World Three: Tough But Lonely Space Chick

Zerrex had guessed the first time he'd stepped into these supposedly-virtual, but strangely-real worlds, he'd end up being the target of some nasty creature. What he didn't expect was that when his good luck with avoiding calamity went down the drain, it meant that when he did run into a problem, it was not a scuffle, an ogre, or a pissed-off boyfriend: it was what seemed like a war. And of course, this war just had to occur on a ship. In space.

The Drakkaren stared back and forth in horror from where he'd emerged next to a broken combat armor device of some sort: something far more sophisticated than the Drakkaren had ever seen in his own world. He peered anxiously around it, watching as strange, lobster-like creatures that were also faintly draconic charged across the room, howling and firing lasers from strange weaponry that could only be described as alien, while other aliens â€" odd beings with no muzzles and no tails â€" fought back with what looked like automatic rifles that fired either lasers or plasma instead of bullets.

Most of the soldiers that were fighting back the strange aliens were dressed in black armor from head to toe, while the other creatures had all sorts of different equipment and weaponry, but most of them were smaller, or at least scrawnier, than the troopers, and many of them were equipped with shields and either a large claw-blade on the wrist or some sort of cannon attachment so they could fire back at the soldiers. They weren't very organized, and Zerrex thought the ones giving the orders on that side of the group were mostly the biggest and meanest... and then the reptile looked out a window nearby and felt a wave of nausea roll through him at the sight of space outside and ships flying by, firing lasers at each other. This is way too far out for me.

He shook his head, then watched as another figure leapt forwards, firing balls of plasma into the creatures near him: he was outfitted in heavy red and yellow armor, but one forearm was taken up entirely by some sort of green cannon that fired the plasma... and then Zerrex watched in surprised amusement as the cannon fired a missile at a larger creature of some sort that attempted to charge, and one of the beast's legs were blown out, toppling it before the armored supersoldier set itself and the cannon seemed to glow enough to be seen at this distance, and a moment later a larger sphere of energy blasted into the creature's boarlike face and removed most of its head.

"Interesting." Zerrex hesitated for a moment, wondering which side to trust: both were alien to him, but with a look to where the creatures were flooding from, he realized that the stranger beasts were attacking through a large gap that had been blown in the wall, and that it looked like they were somehow being fed in from an attacking ship outside. Zerrex frowned slightly as he walked more into the open... and a trooper in black armor stared at him a moment before he was shot down by one of the weird creatures, and the thing screamed and leapt at him next, raising one of its large, lobster-claw hands-

The reptile twisted to the side as he slammed a leg out in a vicious snap-kick, and the creature blocked it with a forearm before hissing in obvious pain, stumbling from the power of the blow before Zerrex stepped forwards and slammed an open palm into the alien's chest. The creature was sent flying through the air with a shriek, and immediately, Zerrex felt at least fifty pairs of eyes glance over to him, and the Drakkaren winced before diving as several of the aliens fired at him, scooping up the fallen soldier's assault rifle in the middle of the roll and landing in a kneel to fire off several shots into the horde of creatures surging forwards as some alarm began to blare â€" in the reptile's opinion, just a touch late.

He quickly jumped to his feet and strafed to the side, avoiding fire from either side and hating how disorganized the battle lines were before he fired several shots into a charging alien, and the creature was knocked sprawling with a shriek, spasming on the ground as two more of the odd beings ran past, these ones wearing some sort of heavier armor and carrying larger weapons. As one of them took aim, Zerrex ran forwards, and before it could fire or the partner could react, he slammed the stock of the rifle into the face of the aiming alien before twisting the gun hard to the side to smash the body of the gun into the features of the other, and it stumbled, its face bleeding some strange substance before the Drakkaren blew its head off with a point-blank shot from the rifle.

He grinned slightly, then winced as the ship rocked and a terrible roar filled the air, the strange aliens shrieking and the black-armored extraterrestrials running in all directions. Zerrex snarled, then he looked up in surprise as the alien in the weird red-and-yellow armor ran towards the other side, blasting the fleeing invaders as they fired over their shoulders while retreating, and the Drakkaren grit his teeth before following quickly, leaving what he guessed was some kind of storage area and entering a long, wide hallway full of shutters that had been blasted through. The reptile could feel a distinct chill in the air and a strange, sucking wind pulling him towards one side of the ship, but thankfully, both feelings passed; he just hoped he wouldn't have to deal with explosive decompression on top of everything else, with how shaky the ship seemed.

He ducked under a last broken shutter at the end of the long hall just in time to see two space invaders blown off their feet from an explosion, as more of them boarded what looked like weird ships with the word: ‘FEDERATION' in bold white across the black hulls, and somehow Zerrex didn't think they were their ships. That meant they were space bandits of some sort... or maybe the term was space pirate. But what interested him most at the moment wasn't the pirates, but the red-and-yellow armored soldier, who was standing and facing a gigantic, bluish-purple scaled monstrosity with sinister, glowing yellow eyes and a huge, fanged maw.

