Counter Earth Chronicles - Dual Realities

Chapter 48: Lies My Government Told Me

October 17th, YOE 35

6:54 AM Chaundoon (Perna Pride Village, Marble Canyons) 

“Naka what is going on out there!" Stab asked. “I hear fighting."

“I think we have arrived." Song said solemnly as her ears twitched.

“Let us out! We have to defend our home!" A slender female feline replied. 

“But you three are missing your weapons." Kiwi said to Black Scythe's children.

“I agree it is going to make fighting that much more difficult." Impale replied looking at those who were in the trunk of the prototype with him. “The travel accommodations are rather tight." 

“But cozy." Kiwi said snuggled between the two savages.

“Naka?" Song asked her wolf. “What are you seeing?"

“It is bad." Shred grumbled from the co-pilot seat of the blue prototype. “Naka stop this cart."

The blue coupe landed on a hill adjacent to the village. Naka, Song, Kiwi and the three warriors with them exited shortly there after.

“Overwatch are we still cloaked?" The maned wolf asked the automated assistant.

*The holo projector is holding Naka. No one can see us.*

The Yowie had the run of the village. Many of the adobe structures were on fire, chairs overturned, tables smashed. There were fallen warriors on the ground and a few cocoons strung about.

“We must avenge our brothers and sisters!" Shred shouted.

Naka and Song blocked the feline from running into the fray.

“And do what? Add to the body count?" Naka asked the thin S'mar warrior. “You don't have any weapons!"

Shred ignored the question as he watched a horrid scene unfold. Not five hundred feet away from them another luckless warrior was bit by a Yowie. He dropped his weapon, screamed in agony before exploding.

Behind that a feline warrior prepared to fire an arrow from his crossbow before his head was lopped clean off his body bouncing on the ground.

“Naka, the pride, our pride is approaching extinction!" Stab shouted.

“We have lost the village!" Impale snarled.

“Naka, Song, Kiwi we must defend our home!" Stab growled. As the wolf, chakat and boy stood motionless at the horrid scene.

Earlier…

October 16th YOE 35

9:59 AM Chaundoon (King's Court, Central Tower)

“Everyone's here." I said peering into the throne room. 

“Duchess Jua is wearing a blue strapped skirt, King Dragon is looking rather uh, colonial in a brown shirt and tan pants." My lioness observed.

“Well, at least it isn't a white shirt and shorts." I commented. “The rest of the former colony council were dressed in similar clothing and then there were the new members…

“I think I like what Umebo, Laurel, Mist and Bounce are wearing the most little cutie."

“What is that?" I asked my lioness.

“Nothing at all."

(That was such a Shakara statement.)

“That is normal for their kind- I guess."

“Shush!! It is beginning!" The red eyed lioness said placing her paw on my shoulder as a small dragon wearing a green shirt and white pants called the meeting to order.

“Your attention please! Your attention please! Introducing the World Seven Council." The little herald announced to those present. “The Chado's chosen one, the leader of the combined kingdom of beastials, humans and monsters… King Dragon the first."

“Next to him the daughter of the first house, holder of knowledge, keeper of the scrolls of friendship, the cheerful of the cheerful, the inspirer of the inspired, the giver of light, water, sand and air and leader of the Sand Folk, Duchess Jua."

“Isn't this exciting?" I smiled at my lioness. “We are witnessing the first meeting of the new colony council!"

“Yes little cutie we are watching history… our history unfold right before our eyes. It is rather sexy." Shakara added. “And erotic."

“Erotic?!" I asked my horny lioness. That was when she grabbed and kissed me deeply and passionately in the hallway in front of the throne room. “Oh yeah, erotic."

I started to grow concerned as we made out though.

“Little cutie?"

“Shakara do we really have time for this?!"

Now introducing our newest members:

“Ambassador Umebo of the Stone Folk."

“Bounce of the Mud Folk."

“Laurel of the Tree Folk."

"Mist of the Merfolk."

“They are just introducing the rest of the council now… so yes… so much yes." The horny she beast said guiding me to a closet nearby, pulling me in and then closing the door. I was soon pounced on by the red eyed kitty cat.

10:00 AM Chaundoon (Knight Command, World Seven)

“But Commander Rhinox, Lady Barq, Lady Ursa, Commander Sanda!" The mid-level knight protested to his superiors as Ripple, Raffu, Marigold, Marja, Rainy and the rest of the dragon defenders looked on.

“Naka we sympathize, we really do." The caracal said staring down the maned wolf. “But King Dragon is very reluctant to involve the knight core in what he considers is a local tribal matter."

