Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Chapter 230 Taking Thing Seriously

"Everyone is done tearing hair?" I asked as I stood out of the water, looking at the three women, but then I frowned at Sofia. "Where did Melody go? She said she was going to show Dawn around while I was busy."

"She just dropped this... woman off and then left without saying a damn thing! She thinks that she is so funny!" Sofia said in a huff, and I groaned.

"God help us all," I muttered as I got out of the tub and clothes grew on me. "I am going to go find her before she does something that I have to regret."

I walked out of the bathroom, still shaking my head in disbelief at what had just happened, and then I heard a giggle from down the hall.

"Oh my god, that was so funny!" Melody said as she came into view with Marley trailing behind her, both of them grinning from ear to ear. "I can't believe that they just started fighting like that!"

"Yeah, but with the way that Sofia fought with the trees before this, it was to be expected," Dawn agreed with a chuckle, and I groaned as I rubbed my face tiredly.

"Did you really just drop Dawn off and come back? Do you live to sow discord and chaos?!" I growled and Melody, but she just giggled back at me.

"Nope, but it is a fun side effect," she said with a grin, and I groaned.

"You are lucky that I love you," I muttered as I pulled her into a hug, and she giggled again.

"I know, Daniel, but don't worry. Everything will calm down soon," Melody said in a soothing voice as she rubbed my back gently.

I really hoped that she was right because if this was the new normal, I didn't know how much more I could take. I was supposed to be concentrating on getting ready for my fight with the Restriction System, not dealing with all my women going crazy on the same day. I did at least feel a bit rejuvenated from the soak, even if it had been cut short, but now it was time to duel the girls.

"Marley, come here," I called, and she walked over, and I hugged and kissed her, checking her levels, but her hormones were in check for the most part, so I left them alone. I didn't like messing around with them if I didn't have to, but today was one of those days when I really didn't have the luxury of letting people do what they wanted. I had a serious fight that could mean the end of everyone before the three sisters ever got here.

"Did you just want to give me a hug? Marley asked as she looked up at me with a small smile, her face completely healed now.

"No," I said and then kissed her. "I wanted to do that too. Now go get your best friend so I can give you both a good butt whooping!"

Marley giggled, and then she ran off to get Katie, Sofia, and Dawn as I turned to look at Melody. "You are going to help them, Lady Chaos," I said with a smirk, and she just glared at me.

"Are you sure that is a good idea? I don't know how strong those two are, but I might be a little much, even if you have Dawn. Are you sure you want me to join?" Melody asked as Marley came back with Katie and Dawn.

"I do. Before we start, I will explain what I am going to be going to do after. I think we should call all the girls here," I said as we all started walking out of Katie's house, and a path opened up for us into the Challenger Dome that surrounded Katie's home. It would be big enough for everyone, and the sooner we got this started, the better.

There was a long path that led into a massive open area where I sat down in a chair that formed to wait for the other girls to arrive. I stretched my chair out onto couches as Melody, Katie, and Marley sat on one side and Sofia and Dawn on the other. I had to admit that Sofia and Dawn looked cute beside each other, and I was sure that, in time, they would become good friends like Chelsea and Kitsune.

After about forty minutes, everyone showed up, and I made a circular couch, and everyone sat down, talking with each other. Then Firaga stood up, looking at me.

"While this is nice that you have us all here, what is going on? What is happening?" Firaga asked, and I nodded as I motioned for her to sit. I stood up, looking around at the girls.

"I am about to take on the Restriction System in a fight to see if I can break it. If I win, which I plan on doing," I said with a confident smirk, " then the world will be free from its clutches. If I lose, we all die."

There were gasps all around me as they processed my words, and then pandemonium broke out as they all started talking at once. It took me a few minutes to get them to quiet down enough so that I could explain what was going to happen next. By the time I was done explaining everything, they were all silent as they stared at me in disbelief.

"You are seriously going up against that thing by yourself? Do you even know how strong it is?" Melody asked quietly after a few minutes of silence had passed, and then she sighed when Katie nodded her head in agreement with her question since Katie actually knew more about it than any of us did since she had been dealing with it for longer than anyone else here but Daniel himself. "This isn't some video game where you can just reload your last save point if things go bad! This is real life!"

"Yeah, well," Dawn interjected before Melody could say anything else since Melody looked like she was getting worked up again," but we don't really have much choice here, do we? If we don't get the power back on, then you are not going to have a way to keep people safe when the dragons come. This is why Daniel did the Growth Spurt, but you seem to think that this is some kind of joke, but there is a very good chance that Daniel might die. Have any of you even bothered to see how Daniel is feeling? He is constantly trying to make you all happy, but that is not his job. That is all of yours; Daniel is trying to save the world, so you all have a place to live. I have watched you all, and I know that you all love him, but he is under a lot of stress right now, and he needs your support!"

Dawn's words seemed to hit everyone like a ton of bricks, and they all looked at each other before looking back at me with guilty expressions on their faces. I really didn't like being the center of attention, but it looked like that was going to be my lot in life for a while since everyone seemed to think that everything revolved around me. It was flattering in a way, but it was also very stressful since I didn't want to let anyone down.

"I know that this is hard for all of you," I said after a few minutes had passed and everyone was still just standing there looking at each other with guilty expressions on their faces," But I need you all to trust me. I have been preparing for this day ever since the System first appeared, and I am confident that I can win."

"What if you can't?" Sofia asked quietly from beside me, and Katie and the others nodded their heads in agreement with her question as well, even though she already knew what my answer would be. "I don't want to lose you, Daniel."

Melody spoke up then as she walked over and hugged both Marley and Katie, who were sitting next to her. "We are not going to lose him because he is not going to lose," Melody stated confidently, which made both Marley and Katie's eyes widen slightly in surprise before they nodded their heads in agreement with Melody's statement even though they weren't quite as confident as she sounded.

Everyone cheered at Melody's words except for Sofia, who just crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Melody, who just stuck her tongue out playfully at Sofia before turning around.

"Don't stick out your tongue at me. This is not joking time, and saying something won't make it happen. We all need to be supporting Daniel in this, and I will be up in the tower with Octavia. I have some weapons that we will be able to fire from the ground, but you will have to keep them above us. I have been preparing, so you had all better be waiting for my commands inside the R&D Tree in a clone. Aiko will be waiting to suit you all up so you can help Daniel! Everyone will be doing something, you hear me?!" Sofia snapped after standing up to glare at all the women, and even Melody flinched.

This was one of those times when it was good to have a diverse harem filled with women. At least one of them always seemed to get it, if not all and would step up most of the time.
