Chapter 190: Zinnia In Her New Home?

Happy to see Zinnia, Tyler and the girls welcomed her over and she hopped in the ridiculously large bed. Every time they were all together, which was now only two days a week with the current amount of people and the rotation, unless someone gave their night up, which was incredibly rare, they were all grateful Tyler bought the silly thing. There was no way 6 of them were fitting into a King size, so the obnoxiously large mattress was the perfect item.

Kass still wasn’t completely thrilled the enemy was sleeping with them, but she knew she hid a lot from Tyler to begin their relationship and completely slacked off in fear of being not good enough, so she was willing to give her a chance. That made it a lot easier for Amanda to hop on board. Since Sophie and Nyxara were already all about it, Tyler just let his natural attraction to her take over knowing that Asura’s blessing meant nothing was forced, it was just amplified.

’Well, if we hated each other and had the blessing, it would have the opposite effect, so I don’t see why I shouldn’t trust her after earlier today,’ Tyler thought as Kass made room for Zinnia.

"That’s exactly how it works champ," Ash playfully chirped.

"He’s right. Anything mom and dad do are for a reason. So if they gave her the blessing and Isis talked to her alone, there’s something more to the story," Ritsu snickered. "Plus she’s a hot woman."

"Yes she is," Vivian laughed. "You’ve already had some fun with her but you two are going to get freaky!"

Maximus laughed at his wife’s joke, "Because him and the others don’t already do kinky stuff. Keep it up Tyler! The more fun you have the more fun I have!"

"Shut it jerks! Not all of us are getting laid right now," Alexandria laughed. "That includes you Isis, I know you love running back to Osiris."

She laughed, "Guilty."

"Does Tyler always look like he’s in a full conversation with someone else when we’re around? Shouldn’t he be paying attention to us?" Zinnia laughed.

"He can’t help it and it’s cute how much he loves his familiars. Imagine having 12 people in you that you could talk to at any time!" Amanda laughed.

"Wait, that just gave me an idea," Tyler grinned. "I could use Ritsu in any form and she could walk through any slum and no one would have a clue!"

"Ooooooh! That’s smart. Zinnia, where is a problem area for you that could be solved by one of us or Tyler killing someone?" Nyxara smirked. "If you gave Ritsu the location, she could sneak into that office and Tyler would know where one of us should teleport. With his ability from Vox to move realms, it would be a clean, easy strike."

"But then I’d be failing because one of the light purples got killed. This can’t be the only city the organization is in. I don’t even know what’s above me. I was just given this promotion and a cell phone with 3 contacts. I haven’t even been given the other 2 slum leaders info yet and I’m supposed to run the entire thing. I think I’m being monitored on a trial or something," Zinnia shrugged.

"Then we fight." Tyler grinned. "You have to seriously injure me to the point where it looks believable and I’ll phase away."

"But then you’ll look weak to the Necrams and maybe they won’t hold back like they are. You were able to infiltrate their base and get away from their general. How would Zinnia know that someone got into Mojo’s base and killed him? Let’s be smart about this, I like your plan but we have to protect both of your images. How do we do that?" Sophie thought while tapping her chin.

"How long can Ritsu hold the form for?" Zinnia asked directly.

"About 3 hours maybe? I’m not exactly sure now that you’re limitless and spirit is so high, but if I’m doing someone completely random, maybe it’d be best if I got a black and purple mask from someone in the hideout, got rid of them, then found Mojo’s base wearing a mask. That way when he’s found dead, no one knows it was you Tyler."

"We stage it to look like one of his recruits did it," Sophie said before Tyler could answer.

Sophie was always the one with the uncanny intuition and logical strategy. This made everyone but Zinnia comfortable with the plan, but when Tyler agreed with her, Zinnia got on board with it.

"There’s no way they can trace this back to me if I’m in the slums when everything happens. I’m just worried they have an eye on my hideout." she said with a faint smile.

Tyler could notice she looked nervous. "Maybe you should go back. Listen, I’d love for you to stay with us and you came back like you said you would. That’s good enough for me, what do you think ladies?"

"I agree." Kass was the first to answer quickly. "You coming back and snuggling with us and talking about it shows you are willing to try. We have to protect you. I can’t learn the truth if you’re dead."

"Yeah you should go back, Zinnia. Who knows what creeps are stalking you. If you’re only gone for like an hour like you have been, it’s not a big deal, right?" Amanda mentioned.

"Do any of you sense she was followed?" Tyler asked his familiars.

They all scanned the room.

"No and I don’t care what level of power they have, if Ash doesn’t sense it, there’s no way." Ritsu said calmly.

"There’s no one else here. Let me hop out." Ash said before appearing in his Eidolon form.

"Woah, is that Ash?" Zinnia said with a large smile.

"It is. You were not followed and I’ll accompany you back. That way I can check your room for any traps, microphones or cameras."

Ritsu appeared. "The hell you will. Everyone knows what you look like. I’ll go, I can do the same, I’ll just clone Zinnia and go back first."

"Oh, that’s right, the livestream," Tyler frowned. "Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to reveal all of you."

"Stop second guessing yourself babe," Sophie frowned. "The Necrams declined your one vs one challenge which means they understand how powerful you and your Eidolons are."

"They also understand how powerful we are," Nyxara smirked. "They haven’t touched the vampire kingdom and I know they have access to the wedding files. If they haven’t messed with the vampires, they are aware of how powerful we are, which is why they’re targeting Vespa and probably other cities."

"So Ritsu is going to go back as me?" Zinnia gasped. "What if they can tell?"

"They won’t. My shapeshifting is flawless. I’ll go in, sweep your new hideout and get out. I know where it is because you showed Tyler, remember? If there’s something monitoring you, you’d probably already be dead." Ritsu smiled.

"Are all of his female Eidolons like these unreal gorgeous beings? You have four tails, are you a kitsune?"

"I am, how do you know?" Ritsu asked while changing into Zinnia.

She was a perfect replica, demon eyes and all.

"Folklore amongst the demon people. They spoke of a 9 tailed fox of great beauty that was supposedly a powerful trickster with unmatched power," Zinnia explained.

"Hey I know that story too," Kass said while scratching her head. "I don’t know why I never put the two and two together, probably because I don’t see her out in her Eidolon form much."

"We’re getting distracted. Go Ritsu, please." Tyler said politely.

Ritsu teleported to Zinnia’s hideout and did a sweep.

She returned to Tyler’s quickly.

"Well?" Tyler asked.