It hovered in the air by the means of massive, demonic wings, the body emaciated and vaguely draconic, but its head was more like a pterodactyl's and its tail was long, segmented, and ended in a cruel spade. It had long arms and dexterous-looking hands, and strong legs ending in vicious talons... and both it and the armored soldier were glaring at each other, the soldier featureless but for the V-shaped green visor across its helmet, but he could feel the anger emanating from him from his pose, one hand gripping the forearm cannon and holding it steady as the creature gave a howling, demonic roar down at the soldier.

Without warning, it suddenly dived forwards, but the soldier was fast to fire off a blast of plasma, the sphere larger than a beachball and moving fast... but the dragon-thing was faster, dropping to all fours and bending its body like a cat to lay almost flat against the ground before pouncing forwards and grabbing the soldier by the head to slam his head down against the floor, pinning him beneath his weight. The armored trooper tried to get his cannon against the beast's side, but they had apparently danced this dance before, since immediately the draconic beast pinned the arm ending in the threatening-looking gun with one large foot, before it rose the free hand it had, likely to deal a finish blow... and Zerrex made a face before raising the rifle and firing a burst of shots into the creature's side.

It screamed, and Zerrex didn't think it was in pain, somehow, from what looked more like blister-marks than mortal wounds, and its eyes turned to him as it loosened its grip... and by some miracle of technology, suddenly the soldier rolled up into a ball no larger than a basketball, rolling quickly backwards and producing some sort of glowing orange sphere... and the dragon-beast looked down at this in surprise for a moment before the sphere exploded, knocking the monstrosity stumbling before the soldier uncurled and grew back to normal size at the same moment, leaping backwards with the cannon raised and firing a volley of shots into the creature's chest.

The dragon being howled in fury and pain, flying high into the air before circling through the mostly-empty hangar and working their way back to them, as the soldier motioned at him to get out of here... and Zerrex gave him a flat look before turning his attention back to the beast, and his eyes widened as the dragon-thing shot towards them at incredible speeds, spitting fireballs that exploded with tremendous force as they struck the ground some dozen feet away. It was more than enough of a warning for the reptile to dive out of the way of the next fireball, however, as the soldier fired several homing missiles from the cannon that gave chase to the creature, but the dragon easily performed a wide barrel roll that confused the missiles and caused them to crash into each other before it dived straight towards the armored trooper and bodily tackled him, knocking him to the ground and sending him skidding into the wall.

Zerrex leapt up and ran towards the soldier, but before he made it a meter, the dragon dropped on top of him like a stone and kicked him flat into the ground with both feet, sending a wave of agony through the Drakkaren's body as he crashed into the cement hard enough to crack it, the dragon-beast still perched upon his back and howling what sounded like laughter. He couldn't move, pinned beneath the creature, only able to wait for it to hurt him more or give him a chance to escape... and then the dragon was blasted off him by a sphere of energy that slammed into its face and knocked it flat onto its back.

Zerrex kicked up to his feet with a grunt, and then his eyes bulged as he was donkey-kicked a good twenty feet by the dragon thing, the soldier ducking as Zerrex flew over his head before he crashed and rolled another ten or so feet into a large metal crate. For a few moments, he lay sprawled and dazed, then he rolled up to his feet and rubbed slowly at his skull, looking bad-temperedly over his shoulder at the draconic beast as pain throbbed through his body. He muttered to himself as he watched it take to the air again, the soldier looking frustrated as he fired almost randomly after the creature, before he ran forwards as the dragon shot out of the air and viciously slashed a claw across the soldier's breastplate, crumpling it before the beast brought both legs up to kick him hard across the room, and Zerrex saw the fizzle of electricity travel over the suit from the force of the blow before the reptile leapt forwards and snagged the prehensile tail of the demonic creature.

It looked over its shoulder at him with surprise, and then Zerrex twisted around and yanked as hard as he could, roaring as he jerked the beast up through the air before slamming him hard down as his muscles bulged powerfully, and the creature gave an almost comic noise before it slammed hard down into the cement floor of the hangar, impacting with enough force to send a webwork of cracks out around its body. The lizard snorted at this, wiping sweat off his forehead and patting dirt from his chest as he muttered: "Take that, asshole."

The dragon managed to get its head up, snarling at him, but when it tried to kick him, the Drakkaren threw a punch forwards, and he heard the loud, somehow-soothing sound of the creature's heel shattering as it squeaked... but before Zerrex could enjoy his victory, the beast's mouth glowed red before it spat a fireball at him, and it exploded in a great burst of heat and flame, sending the reptile flying backwards before he landed on something metallic and painful, and the soldier skidded beneath him before he rolled off the armored trooper with a groan.

