Angel Monarch

Chang's pocket wasn't the best accommodation. It smelled disgusting, reflecting the man's personality. Luckily, Kathy shapeshifted her nose so she couldn't smell anything.

"He probably never washes his pants. Dammit, Bea, couldn't we find a better place to hide?"

Kathy whispered to herself, not expecting to receive any answers from the seed she carried.

"A better place? Where exactly? Every part of this man is nauseating! But you can check if his shoes smell any better! Or maybe that stupid hat!… You can even climb into his underwear!"

A shiver went along the Shapeshifter's small bug-like body. She really wanted to vomit, just from the thought of Chang's nasty underwear. Luckily, she held herself back while trying to stay calm.

"You know, maybe this place ain't so bad… Also, how the hell are you talking? I thought you turned into a seed… Seeds don't have mouths!"

A tiny laughter radiated from the seed, but even after a few seconds, Kathy couldn't find its exact origin.

"Don't ask dumb questions. Instead, answer me this, where are we right now?"

Carefully, Kathy climbed up to the opening and glanced around from Chang's pocket. She had to shapeshift her eyes, since the surroundings were way too dark. However, soon she saw everything clear as day!

They were in an enormous cavern, with tents and makeshift houses set up everywhere. All the soldiers stayed quiet, only conversing while inside their accommodations.

Through holes in the tents' fabric, campfire light escape, providing gentle illumination to the cold cavern. From above, small water droplets fell around Chang while he walked, whistling.

However, as Kathy looked around, she spotted another person walking beside Chang.

A beautiful, pale woman with above average height, silvery-white hair and wearing traditional Asian robe-like clothing. She also carried a strange, gently curving, masterfully carved, long sword.

Kathy instantly recognized the woman, and suddenly she understood how Chang and his underlings appeared out of nowhere.

While the Shapeshifter watched Xinya, the woman stopped in her step. She whipped her head around, glancing over at Chang.

Her dark blue eyes scanned across Chang's body, looking for anything out of the ordinary. When it reached his pants, she instantly saw a tiny movement inside.

Xinya stepped closer to her friend, and without question, plunged her hand deep into Chang's pocket.

"Hey! What–… Xinya, what are you doing! That's a private area! At least by me a drink first!"

The woman didn't care much about Chang's opinion. After a few seconds of searching, she found nothing inside his pocket, only a hole at its bottom.

She glanced Chang over once more, but the feeling of being watched already disappeared. Eventually, she just sighed and began walking once more.

"Your pocket has a hole, and it smells disgusting! Try washing your clothing more often!"

Chang continued complaining about sexual harassment as they walked on, unsuspecting of Bea's and Kathy's infiltration.

The two women managed to escape Xinya's watchful eyes, but not without a heavy price.

When Kathy felt that the woman saw her, she immediately climbed back into Chang's pocket. She then quickly carved a small hole at its bottom and pulled the seed through.

Sadly, Chang wore his pants with the legs tucked into his cowboy boots. So after leaving the pocket, they fell straight into the boots.

"I shouldn't have complained… It's so much worse than I could've imagined!"

Kathy was on the verge of a breakdown, her small bug hands desperately hugging the lone seed for emotional support.

With each step, she felt Chang's full weight crushing her small insect body. It wasn't painful, since her chitin shell easily defended her from any harm. However, it seemed Chang didn't like wearing socks, nor washing his feet.

Even though Kathy had already removed her nose, she still couldn't escape her mind's extensive imagination. She literally felt the vile smells through her entire body.

Time crawled by slowly in the boot. They couldn't even listen to any conversations, or observe the surroundings, which meant they were currently useless.

"Kathy, did you bring the tracker David gave us?" Asked Bea, whispering through the seed somehow.

"And you dare to say I'm asking the stupid questions! This bug form smaller than that fucking tracker! How the hell could've I brought it with me?!"

It took all of Kathy's self-control not to shut. Well, not like it really mattered, since even her loudest shut in this bug form would barely be audible to any human... Also, Chang's foot was great at soundproofing!

The seed chuckled at Kathy's freak out, which for some reason made her feel better.

"Okay then, we need to leave this boot somehow! We need to contact someone, or this infiltration gamble won't matter!… But how the fuck do we leave this shoe without getting noticed?"

