Blessed by Night

"Baby shark, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, baby shark..!"

- 2 Minutes Later

"Row, row, row, your boat, gently down the stream... merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a drea-"

"Umm.. Squad Leader?"

Bianca sat up exhaustedly in the back seat of one of the all-terrain nightfall vehicles and rubbed her eyes.

The vehicle containing herself and five other girls from the base was cruising silently on a ruined road in the dead of night.

"What\'s wrong? Are you guys ready to set up camp?" She asked sleepily.

"No ma\'am..."

"I think we\'re good for a few more hours, but..."

"Is there some particular reason why you keep singing children\'s songs?"

Bianca blinked her eyes a few times before blushing in embarrassment.

"Whoops... guess that just goes to how how much I miss my baby girl. I\'ve never been away from her this long, so maybe I\'m just starting to go a little crazy."

Bianca never thought that she would take to being a mother so well since she had been raised by only her father all her life.

However, the moment Camille was born she felt like she could confidently step into a parental role, even though she had no experience.

Actually... most of them didn\'t have any experience.

The first few weeks were somewhat hard, but with Sei and Nyx acting as suitable teachers for the rest of the girls, they were able to adjust to their new life and even develop a routine schedule.

Honestly the hardest part of being a parent now was making sure that Anna didn\'t teach their baby bad habits like eating cold pizza for breakfast and making sure her first words weren\'t swears.

But still, they were all wonderful mothers.

Bianca sighed with a slightly depressed air as she leaned her head against the back of her seat.

"My fiancé is so lucky... he just gets to pop in for a couple minutes every night to get his cuddle fix but I\'m stuck with just the videos on my phone... and I wanna have sex too."

Nearly every girl in the car blushed furiously as they tried to envision a beautiful, charming young woman like Bianca being pinned down underneath a man like Malachi.

While they weren\'t prejudiced against him for his new looks, it would be a lie if they were to act like they didn\'t make them want to study him like a lab rat.

Her fiancé looked like something from the dark side of pornhub and that surely warranted some study.

It was hard to judge Bianca and the rest of the girls for getting over it so quickly when they probably would have done the same.

And due to the fact that the ratio in the nightfall base was 5 to one in women\'s favor, there weren\'t many other outlets for most women to deal with their lust effectively.

It was no wonder that half the women in the base liked other women.

"Is it shaped like... normal?" one girl questioned.

"And does he like use the mouths of the snakes.. on you guys?"

Bianca didn\'t seem bothered by the invasive questions at all and kicked her feet up as she got ready for her interview.

"Well it doesn\'t look like a human\'s anymore but you get used to it pretty quickly to be honest... and the cute little foursome on his back normally just go to sleep but.. now I have something to try when we reach the rendezvous point!"

The girls suddenly felt like they\'d been forced to eat dog food.

"Umm.. Squad Leader, I know this might be weird but is your dad like... single?" One asked.

Bianca sat up like she couldn\'t believe what she had just heard. "I... What?"

"He\'s really hot."

"After your fiancé, he\'s the most popular man at the base."

"Any tips to win him over or..?"

*BOOOOOM!!*

Just as Bianca\'s world was rocked beyond repair, a large object came hurtling at them from the sky above.

Luckily, the member driving the car was able to swerve to avoid everyone being crushed to death and entered a momentary spin-out.

Though she was slouching and relaxed before, Bianca sat up in the backseat at a moment\'s notice and resumed the mantle of an effective leader.

"Everyone out of the car, now!"

"YES, MA\'AM!"

With everyone getting out of the vehicle in under a second, they spread out in a more spacious formation so that they could not all be brought down at once.

On the ruined street, a horde of abominations had made their home in an abandoned parking garage.

They were pushing old cars right off the side of the railing, and hoping to crush the vehicle and all of it\'s inhabitants.

"Give me my eyes, Kelly!"

One of the girls in the squad had her eyes glow a bright violet color; symbolizing the use of Heimdal\'s blessing.

"Around ten on each floor, sixty altogether!"

"Civies?"

"Negative, hostiles only!"

"Wonderful!" An excited glimmer of light fueled Bianca\'s burning amber eyes as bright orange flames traveled up the length of her arms.

Whether or not she was a lowered or highbreed N\'Kai didn\'t matter much to her, but she loved seeing her body\'s limits and abilities grow every time she shared a bed with her fiancé.

Though it came less from a power hungry standpoint and more of a fascination she had with the actual biological specifications by how such a thing was possible.

And... she got to act out her chunibyo fantasies too.

"Exploooosion!"

Clamping her hands together, a ripple of flame burst outward from the point of impact and formed a wave of destructive flame that grew to one meter, two meters, and then thirty like it was nothing.

A literal tsunami of flame came crashing into the car deck and nearly reduced the entire structure to rubble in an instant.

The building started to fall over with burning bodies of abominations spilling out so as not to be crushed by the rubble, and Bianca turned towards her group with another smile on her face and struck another signature pose and phrase.

"POWERRRRR!!!!"

"Squad leader is so cute."

"Don\'t cha just wanna hug her?"

"Bless her heart."

Bianca suddenly lost her grandiose demeanor as she scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

She couldn\'t tell if she\'d just gained more of her squad\'s respect or if she\'d just lost a bit.

*Rumble*

Suddenly, figures started to crawl out from the rubble of the building.

Some had horribly burned flesh or were even missing an appendage, but they were already trying to heal themselves and rush at the squadron of women for revenge.

And in another building across the street, a few stragglers that weren\'t subjected to the might of Bianca\'s attack started to peel out into the streets one by one.

"Alright, game time ladies! Let\'s wrap this up quick and get back on the road!"

"YES, SQUAD LEADER!"

In a flash, the women of nightfall began laying waste to their attackers and returned piece and quiet to the streets.

Bianca prepared to sit on the hood of their vehicle and relax for just a few moments, but just as she planned on doing so, the ground started to rumble and all of her senses went haywire.

Looking over her shoulder, she found a very large wild beast approaching; mutated and carrying a rider that was nothing short of nightmarish.

"WHORES!!"