The male immediately leapt up to his feet, charging forwards as Zerrex heard the distinct sound of something charging, and he sat up to watch as the dragon leapt up and flew forwards itself, moving somewhat unsteadily due to a damaged wing: just before impact, however, the soldier fired a blast of plasma, and the sphere hit the draconic creature full-on and sent it flying through the air with a howl of fury and agony before it hit the ground, bouncing awkwardly several times as it rolled towards the shielded open doors leading out into space... and a moment later it passed through some sort of invisible field and floated out into the nothingness of space, flailing furiously as it quickly vanished into the distance.

Zerrex climbed up to his feet, looking out the open hangar and making a bit of a face before he looked over at the soldier as he fell to one knee, and the reptile approached him quickly, putting a hand on his back as he knelt by him. The soldier was wrestling with his helmet, trying to pull it off... and Zerrex reached up and grasped it, carefully pulling the dented metal headpiece free as he muttered: "Dear Gods, you two did a number on each other..."

"Ridley and I go back a long way." He... wait, wait wait wait. That's not a he. That's... "You didn't have to get involved, though. I haven't even seen you around the base... are you another bounty hunter?"

The Drakkaren was simply staring dumbly at the female, at her smooth skin, bright eyes, and long blonde hair, which was currently done up in a ponytail. She sighed, looking down to fumble with the cannon on her arm, then she winced as it fell away, sparking a bit, and she mumbled something about repairs before looking up at the Drakkaren mildly: "What is it?"

"I uh. I thought you were a guy." Zerrex said lamely after a moment, as the girl straightened, and she only tilted her head towards him with a dry look before the Drakkaren quickly bent down and scooped up her cannon and helmet, holding them awkwardly as he added embarrassedly: "Sorry. It uh. Yeah. Assumptions are bad, I know."

"It's alright. I get it a lot." the female said mildly, then she shook her head slowly and extended her hand, adding: "My name is Samus Aran. I guess I should thank you for helping me out."

"Zerrex Narrius." The Drakkaren took her hand and shook it, smiling slightly down at her: she was only a few feet shorter than he was, and she was admittedly quite pretty. Far easier on the eyes than he was, anyway... and then he paused, looking out into space as he asked slowly: "So where am I and what is this place? I just... accidentally stumbled across it."

Samus sized him up for a few moments, and then she shook her head, a bit of a smile twitching at her mouth. "You're a bad liar, you know that? You tell me where you're from, and I'll tell you just where we are."

Zerrex rolled his eyes, trying to hide his look of embarrassment before his sharp eyes picked up a twitch from Samus, and he glanced down at her before his eyes searched her damaged armor, and he said quietly: "You've been injured. You should get that taken care of right away, who knows what kinds of gunk was on that freak of nature you shot down."

"I'm fine." the female replied stoically, shaking her head and making a face, and then she looked up at him sourly when he made a face back at her. "There's no point in wasting the medical bay's time, and they're probably still fighting off the Space Pirates in other sectors of the ship... in fact, I should probably get going and help them..."

"Right, you just want a change of subject." Zerrex said dryly, and then he walked past her, still carrying her helmet and cannon and causing her to stare before he added over his shoulder: "So where're you staying, then? We'll bandage you up there."

She only continued to look at him blankly for a moment, and then she strode up beside him, snatching her helmet out of his arms and putting that on first, then attempting to grab her cannon: Zerrex quickly held it up above her head, though, and he could almost see her expression of irritation as she said: "Give me that back. And even if I do have a quarters allotted to me on the ship, I should probably work to defend those. It doesn't look good when a bounty hunter hides behind Federation troops, after all."

Just as she was finishing her sentence, there was a loud beep and the alarms cut out, before a booming mechanical voice said: "Attention. We have successfully repelled the Space Pirate attack: all security forces are to remain on high alert while repairs are made and the ship undergoes a compartment-by-compartment search. Be advised that soldiers will be investigating area-by-area. All wounded are to report to the medical bay, where they will be attended to in order of severity. All other soldiers are to return to their normal scheduled duties."

The message began to repeat, and Zerrex looked over at Samus, bouncing the cannon in his hand before handing it down to her and saying in an amused voice: "Well, I guess you'd either better report to medical, or we can take care of that back in your room, assuming you've got some bandages."

Samus looked up at him for a few moments as she took it in one hand, favoring her other arm, and then she sighed after a moment, and he could almost sense the roll of her eyes beneath her helmet before she finally nodded, seeming to relent a bit easier than he'd expected her to. "Fine. I've got some medical supplies back in my quarters." A pause, and then she said quietly: "I don't see why you care all that much, though."

"We freaks have to look out for each other." Zerrex said mildly, the first thing that came to mind, and the two looked at each other before Samus grunted and nodded, beckoning for him to follow as she took the lead and headed back down the long hall.

