Chapter 81: Wild Hunt
After jumping back to Kaer Morhen, we called everyone together to discuss the plan. All things considered, it was pretty straightforward because the six of us, the group members, would be the main fighting force.
At first, neither Vesemir nor Yennefer were convinced by the simplicity of our plan, but after showing them how strong we were, we only showed strength slightly more than a Witcher, they were convinced. Of course, showing that kind of strength raised questions, so Ciri just told them she met us when she was world-hopping, which was enough to convince them.
Once that was done, Vesemir wanted us to fix up parts of the keep that may or may not prove vital to the fight ahead. Although I think he was just glad to have some helping hands around to fix the keep. But, the three of us men were glad to help. The other two because they wanted to spar with Vesemir, and me well I wanted to keep my girlfriend happy. Happy wife, happy life.
The girls, on the other hand, were helping Yennefer with setting up some magical defenses, or so they said. I think they were just hanging around and chatting. Also, Yoruichi and Yennefer seem to have become fast friends once Yennefer found out Yoruichi was also older than she looked.
Other than that, we also met Leo who was an orphan that Vesemir had taken under his wing and trained as a witcher, but had not undergone the mutations required to be one. He got along well with us and seemed to have a crush on Amelia, apparent by his constant darting glances and not-so-subtle questions. Unfortunately for him, it would only be a fleeting one-sided crush since Amelia has confirmed she only likes girls, and also she doesn't belong to this world.
After a few hours of repairing the keep, which went much faster with Uzui trying his hardest to finish as fast as possible so he could spar with Vesemir, we were now eating dinner courtesy of me. Remembering the food that I had made in Guts' world, all of the members forced me to cook, which I was glad to do as I hadn't seen them in a few days.
Once dinner was done, which was a stew I made using venison I went out to hunt, we quickly went over the plan once more, before we all retired to our bedrooms. Except for Uzui, Guts, and Vesemir who finally relucted and went to spar with the two. Meanwhile, Yoruichi and Amelia slept in the same room while Ciri and I did the same, but we didn't do anything as we had no desire to be caught or disturb others' sleep.

"Up and at em." said Ciri as her already-clothed figure woke me up before she sat on the bed.
"Couldn't sleep?" I asked seeing the bags under her eyes.
"No. Too anxious for today."
"Understandably so. But it'll be fine." I said as I hugged her and she relaxed.
"I know, but I can't help it. I'll feel better once it's done." she said getting up.
"Let me clean up so I can make breakfast and we can do some last-minute checks."