“Respectfully that tribal matter concerns a pride that took Song, Kiwi and myself in when we had nowhere else to go!"

“We read your report son. They are facing a rival with superior tactics that threatens their very existence."

“Commander Rhinox- the Yowie are these huge spider creatures that can hypnotize their victims! They have large fangs that can inject venom in their prey causing them to react violently before exploding." The maned wolf said to his superior.

“Such to say the tribe is in the fight for their lives." The badger warrior replied entering the conversation. “But isn't that the natural order of things in the S'mar Pridelands- the strong conquer the weak?"

“Yes it is…" The maned wolf started to say.

“Who are we to interfere with the natural order of things? To pick and choose the winner of tribal conflicts?" Lady Ursa opined.

“The natural order of things?! The natural order of things?! Was it the natural order of things when Counter Earth was conquered and now the conqueror has laid claim over the conquered and we were forced to flee here?"

That generated some chatter over the four leaders of knight command.

“Further when the sand folk were attacked by the stone folk, we came to their aid and even let them stay here in World Seven." Naka said gesturing to the dragon defenders behind him.

“That is because they are our allies." Lady Barq said correcting the mid-level knight.

“And our leader is on friendly terms with their leader." Sanda added causing those in the room to chuckle.

“The colony council is meeting as we speak to discuss our guests from Perna Pride. We will abide by their decisions." The rhino said to the wolf.

10:01 AM Chaundoon (King's Court, Central Tower)

And introducing former Colony Council members Basil Bear, Masha Pitbull, tigress Shira, Song the chakat and Haem the err um…" The herald stumbled looking for the multi-eyed octopus monster's last name.

“It is just Haem." Masha replied.

“See we didn't miss much." My lioness announced as we entered the throne room.

“First order of business- the Chado we captured from that rogue faction." The dragoness said addressing the newly assembled council.

“Bring the prisoners in." Basil ordered.

Shakara and I watched as Linias and Sandu brought in the two rogue Chado who were captured from within the haboob that struck the city.

“You two and your faction have brought mayhem and terror to the residents across all of Chaundoon." Masha stood pointing to the knight's prisoners.

“What do you have to say for yourself?" Laurel asked.

*screech* *screech* 

“What did they say?" Shira asked.

“You don't want to know." Mist replied.

“Still we can't keep them imprisoned indefinitely." Song observed.

“And if we release them- they will go back to their shady ways." Haem signed.

*grunt* *grunt* *grunt* Bounce suggested.

“Ur…." Umebo concurred.

“What… what was the suggestion?" Sorren asked Jua.

“We give those two back to the Chado and let them take care of THEIR internal personal problem."

“I concur!" The scorpion boy added.

*Hiss* *Hiss.* The fire lizard said chastising his fellow knight.

“Right… right we are just guards we don't really have a say in this."

“Very well. We all agree that the rogues will be returned to Manderine and his clan for punishment." The duchess proclaimed.

“Well that was easy." My lioness said, turning to me. 

“Next order of business." King Dragon said standing.

“Looks like we are up." I said to her. 

After our brief frolic in the closet, she quickly straightened my shirt and pants. I did the same to her as we prepared to address the council.

As we prepared to step in front of the king's throne after the exiting knights and their prisoners, we were quickly lapped by a bear cub and yeti.

*WHOOSH*

They passed by us with such speed, I was spun around.

“Well then again, maybe not."

“With the recent weather centric events that have plagued World Seven this year many of us have started to miss some of the amenities we enjoyed on our previous planet." The ugly female pitbull said starting her oration.

“That is why there is a watching tower, Ms. Masha." Shira added as the rest of the council looked on.

“Acknowledged, but I think we could do better." 

“Better how?" Basil asked as his adoptive son and his friend approached the council.

“Weather forecasters. I propose we elect a group to observe and monitor the weather and to issue warnings when it becomes a detriment to lives and property."

“Sounds like a good idea." Shira replied.

“Have anyone in mind Masha?" The dragoness asked the female pitbull.

“These two volunteers." She said pointing to the manufactured toy and his friend the black bear cub.

“Yogi and Kip?" Haem signed.

“Rather they approached me."

“Are you two up to the task?" Duchess Jua asked.

“You betcha!" Kip shouted.

“It will be like a school project!" Yogi added.

“One of great importance." Song added. “And a challenge given our technological limitations."

“Ms. Rose and Ms. Una will be assisting as well." Masha added. “Perhaps even planetary sciences."

“What just happened?" I asked my horny lioness.

“We just witnessed the formation of the World Seven Meteorology Department, little cutie." Shakara replied.

