A few days later a cargo ship was passing by and it dropped off several containers. Everyone brought them inside and set them down.

Aria: What is this about Pure?

Pure: It's something that we do every year for the people on this earth, Seth can fill you in on what Christmas is and what it is about, also, this will help show the people that you all are not a threat and we can work together.

Roel: Sounds like a good idea.

Alisha: We will teach you how to wrap and make a few things to help.

Horatio: Also, we got a lot of food to prepare but that is when the supplies come in for that.

Pure: For now, everyone grab some wrapping paper and split up.

Everyone split up in the main hall and started wrapping gifts, there were various things from clothes to toys, trinkets to essentials. Everyone was wrapping them to how they were going and what size since everyone was different sizes, even the succubus girls were helping.

Everyone was enjoying themselves a little, playing with the wrapping paper, assisting each other with the tape and working together, when a present was finished Pure and Alisha used their tails and placed it into a trailer so Trinity's Train can haul it when it is ready.

While they were wrapping up presents, a breach happened.

Seth: Pure, the Sphinx king is coming, he is using the com. we gave him.

Pure: Go ahead Sphinx King.

Sphinx King: Some of the hidden council want to bring some of their own to the fort to see if it is safe to come out of hiding.

Vile: I got them.

Vile got up and headed to the particle accelerator.

Pure: Vile is on his way, shut down the portal.

Seth shut down the portal while Vile was making his way to the Sphinx king and the newcomers. When Vile got there, he touched down and let them get on, it was two Onis, two normal foxes and two griffons, the griffons bodies are like the triplets but they have a third gene in them but that one varies on what the griffon's partner is.

All of them got on and Vile flew back to the fort, then he got there, the team was waiting on him. They all got off and Vile turned back to smaller hybrid mode.

All of them came forward but were scared at the same time; Pure threw over some collars so that they could talk.

Pure: Welcome to the Destiny Fort, we are glad you could come here.

Normal Fox: We thank you for ending the hold evil had on our worlds, we came here as a chance for our kind to come out of hiding.

Pure: Well, you can stay here and socialize with everyone here, we also have accommodations to all of you.

Oni: All of us?

Roel: All of you.

Onis are fifteen to twenty feet in height maximum, they never go over twenty feet and their skin has a shade of red in them along with their normal skin. It was both a male and female there from each species so that everyone was on the same page, while everyone was talking Mekuboto smelled something familiar.

Mekuboto came forward and continued sniffing and came to one of the Onis, each of them had a bag that their things were in and Mekuboto smelled something coming from the girl Oni.

Elysium: What is it Mekuboto?

Mekuboto points to the Oni's bag.

Elysium: What do you smell?

Mekuboto: Someone... like... me.

Everyone looks at the oni.

Pure: What did you do?

The girl oni put down her bag and took out a small bag; she set it down on the floor and tapped it twice. The bag started to rustle and everyone else stood back and was out with their weapons but didn't fire. The bag undid a little and four heads popped out of the bag, not just anybody, four yetis.

Sphinx King: Ok, wasn't looking for that.

Mekuboto helped them out of the bag and all four of them came out. Since Mekuboto was frozen in ice and skipped ahead a couple thousand years, the body structure between her and them is that they don't have the big arms and legs were normal but they still had the fur like Mekuboto.

All four of them got up and they looked at each other, they could see the differences in each other's bodies. Pure brought over collars so that they could talk.

Pure: What brings you four here, I thought your kind doesn't socialize.

Yeti: We snuck out of our village and made our way down the mountain, the oni here saw us but we couldn't talk because of our language difference but she knew where we wanted to go. She put us in a blanket and her bag so that we could get here without a problem.

Jones: Isn't that going to cause alarm to their village.

Sphinx King: I'll send a message to them.

Yeti girl: But we want to come here and actually see the hero Mekuboto.

Mekuboto was puzzled.

Mekuboto: Hero...?

Yeti: You were the one who freed our people thousands of years ago and now we live in the mountains where no one can get us but since we heard of the alliance and what we can all do together from the merchants that know how to get to us and are friendly with us to keep things going.

Yeti Girl: But we wanted to come here ourselves to officially meet you and the first good Fox Spirit in thousands of years,

Pure came forward and they looked at each other.

Pure: Welcome to the alliance.

Pure reached out his hand and they were scared a little.

Pure: It's ok, I won't hurt you.

One of the yetis reached out their hand carefully and shook it.

Pure: Come in, we have warm food and clothes for all of you.

All of them came inside and was cleared from security, all four of the yetis were following Mekuboto curiously as to what she was wearing and what she had on. Mekuboto took off her hoodie and unzipped her coat a little, she went to Elysium and sat down on his lap.

Yeti: Who is that?

Avi: That is Elysium, technically speaking, that is her master.

