James pressed the Ground Floor button. The door closed and the lift moved. He thought about who it was this time. He thought Lefi was not too worried so he thought it must not be serious. James could not let his guard down with the dark multiverse being a potential threat.
The lift door opened and saw the cave. He could see the light on the other side. Then he saw a monster. The monster had the body of a massive lion with the wide, leathery wings of a dragon. It had an uncannily human-like face, framed by a thick mane. The creature had three rows of sharp teeth. It had a rear, a long, segmented tail. It had sharp claws.
"A Manticore," James remarked. He thought this was on the creature which was around this forest. "You are a nasty one," he added.
The Ultimatrix started flashing. The faceplate popped up. "Scanning new lifeform," the Ultimatrix said. A green beam scanned the cerberus. It scanned from head to toe. The scan finished. "New life form acquired," the Ultimatrix added.The faceplate went back in the watch.
"Interesting," he remarked. He opened the faceplate and saw the silhouette of a small creature with pointy ears. He thought not this one. He turned the faceplate. He saw the silhouette of a large man with large black hair. He was muscular and had a single large horn in his forehead.
At that moment, the Manticore charged toward him. The monster came at full speed.
James slammed the faceplate down. His body was instantly engulfed in a brilliant, pulsating light that illuminated the entire cave. The air crackled with raw energy. Within the surge of radiant light, James's silhouette warped and distorted. His features began to reshape with violent speed. His arms got more muscular. His legs got more muscular. He grew taller. A horn grew from his forehead. As the glow faded, a hulking warrior stood in his place. He wore a suit of heavy plating in lime-green and charcoal-grey. The Ultimatrix symbol was on his chest. He had a massive muscular body. He had pointed ears and the singular black horn coming from his forehead. He had glowing green eyes. "Ram-Page," Ram-Page shouted.
Ram-Page watched as the Manticore charged at him. Its claws were tearing into the ground. He didn't flinch. As it reached him, Ram-Page clenched his fist. He then swung his fist and launched it at the monster. His fist connected squarely with the Manticore's snout with a sickening crack.
The monster was sent spiraling through the air. It crashed into the dirt with a heavy thud and skidded several feet before coming to a halt.
Ram-Page didn't give it a second to recover. He surged forward. Before the beast could right itself, he snatched its tail in a crushing grip.
"You are not getting away," Ram-Page said as he hoisted the massive creature into the air. He swung the Manticore in a wide, powerful arc and smashed it into the stone floor with bone-shattering force. Then he did it again. And again. The ground splintered under the repeated impacts.
The Manticore was broken. There was blood leaking from its mangled maw. It pooled on the floor. His mane was ruined. It let out a weak, wet wheeze, completely overwhelmed by the Ogre's raw power.
Ram-Page threw the Manticore against the wall. The stone shattered on impact. The Manticore spat a glob of thick blood and slumped down. He was dazed.
Ram-Page charged. He swung a massive fist, but the Manticore scrambled out of the way at the last second. The beast jumped back as Ram-Page's fist buried itself deep into the rock.
"You're a quick one," Ram-Page smirked as he pulled his fist back from the crater.
The Manticore glared at the Ogre. It whipped its tail upward and fired several jagged shards toward him. Ram-Page smiled and sidestepped the attack with ease.
"You're too slow," he said as he dodged the attack and moved forward. He got closer and hammered a punch into Manticore's face. The beast spat more blood as it went flying backward. The monster was launched out of the cave and into the forest. It skidded through the dirt to a stop. Its maw was a mangled mess of bone and flesh.
"You picked the wrong dungeon to crawl into," Ram-Page said as he cracked his knuckles as he stepped forward.
The Manticore struggled to rise. Its legs were shaking. Ram-Page loomed over it and snatched the beast by the throat. "You're a nasty one," he growled. With a violent surge of strength, he twisted the creature's neck until the bone snapped.
The Manticore went limp instantly. Ram-Page let go of the body and walked back.