It took them ten minutes to reach her quarters, and Zerrex had to wonder just how large the ship was, all things considered: her room was sparsely-furnished with only a bed and a dresser, but it was also larger than he expected, with its own little bathroom that included a shower and washbasin. There was also a television sitting in one of the corners of the bedroom, although currently it was hooked up to some small device that was displaying readouts, and it made Zerrex think of the weather channel â€" except, of course, that this covered most of the known universe and not just one planet.

Zerrex looked back and forth around her room curiously as Samus pulled the suit off in pieces, muttering about an electrical short until she was left standing only in a blue jumpsuit, which gave a more-than-decent view of her body despite the fact it covered everything but for her neck and head. The reptile found his gaze lingering on her for a few moments, before his eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms, asking him dryly: "Have you drooled over my body enough, or do you need to stare some more to make sure you've got every detail committed to memory? Because if so, you can go-"

"So are your ribs broken or just cracked?" Zerrex asked mildly, and Samus looked surprised for a moment before looking away awkwardly, and the Drakkaren continued quietly: "Either way, where's your bandages?"

Samus muttered, turning around and not bothering to try and hide the nasty-looking, hook-shaped wound that went from under one breast and up the side of her ribs, and she opened a drawer as the Drakkaren stepped over to her, glancing down into it at a roll of bandages and some other odds and ends. He looked over at her, then motioned for her to turn around, but she only looked up at him moodily... and the Drakkaren turned to her, saying mildly: "You know, I can't bandage you up through your clothes, anyway, so I'm going to see a lot more than your butt and the wounds you're trying to hide once that jumpsuit comes off."

"What?" Samus looked over at him with surprise, her eyes wide before she shook her head firmly, despite the fact the quick movement made her wince. "I don't think so, lizard. I don't let just anyone see me naked, and I definitely am not about to let you use my wounds as an excuse to see my tits and ogle my body."

Zerrex felt something was a bit off, as he looked at her evenly, at the way she was covering up not her breasts but the visible wounds in her body, and he thought for a moment about the paradox between the tightness of her jumpsuit but her refusal to act mature and take her clothes off for some reasonable medical care; maybe rules were different here, but he remembered in his own past plenty of times he and others had taken off various articles of clothing, if not all, in order to fix up wounds here and there with only the mildest of sexual connotations being tossed back and forth. For a moment, he wondered if she was taking him seriously... and then he looked over her beautiful face, before his eyes roved over the smooth jumpsuit, and he asked plainly: "Why don't you want to take that skin-tight suit off?"

Samus looked at him for a few long moments, some acidic remark obviously rising in her throat, and then it died down before she spoke in a quiet voice with a faint hint of shame: "I just don't."

There was silence for a few long moments... and then Zerrex looked down at his own body, feeling awkward and stupid as he traced a hand over one of the scars on his chest, and he looked up in surprise as Samus stepped a bit closer to him, watching the movements of his finger with strange intentness. The reptile frowned slightly, then he looked from his body to hers, before he felt a realization half-forming in his mind, and he murmured softly: "Scars are nothing to be ashamed of."

Samus froze, then she hung her head quietly and knitted her hands together, murmuring back in a stumbling voice: "But I... everyone thinks... sees my face and looks at me... as if I'm pretty, but they see my body... I... I'm not pretty at all."

"I think you're plenty beautiful." Zerrex responded in a quiet, chiding voice, and Samus looked up at him with eyes both grateful and hurt, before he smiled a bit and spread his arms, leaving his scarred body fully visible as he added softly: "Besides, you can't be any worse than an ugly bastard like me... after all, I looked pretty nasty even before I got my scars."

Samus laughed a bit, looking down awkwardly, then she sighed a bit as Zerrex gave her an imploring look, holding up the bandages. Slowly, she shuffled around in a circle on the spot, then she winced a bit as she undid the front flap of her jumpsuit, the sound of the zipper seeming incredibly loud in the otherwise silent room before Samus slowly unpeeled the suit from her body and carefully shrugged it down, a flush of embarrassment in her cheeks as she crossed her arms over her breasts and looked over her shoulder at Zerrex, the top half of the suit hanging down from her waist as she murmured: "See? And that's only my back..."

Zerrex's eyes traced over scars, some of them a weak orange that stood out from her pearly skin, others a stark white that gleamed oddly... and he took in long slashes and small gouges, a particularly-cruel looking pair of scars forming a wicked ‘t' shape up near her left shoulder, near a bloody, new slash likely left from a bent plate of metal... and the Drakkaren closed his eyes. A moment later, he stepped forwards as Samus lowered her head a bit, and then he grasped her shoulders before she could pull her suit back on, the reptile murmuring quietly into her ear: "I don't think it takes away from your body at all... if anything, it adds to your body, Samus."