“From this day forward your group will be responsible for conveying alerts to not just the residents of the city but our friends and neighbors in the surrounding areas." Song said pointing to the four new members of the council as well.

“Yes ma'am." The young yeti replied.

“We are up to the challenge." Kip added.

“What are weather forecasters?" Laurel asked.

Mist whispered something to the humanoid female made of green vines, leaves, twigs and moss.

“OH! Interesting." She replied.

“Very well it is agreed upon." Sorren said. “And now for the last item."

The entire throne room fell silent. It was more than apparent everyone had some knowledge about the dilemma our newly anointed king faced.

“Will the healers step forward please." The herald requested.

“Medic Alex Winter and healer Shakara Kubari, what is the status of the three Perna Pride warriors you have been caring for?" Duchess Jua asked.

“The warrior known as Shred was suffering from internal injuries when he arrived in the infirmary." I said addressing the council.

*Grunt* *grunt* *grunt* The leader of the mudfolk asked.

“He was attacked by his own weapons from an assailant." I replied to Bounce. “It took some time but he has recovered."

“I understand there two others in your care?" Mist asked.

“Yes Impale and Stab the adult children of one of the prides' chieftains." My lioness said addressing the leader of the merfolk. “Those two had been cocooned by an enemy of the tribe. When they arrived in medical both were in deep comas; their life signs very faint. It was touch and go for a while but they have reawakened."

“Are they stable enough to travel?" Basil asked.

“Yes." I replied to the prehistoric cave bear. 

“That is good because our newest S'mar guests are requesting transport home to join their tribe that is in conflict with that enemy in their territory. I don't have a problem with granting them safe passage home." King Dragon began.

“It is the helping them fight their enemy part isn't?" The white chakat asked standing.

“I am hesitant to involve myself in another's conflict Song." Sorren said solemnly.

“I know you have strong feelings regarding this." The white dragon said standing next to the red dragon.

“I do your majesties. That S'mar tribe took in Naka, Kiwi and myself when we became stranded in their territory." The beautiful chakat opined. 

“But wasn't that after the leech boy gave himself to the pride as a offering for your sake?" Laurel asked.

Umebo, Bounce and Mist looked at the leader of the Tree Folk.

“It is true." Masha said answering the question. “That was probably why you were taken in. I hesitate to wonder what would have happened if they had rejected the leech boy's proposal."

“The bottom line Song is that we don't have a formal relationship or agreements with any S'mar prides in the pridelands." Basil observed.

“What right do we have to interfere with their affairs?" Shira asked.

“And if they were on the verge of being annihilated?!" The chakat asked.

“What if they were on the verge of destroying the Yowie or even another tribe? Should we intervene then?" Haem signed.

“What if we were on the brink of oblivion (again) would they come to our aid?" King Dragon asked gently.

Song grit her teeth and squinted her eyes. “I would think not your majesty. They are neither our friends or allies but something in between."

“From the sounds of it- opportunity seekers." The plant-lady replied as everyone looked at her. “Sorry."

“Do not be, we value all opinions here." The ugly female pitbull commented.

“Very well, we will transport our guests back to their home." Sorren said addressing the council.

“And if there is no home for them to go back to?" Song asked indignantly.

“We will offer aid to those who are sick, injured and wounded." Duchess Jua said, folding her arms.

12:10 PM Conquered Counter Earth (City Center, World Four) 

“Hear Ye, hear ye!" The dawn horse shouted from his podium to anyone within the sound of his voice in the crumbling quake ravaged city. “Annoyed by the collapse of civilization? Your job go bye bye? Lack the essentials needed for life? Are you suffering from depravity and despair? Tired of struggling to get by in this post apocalyptic era? Well, do I have a deal for you!"

“Dane is laying it on really thick." Ed said to Jonan.

“Well World Three was such a let down- I mean there was nothing there!"

“Well there was the local field office and that thing in the lake of fire." The eagle said countering the ewe.

“What I mean Ed, was that all life there ceased after the volcanoes emerged- the city is just gone. There is literally nothing left but the local field office."

“That was rather neat it was made out of a crashed space-ship."

“Space-station. But not nearly as nice as The Diamond City though." Jonan said correcting her friend.

“World Four appears to be a little better. I mean the city, while damaged, is still standing." Ed replied noting the cracked and sloping structures around them. “However the constant counter earthquakes are unnerving."

“Is it me or does it appear that the synoptic doesn't quite have complete control here?" The ewe asked.

“I was thinking that too. I thought there would be another structure similar to diamond city…" The eagle said.