Both women turned silent while they tried figuring out a solution. They had to abandon both their trackers and watches, otherwise the infiltration couldn't be possible.

However, succeeding in the infiltration was only a partial solution. They needed to contact Vicky so she could bring reinforcements, or at least help them escape!

"How about I make myself larger quickly? It would catch this Chang dude off guard and I might have a chance to kill him silently!"

Bea shook her head internally, while clicking her nonexistent tongue.

"That might work on this pervert, however, with Xinya nearby, we're fucked! I'll need a few seconds to grow a new body, and she would kill you in less than one!… For now, we wait and see where this boot takes us!"

Kathy harrumphed and mumbled under her breath something about 'seeds don't have a sense of smell'.

With nothing else in their repertoire, they needed to wait and see their opponents' next move.

They felt Chang move along, but eventually, hours later—at least from Kathy's perspective—the disgusting man finally stopped.

Suddenly, they began hearing running water, and the Chang taking off his clothes. He took each off one-by-one, leaving the boots for nearly last.

Kathy felt as Chang's hand grasped the nauseating boot, and with a loud squelching sound, he took his foot out. This time the Shapeshifter couldn't hold her disgust back, and she vomited into the boot, still in her bug form.

After a few seconds, Kathy calmed her mind. Her bug arms grabbed Seed Bea, and she prepared to fly out of the boot. However, at that moment, they both found themselves underwater.

That's exactly when Kathy remembered when Chang stood still, she heard Xinya's words… She asked Chang to wash his clothes…

Luckily, Chang was sloppy with cleaning, so he only tossed the clothes in a large bowl filled with water, then left it unattended.

Kathy, while holding onto Seed Bea, climbed to the water's surface. She tried to be sneaky. However, there was no need. There were quite a few insect corpses floating around lifelessly atop the dark brown water.

"Please, don't tell me this was supposed to be clean water… How can this dude always one up himself!… How can someone live like this! I've seen monsters with better attention to hygiene!"

The Shapeshifter continued cursing Chang, as she silently flew out the room's open door. It led into a larger room with a bath carved into its center. Steam rose around it as the geothermal water cooled on the stone.

Chang laid naked in the bath, while the same dirty brown water spread around him. Even worse, he was obviously touching himself, while moaning 'Missy' repeatedly!

Kathy flew out as fast as she could without getting noticed. She then searched for a secluded area where she took human form.

Slowly, Bea also grew a new body, and now the two women stood face-to-face, obviously traumatized by this incident.

"You know… Let's keep parts of the infiltration secret… Nobody needs to know how we got here…"

Bea heaved a few times while listening to Kathy's words. It wasn't easy to hold back her nausea.

"I–… Yeah… That… Uh… I can't–"

She couldn't hold it any longer, and she finally bent down, vomiting up everything in her stomach.

While controlling a forest, then a seed, she didn't have internal organs, so puking wasn't a problem. However, it seemed her disgust gradually piled up and she couldn't hold it back any longer.

Upon seeing, hearing, and smelling Bea's puke, Kathy also couldn't hold herself back. She bent down a few meters away from Bea and also began vomiting.

It took them a few long minutes to recover. They tried to be as silent as possible, however, a soldier still heard their loud heaving.

The Evolved man rushed into the dark cavern, curious about the sound's origin. He never could've imagined what he would find inside the cavern's subsection.

Two stunning naked women, kneeling on the ground, heaving for fresh air. One was a curvy, dark-skinned beauty, while the other magnificent woman's skin had a tinge of natural green and shine to it!

The man believed he reached heaven, only to soon end up in hell. As the two divine women turned around, they both looked annoyed by his presence.

"Kathy, take him out, but don't draw blood! We need his clothes for a disguise!"

Before the man could've understood Bea's words, the Shapeshifter stepped forward. She reached out quickly, her hand turning metallic and study as she slapped his face.

The man must've been an Evolved or Ascended, since the slap was all they needed to knock him out.

Bea watched as the man fell, then slowly stood up and grew out her usual red dress. Kathy also made a furry coat around her body, which didn't hide her alluring figure.

"You know what comes next, right?" Asked Bea from Kathy, with a cunning, wide grin. The dark-skinned woman gulped with wide eyes, fearing Bea's next words.