After cleaning up and making breakfast for everyone, we were now standing in the courtyard, ready to start the plan.
"Okay, here we go. Once I leave the trail, they should be here shortly after. Those bastards are always on the lookout for a trail." she said jumping and then reappearing in the same spot before moving away.
"Everyone get ready." I said.
Uzui, Guts, Vesemir, Ciri, and I were near the front while Yennefer was in the rear with Amelia in a tower with Yoruichi nearby, ready to move to protect either of them.
After a few minutes of waiting the sky started to get cloudy and the temperature started to drop.
"They're here." said Vesemir.
And here they were. A rift appeared in the courtyard before it expanded and hounds made of ice began to rush out of the rift.
Seeing this, Uzui and Guts let them get closer before striking them down with ease while I used my telekinesis to crush some of the others.
"That world of yours sure must be something." commented Vesemir seeing Guts and Uzui take care of the hounds with ease.
"You have no idea."
After a minute or two of only hounds pouring out of the rift, horses with riders clad in skeleton armor appeared.
"Ciri, you seem to have gained some control over your powers for you to have hidden from us for so long." said the Red Rider with the helmet that looked like a crown.
"Eredin, you took Geralt and I'm here to take him back." she said sword at the ready.
"Ah, so that is why you left a trail and led us here. Is this ambush meant to kill us? You make me laugh. But this way, I'll finally have you, at last." he said before pointing forward as the Red Riders rushed forward.
"Matt." she said pointing at the navigator.
"I know." I responded before I used my tk to grab the Navigator and crush both him and his staff.
"It seems you've made some new friends." he said, unfazed by the death of his navigator and one of his generals before he rushed Ciri to fight her, while she signaled me to find Geralt.
Meanwhile, Imlerith, the hulking giant of a rider, was being confronted by Guts while Nithral the first rider to die in the game, was fighting against Uzui who was having a jolly time. Amelia and Yennefer were using their guns and magic, respectively, to kill and take care of any straggling warriors.
I, on the other hand, was using my tk to do the same thing as Yennefer and Amelia while keeping a close eye on the fight between Eredin and Ciri. But as I was taking care of some warriors, I saw a rider on a horse galloping towards Vesemir.
'That's Geralt.' I thought as I saw a bit of white hair peek out from under his helm. So, I grabbed him with my tk and kept a hold of him far away from the battle while he struggled to get out, unsuccessfully.
"I have Geralt!" I told Ciri who blinked away from Eredin to dodge a sword strike before she turned to me.
"Good. Now I can finish this." she said before she started blinking all around Eredin while using her rapier to cut him over and over before she ended it by blinking on top of his shoulders and plunging the sword into his head, going through his armor like a hot knife in butter.
As for Guts and Uzui, hearing that I had Geralt, they both quickly finished their fights and killed the generals before starting to take care of the rest of the warriors who were now stranded after the Navigator was killed by me.
Geralt stopped struggling once Eredin had died which means he must have been under some spell that he cast.
"Matt, bring him down." said Ciri, anxious to see her adoptive father.
Putting Geralt down gently on the ground, Ciri, Yennefer, and Vesemir all rushed up to check on him.
"Geralt. Geralt." said Ciri as she shook him.
"He'll most likely have amnesia once he wakes up, but it should take some time, so let's place him on a bed and we'll keep an eye on him. Meanwhile, I'll get the things to reverse his amnesia ready." said Yennefer.
"Okay. Matt, pick him up gently and bring him over to his room." said Ciri, before I did as she said.

A few hours later, and Ciri and I were waiting in Geralt's room. The others had begun to clean up the bodies that were left behind and I had been helping them but was called by Ciri. As we were waiting, I was reading a book and Ciri was clearly anxious as could be seen by her constantly moving leg.
"Relax. He's safe now. It's not surprising he's taking a while to wake up when you take into account he's been under a spell for months by now." I said as I put down my book and held Ciri's hand.
"Thanks." she said as her leg stilled and she cuddled up to me.
"What are you thinking about?"
"About how strong we've gotten. About how the enemies that once plagued my very existence are nothing but a nuisance now."
"We'll only get stronger from here."
"Mm."
"So, are you going to heal them?"
"Heal them?" she asked.
"Yeah. Heal Yennefer and Geralt, so they can have kids. There's no doubt in my mind there's an item that can heal them without any adverse effects in the shop."
"I'll have to ask them first. I don't want to put any unnecessary pressure on them, but my guess is they'll say yes. If they do, I will. And if I can't buy it, I'll save up enough to do so. It's the least I can do for all that they've done for me."
GROAN
"He's awake." said Ciri as she instantly appeared at Geralt's bedside while I stood up, stuck my head out of his room, and yelled for Yennefer before walking over to Ciri.
"Oh, what's happening?" said Geralt in the voice that I'd heard so many times in my past life.
"Geralt, you're in Kaer Morhen."
"W-who are you?" he said causing Ciri to wince a bit.
"My name is Ciri, and you've lost your memory. We're going to get them back." she said.
"Is he awake? Does he have his memories?" said Yennefer as she rushed in with a potion in hand.
"No." said Ciri.
"Good thing I just finished this then. Here Geralt, drink this and you'll get your memories back." she said as she handed him a flash which he took and drank before clutching his head in pain.
"What happened? Ciri? Yen? Why am I in Kaer Morhen?" he said before being tackled into a hug by both ladies.
"Oh, Geralt. I'm so glad you're okay." said Ciri.
"Geralt, I've missed you so much." said Yennefer.
"Who are you?" said Geralt as he looked right at me.