She looked up at him in surprise as she turned around, and Zerrex opened his eyes with a smile, nodding a bit down to her as he slid his hands down to grip gently into her waist... and she nodded slowly back after a moment, although her eyes were disbelieving: whether because of surprise or real disbelief, he didn't know. A moment later, she looked down and blushed a bit, trying to turn away, but Zerrex held her in place with a slight smile, glancing down at her naked, good-sized breasts before he looked back up into her eyes, saying teasingly: "I'm going to see those soon anyway, Samus, and a lot more of your body... you may as well remove the rest of the suit now so I can stitch that wound in your side."

"There's healing technology in the medical bay... no need for stitches..." Samus objected in a mutter, blushing a bit... but despite her protests, a moment later she sighed as Zerrex stepped back and crossed his arms, looking at her imploringly, and she grumbled before reaching down to peel the rest of her clothes off, revealing a small swathe of golden pubic hair and her nether regions, which she covered a moment later she found the Drakkaren's eyes roving down there, glaring at him even as she finished kicking off a leg of the suit. "Pervert."

"I am a dude. Besides, I was curious about an alien like you. I've never seen any of your species before." Zerrex replied mildly, and then he made a face at her look. "What? I'm serious."

"You must be from some backwater world, then... humans have multiplied all over the universe." She paused, then added quietly: "Then again, I'm not from Earth or one of the colonies, to be honest... I was raised by the Chozo... I... forget it, I shouldn't be talking about this anyway..."

Zerrex shrugged a bit, looking entertained as he dug in the drawer of odds and ends to produce a bent needle and some sort of tough black thread: whatever Samus might say otherwise, it seemed she was used to doing things the old-fashioned way herself anyway, whether because she didn't trust the medical engineers or just because it was sometimes faster to do it yourself than wait in some crowded room for a doctor or nurse to pay attention to you. "I'm happy to listen... I've never heard of humans or the Chozo, although Earth is what we call our own planet..." A pause as he reached out and carefully pushed Samus back to sit on the bed, the female looking at him in surprise before wincing as the reptile unabashedly poked a finger at the large gash under her breast. "Then again, I guess every species calls their planet ‘earth' in one way or another at some point in time, unless it's a colony..."

Samus muttered something, apparently trying to resist talking to him... but if the reptile knew one thing, it was that the person who fixed your wounds was someone you ended up talking to, whether you liked it or not. It was like a barber or groomer: for some reason, there was just a compulsion to talk.

So soon enough, Samus was talking, seeming unused to it at first, but then getting more into it as Zerrex worked diligently on her wounds, appreciating how easily the female forced her way through what he knew often stung like Hell as he took care of three larger wounds on her front and back before getting her to lay down so he could deal with a small but deep wound on her inner leg. They had ended up in a slightly-awkward position with Samus's leg thrown over the reptile's own as he sat between her lower limbs, and she had kept both hands locked over her crotch and talked with a bit of a greater blush, but she seemed to appreciate the reptile's professionalism despite his own slightly-reddened features, until he finally finished bandaging her thigh up with a sigh of relief, slipping out from between her legs. "There. Done."

The human looked down with surprise at him as the reptile put the thread, needle, and bandages back on top of the counter, and then she sat up, crossing her legs and looking at him awkwardly with a bit of a smile, saying after a few moments: "Thank you."

"It was my pleasure. I insisted, after all." Zerrex responded, then he rubbed the back of his head slowly as his eyes travelled over her front, over the scars and the bandages wrapped around her body beneath her breasts and over one shoulder... and his gaze lingered for a bit too long on her form before he shook his head and looked down, blushing slightly and mumbling: "Well, you're probably sick of me by now, so I'd better get going... somewhere... I just hope the Federation troops don't throw me in the brig or something-"

"Stay here." Samus almost blurted, and Zerrex looked at her with surprise before she cleared her throat, crossing an arm over her bust and saying in a more serious, more in-charge voice: "I mean, you should stay here, so you don't set off an alert. They might think you're either a bounty hunter or one of Ridley's goons. So... stay here. Besides, I should... check your wounds over, anyway. You... I was surprised you could stand up to Ridley."

Zerrex shrugged a bit, then he coughed when Samus stood up, unable to help himself from watching her hips switch back and forth as she walked past him, and then he realized stupidly she might be doing it just for him, from the way her hands were out to her sides instead of trying to cover herself up, despite the way she was blushing a bit... and then he blinked as she poked his muscular chest, saying mildly: "Now you have to take off your pants."

The Drakkaren grumbled something awkwardly, then he blushed a bit when she slammed a fist against his chest, glaring up at him: "Hey, I want some reciprocity for having to take my clothes off for you, you jerk. Besides, I'm sure you don't have anything I've never seen before."

