Toya and his group arrive at the farm lands groaning and moaning.
Lycan leans on Terra who's not as tired as the others.
"What are we doing here Toya, your dad said New Moon Camp." Staria says crawling out of the shield.
"The twins are taking us there, unless you'd prefer someone was cut in half by my shield." Toya says.
Thomas picks up Staria and Medallion, "You're late for work."
"Sorry boss. We have an errand in New Moon to run. We have to go there now." Medallion says.
Thomas drops them, "Dammit. I don't have any one else that partners so well with Aira but you too. When you're done come back here."
"Yes sir." The two boys say.
Jet portals them to New Moon and Kyle smiles.
"I was just about to come there to check on Angela. Thanks for coming to get me." Kyle says.
The boys look at him confused.
"Toya hurry." Raiden says building the strength to run through. That's all he's got left.
Toya calls Sarah for a portal instead.
Sarah opens one and the boys run through it to sleep on the hard ground.
Kyle laughs at Angela dancing like the baby weighs nothing.
Faux laughs when her thighs hurt, "How long have you been training now?"
"A year, years for Luna, a month for us." Kazumi says posing for a photo behind Angela.
"Well, I'm assuming you're doing well than." Kyle says.
Angela nods posting the photo getting up, "Yup."
Luna smiles, "Don't worry there's a super secret to fast results you'll learn." She spanks Angela on the way inside and Numa is feeding the baby.
"Aww, thanks buddy, want me to take over?" Luna asks.
"No! I can take care of her myself." Numa says.
His parents laugh.
Luna sighs missing Toya he always says that, "Okay." The girls sit in Luna's bath tub enjoying a nice group soak, "So Faux, the secret to super fast results, is the perfect super rest routine where you speed up recovery so you can workout again tomorrow like today was nothing. We only do this when we're preparing for a festival the rest of the time we barely exercise."
Faux nods, "Ohh, I get it. It's super unhealthy to force your body to recover."
"We don't force it. We just do the 12 step bath or shower routine and you'll see the rest." Kate says.
The girls apply the 12 step shower routine as a group. After that it's a hair mask.
Sarah removes the colour from her hair and all along it was a mask for her hair to grow longer faster.
Faux smiles, "I want that." She says.
"Solaris did it. I removed the black dye in my hair. I'm going back to my white colour, but I want it brighter than before." Luna says smiling.
Solaris arrives removing the hair masks and applying it again for Faux she recommends a hair mask instead.
Luna shaves off her head and they apply the mask.
The girls drink healing water and use the sticks sleeping in the time vault courtesy of Luna.
Diane joins the girls it's been a while.
Helia rests his head on her shoulder, "I miss you, you're always hanging out with the girls."
Diane frowns, "This is the first time I'm ever included in anything."
"Just for today. You'll join them tomorrow." Helia smirks wrapping his tail around Diane.
"Alright."
Illumi laughs asking Aries to help with the baby.
Aries burps, baths, and dresses the baby.
Illumi nods, "Thank you."
"Only my pleasure."

Faux wakes up feeling so well rested she has breakfast and joins the girls traveling to Camp Black to set up the houses for the people moving there.
"I feel like I can run a marathon." Faux says.
"Good. We'll be running ourselves ragged all day. Every single house here must be filled with supplies by the end of the day." Kazumi says making clones.
Black joins the girls helping here and there, "How are you liking it so far?"
"It's busy, they barely have time to relax. There's always something Murasaki is needed for." Faux says surprised by that. After talking to Mira she thought the others just run themselves ragged
"Soon that's what will be happening here. Everyone will be looking at you too. It's not easy being a leader, you have to enjoy what you're doing." Black says working with his daughter.
The girls take a break and eat sleeping in the time vault before getting back to work.
Sarah receives a call from her grandmother, "Sorry Grand Ma we're in Camp Black right now. I can't make it to training. How about you take a break today and use the golden fruit, you know it knocks you right out for hours, sleep is just as healthy." She hangs up and Rex calls after waking up on the ground, "Get some rest we've got this covered. Aya can use Wish too so we're really making progress without putting all the burden on Luna. Yeah. Okay. No. Dude! Not here. Yes. Like a lot. Bye."
She finishes the last house and meets with Xaaria and Una talking to Lily posting family names on the doors.
Kate is working with Flora planting trees and Tina waters them as well as fills the wells with Water.
"There's a duct where water from that Lake is supposed to come in." Tina says sensing the water going the opposite way.
Coalman nods, "I'll address that. You girls should get something to eat or help Xaaria and Una."
They help the girls faster and than go home.
Faux enjoys the 12 step bath, hair mask and stick , with golden fruit steam.
She wakes up and they have to go back to Camp Black to fix the water issue.
Luna and Tina go under and the water pipes are sealed shut
"I'll call Rin, she can blow them up from the farm lands." Luna says.
Rin smiles excited to blow something up. She blows them up one by one and the water flows to the houses.
They go back home and they have to go to the bridge and check if any infected or people are staying there.
Sarah portals them to the bridge and it's invaders.
Kazumi reports it's people not infected.
"Give them food and supplies." Colin says checking on the farm today.
~~~
Mira smiles getting a hug from her dad, "How are things that side?" She asks..
"The people are still consistent with their weekly chores so now I can focus on the other lands. We'll be moving families from Royal to black, he has a baby to focus on, and I know Coalman has a baby too but his members won't be too big a burden they already take care of themselves." Colin says.