“There isn't. The local office is in a small business park… well the remnants of one." Jonan replied as Dane finished his sales pitch.

“Well what do you think? We are world building." The dawn horse said to the small minuscule group that had assembled.

“I don't know." A female spitz replied. 

“I don't understand why you are hesitating? It is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a reformatted and rebooted Counter Earth."

“Well that group over there is proposing something similar and it doesn't require selling our souls to this creator of all you described." A collie replied.

Ed, Dane and Jonan looked at where the collie was pointing. 

“Hear one, hear all!" A female capuchin shouted from a makeshift podium “Join us and your lives WILL be better! We are seeking motivated, creative, self-starting individuals to rekindle the light of civilization; working for a better today and even a greater tomorrow."

“In return we are offering safety, protection, comfort and community! Join us! Join us! Join us!" A lemur next to the she monkey shouted.

Dane, Ed and Jonan traded glances with each other. The ewe was the first to investigate. She walked over to the podium.

“Looking for salvation in these hard times friend?" The capuchin asked.

“If so we offer that and more." The lemur asked.

“What type of salvation?" Jonan asked.

“We represent a group that is bringing order out of this disorder, creating structure out of chaos, bringing stability where there is none. Got a problem? We are the solution! Constant and steady amidst the uncertain."

“Nice forward looking statements." The eagle said.

“It is as we said, we plan to transform this city from what you see now to new heights of greatness!" The lemur said smiling.

“In a changed world building a better future together." The she monkey said cheerfully.

“Interesting the group I represent is doing the same thing." The ewe said the capuchin.

“But there is a difference." The lemur added. “We will succeed."

“Oh really?! How big is your group's territory?" Dane asked.

“Oh World Four… well part of it." The capuchin replied.

“Gee, that is small. Our group's territory includes World ONE, World Three, World Five and parts of World Four. We have been trying to get a foothold into World Two but that market has proven to be difficult." Dane said trying not to gloat. But really was.

“But there is a difference- we will succeed without having to force those against their will. They will join us freely. Unlike your outfit we offer a thirty day trial. You can leave if not fully satisfied." The lemur replied smiling.

“Does your group offer that?" The she monkey asked.

“Ok where do we sign up?" An aardwolf asked. The collie and the spitz also made their decisions right then and there.

“Yes, yes right this way!" The lemur said directing their new prospects.

Dane, Ed and Jonan watched as the lemur and capuchin led a portion of the crowd to two 25' tall creatures standing side by side in the distance. 

They were yellowish brown, with humanoid looking bodies with no neck, a circle like head with no nose, two flat ears, oval mouth with sharp teeth and one single eye- a large single eye. 

“Who would have guessed we would have competition?" The eagle asked.

“I hate competitors." The dawn horse added. “DIE!!!!"

“It's alright Dane. We just have to convince everyone that we have the better product." Jonan said.

Dane and Ed looked at their friend.

“It shouldn't be too hard boys. Because we do HAVE the better product." Jonan observed.

“Just the same, I think we should stay away from what ever those are- they are running to." Ed said to his friends.

7:40 PM Chaundoon (Desert of Lightning, S'mar Pridelands)

“This way and don't dawdle." Saber grumbled at his middle slave. “Unless you want to be struck."

KRAKK!!!

“Aieee!! Yes, master!" Naomi replied as Saber the vicious directed her where to walk…. faster.

They had journeyed past Three Rivers Pride's territory, past the mirrored forest and now were virtually in the middle of nowhere- a place not declared by other prides.

The freckled teen's mind raced a mile a minute. Why did Saber specifically request her for this trip and not Annette or Sticks? Why were they traveling alone in this hostile place? What was their ultimate destination?

The humidity was rather tolerable that evening and the temperature even more so, the sky was orange and clear except for the lightning bolts striking everything not moving in this vast wasteland.

“Um, master?"

“What is it girl?" Saber asked looking backward at Naomi.

He looked particularly ferocious this evening.

“Why are we out here?"

“It is the beginning of the end." The Three Rivers Pride chieftain said cryptically.

“Um, and may I ask where are we headed?"

“Don't you mind girl I will let you know when we arrive." Was his non-answer answer.

That really set her mind racing! When she wandered into their village all those months ago and was claimed, Saber had repeatedly told her that her very own life belonged to him. Was he now regretting his decision? What does the chieftain do with those that have fallen out of his favor? Um, stupid question.

As the sky to ground lightning lessened, the machete wielding savage pushed the topless freckled former inhabitant of Counter Earth in front of him instructing her to sprint. Naomi complied running by a large boulder with wide horizontal slits.

