Chapter 18 – Bonding with the Gang
A positively glowing Nuwa arrives on the deck the next morning with Azula who’s smiling but also looks like she could use a bit more sleep.
Ty Li and Mai on the other side of the ship spot something in the distance. They’re curious so Azula tells the captain to head over there.
When the warship approaches, everyone can see it’s some sort of oceanic spiritual nexus with mangrove trees seemingly floating upon the deep sea. There are spirit beasts everywhere. They all run away as the ship approaches though, so Azula orders the captain to keep their distance. One tiny hummingbird spirit bravely approaches and flits around looking at each of you curiously.
Maybe the hummingbird spirit felt a sense of kinship with the high speed jiggles of Ty Li’s breasts, or it was feeling naughty, or it was affected by the Dao ripples coming off Nuwa. The spirit ends up nestling itself in Ty Li’s cleavage, giving everyone an excuse to look at how much it’s jiggling with a hummingbird spirit occasionally flapping its wings from within when the jiggles calm down.
Nuwa starts cracking up, “Sis, aren’t you and your spirit friend a little too compatible!”
Ty Li is super happy to have made a friend, but is also embarrassed by the situation. She’s in a loose blouse with no bra that has the top quarter of her breasts on display, which becomes the top half after the hummingbird’s antics.
She covers her hard nipples and feels the need to go back in and wear a sports bra.
One by one her friend’s attempt to dissuade her because of how fun it is to watch her boobs.
Mai says, “You know, sometimes I forget how depressed I am about Zuko when I see them.”
Ty Li blushes and keeps going.
Azula says, “If we had a boob bounce contest, you would win hands down. You should be proud to be number 1!”
Ty Li blushes deeper and keeps going.
Nuwa says, “One bounce to rule them all, one bounce to find them, one bounce to bring them all, and in the cleavage bind them.”
Ty Li ignores her and keeps going.
Four of the elite guards are doing a funerary gun salute in honor of the soon-to-be no-longer-bouncing boobs.
Ty Li doesn’t get it and keeps going.
Sadboy is kneeling at the door of the deck in full dogeza begging Ty Li not to wear the sports bra. He makes some signs and Ty Li stops and attempts to translate, “You cover, I die?”
Sadboy nods solemnly and places a short sword in front of him ceremonially as if in preparation for seppuku.
Ty Li gives a big sigh, “Fine, I can’t have a new friend of mine dying on me.”
Sadboy gives another full dogeza and picks up his accessories.
The four elite guards look dumbfounded.
‘OH SHIT, THE SIMP DID IT WHEN NO ONE ELSE COULD.’
The four guards make an uproar go over to clap Sadboy on the back but he just brushes them off and makes a helmet-turn of disdain.
‘Wait, was he being serious?’
‘He was really going to kill himself if she wore a sports bra?’
‘What does it mean to be a simp.. what is dignity.. what is faith.. what is a boobies’ place in the universe?’
‘You’re overthinking it! Clearly, it's meant to be milked and fapped to!’
‘If boobies never existed.. what would the point of life be..’
The one elite guard who has never spoken or participated in any of their internal conversations besides saying ‘lol’ and nodding suddenly pitches in, ‘I fear that we will all be simps before the end, boys. I just wanted to let you all know that even though our brotherhood may break, we had our blaze of glory. Our place in browser history is surely immortalized. Queue mic drop Elite guard #1.’
Nuwa looks over at the elite guards and comments, “They always look like they’re having fun. Mai, what do you think about the trip so far? Do you still miss Zuzu?”
Mai looks melancholy for a bit, “I hope he’s recovering well. Maybe I should have stayed to keep him company and support him.”
Nuwa replies, “Nah, with a prideful guy like Zuko, if you support him too much, he’ll feel emasculated. Uncle Iroh might take him on a trip too. Getting out of his father’s shadow would help him grow.
Mai sighs and accepts that Nuwa’s logic prevails over her feelings, “Fine, you’re right. I guess it's nice to learn new things and see other parts of the world.”
Nuwa scootches closer and whispers, “You know if you’re going to be the wife of the future Fire Lord, you’ll have to help him rule, and punish the corruption in his ranks.”
Mai freezes, blushes deeply as she caresses her belly, but still has fiery eyes. “Can you teach me, Nuwa?”
Nuwa looks suspiciously at Mai, “Yes of course, but have you been practicing safe sex?”
Mai freezes again and gets angry at Nuwa’s ignorance when it was all Nuwa’s fault in the first place. She screams, “You chi-blocked him so he couldn’t firebend the sperm, IDIOT.”
Nuwa blanks out and remembers what happened, “Oh yup I did. I didn’t know you could use firebending as contraception, that’s genius.”
“IDIIIIOOT”
“So.. you’re pregnant?”
Everyone in The Gang looks over.
Mai stutters while smiling sweetly, “i-i-I’m not sure, but I can feel it in my heart.”
The Gang and the guards are dumbfounded.
‘Are we supposed to report this to the higher-ups?’
‘Nah this is a scandal, it’s a teen pregnancy. Plus the father’s a Prince. It’ll be our heads on the line.’
‘Can’t I just gossip a little?’
‘Whatever, no one will understand you and if they do, they’ll think you’re trolling. That’s all you are. A troll to be filler in a smutty webnovel. Hah, get rekt son.’
Nuwa breaks the awkward silence, “Emergency meeting in Azula’s room, no boys or sadboys allowed!”
Everyone rushes over to Azula’s room and Nuwa locks the door.
Nuwa says, “Mai go sit on the bed, this is serious! We have to talk about this, we need to make plans!”
Ty Li is so worried at the thought that her bestie may have a difficult childbirth that Hummy the hummingbird feels her mood and finally stops jiggling her breasts.
Ty Li sits on the bed next to Mai and puts her arm around her shoulder protectively for reassurance.
Nuwa solemnly walks over to the bed and Azula also follows, kind of zoned out at the fact that one of her friends that is her age is already pregnant. Azula briefly imagines Nuwa pregnant and feels a flash of extreme jealousy as Monster Azula throws a tantrum in her mind. It doesn’t affect her physically as much as the other day, so she’s thankful for Nuwa’s acceptance.
Mai feels a bit nervous as Nuwa comes up to her very seriously. She’s right to be nervous because the next thing Nuwa does is chi-block Mai and Ty Li’s limbs.
“NUWA?”
“SIS?”
Nuwa starts laughing evilly, “eheheheh.. MUAHAHAHA! You have no idea how turned on I am to know that you’re pregnant! This is it! It’s time for The Gang to truly bond! Azula, come! Strip my sis.”
Nuwa’s face is twisted with lust and satisfaction at having caught the prize.
“Kekekeke, I can’t wait to taste your fresh pregnant vaginal juices, my dearest disciple. You can think of this as an advance payment..”
Mai groans, “Not again..”