"I missed hanging out." Mira says.
"That's why we're having the stones festival. I want to have some fun with you. How's everything going here?"
"Well, everyone has adjusted well. I heard Luna is coming when she has time to help everyone prepare for the festival. Have you picked a date?" Mira asks.
"No, I want to focus on Royal and Black first, after they have settled in I'll pick a date. Luna asked Charlie move to Black since that's where you'll all be going for school. I came to see how much the kids have learned." He walks to the classroom and the kids are building bridges with wood and little creatures walk on the bridges.
"Well, done. Your bridges are very sturdy. When Cheshire is done with his computer idea you'll be able to learn how to make Nanites from scratch." Charlie says.
Colin smirks, "That would be really great, but that makes my decision 10 times harder, why should I take all that knowledge to Black." He sits down asking Charlie.
"I don't think it's wise to do so." Charlie says.
"But I can't just let you go there to teach language when clearly you have a knack for more than that. It's a big loss on my part if I take you there." Colin says.
Charlie looks at him speechless, "I don't know what to say."
"Me neither, so I'll give you until after the Stones Festival to choose if you will go to Black or stay." Colin looks at the children's books, "That's really impressive."
"I honestly have the guardians to thank with tips. Kazumi motivated the kids with her battle beasts, they sit all day learning how to take care of them. They want to make clothes, so we're waiting for safe sewing machines from Rex. I teach them to cook sometimes, they even want to know how to swim or make fire. They really enjoy school trips to farm houses and helping farmers too. Their enthusiasm for education makes it so easy to teach them." Charlie says.
"Thanks again Charlie. You will never hear it but you have no idea just how much you helped everyone here grow by keeping these kids safe. It's hard to get much done when there's a child that really doesn't care how important what you're doing is, they just want attention, and a good parent has no choice but to look at the child or work with them. So much can go wrong in a time like this, it's easy to neglect the children and say it's for the sake of food on the table, it really is." Colin sighs and walks house to house spending time with everyone and hearing about how they are adjusting.

Luna wakes the girls when they don't have anything to do today and visit the farm lands giving the ladies a Spa day and festival prep.
"This burns." Gail says screaming.
"We know." All of them say at the same time.
When the 10 minutes is over they peel off the mask and proceed with the 12 step bath and cinch everyone into a corset. Solaris gives everyone a hair mask and the ladies sleep in the time vault.
Chronos looks in the mirror at his face and coarse hands, "We seriously should have a spa day too. Back to sleep overs?" He asks the guys groaning from exhaustion.
Rex nods yawning, "Yup. All of us should have a daily soak around festival time like the girls. Split can you tell everyone tomorrow morning. Right now I need sleep."
Sharon already fast asleep agrees in his sleep.
The guys laugh about it.

Brandon arrives at Royal and tells everyone that's already gathered and waiting for him 200 people will be moving to Camp Black to reduce the number of people in this Camp.
"We've chosen by family name, so if I call the surname please come forward for Band exchange." Brandon says with Rin next to him she came to see him today and hangout.
Once the names are called Brandon counts and they are all accounted for. He leaves and the people are taken to Black and find the family name on the door.
"Wow, this is so much better than the house I had at Royal. It's much bigger. More private and I don't share a yard with anyone."
Coalman introduces himself and welcomes everyone letting them know that everyone will come get new clothes after the festival since people tend to not fit in their clothes after festivals, "Women especially. We don't have make up here so you better prepare for that chili mask for those wrinkles and stuff you people hide." He says turning around and going to his house to check on Nano.

Talia smiles looking in the mirror and her dress fits different. It's the one she bought at Murasaki last time. It fits loosely at the too, tighter at the bottom.
Her thighs hurt and the mask is starting to burn even after she stops, that means it's time to stop using it, but she won't until the festival.
She goes to Lana's room and Murasaki girls are here working out with her. With a pregnant woman Talia does not know.
"Goodness, you're pregnant and you can keep up?" Lana moans working through the pain.
"Exactly how I felt." Faux says with pink short hair. Her skin looks so smooth and soft now.
Lana is sweating buckets.
"Working out in front of the steam session really makes it hotter, how do you do it?" Sarah complains starting to sweat.
Luna stripped naked a long time ago. She's sweating the most.
Faux joins the naked workout gang and it feels lighter to workout naked.
Talia leaves and works out in a steam session with Ben today.
"What is this?" Ben asks.
"Something that intensifies the workout. It's still healing essence. Makes you sweat like crazy." Talia replies stretching ready to sweat.
~~~
Ben returns to the camp sweating and in pain.
"Where have you been sneaking off too lately?"
"What does it look like? My everything aches." He takes a bath since he left Talia to bath in the hot spring alone today. Someone saw him leave.
"Wow, you've bulked up like crazy, what have you been bench pressing?"
Ben smirks, "Talia. Fuck I don't know what she uses but it's tight every single time I've never had performance anxiety that bad in my life like today. I just went one stroke and somewhere during 3 and a half I was done. He was down for the count. Lucky round two I redeemed myself. We've been working out in the caves, occasionally I get to work her out. She's always bringing something new to spice things up or try to kill me I don't know." He says enjoying the hot tub.
"She wants you as her date?"
"Yup. We need those stones too, we can't get free food anymore." Ben says.
"After the stones fell out of the sky my garden started making crops. I'm glad I decided to bring seeds here."
"Thanks man. That's going to save our skins for sure."
