Day 34

Mood: Relaxed

“So what’s the plan?” Mordecai asked hidden stealthily in the bushes. He wondered if he should’ve taken the role of the ninja rather than the geomancer. It sounded cooler though. Astro smiled at him, they had been devising this plot for a very long time and it was finally coming to fruition. Astro then chuckled, trying to sustain his excitement. Modrecai was indifferent about the plan but seeing Astro being happy made him happy, they had a symbiotic relationship like that. “Well Astro, spill it!” Mordecai said, trying to whisper but he couldn’t control his volume very well.

“Mwahahahaha.” Astro laughed manically. Mordecai told Astro to quiet and Astro stopped laughing but he still maintained a twisted smile. “It is time to begin Operation: Peek on some young ladies!” Astro stood up triumphantly and held out his hand but to what exactly, was questionable. Their goal was to peek on the female warriors while they bathed, the bath provided by Mordecai’s geomancy creating a hot spring, Astro then pitched the idea that the bathing would help their skin recover and be healthy. Then while they bathed, Astro and Mordecai would use the cover of the forest and his magic to stealthily gaze at the young unsuspecting beauties. Astro being the lousy womanizer himself concocted the idea and thought it was flawless, the girls suspected nothing and none of the guys raised an eyebrow to it an actually thought it was a good idea. But however their plan would be swept from under their feet in a way they wouldn’t imagine. “So are you ready for some peeping action?” Astro asked in a dramatic voice, as if he were going to go on an adventure to god knows where.

“Sure.” Mordecai said. Astro started to dig into his pants and then procured a crudely made pair of binoculars. 

“We’re gonna need these if we want a better view.”

“You thought of everything didn’t you.”

“If only I could make a camera.”

“But there will be evidence and we’ll get in major trouble. Guinevere could kick our ass you know, Berserkers are like that you know.” Mordecai started to complain.

“If we did we could play dumb and blame it on someone like Jude, or Dios. Yah Dios could take the fall for it and I could be the damn hero for a change.” Astro gripped the binoculars tight. Mordecai applauded him.

“I always find your theories intriguing.” Mordecai smiled and Astro grinned. Well up I go!” Astro said as he quickly leapt from the ground into the tree. Mordecai who didn’t have his athleticism used his geomancy to make a branch pull him up. Astro began jumping from tree branch to tree branch in search of the perfect hiding place, trying hard not to make a sound. Mordecai earnestly followed his friend in search of the perfect spot. Astro then saw steam rising in between the leaves and realized the girls’ location. 

“Jackpot Mordecai.” Astro said as he took out his binoculars and saw the hot spring Mordecai created for the girls. With his supernatural hearing he heard the giggles of the girls and the conversations. “Oh boy we hit the jackpot.” Astro then went to hug Mordecai who willingly accepted it. “Let’s go down buddy.” Astro said as he jumped down the tree and creeped over to some bushes where he set up his site. He then took out another pair of binoculars and gave it to Mordecai. “I wouldn’t leave you hanging Mordecai, go on look for yourself at Shangri-la.” Astro said as he parted the bushes and gazed down into the spring. There he saw countless girls, though the steam made it hard to see he could manage with his talent as a thief he was able to see beyond the steam. “This is amazing I tell you.” Astro chuckled quietly. Mordecai however found it harder to look with the steam, his eyes weren’t used to it. But in a few minutes his eyes became attuned to it and he kind of enjoyed the guilty pleasure, since he was with Astro.

“I got Jasmine and Katarina at ten o clock.” Mordecai said and Astro peered over wanting to gaze his eyes upon the beauties.

“How sublime, how serene, how beautiful.” Astro said as if they were works of arts, but to any person with a soul they could be seen that way. Astro scanned more and saw Vika and Igrene relaxing together. They giggled more. More and more they enjoyed watching them, it was wrong but they couldn’t help it. They were teenagers, hormonal teenagers, Then they spotted Selena and Jems together laughing and splashing water on each other, Jems on the offensive. “Oh I wish they could splash water on me.” Astro wished and hummed.

“Agreed, totally.” Mordecai nodded his head. “Especially with no clothes on. That’s the best, it’s like heaven.” 

“Heaven you say...” A voice replied in a dark tone.

“Of course.” Mordecai said.

“No doubt.” Astro commented.

“Oh really?” The voice said again, Mordecai and Astro looked at each other and then realized they were not alone. They turned around in sync and took a good look at the figure behind them. In the darkness it looked like a demon from hell but in actuality it was Justice in his armor, which was worse than a demon from hell.

“Justice, it’s not what you think, we’re just keeping an eye on them that’s all.” Astro fidgeted. Justice’s dark aura roared without mercy.

“Yah, come on you wouldn’t hurt us, would you? Come on, be a pal!” Mordecai stuttered and fell back.

“Okay, well then I’ll give you a break.” Justice said, his tone was kind and Astro and Mordecai sighed in relief. Justice’s aura flared again. “You can peep at girls... in HELL!” Justice created two orbs of darkness and slammed them in the two peeping toms’ stomachs and sent them flying into the air past the girls screaming.

“It was smart hiring Justice as our body guard. Lousy perverts.” Jasmine said watching the two guilty guys flying off into the distance.

“Got what they deserved.” Katarina added.

“Thank god Justice is not like that.” Jems said and smiled.

“Yah, he’s so dependable sometimes.” Selena said and they all began to laugh. Justice sighed and walked away, knowing his job was complete though even he had his vices, they weren’t so low and dirty.
