Chapter 117: Interruptions, Not The Kazz

I was about to climb on to Lizy, but I started to hear a commotion, and I looked up. I really didn't want any interruptions right now, but this looked like it could be trouble.

"Uh-oh, this doesn't look good!" Keri whined, and I agreed.

A large number of dark red-skinned Gogs were heading our way, and they had fire burning from their eyes brightly. It looks like I will have to put my fun on hold now, but what did these little creatures think they were going to do?

I didn't bother getting dressed, but I did help Lizy up, who still seemed to be in a bit of a daze. I also changed back to my Earth Force Pact now that I had absorbed all of Firedens; It was looking like I might need to remind Lizy.

She got back up, and Lizy started to look around, almost looking lost for a moment, but then she noticed the women rushing towards us.

"Do these creatures all want to die? I would hate to waste…." Lizy started to say, but then I slapped a large hand down on her rigid tail section.

I moved my hand near her Silk Hole and then reached a hand up to her cheek. There was still some learning that would need to be administered with this one, but that could come later.

"I will talk with them, and then we will get going and get back to Mex's Keep. I have things that need to get done, and I do not want to waste time," I whispered into Lizy's ear as I caressed her cheek and slapped her tail section again, making her wince.

"Umm, yes, Kazz," Lizy said, turning back into the obedient girl from just before, and I smiled and kissed her cheek.

"Good girl," I said and then stepped in front of her, and Keri joined me.

The dark red-skinned Gog Girls were about thirty feet away still, so I looked down at Keri.

"What do you think that they want?" I asked, and Keri shrugged.

"More than likely to try and force you to get rid of Lizy, so I don't think that there will be many problems," Keri explained, and I nodded, starting to walk forward.

I glazed back, and Lizy was still waiting where I had left her, and then I turned and shrunk down. I activated my Water Sphinx Totem, and my mind started to move faster, and I was able to sense Lizy behind me.

Now I concentrated on what I was going to do about these women. While I was sure that Keri was right, I had a feeling that this wasn't going to be that easy when the other girls got a closer look at Keri.

"Are you done having your fun with her? Now what?" The first dark red-skinned female Gog asked me, and the group of about fifty of them approached.

I decided to hold my smart-ass comment back and then summoned Hero before I spoke.

<If they ask you, you will have to decline or figure out some way to take care of them, but I suggest against that.>

Do I need to take them with me if I do? Can't I just do what I did for Keri and then leave them? What do I need to take them with me for?

<...Maybe, but no matter what, they will be drawn to you after. The Rancher System is meant to create a powerful team for you, and the ones that become part of the system are beholden to you.>

Hmmm, that would make things difficult, but maybe I was jumping the gun on this.

<It is a valid question, and there will be times where that might be the best answer. You also have the option of having them become your servants like the demons.>

That was a good point, and I would consider it, but now the girls were starting to look impatient. I was also surprised that none of the orange male Gogs had decided to come and join the rally, but maybe they were on the same page.

"I am going to take her and Keri with me, and then you will all be fine," I said, and another female Gog spoke up.

"What did you do to Keri?" The woman asked me but then turned to Keri. "Why do you look so different now?"

"The Kazz said that he would take care of me, and now I look like this! I know that it is strange, but I like it!" Keri said as she rushed forward into the crowd of women.

Lizy was getting antsy behind me, and I felt the same way, with thoughts of Lidy filling my head. There were also tons of other things I needed to do, the final girl and then dealing with Doa.

"My name is Kazz, not The Kazz, but I want to get going, so I will have to take my leave with the girls now," I said to the group of women, but then they all turned to me as one.

"What about us? You aren't going to take care of us? Only Keri? Why only Keri?" All the women started to ask, and I rolled my eyes.

"And then what about the men? Are you all going to just leave them here? And where am I going to put you all? Mex's Keep is not hot like this, so I don't think that I can take you all," I explained, but then the first red Gog spoke up again.

"You don't need to worry about us, we can make our own heat if you dig us a pit, and we will get the men. They were just too scared to come out," The female explained, but I shook my head no.

"Not this time, I will come back and get you all before I leave the island, but I don't have time for that right now," I said and then looked down directly at Keri, "Let's go."