Yeti girl: Master?

Avi: Don't forget, she is thousands of years old, the set she has on makes her strength and longevity permanent.

Yeti: So if that is the case, does she take care of her good enough?

Avi: Their bond is on a whole new level; don't bother putting a wedge between those two because they are real heavy hitters.

They look at Elysium and Mekuboto sitting down and keeping each other company.

Yeti: So, what is Elysium exactly?

Avi: Elysium is what they call an AI, Artificial Intelligence, they work the same way as us but they are more precise than us in some areas.

Yeti: So is that why he has six orbs around him?

Avi: Pretty much.

Yeti Girl: Most we have ever seen are three being used by a mage.

Avi: Yeah, that usually is the limit.

Yeti: So what is with these collars around our necks exactly?

Avi: They help translate what you are saying into a language that everyone can understand and speak through. It's easier so that everyone can talk on the same page.

Yeti: Ok, what about everything else we have been hearing of?

Avi: Such as?

Yeti: Bonds, relationships, children, new possibilities.

Avi: All of it is true, take a look around you.

All four yetis looked around and saw different types of people talking, working and being together, while wrapping up more presents.

Yeti: I don't see the children.

Avi: They are in their nursery right now, you can split up and talk to anyone you want. Don't be afraid.

All four of them split up and went different directions, one of them stood with Mekuboto and Elysium, Mekuboto was lying down on Elysium and she was rubbing her head gently while he was reading a spell book. There were some drinks and snacks they were eating while they were together.

Yeti: Elysium is it?

Elysium: Yes?

Yeti: Do you really protect her?

Elysium: I protect her and she protects me, we make sure no one is harmed while we are around.

Yeti: I noticed she doesn't have a collar on, why?

Elysium: She is starting to pick up on the language but she is learning slow and her own pace. She has to get used to talking but we will help her.

Yeti: What about the clothes she has on?

Elysium: Those are clothes she got from here that she likes, you can get some too if you want.

Yeti: Where are they?

Elysium: Follow us.

Mekuboto gets up and that allowed Elysium to get up, Mekuboto was walking on all fours next to Elysium.

Yeti: Uh, why does...?

Elysium: Don't forget, thousands of years and she likes to walk either way, it doesn't matter to her.

Yeti: Oh

They headed to the clothes room to get a change of clothes; meanwhile the other boy yeti went to Silver.

Yeti: Hi.

Silver: Hi there.

Yeti: What are you doing?

Silver: Reading.

Yeti: What about?

Silver: More about this place.

The Yeti looks over her shoulder.

Yeti: What is that?

Silver: It's a tablet; it's how they read things, its technology.

Yeti: I thought technology is forbidden.

Silver: Not here and it helps more than you think.

They yeti boy felt something off about her; he sat down next to her to get some answers.

Yeti: Is something wrong?

Silver: Huh?

Yeti: You look stressed out and that reading is not helping much.

Silver: I guess you have a knack for reading people?

Yeti: I write so I got to think up personalities and yours is telling me you are on edge about something.

Silver: You guessed right, what's your name?

Yeti: It's Josh.

Josh has a cute medium nose piercing and an "X" tattoo a bit below his eye.

Josh: So what has you stressed?

Silver: A wolf named Sora I'm trying to keep in line but it's not working out so well, I asked to let Pure relieve him from me.

Josh: Is he going to relieve you?

Silver: He told me he is and he is taking him off the teams.

Josh: To help?

Silver: Off of emergencies.

Josh: Ok, do you want me to help you?

Silver: Huh?

Josh: We know how to take care of ourselves in the snow by knowing about muscle and bone to keep our strength up; I could help by relieving some of the stress in your body.

Silver: Do I have to take off my shirt or something?

Josh: Just turn your back to me and lift up your shirt.

Silver looks at him funny.

Josh: Promise not to do anything bad.

Silver turns around and pulls up her shirt to reveal her back. Josh carefully put his hands on her back and started to massage her back carefully.

Josh: Where do you keep your stress?

Silver: My lower back.

Josh focuses on her lower back and was massaging it carefully, with the way he was massaging her, he was getting rid of any tension she had and she could feel it just going away. She started to lean forward and let him continue with the massage, he could hear her purring while he was massaging. Silver laid down on the bench and Josh came to the side and kept massaging her.

Silver liked Josh massaging her back; it was a long time since she got any kind of relief from dealing with Sora all the time, Josh kept focusing on her back and tail a little but made sure not to go anywhere she didn't like.

Josh: There we go, now stretch.

Silver got up and stretched, she felt a bone crack but that was everything lining back into place. After that she breathed a massive sigh of relief.

Silver: -sighs- I haven't felt that good in a long time.

Josh: Glad to be of assistance.

Josh was walking away but Silver grabbed him.

