Chapter 113: What All The Fuss Is About

Maxine and I walked back out of the sand pool area and back to our table, but the girls were already gone. Maxine smiled, and we walked over to the place we had taken out MAS off. The girls were already suited up and waiting, some more patiently than others.

"About time you show up! I mean, you guys were pretty fast, so I do feel bad for you, Maxi, but we have these gems just waiting to be eaten!"

Mikota's face was level with mine as she walked upside down. As she stepped, Mikota made a gentle corkscrew turn and righted herself as she walked to stand before me with a big grin. The rest of the girls were coming over, but Kyrina was off to the side, which got me thinking.

What would happen if Kyrina absorbed a crystal? Would it hurt her? I could ask her, so I broke away from the girls and grabbed the four extra Pure gems. 

"Hey, Can you use these? I was thinking about it, and it doesn't make sense why you couldn't benefit from them, right?"

"Umm, I don't know. Let me try one and see. How do the gems work again?"

"Are you sure? Maybe we should get Tama here to bleed the energy if it doesn't work? TAMA!"

"Dave, put your damn suit on first so the girls can start too! These women have been waiting while you have been doing other things." Dresnal scolded me as he walked into the area we were all standing around.

"Alright, Alright, I'm going."

I hadn't even noticed him there; one day, I would get good enough to be able to sense him. Maybe. Dresnal was a giant blue monster, and it would be hard to get close to his power and prowess, even suited. 

I walked over to Diamond Edge and putting my hand on the faceplate. The suit opened, and I turned, backing inside and watching the plates slide closed, sealing me inside. I felt my strength grow and lightness on my feet again.

I called Tama over, and she came with me back to where Kyrina stood waiting. I picked up a crystal and handed it to her while explaining to Tama what I needed to be done if something went wrong. I stepped back as Kyrina held the crystal up to her chest.

Suddenly the crystal was gone, and Kyrina started to glow blue, but she didn't complain. Suddenly I noticed the place where the metal had shown through her skin was filling in with ordinary pink flesh. I looked over at Tama and willed us to a private channel.

/Don't say anything yet until she has absorbed the Choas Gem, okay? I want it to be a surprise for her

//That's a perfect idea! -Tama.

I willed us back to the normal channel and looked around to Kyrina, who was no longer glowing.

"Ready to keep going?"

"Yeah! I feel terrific!" Kyrina said excitedly, and she was about to put her hand up to the healed flesh, so I forced the next crystal on her.

Kyrina's hand stopped just short of her neck, and she brought it back down, taking the next Pure Gem from my hand and repeating the process. Finally, all that was left was the Chaos gem, but I had sent Tama off to do her, but I was sure all the girls we watching us now because I was sure Tama told them. 

Being girls, there was no way they would miss this little moment. I picked up the red gem and handed it over to Kyrina; she took it and looked at me, smiling. The metal was healed entirely over on her neck after the second crystal, so if there were any left, this gem would fix it. 

Kyrina put the red Chaos Gem up to her chest, and it reacted differently this time. Red lines were coming out of the gem and attaching themselves to her body. Kyrina's clothes tore off as her body began to change, but this time it wasn't to a tiger. 

Her form became red and black with bright pink lines. Kyrina now towered over us, having to bend her knee to fit inside the cave. Woah, she looked almost as big as Dragoon, Jills Huge Class MAS. What was going to happen to the rest of us?! 

Kyrina's new form was feminine, and two massive swords like tiger teeth hung on her hips. At that size, they would be daggers; this was incredible, this defied all sense of logic, but I loved it! Who cares if there is more now than was there before?

Abruptly, Kyrina started to change again, getting smaller and changing into her tiger form, but It wasn't the same as before. The silver was replaced by the red and black and the hot pink pinstripes; she was also more than twice her standard size; she would have to lean down to let me up now. For some reason, I got a feeling this must be what it's like for a guy with a tall girlfriend. Like when he has to reach up to kiss her.

Sasha had brought me over a blanket, and I walked over to Kyrina as she changed back. I held up the blanket to hide her, but I didn't wrap her in it. Instead, I stopped and inspect her now perfect and flawless body. Kyrina started to blush but had yet to notice what I had.

"Umm... I know we're married, but it feels like you are inspecting me!"

"Well, maybe you should have a look and see what all the fuss is about."

"The fuss..."

Kyrina's voice cut off when she noticed the healed spot on her arm where bare gears and parts had been before. Suddenly she was inspecting every inch of her body, running her hands over every healed place. I could see the wet drops hitting the sand as she examined herself until she finally looked up at me with tears streaming down her face.

"Come here, beautiful; now you are finally whole!"
