Chapter 138: Athleticism

“Cousin Eni?” Mika raised her head, “Oh dear, you’ve grown into a woman!”

Mika then rushed forward, and hugged Eni, lifting her up. The size difference between the two of them was great, it was comic, but this was a small family reunion nonetheless. Both of them were happy.

“Where have you been, cousin?” Eni asked, “We thought you were lost in a hunt! Your mother still mentions you after every other full moon.”

“She’s alive?” Mika let go of her cousin, and teared up, “What about my father?”

“They’re both alive, and well,” Eni said, “They’re old now, though, you should know that. You haven’t aged a bit, so I’m guessing something weird is going on here.”

“Yes, I didn’t age,” Mika said, “I was trapped in here by some weird green guys, they were so ugly… it doesn’t matter, I’m free now. Come on, I want to see my parents!”

Under normal circumstances, Jimmy would never want to leave this bunker until he explored every inch of it. He wanted to know everything about this bunker, and get to any loot that he could claim under his name, however, a sensitive situation arose, which prompted him to leave the bunker with the ladies.

It wasn’t like the tribesfolk would get down here and loot the place, they’d be scared shitless of the one-thousand foot staircase alone, not to mention anything else. The bunker was safe, it was his to claim and use at any time, so he walked Mika out of here, along with his girlfriends.

Jimmy wanted to provide emotional support to her, but also, he had a scientific interest. He wanted to see if her body modifications would disappear after some time, or even if she was going to live long enough to have a reunion with the tribe. If she ended up to be completely healthy, then the containers in the bunker were a weapon that were at his behest. He could build an army with them!

As they walked up the staircase, Anna walked close to him, and asked, “Did you find anything cool down there? Other than the viking queen, I mean.”

“She does look pretty badass doesn’t she?” He expressed, “A warrior, better than most.”

Sensing that Anna was getting a bit irritated by his admiration towards Mika, he quickly switched to the other topic. He didn’t want to mess up his relationship with Anna.

For that matter, he said, “Oh, I found these cool boots. Anti-gravity, I think? It’s impossible to fall while wearing them, they’re pretty cool.”

Furthermore, he added, “I also found this cool plasma pistol, but… son of a bitch! I left it on top of the control panel.”

“Is that safe?” She asked, “God, you’re a clumsy little pretty boy, aren’t you?”

“Heh,” He got a bit red, “The pistol was useless anyway. It didn’t have a charge.”

“We’ll figure out how to charge it,” She said, “It shouldn’t be too hard.”

Afterwards, she smiled at him, and said, “You were right to break in here, it was worthwhile. The technology here is… God, so cool! We can do some good work.”

The two of them were the most excited in the bunch. The rest of the ladies didn’t understand a word they said, they were even worried, to some degree, as they feared that their ’head injuries’ from a few days ago was making them go insane. Too many gibberish words spouted out of their mouths, it was concerning, but they didn’t say anything.

Eni wanted to tease them, but she was recently taught that she shouldn’t call her boyfriend stupid. Not often, at least, so she was quiet, and they kept walking.

At some point, they made it at the top of the staircase. Other than Mika, the rest of them were struggling to catch their breath. Their knees burned like hellfire, their glutes were barking, and they were overall tired. A one-thousand foot long staircase was no joke, it nearly took them an hour to get up here.

“Come on, show me the way,” Mika demanded, “I wanna see my parents!”

Mika wasn’t tired. Either her excitement fueled her, or she was stronger than her big muscles portrayed. She was a tank, through and through, and anyone would hate to be her enemy. She was a warrior.

The team figured that she’d struggle to squeeze through the hole in the steel door, but that was not the case. She leaped through it like an olympic gymnast, and slipped through without even touching the door. She rolled across the dirt ground on the other side, and was up on her feet a second later.

“God damn!” Jimmy exclaimed, and when he noticed Anna glaring at him, he said, “She used to be even bigger, if you believe that? I got rid of some of her muscles before I freed her, but you saw that, right? Even after a downgrade she’s still athletic as fuck! It’s impressive, you have to admit.”

“I guess,” Anna said.

Then she jumped through the hole in the door in virtually the same way. She had Dinosaur Strength, after all, so she was no stranger to jumping.

Mika helped Nechi and Eni climb out afterwards. The two of them were a lot smaller, and they were weighed down by their feminine features, so she had to help them. Eni’s clothes were almost ripped off earlier on, because her breasts kept hitting the bottom of the hole.

Mika then grabbed Jimmy behind the neck, and lifted him out of the hole. He was embarrassed to be lifted like that, with one hand, even, and it didn’t help him feel any better when he heard his girlfriends giggling, but he had to bite the bullet on this one. He may have appreciated Mika’s ’athleticism’ a bit too flagrantly a moment ago.

Anyway, once the ladies lit the torches they dropped here, Mika rushed towards the other side of the cave, and grabbed the large, fur blanket that Jimmy and his girlfriends had slept in last night.

She put it around her body like a cloak, and it covered her quite well. The only body parts that were exposed to the elements now, were her feet from the knee and down.

“You gotta find me some clothes, Eni,” She expressed, “I can’t meet my parents like this. How am I supposed to hug them? I’ll be naked as soon as I try to hug them, do you know how embarrassing that’s gonna be for me?”

“My clothes won’t fit you, big mama,” Eni said, “But let me see what I can do.”