Silver: Come with me.

Josh: Huh.

Silver gets up and walks away, Josh was curious as to what is going on.

Josh: What is that about?

Horatio: Don't look at us; this is the first time she is doing anything like this.

Maud: Just go!

Josh gets up and goes after Silver; he follows her to the spa room.

Josh: What are we doing here?

Silver: Listen, I don't usually do this but, I need some way of getting the steam out of my system and reading is not helping much.

Josh: So, what do you want me to do?

Silver: I want you to get all of the tension out of me.

Josh was confused as to why Silver asked this.

Josh: Uh, why?

Silver: Please.

Josh looked at Silver and she looked like she was desperate, Josh thought about it.

Josh: You know I would have to twist and stretch a few things right?

Silver: Just do it but don't go anywhere personal.

Josh puts his hands up.

Josh: Not even thinking it but you might need to lose most of your clothing so I can get to some key points.

Silver: How much?

Josh: Just your normal clothes and the armor, nothing else, are there any oils or fragrances here?

Silver: I think they are in that display case, be right back.

Silver went to the changing room to take off her clothes so that Josh can help relieve the stress in her body. She came back out with a towel on but her underwear underneath. Josh was busy smelling the oils and fragrances and did a mix he recognizes.

Silver: Are you ready?

Josh: Almost, just getting this mix right to help you better.

Once Josh was finished he came over to Silver.

Josh: Ok, you ready?

Silver: Yes.

Silver took off the towel and Josh took a deep breath, he put the mixture on his hands and started to massage Silver, he lifted her up and brought her to a table where he can easily work. He started to work on her body carefully to release all tension and stress in her body.

Silver was feeling the release Josh was giving her, Josh felt all of her body to figure out what needed fixing.

Josh: Ok, this might get uncomfortable but this will work.

Silver: Go ahead.

Josh climbed up on the table, he stooped down and grabbed her left arm, he started to twist and pull certain areas of it and she could hear her bones cracking a little but they were not broken, he worked on her four limbs first and all four of them were released of tension.

Then Josh lifted her up carefully and started to twist and turn her body to get the stress out. Both of them could hear the muscle and bone being moved but not broken, Silver could feel them moving and being put back into place.

Silver: -grunts-

Josh: Easy, easy, don't strain yourself; just let me do the work.

Josh continued until he snapped her final muscle back into place and she felt massive relief, Josh placed her back down and did one final move. Josh used his strength and it was like Silver was being pulled apart but in fact he was resetting her back. Once he heard a crack, he set her down comfortably and let her relax.

Josh: No wonder you asked for my help, you had a lot of tension in your body.

Silver: -sighs- Thanks for getting rid of it.

Josh: You should rest now; after you sleep you should be fully recovered and ready to tackle anything. Where's your room?

Silver: I'll show you.

Josh: No, don't get up, it will offset things again.

Josh carefully lifted her up and gently wrapped her in the towel. Silver showed him where her room is. The room opened the room and pointed to which bed was hers. Josh undid the towel and set her down in the bed gently and pulled the sheets up on her.

Josh: Rest now, the oil will restore you.

Silver: -sighs- Thank you, Josh.

Silver drifted off to sleep and Josh left her in peace, he headed back to the main hall where everyone had just finished wrapping up a set of presents and was putting them away.

Josh: Done.

Pure: What did you do?

Josh: Got the stress out of her body, she was really tense from what she told me.

Pure: How did you do that?

Yeti Girl: Each of us learn how to take care of our bodies by learning how muscle and bone works. It allows us to be able to get around the mountains easily despite how we look but we still have the strength like Mekuboto does.

Elysium: Does she have to get the stress out?

Josh: I think not, not with the set she has on made her strength stay the same place and restore her body back to her best state.

Pure: Need something after dealing with Silver?

Josh: What do you have?

Josh went to get something to eat after dealing with Silver, in which she was sleeping like a baby over with the Onis they were talking with everyone else but they had to sit down to talk better.

Irvine: So, how did you guys hide from all of us this whole time?

Oni: We hide in forests that are enchanted and mountains that are deep enough to house us. You all won't be able to find us easily unless we let you.

Nick pulls out the map he had from the monster dimension.

Nick: So where were you two?

The oni leans down and looks at the map.

Oni: We were here.

The Oni was pointing to the Brazilian Jungle.

Razor: Wait a minute, didn't we pass there? That's before the volcano and after the Anaconda village

Jones: Let me see that.

Jones looked at the map and goes back through his database of how they travelled.

Jones: We passed right next to it.

Penny: That enchantment on that village must be pretty strong.

Girl Oni: It hides everything unless you are out of the area or find the entrance to come in our village which would reveal itself to only that person.

Lexa: Wait, so if you used that to hide, what did the griffons use?

