Ascension of the Monster Queen

Nessa didn't know what was going on with Riki or why he was angry, but she knew that there had to be a reason for it since he was not one to let his anger get the best of him and this only happened after he went to interrogate the ones they had captured.

"I don't like that look, you are actually angry this time, what's the matter?" Nessa asked and Riki sighed as she looked at him and the others exchanged glances before turning towards him, wondering what he found out.

"I got the answers that you were looking for but I am not sure it's the one that you want, lady Nessa," He responded and her eyes narrowed as she stared at him.

"It doesn't matter whether it's the one that I want or not, please tell me, what did you find out from them?" She asked.

"I found out just how selfish some people can be, not thinking about the damages they might cause to others, those bastards, they are planning on using the magical roots of those plants to build weapons," He responded with nothing but anger in his eyes and her eyes widened as the others left staring at him in shock.

Nessa's body began glowing slightly blue and Dalia and the others looked at her. It was indeed an answer she wasn't looking for but she was glad she got to know of it.

"What the hell? Who plans on using them as weapons?" She asked as she looked and saw the kids looking at her with smiles on their faces and she sighed before returning her body to normal and looking at Riki while clenching her right fist.

"One problem to the next, I should have known that someone would come up with such a despicable idea, let's talk about what they told you and how you got them to talk, shall we?" She asked and he exhaled deeply before nodding.

"As you wish, lady Nessa," Riki responded.

"I am sorry that you have to keep dealing with problems like these lady Nessa, this is not going to be easy, do you think they will tell you who exactly wants to use those roots as weapons?" Yonja asked and Nessa glanced at him and then smiled.

"All of that is part of being a leader of a great place, yes, there are bad moments but for me, there are way too many good ones and I don't care how many problems I have to deal with, I will, no matter what, I will make sure to keep what's here and don't worry, I will get them to talk and use any means necessary," She responded and Yonja scoffed before smiling.

'I should have known that you would say something like that, it's one of the many things that might make you one of the best leaders," Yonja said and Nessa smiled at him before patting him on the shoulder.

"Lady Nessa, are you going to talk to them now?" Dalia asked and Nessa exhaled deeply.

"Yes, I will head there now, you guys can tag along if you want, I don't have a problem with that, show the way, Riki," Nessa responded, Riki smiled before walking away and Nessa followed him as well as a few of the others since they wanted to hear their answers as well.

While going to where Riki held the captives, Nessa looked around as they entered a part of the forest and she sighed, realizing that it was where a lot of different types of monsters were, including some of the large ones which they hunt to eat at times.

"Riki, parts of this forest can be scary despite being beautiful, here of all places? Did you scare them to death?" She asked and Riki chuckled.

"Nope, it's just you need to use different types of methods with different types of people, they are more scared of me than the creatures," He responded and she chuckled, then patted him on the shoulder as they arrived at a part of the forest where they saw that they guys were tied up and there were different monsters around them.

"Well, this was unexpected, this is not going to end well if they don't talk," She said as a blue mask appeared on Nessa's face, the others glanced at her as she approached them and Riki chuckled.

"Who are you?" One of the guys asked.

"Me? I am one of the members who work for the leader of this place, the one you entered without permission and tried to take things that don't belong to you, the leader would like answers to very few questions," She responded and the guy chuckled.

"If you guys think that you will get answers from us like this, you are dreaming, we will never answer your questions," Another one said and Nessa sighed.

"If I were you, I won't say never, I got you to tell me part of what you wanted with the trees, don't act tough when you are not, you will break," Riki replied and the guy gritted his teeth in anger and Nessa glanced at Riki before sighing, knowing that Riki was indeed willing to use any method necessary to break them.

"If you don't tell me what you are hiding and everything about why you wanted the roots as well as the weapons, I will break you myself," Nessa said as Terou appeared beside her and began growling while growing in size as she approached the guys and flamed began forming in her hand.

"Let me tell you one thing, to fulfill one's purpose, one can go to extraordinary lengths at times, I am one of those types and right now, after all, that's happened, I am serious, so what will it be, will you guys tell me what I want to know, or will you suffer the consequences?" She asked and they swallowed as the flames got hotter in her hand.

Riki and the others glanced at Nessa, wondering if she would actually do as she said and little did they know, by then, Nessa meant what she said and was willing to do what she had to.
