Chapter 289: Locked In Part Two

Misaki and the girls flew across the mystic realm in search of a place for Yan and Faarel to become demons. All the while, Misaki was receiving updates on her wives, who were in the middle of escaping the siege they were under.

---

"Is everyone together?" Chiho asked as she looked at everyone. All the girls, their children, Misaki's parents and family, Gen and Sato and their families, and lastly, the demon children with their mothers. 

"I count over one thousand in total that could get here in time. Our people, along with the backup from the machine race, are doing everything they can to hold them off. John and Saddi have opened a portal for us."Misaki Kenji replied.

"Alright, send Sato and Gen through first along with all the children." Chiho yelled out, but no one moved.

One of the demon mothers stepped forward and shook her head. "Madam, we can not go first. You are our goddess's wives. Your safety takes priority over our own. Please go through first with your children. As long as you all are alive, our demon faction will never fall!" 

"Long live our goddess!" "Long live our goddess!" "Long live our goddess!" "Long live our goddess!"

Everyone around them began chanting, causing Chiho to begin to tear up at how willing the people Misaki took under her belt were ready to lay down their lives for them. "Chiho go. I will stay behind and make sure everyone else gets through."

"No, dad, if you get left behind…" Chiho did not want to leave Misaki Kenji behind. This was Misaki's father. Their father. 

"You girls call me dad then fucking listen to what I am saying. Take everyone from the Misaki family and get the fuck through that portal now!" Misaki Kenji yelled. If it were not for the fact that the voice of a little girl yelling in rage sounded more like a temper tantrum than anything, his words would have really held some weight. But even still, Chiho nodded her head and motioned to the other girls. Misaki's kids were led into the portal that looked like a swirling disk of water, the girls following them right after. Chiho watched as Misaki Yuki said goodbye to Kenji and made sure Misaki Yuki and her wives, along with Misaki's sisters, all made it through as well. Then Gen and Sato with their families. She stood there and looked at Misaki Kenji, who smiled back at her and mouthed the word: "Go..." Only then did she tearfully pass through the portal.

"Alright, Mothers and children go through next!" Misaki Kenji yelled out. But soon after, a loud explosion was heard outside as something had slammed into Jin's shield. 

"Sir, it seems the enemy has broken through the last line of defense! My people are doing their best to hold them off." Jin announced.

"Fuck! Jin, what's the damage? Can you hold on?" Misaki Kenji asked. He felt bad because Jin may be an airship, but he was also a living being!

"My shield will only last maybe two more of those attacks. Please get as many as possible through the portal, sir. It has been a pleasure to fight with you." Jin already knew he was not going to live through this. But he would not go down without a fight. 

*Boom!* *Boom!* 

"Sir, shields are down. Please hurry! I can only hold them for so long." Jin announced. 

Misaki Kenji looked at the kids and mothers that were left and sighed. He turned to his men and made a firm decision. "You four make sure they get through. Protect them with your lives. The rest of you are with me. We will hold them off as long as we can. If the portal gets destroyed, try to escape with the kids. If they make it through, disperse and do your best to live another day!!" 

"Yes, sir!" Over five hundred of their soldiers yelled out at the same time. With Misaki Kenji in the lead, he led his men to buy them some time.

Misaki looked at the two black flamed eggs and sat down beside them. She opened her menu to see many of her kin were already dead, each of their names marked in red. She saw her wives and kids seemed to be safe, so were her mother and her sisters, but when she looked at her father's name, it began to flicker before turning red... Tears began to well up in her eyes as she touched his name, bringing up his menu. Next to his name in his status window, it read deceased. 

"Chiho..." Misaki sent a message to Chiho.

"Misaki? What's wrong? Follow Saddi! She will send you to where they are housing us!" Chiho could tell something was up. But before Misaki could answer, she watched as the portal suddenly shut down. She instantly knew what Misaki was about to say. 

"My father has died…. I will break the news to my Mom. Help her hold a funeral." Misaki couldn't keep the tears back anymore and began crying. She did not expect to be this overcome with grief. She pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her head into her knees. She was blaming herself for not being there to protect them…

"I never expected space to be so vast. With so many forms of life. We have been traveling for twenty years now, and we still have not reached the mid-way point." Alicia wished they could move a bit faster, but they were now getting closer to the Death race's domain. So they had to proceed with more caution.

"We will get there. Plus, you just had another child did you not? I am starting to think you and your husband are rabbits. Your castle is filled with your children who are of all ages. You have what fifteen kids now?" Yin Li asked while giggling.

"Li, it is because of that damn husband of mine that I end up pregnant all the time." Alicia said, doing her best to defend herself.

"You know you can wear protection. It is an ancient technique to wrap it up, you know." Yin Li's words made Alicia blush. Alicia had no way to argue what Yin Li had just said.
