In the monster dimension, the team was settled down in their temporary home until the fort there was built, any special equipment like Penny's blood machine was brought along and set up so she wouldn't run out. Keir also came along with Penny as well since they are a couple now.

Some of the team were helping around the city or sparring with each other to get back into shape. Mekuboto and Elysium were sitting on the side as usual with Elysium reading and petting Mekuboto while she held onto him with the dragon set on. Some of the others that stood behind were asking questions of their journey.

AI: So Elysium bonded with that girl named Mekuboto and now they can't be apart?

Kalon: It is best if you don't try anything to separate them; they formed a bond that no one has ever made before.

AI: Did he do something to make his hair white?

Kalon: He asked for his hair to grow naturally white when he got humanized, matches with Mekuboto nicely.

AI: It's a unique choice.

Over with Keir and Penny, they were upside-down talking.

Human: So the vampire thing is actually real now?

Penny: Yup, with their blood and the magic in me made it possible.

Human: Did you do that on purpose or...?

Keir: One of my people bit her by accident and somehow what you described, she became.

Human: Does she have all the pros and cons as we described?

Penny: Most of the pros yes but what we know so far is that I got the thirst and I burn easily in the sun but don't burn into ash.

Human: What about biting someone?

Penny: Haven't tried that yet and don't want to.

Human: So, the Destiny Team sorted you out on blood?

Penny: For the both of us since tasted each other's blood and occasionally feed on each other.

Human: And... how does that feel?

Penny: It was gross at first but it was something special after you get used to it.

Human: Got to experience something in a fantasy?

Penny: You have no idea.

Over with Jones he was training with Razor to get used to handling a heavy weapon since weight wasn't a problem when he was full AI but when he became humanized he got the sense of weight but his installed Exo-suit inside him got rid of most of it but he needs to get used to the rest of it to deal the attack correctly.

Razor: Getting used to the weight yet?

Jones: Getting there, never thought weight would be an issue with fighting.

Razor: Weight is important in everything, knowing how to use it is the thing.

Jones: How about you, you have a lot of weight.

Razor: Weight distribution; know how to spread out your weight throughout your body to get the maximum effect.

Jones: Like a spider in a web

Razor: Exactly, maybe those lessons Captain Harley is giving you can be handy.

Jones: Exactly what I'm thinking. Let's go again.

Razor and Jones kept going to get their groove back, with Cinde and Nick; Cinde was talking to Rumi in her smaller hybrid form and had Nick on her lap.

Rumi: And how did you get this smaller form exactly?

Cinde: The Destiny Team taught me, Vile and the Dragon King to do the same.

Rumi: So do you still work like normal?

Cinde: Yeah, I can fly, breathe fire and transform in this from.

Rumi: What about him, you seem to have him in your lap a lot, what is going on there?

Cinde: Nick and I have decided to start a relationship.

Rumi: Really?

Nick: Yeah.

Rumi: What do you see in him?

Cinde: Even though he is smaller than all of us he has the fire of the dragon inside of him, he shows it through mining and combat.

Rumi: Really?

Cinde: He can wield a massive pickaxe for his size and that axe.

Rumi: How?

Nick stands up, grabs his pickaxe and his axe and throws them in the air, he reaches out his hands and the came back to him.

Rumi: Wow.

Nick sits back down; Cinde grabbed Nick gently and put him on his shoulder.

Rumi: So, how are things going between you two?

Cinde: We are taking it slow so we can get to know each other better.

Rumi: So what is the plan for now?

Nick: Helping around the dimension, doing quests and keeping the peace for the alliance

Rumi: You think I can learn that smaller form?

Cinde: You could but it takes time.

Rumi: Ok, I got some things to do.

Nick: Later.

Cinde: Bye.

Rumi left Nick and Cinde alone.

Nick: So, what are you going to do?

Cinde: Maybe head to the mines, you coming?

Nick: Yeah, I could teach you how to hear for metals.

Cinde: That would be great.

Cinde gets up and Nick holds on as she goes to the mines. Everyone was getting along fine in the monster dimension and it was going to get better because the dryad queen came in her big vine and came to the entrance. The massive flower opened up and six dryads including the carnivorous dryad, they looked like they were packed for a trip.

The team came out to the dryads to greet them. Mekuboto went to the carnivorous dryad and the carnivorous dryad petted Mekuboto.

Elysium: Come to travel to the AI dimension?

The dryad queen nods her head.

Elysium: Let's get you all there and let you get started.

Mekuboto came back to Elysium and latched on. He said a small spell to make a small tornado below his feet to make him hover and travel with the vine. The dryads went back into the vine and Elysium allowed them to follow him to the portal. The AI that maintains the portal started it up and made connections to the normal and AI dimension.

