The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Reo] 

After a nice and long refreshing shower, I quickly walked out of the bathroom and made my way towards the closet. Momo was fast asleep as she was really tired, but there was a satisfied smirk marring her face. 

I don\'t think that the other girls except Luna have any idea about my plans, but I shouldn\'t underestimate their intuition. Female intuition is scarily accurate… This time, I decided to go along with some casual training clothes. 

After turning the time back to normal inside the room, I teleported away. I appeared on a beach. The beach was filled with various types of extinct animals which weren\'t extinct any longer and there was a dirty-blonde haired girl, sitting in the middle of the whole group. 

Luna immediately perked up as soon as I arrived on the beach. Her pets immediately turned towards me, but with a simple hand gesture, Luna calmed down all of them. Yes, I decided to propose to Luna, she already knew what I was doing, so there was no surprise from the beginning. 

"Hello!" Luna greeted me with a cheerful smile on her face. 

"Hi" I said as I slowly made my way towards her. 

"You are overdressed" Luna pointed out while eyeing me. Yes, when compared to Luna, I was overdressed, after all, she was only dressed in a pair of two-piece bikinis. 

"That I am… though I had something different in mind, other than lazing under the sun" I said with a meaningful look on my face and Luna\'s face seemed to brighten up after hearing my words. 

"Something like a camping trip?" Luna questioned me in a hopeful, and honestly, I was thinking about taking her on a camping trip. Probably that is why she refrained from using her puppy dog eyes no Jutsu on me. 

"Yes… so, you up for it?" I asked and Luna excitedly nodded her head like a woodpecker. 

"Just give a few minutes, I need to bid them farewell and get my camping kit from Knox" Luna chirped in an excited tone as shot up on her feet. "Oh… don\'t worry, I will avoid the other girls" Luna said with a giggle as she started to skip towards her pets. 

I simply shook my head in amusement and Conjured myself a chair. I sat down on my chair and wait for Luna to finish as it will take some time for Luna to bid farewell to all of her pets. Luna could have been the best Beast Tamer in any Magical world\'s history. 

It took Luna somewhere around half an hour to bid farewell to her pets after telling them not to fight among themselves while she was gone and she told them to take care of themselves. All of her pets nodded their heads like children before disappearing into the tree line.

Moments later, Luna vanished and she returned after a minute dressed in camping clothes and her trusty backpack. I knew that the backpack was modified and contained all of her camping kit. Luna beamed at me as she approached me while skipping. 

"So, do you have a place in mind?" I asked Luna and she seemed to think for a bit as a dazed glint appeared in her eyes. 

"How about the Grand Canyon National Park? I always wanted to go there" Luna said after a few seconds of silence, I simply shrugged as I had no problems with her choice of location. 

"Sure… now, I think that you shouldn\'t have changed into those heavy clothes, your bikini was good" I said with a grin and Luna started to giggle. 

"Don\'t be silly, Reo. What do you think I am wearing underneath these clothes? I have never gone trekking in a bikini, but I am sure that it is going to be a nice experience for both of us" Luna retorted with a similar grin and gave me a meaningful wink. 

Oh. Well… "Thankfully, I have my swimming trunks in my Storage Space" I said with a proud grin on my face as I extended my hands towards her. She giggled once again and accepted my hand, and the next second, we found ourselves standing at the valley of the Grand Canyon National Park. 

"I wonder if I can catch a rattlesnake" Luna muttered to herself and I almost groaned. 

"Luna, why do you want to catch a rattlesnake?" I asked while rubbing my temples even though I already knew why she was trying to catch a rattlesnake. 

"Because I don\'t have a rattlesnake as my pet, silly" Luna said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. 

"Fine…" Luna\'s point was valid so I decided to concede. After that, the two of us made our way towards the canyon. There were other people too, but they simply ignored us as I was actively using my Reality Powers to keep myself invisible. 

Slowly the other humans started to decrease as we went deeper into the canyons. Some hardcore camper and trekking groups could still be seen, but the place wasn\'t as crowded as before. Neither of us were in any sort of hurry, so we kept simply walking through the canyon. 

Both Luna and I have already lost our shirts due to the heat. It wasn\'t a problem as other humans were pretty scarce and additionally, none of them could see us. It was getting dark, so we decided to set up our camp near an underground pond. With my powers, locating something like that was pretty easy. 

Unfortunately, Luna didn\'t find a rattlesnake, but she didn\'t lose hope. "Don\'t worry you will find a rattlesnake tomorrow" I assured her she beamed at me with a bright smile on her face. 

"Yes. By the way, can you bring some water while I set up the fire?" Luna asked in an excited tone and I nodded my head. I was about to use my powers but Luna spoke up again before I could do that. 

"Oh… and don\'t use your powers" Luna reminded me, so I simply grabbed the bottles as I made my way towards the pond. For whatever reason, Luna kept insisting on no Powers during camping trips. 

Well, I didn\'t have any problems either way… Camping was always fun as long as Luna was involved…