"I have balls that are literally blue." Zerrex said stupidly, and Samus gave him a look for a few moments before she sighed and rolled her eyes, and the Drakkaren stepped away from her and mumbled as he stepped out of his combat boots, then carefully undid and pushed down his pants as Samus watched with her arms crossed beneath her breasts, no longer seeming nearly as modest as she'd been before. The reptile stood in just his boxers, absently trying to cover the bulge in them with both his hands, but she only tilted her head towards him, and the reptile sighed, looking morbid before he grasped the waistband of his underwear and muttered: "You're an even bigger bitch than Cherry can be..."

"Tell me about her." Samus invited absently, looking at him curiously before she stared as the Drakkaren pushed down his boxers, and the reptile felt a bit of awkward embarrassment as her eyes looked down at him before she snorted and looked up into his eyes, asking dryly: "So where you come from, is that normal?"

"Uh... not really." Zerrex said awkwardly, then he winced and stared as Samus reached out and gently grasped the underside of his large penis, seeming to marvel at its size as she held it up by one hand before the reptile squawked: "Hey, if you play with it, it's going to get hard!"

Samus looked up at him for a few moments, then she tilted her head towards him, asking mildly: "Do you think I'd mind that at all?" A pause, then she added in a quieter voice, seeming uncomfortable despite her controlled tone: "A loner like me doesn't find a lot of companionship... doesn't talk about her feelings, or act all girly, or get a lot of sex because she's too busy fighting, hunting, and travelling through the depths of space... alone. I know this is awkward, Zerrex, and I know I might be coming on a bit aggressive, but... if you would... since we've met and don't seem to mind each other... I could use some tending to, in ways other than just being bandaged up...

"I don't want to come across as a whore... but..." She stopped, then looked embarrassed at how long she'd been talking for as Zerrex continued to look down at her, the flaccid head of his shaft still lightly gripped in her hand, then she looked down at this before blushing further and dropping it, the thick meat swinging down to slap lightly against his leg and the thud attracting Samus's attention, her eyes barely able to stay off him as she murmured: "Sorry... I..."

Zerrex answered her by putting his hands on her shoulders, gripping gently into them before they exchanged smiles, and a moment later he leaned down to kiss her softly. Their mouths met softly, and after a short second or so of surprise, Samus worked her mouth back against his with decided passion, lips working slowly and pleasurably together, her tongue sliding hesitantly forwards to explore the Drakkaren's maw as his own twisted gently and tenderly with hers.

Their mouths parted after a few moments, and the two looked at each other before Zerrex smiled slightly, the reptile bringing a hand up to stroke gently under her chin and tilt her head upwards to meet his eyes as he said softly: "I can understand a certain need for companionship... and I think it's something I'd be honored to provide for you."

"Then shut up and let's see what we can do for each other." Samus took one of his hands, pulling him over to the bed with a teasing grin up at him, then she gently pushed him down into a sitting position, their eyes meeting before she grunted in surprise as Zerrex grabbed her and firmly pulled her around to sit in his lap, the female shuddering slightly as she felt herself grind down against his flaccid shaft. "Hey, what are doing?"

"Just getting you into a good, relaxed position..." Zerrex replied in a teasing voice, meeting her eyes with an impish twinkle in his own. Slowly, he slid a hand down her stomach as he brought the other up to grasp a breast, and Samus released a soft sigh of pleasure before she let her head drop forwards as Zerrex slid two large fingers down the lips of her sex, a bit of a blush rising in her cheeks as he added softly: "We all deserve some special attention now and then, after all..."

Samus gave a sigh of pleasure in response, rocking her hips lightly forwards in response to the Drakkaren's fingers rubbing against her vagina, which had gone long untouched by anyone other than herself for so long that the simple contact was enough to make her feel a surprising amount of rising erotic heat flow through her veins. She fidgeted a bit, pushing herself back against Zerrex's muscular, large body lightly as he rubbed in slow circles with two fingers over her crotch, and then she slid her hands back to grip gently into his hips as her back rested against the lizard's strong front, her buttocks pressing lightly down into the reptile's crotch.

The feeling of her body pressing against him was wonderful and sensual, the sensation of her alien form strangely arousing for some reason as he slowly squeezed into a breast while his other hand continued to tease lightly over her labia, keeping her held close against his powerful body as he leaned down to kiss slowly up her neck before gently nibbling on her earlobe, and she tilted her head away with a quiet grunt as Zerrex pressed a fingertip gently against her slit at the same time.

She rolled her hips gently forwards again, then she tilted her head away with a soft moan of bliss as Zerrex sank a single large digit into her body, and she closed her eyes in ecstasy as Zerrex leaned over her slightly, curling her a bit tighter to his strong body as the Drakkaren began to thrust it lightly in and out of her vagina, the male murring softly into her ear as he felt her vagina squeezing gently around his finger. Samus turned her head towards him, gazing over his features and then up into his emerald eyes, the reptile looking deep into her blue as he smiled slightly down at her, and then she stroked gently over his cheek before nestling close against his strong chest as Zerrex pushed a second finger down into her sex.