Elysium: This is the monster dimension reporting in.

Rory: Reading you loud and clear.

Seth: What is you status?

Elysium: The six dryads for the AI dimension are here to travel.

Seth: We are also sending some plants from the sanctuary for travel; they are in a trailer ready to travel as well.

A drone was on standby behind them, it opened its cargo hold and the six dryads got in, they waved goodbye and got in.

The drone took into the portal to get to the AI Dimension, while they were going through, they saw the trailer coming right next to them, the trailer slowed down a little and trailed behind the drone, when they came through the drone came to a low hover and used a grappling hook to pull the trailer to Ai City. Once the drone got into range, Rory got control and brought it close to the city.

She directed it to solar sanctuary to make them feel better and have the space they needed to grow the plants they got. When they got to the area, the drone set down and opened its cargo hold. The Six dryads came out ad recognized it was Rory; even the carnivorous dryad recognized her and hugged her.

Rory: Hey, missed you too.

Both of them separate.

Rory: We set you all up here where there is the most sunlight and space for you to grow your forest here, from what we were told there are six trees along with plants you can grow to be your homes. Let's get you all set up.

They went to the trailer and they opened the doors, they were six massive trees there to move.

Rory: I got this part.

Rory stood back and activated her nitrous, which in turn caused her to transform. When she transformed she was her full metal dragon self but couldn't transform into the bigger hybrid mode yet.

A few Spartans came to them and lifted up the trees from in the trailer. Rory went to the side and waited on the dryads; they came over and pointed to where they wanted the trees. She dug a hole for them and the Spartans came and set them down in the holes. They covered them up the roots and let them set.

Once all the trees were set, Rory throttled back and turned back to normal and came back to the dryads.

Rory: There you go, you are all set.

Each of the dryads hugged her and then a hole came from out of nowhere and water flowed in, then Kym came out of the ground.

Kym: Found a set of fresh water under the area, the AIs installed a pump to get it up here.

Rory: Let's help them.

Rory, the Spartans and the Dryads went to the trailer to unpack the plants the Dryad Sanctuary sent. The Spartans dealt with small trees, Rory and the dryads dealt with the small plants and flowers. After a few hours everything was set down from the trailer. There was even a beehive with a queen bee so that pollination could happen.

Rory: Now, the Solar AIs may be curious about what you are doing here, some might even help out.

The carnivorous dryad nodded her head.

Rory: Now, we got to head back, we got food and we got what you all eat, would you like some food.

All of them nodded.

Rory: All right, I'll be back soon.

Rory revved up her engine and it caused her wings to spawn, Kym went back underground and the Spartans went back to the Serpent's Den.

Rory: Can someone prepare some food for the dryads?

V: On it.

Rory: How are we doing on patrols?

Howler: Triple checked all the nearby cities and they are running smoothly.

Kevin: Every single city has been scanning and rescanning the entire planet and the network and everything is at one hundred percent.

Rory: What about the former Origin hive mind?

Raven: I did an overpass and that place is completely melted down.

Extreme AI: We went in using a few Spartans with the metal mix that can resist it.

Rory: What did you find?

Extreme AI: The entire hive mind has been completely destroyed and we found Trojan. It was buried deep in the ground with a hard link to override the Origin AI control.

Rory: What is the status on Trojan?

Extreme AI: We got a shell that Kym uses to go down and we found it completely melted since the hardline made a trail straight to it.

Rory: Anyway for any AI to escape?

Extreme AI: It was ten miles down and was completely isolated, they thought if they failed the hive mind would be safe.

Rory: Did we deny access to the AIs V found?

V: Heard that and we blacklisted them so bad when they try to access anything they will be quarantined, not able to access their body again and will be awaiting trial for deletion.

Rory: It's not known if they escaped or not but it is best if we suggest they haven't.

V: Even hard lining in would lock them out.

Rory: Let's get everything secured and good for all the AIs.

All of them got back to the Serpent's Den and were doing some maintenance. Vile was coming back in and saw the new sanctuary with his Dragon Spartan, he let it detach from him and landed gently, he came back down and turned back into his smaller hybrid form before going in.

When he got there the girls were making tree houses out of the trees there. He came and kneeled down next to the flowers there and smelled them. One of the dryads came over when she was finished with her house and looked at him. She went to him and touched him.

Vile: Oh, hello.

The dryad looks at him curiously.

Vile: Never seen a dragon stop to look at the flowers?

The dryad shakes no.

Vile: Yeah, after dealing with this threat, you need something beautiful to look at.

