Entering into the last chamber of that labyrinth revealed a bespeckled old man sitting within a cage.
"I don't suppose there is a world where you aren't the relic hunter I'm looking for?" Raising a brow as she walked up to the cage so that she could better inspect it. Her words also, obviously, garnering the attention of the man who was previously deflated in defeat.
Promptly getting him to stand up and rush to the bars of his cell; holding them as he nearly ended up pushing his head through his cage. A weight of cautious worry pervaded his tone. "What is a girl like you doing in a dangerous place like this?"
"I'm looking for you!" Chuckling as she continued to wander around the cage - attempting to find some way to open the thing yet not having much actual success.
Continuing to grumble as she studied the prison. "We know what Risky Boots' plan is, however we have no way to actually stop her without risking the central pillar of Sequin mainland crumbling, so uncle Mimic told me about three geologist relic hunters. So when I overhead you being held captive I came right away!"
"Oh no, if that is the case, then you need to quickly leave this place before he finds out you've managed to sneak in here!" Any caution he had on his face melted away to fuel his panic.
For a second she could only look at him blankly with a raised brow.
It had been a while since she had anyone react like that.
Mostly because she didn't tend to run into people when out adventuring.
Especially when she had been the one doing the saving of people as of late.
"There is no need to worry mr Rock Lover because I-"
"Now what do we have here~?" Shantae's brow immediately furrowed as she once again found herself getting rudely interrupted.
This time the one responsible looked like a bipedal gecko with two long horns jutting out the back of its skull and a body made from the abyssal darkness. A darkness she commonly associated with only two groups of creatures; the Tinker-crew and the failures in the Mud Bog. Also with an aura to match making it essentially confirmed the thing was linked to that pirate menace.
"You must be one of those Muck Lords that Risky Boots, or maybe the TinkerBat, mentioned as being in charge of this little kidnapping scheme!" Throwing out an accusatory finger.
Although that creature didn't seem very concerned.
Letting out a cackle as it pointed its own claw-like finger toward the little genie. "And you must be a little snack who just so happened upon something she shouldn't have~."
"Oh no, that monster has returned, you must run!" The relic hunter shouted out in warning.
"Heh~ it is far too late for that." Although the monster didn't exactly have the facial muscles to smile…
The fact that it didn't have lips left its gnarled teeth fully exposed in a macabre facsimile of a permanent cheshire grin.
Yet, against its expectations, Shantae just used a finger to clean her ear nonchalantly.
"Are you done with this whole spooky act you are putting up?" Raising an unamused brow that just left the monster in question and the old relic hunter stood there in silence. Completely baffled to the point where they both just looked at her with their mouths hung open like they were trying to catch flies.
"You don't even feel as strong as the first BatGal Risky made - let alone Risky Boots - herself and I kind of don't want to waste time." Interlocking her fingers in front of her face, pushing them forward to crack them all at once, with a smug smirk lighting up her face as she looked up at the muck lord. "So how about you run away and save us both some time~?"
If it was either of his brothers they probably would write it off; one with vengeful pride while the other likely too focused on snacking to tide over his never ending hunger.
And, while he didn't have the agility or raw power of them, he did have one advantage.
He was fairly cowardly.
Some may think it a disadvantage but it was that same cowardice that saved them all from meeting a horrifying end at the pirate master's cutlass back when they rebelled.
"Perhaps presumptuous but maybe you are the "pesky sexy thigh'd half-genie hero" who Risky warmed me and my brothers about?" Raising a nonexistent brow at the girl.
In response Shantae began to pat her thighs only to explode out into a proud smirk. "Yeah, I guess my thighs are pretty great now that you say it. Hard to tell since I always wear such baggy satin pants; makes sense with all the dancing I do!"
Thrusting her perfectly sized chest out with new found confidence in her body.
With that she let her hands give a nice little squeeze to her rump.
"I… See…" For a moment the monstrous being didn't quite know what to say. "My name is MishMash, the first created of my brothers, as well as the warden keeping your little professor company."
"Aw~ that's nice of you Mr MishMash." Bringing her hands together as she fawned.