“Wench right here." He called out to her.

“What is this master some type of sacrificial ground?"

“It is a cave."

“The entrance is rather small."

“I think we can make it." He said pushing her forward. “Inside."

The savage chieftain watched as his slave laid on her stomach and crawled inside the slit entrance. She was wearing that the only article of clothing he would allow her to wear- a white loin-cloth.

The freckled teenager walked inside hesitantly. There was a pathway in front of her that was comprised of smooth stones which felt great on Noami's feet. Their temperature was cool as well. But that was only a small portion of what was before her.

“Wooow."

“This is called the cave of many lights." The vicious savage said to his middle slave. “The rocks here mimic what is in the nighttime sky."

The lights reminded the teen of a planetarium. Millions of small sparkling stars that illuminated the cave's interior.

As she admired the sparking lights she soon reached the end of the cave. In its rear she found a blanket and some pitchers.

Saber let her kneel to study the objects. 

“It looks like a super secret camp."

“What girl?" The feline warrior asked as he removed his furry shawl and bandana.

 “You know, a home away from home." Naomi commented. She looked over her shoulder just in time to see the savage feline with a voracious look on his face. You know, the kind a cat has when it is about to conclude a hunt.

*pounce*

“Eeek!!" She screamed as he pinned her to the floor. “Master?!“

“This is the end girl!" He sneered at her showing his sabertooth fangs.

“Now… now master I know my productivity has decreased with me only being able to work in the early morning or evening…" Naomi began.

The bloodthirsty savage just stared at her.

“And… and I know I tend to complain a lot about the casual nudity on display in the village and elsewhere well, everywhere…." 

The teen squirmed as she watched her master reach for his machete. 

“And I know that I have picky eating habits- I find the eyeball soup is rather disgusting but, I have taken a liking to paw stew…"

The feline warrior's face was neutral as he ran the dull side of his blade over Naomi's torso.

This was it!!

“This isn't about me sneaking out to stargaze? I mean I guess I should have asked, but this world is so fascinating- I mean it has two suns and four moons… now three… the constellations in the night sky are quite different from those of my previous world."

The tip of the blade made moved toward her waist.

Her time was up!!

“I am sorry master! I have tried to curtail my fascination and wonder but it is hard. This planet is so weird, confusing, fascinating and enchanting! I promise I won't say I have to make water as an excuse to sneak out in order to look at the night sky ever again. The freckled teen replied as the tip of the blade cut the straps holding her loincloth.

“As I said this is the end, girl." The feline warrior reiterated. “Of your maidenhood!"

“Maidenhood? Maidenhood! You mean my virginity?" The teen realized what her master was saying, why he had singled her out. “You mean the trek out here? The cave of lights? These soft blanket?" Naomi asked as the savage leaned in further. “You mean I haven't fallen out of your favor?"

No. It was his way of being romantic. His next action proved it.

*blep*

“No. But is there anything else you would like to confess girl?"

“But, but master! I thought you were going to wait until I had fully blossomed?"

The teen remained still as the cat's snout reached her ear. “Close enough."

She looked down toward her waist finding that he had used his machete to cut the string holding her white loincloth together.

Saber then straddled her hips. He leaned forward giving his middle slave a rough tongue bath, he licked her neck, breasts, stomach all the way down to her groin as she protested again.

“But master, you are too big! I will be split in two!"

Saber reached for a nearby pitcher, he opened it, then poured some thing on his paw and then moved to his middle slave's groin. 

Naomi watched as one, two three paw-fingers were placed into her sex. She was being lubed. The sensations she felt were incredible.

“I think you are ready." The savage said presenting himself to her. They watched as something started to emerge from his sheath. Something bright red. “Now it is your turn to do the same. If I were you, I would not miss a spot."

Saber's penis reminded Naomi of an elongated thimble- a pointed red tip with some barbs underneath followed by a long shaft. Which before she realized it was inside her!

*penetrated*

“AH!"

“If it isn't rough it isn't fun." The savage said scrapping her insides with his barbs. “Now arch your back… yes like that and interlock your legs with mine."

Saber leaned in to start thrusting, but Naomi was quicker, she grabbed her master's head and kissed him deeply… passionately.

“I think I have developed feelings for you master." She said in the heat of the moment.

“I know." He replied breaking the kiss, and moving down her neck to her chest.

“UUUHHH!!! UUUGHHH!!! UGH!!!" The freckled teen moaned. “Wha, what was that?"

“Your first time." The savage replied.

“Did I just cum?!"

“Would you like to have another?"