Vile sits down and the dryad came and sat down on his lap, he was surprised when she sat down but didn't mind.

Vile: What are you called?

The dryad pointed to a white lily.

Vile: Lily?

The dryad nods her head.

Vile: Well Lily, I hope this place will become as great as Dryad Sanctuary.

Lily was hoping so too, then she looked at Vile and then pointed at the plants.

Vile: You are asking if I would come to help?

Lily nods her head.

Vile: I'll come when I'm free; we have to protect this world as well.

Lily felt calmer when he said that, especially when a dragon said they would help. Lily stood there for a while until Vile got a ring on his com.

Rory: Vile, we need you to do a pass of the Lava Caverns.

Vile: I'll get right on that.

Vile looks at Lily.

Vile: I got to go but I'll be back when I can ok?

Lily nodded her head and got up off of Vile, Vile got up and walked away, while he was walking away her turned into his bigger hybrid form and the Spartan came to him and latched on. Once the Spartan formed on Vile, he looked back at her before he took off.

After a while Rory came back with some food for the dryads, five vegetarian ones and one meat meal.

Rory: Food is here.

The dryads came out and Rory shared out the food, they sat down and were eating their food, even the carnivorous one.

Rory: You know, when you get past the sharp teeth, you are kind of cute.

Rory came and rubbed the Carnivorous Dryad's head and she liked it. Just then some of the solar AIs came out and came to them.

Solar AI: We have come to learn from the dryads Rory.

Rory: They still need to learn English and be used to around people; I'll stay here to keep you Girls Company.

Rory and the AIs stood with the dryads to comfort them, back at the den, Howler and Raven were talking and getting to know each other better.

Howler: So what a girl like you used to do?

Raven: Pretty much just live like a normal harpy, I used to be just a normal girl, had a family and sisters and everything was just going fine until I got asked to come to the dimension by the Queen, I was surprised when she asked me and thought she would send one of her soldiers or princesses or something like that.

Howler: So what made her pick you?

Raven: She picked me because she already picked a princess and a guard to go so she picked a few harpies at random to see how it goes. When we all left it was six of us but I didn't know which harpy it was until we realized when the queen got there.

Howler: Couldn't you tell from the gold and white wings?

Raven: We all get a random color when we are born.

Howler: Oh ok.

Raven: What about you?

Howler: Just a wolf in his pack until the Shaman selected me to go since the Prime Alpha was still on his tantrum at the time.

Raven: Oh ok, what did you do?

Howler: Mostly keep watch of the territory, sometimes I just find something from keeping me bored.

Raven: What about now?

Howler: Help protect this world and possibly build something between wolves and harpies.

Raven: Same here.

Raven gets up and sits down on Howler's leg; Howler moves her and puts him down on his lap. Raven puts her wings around Howler's back.

Raven: Want to help me fluff my feathers?

Howler: Why not, we got to wait a while till we go on patrols so we got time to kill

Raven: But I have to ask one thing.

Howler: If I can capture you.

Howler knew what she meant.

Howler: Is it going to be anything bad?

Raven: Promise not to do so.

Howler: Then go ahead.

Raven got up and flew above him; she used her talons and grabbed him by his shoulders. Once they were airborne she took him to his room and set him down in her nest. Howler stood put and let Raven land, once she did she came to him and pushed him down gently, he didn't do anything and just let her push him down.

Raven: You are now captured Howler, you are mine now.

Howler: Good, I don't think I would find a girl like you.

Raven: You won't, there are a few brushes over there.

Howler sees the brushes and gave one to Raven; both of them started brushing each other gently. Over with Cody, Maia was talking to him while he stood in wolf form.

Maia: Feel better?

Cody looked at Maia and nodded at her.

Maia: You don't have to look at the negatives, look at the positives, like me.

Mima pulled Cody up on herself and rested his head on her chest listening to her heartbeat. When he realized what she was doing, he came up further and had his face close to hers.

Maia: Feel my heartbeat, feel yours and feel that you are alive.

Cody got up and transformed back right on top of her.

Cody: What about when we die.

Maia grabs him and kisses him. Cody realizes what she was doing and didn't do anything until she finished.

Maia: Then do what everyone else does, live what life you got left to the fullest.

Cody: But...

Before Cody could even start his sentence Maia silenced him.

Maia: From now on, I don't want you to even speak, think or even let it form in your head. Only the positives, understand.

Cody nodded his head and said nothing.

Maia: Now, turn back to wolf form and lay down on my chest.

Cody turned back and laid down on her chest, listening to her heartbeat, Maia sat back up a little and rubbed his head to keep him in good thoughts. Now that things were being started on the right side in the alliance, things will grow into something beautiful.