"Lightning Puff!" Holding her hands together as a large cloud with a cartoonish depiction of an angry face between her fingers formed.
Throwing that thing above the monster just as it began to spark. "Now what is that meant to d-"
*FLASH*
"-oOoOoOo!" Lightning flashed down from the cloud to rush through MishMash's body as all it could do was violently shake as strike after strike came down on top of him. He wasn't even able to really make much of a scream due to the power of the lightning.
Just when the first seemed to have puffed out its last bolt, the cartoon face panting as the clouds density lessened with every attack, Shantae threw out a second one.
Her magic was so overwhelming that the relic hunter couldn't help tug at his collar.
It was hard not to feel bad for the Muck Lord.
Just as the third started to form; the monstrous target threw up a hand in the universal sign of "please stop I am begging you" leading to Shantae hesitating to throw it out. In response, MishMash… Immediately turned tail and ran. Only stopping when he was on the other side of the room to her.
"This is not worth the trouble, take the smelly old man, I'm getting out of here!" Not even possessing any grace as he sprinted as fast as he could. He even stumbled over yet didn't bother to stand up - instead making use of his clawed hands to run away even faster.
Leaving behind a baffled genie who let her new magic fade as she scratched her head. "I guess Risky had a point with her rambling; this capitalism stuff really does make the strongest overwhelmingly stronger."
Turning toward the professor who flinched slightly.
"Well if you can get this cage open I can head toward Mimic by myself while you do whatever a guardian genie does these days?" What should have been a statement came out as more of a question.
"Works for me" Shantae just shrugged it off, though.

Meanwhile Sky, who had been waiting for Shantae, found herself rather hot and bothered.
Pulling at her hoods collar as her mind drifted.
At first her thoughts were of a beautiful purple haired genie and especially scenes of last night. Yet it didn't take long for her mind to fall away from reality to start imagining other things. Such as a scene depicting that same genie along with a certain riskily dressed pirate standing over top of her.
Scenes of those two plus that annoying zombie doing all sorts of things to her body - only fuelled more by her active previous night life. Seemingly having her lustful daydreams enhanced by the strange energy that had begun circling around her body like some ethereal blood. Making the feeling become so feverishly strong that it was unbearable.
All the while she subconsciously rubbed her inner thighs together.
Looking toward Hatchet who caused every monster to turn away with one glare… She decided that the war bird would be fine without her. "I'll be back in a second."
In response the large hawk just cawed with a flap of her mighty wings.
That alone caused what felt like half the forest to rustle.
Sky nodded one last time at the mother hawk before turning to walk further into the forest unaware that a certain pair from her imagination were curiously watching her.
Partly due to her finding it hard to think of anything else with how her body heated up.
Never before had she simultaneously felt so strong yet also so weak at the same time - stumbling through the jungle until she felt she was safely in a clearing. At which point she found herself unable to resist her urges for much longer. As such she didn't even bother trying to resist.
Failing to see a certain green haired zombie girl and blue-skinned pirate queen who were watching her from just behind a tree.
Although the two of them were on opposite sides of the same tree…
Somehow not aware of each other.
Their attention wholly on Sky who didn't know she was about to give a show.

R18 Lemon Ahead

Letting the knot of her skirt undo to leave her pussy completely bare to the elements; not even wearing any underwear underneath.
Resting her back against a tree as she slid down with her legs spreading out.
Wasting no time in sliding two fingers right into her already soaking wet folds resulting in a healthy amount of her juices spilling out. She wasn't exactly gentle, either. Making it safe to say that the grass below her were certainly going to grow up healthy with how much they were getting "watered".
"It's not enough!" Sky bemoaned in a literal moan; her fingers worked furiously to try and keep up with her body's new overwhelming demands. Unknowing that help was going to come from a very unlikely place as her bra was rudely torn off.
"Wha- MMM," Lips sealed by a mischievous purple pair that immediately had the bird trainer get lost in their plump warmth for a moment.
At least until they pulled away and her breasts were quite rudely slapped from below.
Seeing those piercing red eyes watching her funbags bounce around caused a shiver down Sky's body.
