Kazuya, Sylvara, and the gang sprinted down the mountain trail at breakneck speed.
"FASTER!" Kazuya yelled. "IF WE STAY ANY LONGER, THEY'LL HIT US WITH A BONUS ROUND!"
Sylvara glanced over her shoulder. "We're almost out—"
Lady Ravynne's voice echoed through the valley.
"Oh, dears~ You forgot to say goodbye!"
Kazuya's soul left his body.
Bradimus paled. "We have a tail."
They turned.
Three elite MILFs were giving chase.
And they weren't running.
They were power-walking.
FAST.
Kazuya screamed. "THEY'RE GAINING ON US!"
Celestia adjusted her glasses. "Based on their stride efficiency and hip sway physics, we have approximately 30 seconds before they close the gap."
"THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TIME!" Kazuya wheezed.
Sylvara drew her sword. "Then we fight!"
Kazuya grabbed her arm. "NO! WE RUN."
Sylvara hesitated. "But my honor—"
Kazuya: "YOUR HONOR WON'T SAVE YOU FROM THEIR THIGHS."
Bradimus gasped. "LOOK OUT!"
Up ahead, a MASSIVE CHASM blocked their path.
Celestia checked her notes. "Oh. That's called the 'Cliff of No Escape.'"
Kazuya skidded to a stop. "WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THAT SOONER?!"
Celestia shrugged. "I was curious how long it would take you to notice."
Bradimus grabbed Kazuya's shoulders. "Brother. This is it. We must jump."
Kazuya looked at the hundreds of meters of deadly drop below.
Kazuya: "I REFUSE."
Sylvara: "WE HAVE NO CHOICE!"
Bradimus: "THEY'RE ALMOST HERE!"
Kazuya turned.
The three MILFs had arrived.
They adjusted their hair.
They pursed their lips.
They tilted their heads slightly.
Kazuya blacked out for 0.3 seconds.
Sylvara grabbed his hand. "JUMP. NOW."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
THEY ALL JUMPED.
FREEFALL MODE ACTIVATED
The wind roared past them.
Kazuya: "OKAY, NOW WHAT?!"
Celestia flipped a page. "Statistically speaking, we have a 94% chance of death."
Kazuya: "WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!"
Sylvara pointed downward. "LOOK! A RIVER!"
Bradimus: "THAT'S NOT A RIVER—THAT'S A WATERFALL."
Celestia: "Technically, both are correct."
Kazuya: "I AM NOT DYING LIKE THIS."
Bradimus: "THEN THINK OF SOMETHING FAST."
Kazuya scanned the area.
And then…
He saw it.
A single tree branch sticking out from the cliffside.
Kazuya: "GRAB ON!"
Everyone reached out—
SLAM.
Kazuya grabbed it first.
Then Sylvara grabbed his legs.
Then Bradimus grabbed Sylvara's legs.
Then Celestia grabbed Bradimus's legs.
SNAP.
Kazuya: "OH COME ON."
THEY PLUMMETED AGAIN.
SPLASH!
They hit the water.
MOMENTS LATER…
Kazuya's vision blurred.
Everything was quiet.
Then—
Sylvara's face appeared over him.
"…Are you alive?"
Kazuya coughed. "Maybe."
Bradimus crawled onto shore. "That was… unpleasant."
Celestia fixed her wet glasses. "Fascinating."
Sylvara looked around. "I think we lost them."
Kazuya sighed in relief.
"No more MILF Mountain. No more tests. We're finally free."
Then a voice purred behind them.
"Oh, silly boy…"
Kazuya froze.
Slowly, he turned.
Standing there, completely dry, not even slightly winded, was Lady Ravynne.
She smiled. "You forgot… your reward."