She felt his muscles, the broad shoulders, that tight behind, his wirily tail and the snug fit of his phallus inside her sex, brought Naomi to another orgasm and another.

Saber repositioned himself to where he was on his knees has back perpendicular to the ground, has paws holding Naomi's back, his head on her chest as her legs were dangling  behind him.

*thrust* *thrust* *thrust*

He heard his slave gasped and moan like never before as she came for a fourth time. Her head leaning backward, her eyes closed.

The freckled teen was lowered back to the blanket as the leader of the Three Rivers Pride repositioned himself and entered her sex again, placing both of his paws to the right of her hips.

Saber followed through on his promise watching his human gasp and moan, moan and gasp. He brought her to five, six, seven and eight orgasms making her first time quite memorable. He also had to be very careful- she was not as hardy as a s'mar and any injury she sustained would lower her productivity.

Naomi was having the night of her life being ravaged by her savage! Forget about the lights in the cave she was seeing her own stars! That was when everything started to turn white. She was experiencing sensory overload… she was starting to pass out. 

Was this what Annette experienced when she was screwed stupid?

“Stay with me girl." Her master ordered. She tried to redirect her attention to focus on him, the face he was making, the wicked smirk as their bodies touched each other again and again. Her eyes started to roll back into her head. “Look at me… look at me now wench!"

The freckled teen watched as her master made a few quick humps as he glared at her then closed his eyes.

*SNARL*

She felt the penis inside her sex spasm before it exploded and she was flooded with this liquid warmth. That was the last sensation she remembered.

“And now I shall sleep inside of you." Saber said laying down on her. She was indeed a fantastic lay and he had enjoyed making love to his newest comfort woman.

October 17th, YOE

6:50 AM Chaundoon (Cave of Many Lights, Lightening Desert)

“I'm soggy!" Naomi said awakening.

“But satisfied?" The feline warrior asked looking up from her chest.

“Yes master, last night… this morning… was the best night of my life. Thank…" Naomi said as she brought her hand to her semen soaked crotch. “Um… I have to make water. For real. This place doesn't have a bathroom does it?"

“Come." He ordered her.

Naomi followed her master to a odd corner of the cave. There was a small cylinder pit just deep enough for them to climb down into.

She watched as Saber leaped down into it. He then reached for her.

“What is this?" The teen said noticing the ground was full of this sand/gravel mixture.

“Your bathroom."

“Here?" The teen asked.

Her master positioned her toward the wall and instructed her to squat. He then placed his paws on her shoulder.

“Now make your water."

A little embarrassed, the teen complied. She watched as the sand and gravel clumped together absorbing the puddle she was making. 

“What is this a litterbox?!" She asked standing. It made sense- there was no plumbing or even a sewer where they were, so this was the next best thing. Natural cat litter.

Saber pulled her to his side, placed one paw then another on the wall and urinated on the same spot she had. He did so for a long time. When he had finished he kicked more of the sand/gravel on to the spot they had finished relieving themselves on.

Naomi started snickering. 

“What girl?"

“You reminded me of something from where I am from." The teen said smiling.

“Really what?"

“A housecat."

“What is that?" The feline warrior asked as they climbed out of the relieving pit.

“Well…" She started to explain as his ears started twitching.

“Shush." He ordered her as he walked to the entrance of the cave.

Confused. The teen followed her master. 

What was he doing?

Chaundoon's three remaining moons were full in the early dawn. About 500 feet away she could just make out two figures. They seemed to be dancing or swaying in the moonlight. 

No, they were warriors, S'mar warriors writhing and quaking like they were in extreme pain! 

“Chieftain, chieftain Knives! What is happening?!"

“Scythe… I don't… I don't know AUGH!!!" 

The teen looked at Saber who ordered her to not make a sound. 

As she went back to spying on the two warriors, they both exploded blood gushing as their extremities fell to the ground. The remains coalesced into a new form, a dark one. It proceeded to walk away to the west.

“Master, what was that?!"

“Proof that the rumor is a true girl." The leader of Three Rivers Pride said placing his paw on Naomi's shoulder.

“I don't understand." She said hugging him.

“Sabra Pride. Rather it is the death of the Sabra Pride. The skinwalkers just killed its chieftain and his minion."

“And I was just starting to like this area." The teen replied.

“Those foolish enough to follow whatever that is are next." Saber replied watching the new dark thing make its way toward Sabra Pride's village.

Now….

October 17th, YOE 35

6:56 AM Chaundoon (Perna Pride Village, Marble Canyons) 

Song pulled Kiwi to her. “Naka?"