"R-Risky Boots; what are you doing here!?" Immediately moving her hands in a desperate attempt to regain some modesty in front of the villain even if that was quite impossible. Considering her entire torso was now left completely bare.
Although her desperate action did at least elicit a frown from the pirate in question as her enjoyable sight was partly covered up.
Still, a sly smile soon reappeared as she rose to stand over the bird tamer.
Making said girl quickly realise her position thus snap her thighs together so fast it generated a rather pleasant clap that made the rogue's smile that bit more excited.
"Clearly mommy is doing exactly what you want~." Chuckling in a no doubt spine chilling fashion as she slapped an open palm onto the wood beside the girl's ear. Leaning forward as her other hand forcibly slid between her inner thighs as dark magic began to seep out.
That very same magic then proceeded to seep into Sky's privates - Sky letting out an explosive moan and spreading her legs once again.
Her clit glowing as it visibly began to throb, bigger with each cycle, only to explode out as a full blown penis with a heft sack joining it. Slapping down atop her pussy as the hand responsible slowly slid up the full length of that fat rod. "Damn you grew one bigger- I-I mean nearly as big as mine!"
That pirate huffing with a hand crossed under her chest as she feebly tried to brush over her "blunder" only to find she didn't have much reason to.
"Oh wow you made bird brain grow a monster cock!" Risky blinked in confusion only to turn down to see that Rottytops had somehow not only snuck up on her but was now right beside her. The zombie was crouched on all fours with her face mere inches away from Sky's veiny member.
She did open her mouth to say something else, while turning towards said "human" with a teasing smirk that foretold it wasn't going to be good, however things didn't go according to her plan. A hand promptly grabbing her hair before using it to slam her slack-jawed mouth right down to the base before she could begin to react. "Finally a use for that huge mouth…"
At first Rotty's face scrunched up as being a zombie didn't mean she didn't have any reflexes; though it was evident she started enjoying herself soon after.
Crawling closer to better be in position while soon not even needing that hand to guide her.
Sky released the zombie as she let her hands fall to the side with a relieved sigh.
Meanwhile Risky, the one who used her magic to make said cock, found herself becoming a third wheel who could only stand there while blinking.
With that thought the competitive pirate queen immediately took Sky's place in grabbing Rottytop's hair only to (not literally) yank her head off. Lips parting from the drooling tip with a fresh *POP* for a certain plump purple pair to waste no time in replacing the green. Of course she also used her tongue like a real professional would.
What she didn't anticipate was that strange mewl the bird girl made moments before her hand moved to keep her own wonderful head in place.
An abrupt explosion sending Risky's eyes wide open as white soon spewed out from both her nostrils.
As well as dribbling from the side of her unprepared lips, for the briefest of moments, until that expert mouth got everything under control. Her cheeks still puffed up, however - as her eyes darted up in annoyed accusation. Only to grow more annoyed as she found a certain purple haired genie had arrived and was canoodling with Sky!
"No fair; I put in the work and you stole it from me!" Of course Rottytops also had her own complaints.
Risky pulled her mouth off only for that green haired zombie to immediately dive in to kiss her with a greedy tongue that was desperately leeching off her stored quarry.
The pirate wasn't even surprised as much as just annoyed.
Not that she didn't take advantage to feel up a body that was only a bit behind her own.
It was also at that time when Sky & Shantae finally pulled apart to look at one another - with the latter quickly realising her partner was not exactly in the right mind. Giving a wry smile. "If I knew you were going to get up to all this fun I would have told you to at least wear last night's underwear~."
"Get off me you brain eating cadaver; I don't need oxygen but I'd like to breathe nonetheless!" Shouting as she, Risky, pushed Rottytops off her at last. In that moment she rose up to her full height to meet eyes with the very genie she least wanted to get involved with…
Well other than that unfairly overpowered giant.
Or the one who can generate earthquakes with mild inconvenience.
She may have gone ahead and personally bragged how amazing she was as well as blatantly shared her plans with Shantae. But that didn't mean she liked her - it was merely a professional courtesy.
"Truce?" The genie asked.
To that Risky lifted her hands helplessly. "I suppose I have some free time."