He worked them slowly back and forth, moving slowly and leisurely as he felt his own shaft slowly stiffening, the thick obsidian member pushing up along her buttocks as it grew steadily towards full erection. The female's eyes opened slightly in surprise at the sheer size of the growing member pressing against her back, but the heat emanating off the large shaft was strangely-pleasant as it pushed along her spine, and it mixed with the feeling of the thick fingers currently lazily thrusting in and out of her body in a way that was both sexual and oddly-comforting.

She bucked her hips gently forwards as the male's fingers started to move a bit deeper, sliding into her and sinking all the way to the knuckle now with every movement before the Drakkaren drew them free for a moment as he rolled Samus's breast slowly in his hand, and then he pinched the nipple gently, making her fidget slightly as the reptile toyed gently with the solid pink nub. A moment later, Zerrex gripped lightly back around the large swell, then he slid two fingers back into her vagina, pushing them deep for a moment before he drew them back to leave only the very tips of his fingers inside of her.

He added a third digit after a moment, then slowly sank all three into her sex, causing Samus to moan quietly again as she felt herself being gradually stretched before the reptile's fingers sank in to the hilt, her passage hot and gripping around his fingers and the lips of her sex slick with the juices that had begun flowing in her vagina. The reptile gave a slight grin at the feeling, thrusting his fingers almost torturously-slowly in and out of her vagina as he felt himself reach his full erection, his large shaft pulsing as it ground lightly against her back and her shapely buttocks.

Zerrex felt one of her hands grip tight into his waist as her other hand slid down to massage along the male's thigh, the female breathing a bit harder and occasionally giving small, quiet sounds of bliss at the light, continuous movements of the Drakkaren's fingers in and out of her sex. Her body twitched occasionally here and there, as if she was doing her best to resist responding to the reptile's more-than-teasing as his fingers moved skilfully, touching lightly against her sensitive areas as his other hand moved to her other breast, fondling it slowly before he began to lightly tease the nipple to send her pleasure skyrocketing.

"It's just been so long..." Samus breathed, and then she grit her teeth to try and muffle a loud moan, her hips rocking a bit harder as she felt the reptile rub against her g-spot, sending a twist of ecstasy through her. "Goddammit..."

"Don't be embarrassed, now... I'm here to please, after all, and it sounds like you're in definite need of... release..." Zerrex murmured into her ear softly, and the female grunted something at him that could be either frustration, need, approval, or all three. In any case, the reptile's response was simply to speed up the movements of his fingers slightly, thrusting them firmer in and out of her tight sex.

Samus's own hips rocked a bit in return with every movement, the Drakkaren murring lightly as he nibbled teasingly along her neck, and the female grunted quietly before releasing another moan of pleasure as a shiver of bliss went through her body, as the reptile slid his hand away from her bosom to wrap his arm around her form. He held her back against him, his huge shaft grinding into her back as he licked teasingly along the outside of her ear, and Samus blushed a bit as she groaned softly at the same time, her long hair falling over her eyes before she closed them and leaned forwards with a deeper blush as a louder moan rolled out of her mouth.

Her hips bucked a bit harder as Zerrex worked his fingers firmly in and out of her vagina, and then she lowered her head with another sound of pleasure and half-embarrassment as her orgasm hit from only the light teasing and the feeling of the strong male's body so close, the thought of being with a strong male again so tantalizing that it multiplied the pleasure... and of course, the sheer size of the male's fingers helped, too. It was more than enough to send her over the edge, her sweet release spilling down her long passage as it contracted tightly against the Drakkaren's fingers as the male pushed them deep into her, making slow, short thrusts with them as he held her tightly back against his body with the other.

After almost two minutes, her hips ceased their bucking and she slowed to a halt, breathing hard as Zerrex hilted his fingers into her before slowly drawing them free, drenched in her slick liquids, and the reptile smiled slightly as he licked his muzzle before gazing down at her with soft entertainment, asking in a half-playful, half-lustful voice: "So is that the kind of thing I can expect to get when I thrust myself in? Because it certainly seems like at least your body is eager for more..."

"Very eager... but I thought you were going to let me call the shots?" Samus asked, grinning as she tilted her head back to look up at the Drakkaren, and they traded a short kiss before she watched as the reptile rose his fingers to his muzzle, slowly suckling her nectar off them before licking teasingly along one digit, and then he held this out to her... and she gladly took it into her mouth, half-lidding her eyes up at him as she sucked on it for a moment before giving him a teasing nip. The lizard growled playfully as he drew his hand back, and then Samus managed to twist her body around, pressing her wet, hot lips against the thick ebony member of the reptile and wrapping her arms around his neck as he looked down at her with surprise. "I'll make a deal with you, Zerrex... you treat me nice... and I'll treat you nice."