The mid-level knight was silent for a long time as he considered what his superiors had said to him, the council's ruling on the matter and his own personal feelings.

“Naka Wolf, Song Chakat and you were made provisional warriors of this pride. Our fight is your fight." Shred said placing his paw on the wolf's shoulder. Stab did the same with Song as did Impale with Kiwi.

“Overwatch engage sidepods, and bring weapons online."

*Naka may I remind you that our orders were to return these warriors to their pride and not to involve ourselves with its affairs.* 

“Yes… yes because World Seven does not have any formal relations with any of the S'mar prides." Song added.

“Maybe not, but we do… this pride." Naka said turning to face his lover, and adopted son as well as the three S'mar.

The maned wolf scanned Perna Pride village again, there were a few spider corpses. But far more s'mar corpses and those were the ones intact and not in little bits.

“Kiwi co-pilot seat. You are on tactical." Naka ordered.

“Right." The brown haired pre-teen replied running to the passenger side of the blue coupe.

“Song, you are on medical. Shred, Stab, Impale you are on defense." Naka said grinding his teeth."

“Fine." Stab said. “What about you?"

“I will be the harbinger of destruction." The maned wolf said sitting inside the cockpit behind the steering wheel.

The S'mar warriors watched as the side-pods emerged from both sides of the blue coupe.

“Very sneaky and deceptive." Impale added. “A hidden strike."

“Be that as it may…. we are the last hope for Perna Pride." Shred said as Song guided the warriors back to the trunk of the blue prototype.

“Alright everyone. Let's bring it." The mid-level knight ordered.

[MEANWHILE]

October 17th, YOE 35 

6:54 AM Free Counter Earth (Great Forest)

“Damn that sky ship is huge." I replied looking at the enhanced image on the dashboard of the upgraded blue coupe.

“That damn ship has members of the knight core aboard it- pet." My lady bear said steeling herself.

I know she was compartmentalizing the fear and terror she had experienced being abducted by the KLIS on our vacation a few years back. It came back into the forefront when Castle Wundagore and Castle Warwick were harvested.

“Alright let's see if this technologically superior species has a weakness."

*Side-pods engaged Commander Ursa.*

“Alright Overwatch let's throw everything we have at them!" The female brown bear growled.

Earlier…

October 16th, YOE 35 

9:59 AM Free Counter Earth (Castle Wundagore, World One)

Braylen said he didn't feel well. Idalia thought to herself as she went upstairs to check on her boyfriend. He was in the bedroom.

Carefully and quietly she entered. She found him in the large king-size bed they shared.

“Don't worry baby, I will take care of you." She said removing the covers. Underneath was Braylen and he wasn't wearing anything! Idalia felt his forehead. Well at least he wasn't burning up.

The black-haired voluptuous female thought for a moment, removed her clothes, put on her nightgown and joined her boyfriend. 

“I think I can heal you." She said climbing into bed and spooning him.

*groan*

Gently she pulled him on top of her. His head resting on her chest. 

*GROAN*

“You are feeling that bad Braylen?" Idalia asked as her boyfriend continued groan and moan in his sleep.

POOF!

Idalia looked down to see that she no longer had a nude man sleeping on her but a tan with white highlights malamute who was slightly taller than her.

Braylen was a were-canine? How long was he keeping that secret?!

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

(AW Damn! This was getting good!) I thought to myself as I answered the door to the lair.

“Naka, Dusty?" I said, greeting the wolves on the other side of the door.

“Good morning little human. Commander Ursa sent us to fetch you."

“She did?" I asked Naka.

“Yes. She had a feeling today was going to be a most difficult day for herself and if she flew into a rage because of it, she didn't want you here." Dusty replied.

“Hence you will be going on mission with us, understood?" The maned wolf said stoically.

(Well she did seem rather agitated this morning. I guess I now know why.) 

Yes sirs." I replied bowing to my beastial superiors.

“Good now get out of that loincloth." Dusty ordered me.

12:10 PM Free Counter Earth (Hidden Sex Dungeon, Entertainment District)

“The rumors are true- you are a good luck charm!" The grey, tan and white wolf replied seeing a hidden staircase emerge out of the office complex we were in. 

“Wow, what is this place?" I asked as I trailed the small contingent of knights secretly admiring their one piece blue with gold highlighted uniforms.

“You have never been in a place like this?" Dusty asked me.

“No sir." I replied as Naka looked on.

“It is a sex dungeon." The former knight from World Three replied.

“Get out!" The maned wolf said in disbelief.

“The grey bricks, metal bars, wooden tables and the leather restraints didn't clue you in junior?" The mid-level asked the junior-level knight. 