At that moment, some of the girls all rushed outside. "James, we are here," Musubi shouted as she ran forward.
"Musubi, you should have stayed behind and protected the others," Tsukiumi remarked as she sprinted behind.
"Danna-sama, we are here to help," Saeko said as she held Slasher in her hand.
"Who are you?" Tsukiumi asked as she looked at the massive creature with a horn. "Where is James?" she asked.
Rei and Jasmine sprinted behind. "You both are really fast," Rei panted as she got out of the cave.
"I could barely keep up," Jasmine said as she panted.
"How are you keeping up," Rei said as she looked at Saeko who was behind Musubi and Tsukiumi.
Saeko looked up and smiled. "You have too much fat," Saeko said as she looked at Rei`s breast.
"So do you," Rei responded back. She looked at the massive creature in front of them. Her eyes went to the Ultimatrix symbol. "James?" Rei questioned.
Ram-Page smiled. "Yes it is me," he replied.
"What. you are a monster?" Tsukiumi questioned as she looked confused.
"My husband is a strong monster," Musubi remarked. "Can you fight me?" she asked in excitement.
"No, he has the ability to transform," Rei replied.
"Yes Danna-sama, can scan monster aliens and creatures and transform into them and their ultimate form," Saeko responded. She looked at the monster who was dead.
"Oh yes," Tsukiumi remarked. She was told about the transformation by him however it was the first time she was seeing it. She looked at him. She could feel power radiating from him. She wondered why he did not use it against her when they first met.
"Musubi, did you see this before?" Tsukiumi questioned.
Musubi put a finger on her chin. "When we first met, he looked a little different, he had a tail and two horns," Musubi replied. "But I forget," she added with a smile on her face. Tsukiumi sighed.
Shizuka sprinted outside the cave. Her large breasts swung left and right. "You left me," Shizuka said as she panted. She ran forward. Her breasts were going right and left. She looked at the Ultimatrax symbol. "James," she said as she ran towards him.
At that moment, Shizuka tripped over a stone and was about to fall. Ram-Page quickly caught her. "Careful," Ram-Page said as he caught her and helped her up.
Shizuka smiled. "You are strong," she said as she moved her hand and touched his muscles. She could feel it was solid. "Very strong," she added. "But I like the fluffy and soft one," she remarked.
"Why are you touching him like that?" Tsukiumi questioned as she saw Shizuka pressing her chest against his body and squeezing his muscle.
Jasmine walked over to Ram-Page. "This is a new one," she said.
Rei walked over and looked at the monster. "It does not look like a zombie," she said.
"It is probably one of the monsters from here," Saeko added.
"It is called a Manticore," Ram-Page said. "They are tough creatures," he added.
"He was?" Musubi asked as he looked at the dead creature.
All of a sudden, they heard a sound coming from the bushes. They all turned their attention. Rei and Jasmine aimed their guns. Saeko held her sword closer to her chest. Musubi and Tsukiumi got into fighting stances. Ram-Page put Shizuka behind him.
Shizuka was behind him and pressed her breasts against his back.
Then, Nell came out from the bushes. "It is me," Nell said as she had her sword in her hand.
"Nell," Jasmine said with a smile on her face.
"Good to see you are back," Rei remarked.
"Who is she?" Tsukiumi asked.
At that moment, the Ultimatrix symbol flashed red. There was a bright light and then James appeared. "My lover," James proudly stated.
"What!" Nell and Tsukiumi shouted at the same time.
Musubi came forward and bowed down. "Pleased to meet you, I am Musubi, James` wife," Musubi introduced herself.
"The honor is mine," Nell replied as she bowed down. "I am Nell, James` lover," she blurted out. "No, I meant," she said as she went red.
Rei sighed. "He is sometimes the worst," she remarked.
Jasmine smiled. "He is a King," she teased.
Tsukiumi looked at James and clenched her fist. Shizuka pressed her breasts against him and smiled.
James smiled. "Lets head back inside," he said. He knew what was coming next.
