head, she sat on my shoulder and listened to the conversation. Asking us about the world we were taking them to, Laura did a good job of explaining things on our side. Seeing the relief on some of their faces, they seemed to think they might become slaves or something. Assuring them they wouldn't Nol and Delva asked who the leader of our group was. Immediately pointing to me, the two women smiled contently.
"You aren't a normal person are you?", Nol asked walking around me, "You are brimming with more magic than any of us. Are you a deity?"
"I am a High Human.", I told her honestly.
"Oh?", Delva inquired, "I have heard of them in myth before. Is it true you are immortal?"
"Yes.", I replied.
Nodding their heads, Nol and Delva seemed satisfied with that answer. Accepting the offer to come to our world, I had everyone gather around before snapping my fingers. Moving us back to the settlement instantly, Nol seemed extremely interested in me now. Grabbing my hand, she started looking for traces of magic so she could learn the same spell.
Our sudden appearance in camp didn't go unnoticed, especially the male crowd. Huddling up in fear, the Elves nervously looked around at the men eyeing them. Having gone from never seeing a man to having dozens staring at them was likely a shocking experience.
"Ahem...", I coughed getting the men's attention, "Don't gawk at our new arrivals. If you want to meet them, how about using your fucking manners!"
Several of the married men dashed off before their wives found out, but several of the single men came forward to introduce themselves. Speaking with the women nervously, the women thought it was cute and slowly started to warm up to them. Deciding to not interrupt the good atmosphere, I noticed that Mirellia was staring at me from the side, I gave her a thumbs up and motioned for her to come over.
"I see you found more people...", she laughed dryly.
"I did, I think I found our way of stabilizing race relations.", I replied.
Realizing I wasn't thinking only with my lower half, her expression softened. Agreeing with me, she asked me what jobs I would be assigning them. Telling her they could work as bar maidens, bathhouse attendants, and even shop employees she agreed they could certainly swing things towards more friendly relations. After gathering the remaining people from their world, we started putting our plan into action.
