Chapter 108 Tear-Jerker

"Well, that is not really what I would call reassuring. You should get a plan in place to deal with them all," Kaite told me like I didn't already know that and then stuck her arms out to the side. "Give me a red Skort and a sports bra with a yellow top!"

I dragged my hand down Katie's chest to create a bra and tight yellow top. Then I slapped her ass, and a red skirt with shorts appeared over her hips as her ass still shook.

"Hey!" Katie growled, but I scooped her up and ran to the edge.

Katie screamed as I leaped far off the side of the dome, clearing the farthest reach of the dome's edge, and started to fall. I rolled, so my back faced the ground as Katie clung to me, still screaming her head off.

Roots burst from me, and I could sense the grass shooting up as we sunk into it, cushioning us before we ever got close to touching the ground. I was pushed back upright, and Katie jumped from my arms and landed like a cat as she panted.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! I should beat your ass for that stunt! God! You are lucky that you have so many other good redeeming points!" Katie yelled at me, and I laughed.

"I am just showing you how it works. You are safe within the forest, so you can get used to using it to your advantage," I said and then had the grass toss me into the air, and I did a flip, landing beside her.

"Making me fall one hundred and fifty feet is not what I needed! I am going to make sure that all the traps are worse! Are you ready for this?!" Katie declared, and I nodded.

"Sure, let's go over to the entrance," I said, pointing to a massive thirty good tall gray arch.

It was made from roots, but there were many entrances inside the area of the arch. There were five floors of doorways with five to eight doors per level.

"What is with all the doors?" Katia asked.

As she did, one of Sofia's clones grew from the ground.

"Each of them is different difficulties; the lower floors are more for the regular folk and are considered safe. You should start on the third floor, but not past the first door. You should get used to your powers before diving into the hard stuff," Sofia explained and then looked at me. "Papi, can you swing by at some point today? There are a number of things that we need to talk about before we make our announcement."

"Yeah, I will stop by in the afternoon. I need to go see Anya after, and I will be busy there for a while, then I can come after that," I explained, and Sofia nodded, sinking back into the ground.

"Woah! Sofia is already really good at controlling her abilities!" Katie exclaimed, and I nodded.

"Yes, she was the first girl to get special abilities from my System, so she is good with what she does. Gaia has also been at her side almost constantly herself, or with a clone to help her with anything she needed," I explained.

"How do you know all of that? You have been running around constantly, so how would you have time to check up on all this stuff?" Katie asked, and I grinned.

"I guess it is kind of strange, but the trees tell everything in feelings almost constantly. Melody is on her monster farm, which has real copies of the creatures that she likes. She is sleeping next to a red dragon right now. Marley is working out right now in my Great Tree where Amy is filling my room bursting with clothing," I explained, and Katie's eyes got huge.

"What?! You can just see us whenever you want?!" Katie asked in shock, but I shook my head.

"I can't see you guys; the trees just give me descriptions of what you are doing. I can see the mental images from what I assume must be happening from the description. I guess you could say that I see you, but not the way that you think," I explained, and Katie sighed.

That is good; not like I really care, but it would be weird if you could just spy on us like that. I wouldn't want you to look in on me when I am trying to take a tear-jerker turd! Protein can really hit you in a bad way sometimes, and if I have to make my own, I might have some rough batches!" Katie giggled, and I burst out laughing.

"That is true, but now I have the mental image of you bracing the stall walls on the toilet with tears pouring down your face trying to go Super Saiyan!" I said, laughing harder.

"No! Now I can see my hair getting long and spikey as a coiler leaks out! What the hell is wrong with us?!" Katie laughed, gasping.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Gah! That was funny! Okay! We got this, I think! Let's collect ourselves and go try the first door on the fourth level!" I cheered, still laughing.

"Wait! Sofia said the third floor! Why are we going to the fourth?!" Katie asked as we walked into the massive arch, and a staircase started to form for us to walk up.

"That was just a suggestion," I said.

"That sounded more like common sense!" Katie yelled but still followed.

"You will be fine, and the place can't be worse than the Villains that I have already fought. I really just want to see how turned up this place is! Come on! You know you like a challenge, right?" I taunted her, and Katie growled.

"It's supposed to be me dragging you into unreasonable situations and challenges!" Katie explained as we reached the fourth level.

"Call it karmic retribution. Regardless, it is time to test out your new backyard!" I said and opened the first door of the fourth level.