Griffon: Same thing but we use the mountains that the harpies don't use and is shrouded in mist.

Sandra: So you all grow food?

Fox boy: Yes, the merchants that know of our locations come to supply us.

Horatio: Wait a minute, how do they know where to go?

Oni girl: The secret is passed from friendly merchant to friendly merchant over the decades. They supply all of the hidden villages and they get some rare things you can't get normally.

Jessica: Wait a minute, you also store rare artifacts?

Oni: We keep the more dangerous ones hidden and a few all-powerful ones safe from harm.

Wilco: So that's why we never found any on our journey, they are all with the hidden villages.

Oni: Exactly, only heroic ones we leave alone or in buildings locked away for evil to not use them.

Captain Harley: So that is why that building is there, near the centaur village.

Oni: The hidden council built them and gave a village nearby to protect so we don't have to get involved.

Jack: What about the obvious stuff, water and space, don't you run out?

Fox Boy: The mages we have expand the space if needed and we always have water with a rain spell the mage always has or we have a stream nearby.

Pure: Looks like they got all the bases covered but we have to cover those bases here, when you all are done, let's get you all sorted out with rooms, diets and clothing.

Elysium: Speaking of which, Leo should be done picking through what was in the clothes room.

Just then, Leo came in with a different set of clothes, he was wearing a coat like Mekuboto but he was wearing a long pants instead of a short pants since his body was able to get in one. He didn't have the armor underneath but rather a shirt.

Leo: I liked Mekuboto's style of clothing so; I decided to go with it.

Pure: You look good.

Leo: Thanks.

Pure let them talk with the others until they were ready to see their room. They went with Pure and they had picked out their choice of clothing they liked and asked for some to be made into their size with Arachnid's help. Pure showed them some rooms they could stay in.

Pure: Ok, since this is short notice we have to adjust things to be able to be comfortable to you all.

Yeti girl: How?

Pure: How you all sleep, temperature, comfort and if you need anything special.

Yeti: Well, someplace warm and comfortable for us.

Oni: A little bit cool for us.

Griffons: We use a nest like the harpies.

Fox Boy: Cool and comfortable for us too.

Pure: Ok, this way and do some of you sleep in separate rooms?

Oni: We do.

Leo: We are fine with sharing.

Fox girl: Us too.

Griffon: Same room, different nests.

Pure: Ok, let's get you all sorted out.

Pure called for the items they needed to rest properly, everyone came over and helped them, it took some time but they were set up.

Pure: All right, try them out.

All of them tried out their rooms and a few adjustments.

Pure: All good?

Oni: Yeah, we are good.

Pure: All right, come to the main hall if you need anything.

Fox girl: Ok, thank you.

Pure left them to get comfortable with their new rooms, Pure headed to the main hall where the Sphinx King was.

Pure: Think they are going to let those four stay here?

Sphinx King: After what Josh did for Silver, I'd keep them here.

Pure: With everyone's knowledge coming together we can achieve way more than what we originally realize.

Sphinx King: Agreed.

Pure: How is everything on that side?

Sphinx King: Quiet for now but we have been hearing rumors that thieves will be back on the rise soon since there is nothing stopping them anymore.

Pure: True, did they increase defenses over there?

Sphinx King: We did and everything is holding for now, we have already the location for the fort in our dimension ready.

Pure calls over the com.

Pure: Harley, are you still upgrading your ship?

Captain Harley: We sorted out the design for the ship will be building it when everything picks back up.

Pure: All right.

Pure hangs up.

Pure: Once we got everything repaired we can start construction and upgrade of the forts.

Sphinx King: All of us will be protected and have the protection of all worlds.

Pure: Agreed, now, we have some armor and clothing for then to use which has been enchanted through the book Elysium found.

Sphinx King: I can bring more enchantment books to give more variation.

Pure: That could help, when everything is said and done here, they can head back and keep protecting their side of the board. The AI dimension will be mostly patrols but the monster dimension is where the action will be, we will be ready when we come out of winter,

Sphinx King: That's good; I'm heading back through the portal.

Pure: Seth will fire it up when you get close.

Pure called for a drone and the Sphinx King got in and took off, when it reached the particle accelerator, the Sphinx King got out and Seth activated the portal, the Sphinx King went through, once he came through he signaled he got back ok and the portal was closed. Pure went back to the main hall to check on things.

Pure: How is everything?

Alisha: Almost done, just wrapping up the small things.

Pure: Good, alright let's get this place ready for Christmas.

Seth: Also, the pod room is ready for humanization; a set can go in now.

Pure: Who's going next?

Jones: We should head in next.

Seth: Also with some from the AI dimension.

Pure: Let's go guys.

Some of the AIs went with Pure to be humanized, once they were set everyone else helped around and was getting ready for Christmas.