Naka shook his head no. 

“Untold things are performed in places like this." Dusty said shining a light from his wrist communicator as he led us inside.

“You are not sensing anything Alex are you?" Naka asked me.

“No sirs." I replied politely to my beastial superiors.

“Naaarf!" The grey, brown and white wolf commented.

“Sir?" Naka asked, coming to a dead stop.

“Well we found our missing person."

In front of us was Nigel Catalog, the latest human to go missing in World One. But not from the rebellion. He was sitting on what looked like a gold plated restraint box. His arms and legs were bound by chains connected to its underside. A ball gag was placed in his mouth. He was unresponsive.

“Is he?" I asked apprehensively.

“No. Passed out… from heavy, heavy usage." Dusty said inspecting the nude human.

He had sweat all over the upper portion of his body and semen all over the rest of him as well as scrape, claw and bite marks. Some beastials had used him to fulfill their sexual fantasies- ordering him to remain quiet, demure and submissive while they did what they wanted to him.

“We better have him checked out." Naka advised.

I ended up waiting outside in front of a boutique shop for the healers to respond. Shortly afterwards I was joined by Naka and Dusty.

“The poor bastard didn't know what hit him." The maned wolf commented.

“Oh?" I asked.

“He was running errands one minute and then the next minute he awoke inside there and was gang raped. He didn't get a good look at his attackers- he just remembered they had fur, tails and claws." Dusty replied.

“Another shortcoming of the empire's human control program." Naka added.

I looked at the two knights. 

“Using it for purposes other than what it was intended for." The maned wolf added. 

“Alex Winter, I order you to give our junior knight here a nice big hug." Dusty said to  me.

Without thinking, I complied.

“Whoa! Easy! There!" Naka said as he was taken aback.

“With great power you will have those who will abuse that power." The grey, white and brown wolf observed.

“Well at least your report will be easy to write." I replied. “Power to the pack."

“Yes. Alex, power to the pack. You can stop hugging junior now."

“I will notify the commander." Naka added.

“Negative."

“Sir?" 

“Remember she and the other commanders are in that big meeting with the high master?"

“Oh yeah to be a fly on the wall there!"

“Now that you mentioned it, my mistress did seem rather agitated this morning." I said to the two wolves.

“The High Evolutionary has that affect on his subjects. Naka what are you doing?!"

“The commander has her communicator channel open!"

(Ok my she beast was more than agitated that morning she was really, really nervous.)

12:44 PM Free Counter Earth (Castle Sevren Meeting Room, World Three)

“Commander Ursa, Commander Rhinox, Commander Keiko, Sir Wolf and Acting Commander Ignatius can someone explain to me why we are letting the KLIS continue to attack MY cities?!" The High Evolutionary asked his subordinates.

The leaders of the knight core were assembled around a round mahogany table looked downward at their paws as the super human in the weird red/black suite with the blond hair and trimmed beard walked around the meeting room.

“Sir, their technology is far superior to anything we have within the empire." The lizard replied nervously.

“All weapons we have at our disposal are useless against them." The wolf replied pilling on.

“Sir we are at a extreme disadvantage- we can't confront, fight or defend against them." The rhino acknowledged.

“So we are at their mercy- cattle awaiting to be slaughtered. UNACCEPTABLE!!" The beastials' high master said circling the table.

“Sir, we are trying our best." The female gorilla seated next to the bear said.

“NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I molded you into the ultimate life forms within your respective species. Do not make me doubt your superiority."

“Sir Ram…" The she bear started to say.

“Sir Ram what?"

“He has been working on a method to detect the KLIS' movements." Commander Ursa stated.

“And?" The High Evolutionary asked turning his attention to the nervous female brown bear.

“In the hope of developing an early detection/warning system for the five cities." Commander Ursa responded.

“That is all?!"

“Yes master."

“Listen and listen well my creations… YOU will find a way to detect these interlopers, YOU will find a way to defend against their attacks, YOU will rescue those that have been taken and YOU will destroy the aliens. I do not care how it is done as long as it is done. THIS I COMMAND!!!"

Now….

October 17th, YOE 35 

6:56 AM Free Counter Earth (Great Forest)

A black cloud of smoke emanated from where the triangular ship had been struck with the weaponry of the blue prototype.

“Alex, tell me you have some good news." My fierce ursine warrior pleaded.

I checked the readouts from the probe on my monitor. “I am sorry mistress, we might as well be tickling them."

As the smoke started to dissipate, the triangle black ship was still hovering over the forest staring at us menacingly.