The large male nodded, gazing down at the human with entertainment as he let his hands slide back to grip teasingly into her rear, and Samus rolled herself slowly against his shaft as she reached a hand out to begin stroking the large cock gently and leisurely, before the reptile asked with a slight smile: "Seal our deal with a kiss?"

She looked amused at this, but then she leaned up, and their mouths met again, sharing another slow, wonderful kiss as she gripped lightly into his shaft, rolling her hips against his large obsidian member as the Drakkaren ground himself gently forwards against her. Her legs wrapped around his waist tightly as she pressed her scarred form forwards, and then the kiss broke as she breathed softly against his chest, stroking a hand over his muscular breast and sandwiching his girthy cock between her form and his chiseled front as she murmured: "You make me feel like I could stay like this forever, Zerrex... I get the feeling it's more than just both our bodies that are scarred, after all..."

"And yet you're still so beautiful... and both talented and heroic, from what I saw." Zerrex stroked her face gently, then he hesitated for a moment before slipping his hand into her hair and carefully removing the tie that was holding it up in a ponytail, sending her long golden locks spilling down over her shoulders. She smiled, though, and then Zerrex pushed both his hands through her long hair before he leaned down and kissed her again, more aggressively this time, and she ground her hips forwards and kissed eagerly, greedily back before she leaned forwards and pushed him firmly backwards.

The reptile fell back onto the bed, their kiss breaking in mid fall as he felt her drag her slick sex slowly forwards over his solid obsidian shaft, and the Drakkaren reached up to grasp her hips... but she shook her head slightly before turning around with a grin over her shoulders before she got up in a squat, saying playfully: "I do have to admit you're a good size... so you better let me... work at my own pace..."

Zerrex grinned widely in return as he realized what she meant, and he grasped the base of his thick shaft, guiding it to point up towards her, and Samus gave a soft sound of pleasure before she lowered herself slowly, not directly onto the shaft, but instead letting the bulging head grind slowly up her labia. She rolled her hips slowly, rubbing her sex tauntingly against it, and the simple movement drove Zerrex's senses wild as he growled in pleasure, letting his head fall back and his eyes mostly-close in bliss.

Samus rubbed her palm slowly along the rounded head of the male's thick cock as she kept it against her moist vagina, teasing her fingers along the glans before she gripped gently into the shaft just under the head of the large penis, and then she took a deep breath before slowly pulling it forwards, slipping the solid member between the lips of her sex with a quiet groan, a thrill of pleasure rolling down her spine as she felt it penetrating into her, before she rested a moment with the large head of the male's cock buried into her sex, already feeling incredibly stretched with only that inside of her. She breathed slowly, her legs trembling a bit, and then she groaned quietly as she began to lower herself inch-by-inch deliberately down his penis, the shaft feeling humongous buried inside of her long-ignored body, making every movement both a cruel penitence and an incredible indulgence.

Inch after inch vanished into her, a single tear leaking down her face as her teeth grit, her features flushed as she forced herself down the huge rod, and Zerrex panted softly, watching her with both sympathy and admiration as she took on his length without complaint and barely a moan of pleasure or pain. To him, it was amazing, and he did everything he could to hold still beneath her despite the immense amount of pleasure pulsing through his body at the thrill of taking the almost virginally-tight female, putting his hands behind his head as he said encouragingly, in a voice that was tinged with lust: "You're doing a hell of a job... yeah...ooh, you can tackle this whole thing easy..." A long pause, and then the Drakkaren added in a softer voice: "But don't force yourself too deep, just in case..."

"No... I... I want all of it inside me... I want to feel all of you deep in me..." Samus replied between pants, and she groaned quietly as she forced herself down another few inches, the lizard's girth as much as his length making every movement difficult. Her blood dribbled down the male's huge shaft in several long rivers, her vagina stretched and her passage torn, and yet she had only covered half the length of the male as she shifted with several loud grunts to drop down on her knees, a shudder running through her body before she arched her back and released a loud moan of mixed bliss and agony.

Her moan turned into a half-cry, half-shriek as she suddenly dropped her weight and shoved herself downwards, and more than a quarter of the male's shaft ripped up into her body, leaving only a handful of inches left between her crotch and the reptile's as Zerrex arched his back slightly with a groan of pleasure, looking stupefied at the bliss that ran through him at the painfully-tight grip of the female's sex around his massive member. He looked up at her back, breathing hard, and then he reached a hand up to slowly rub along it in soothing circles as the female stared down at her bulging body, the shape of the male's cock easily visible. She slowly rubbed the bulge, wondering weakly how scarred her body was inside her, now... and then she lowered her head a bit, another tear leaking down her face before she cleared her throat and whispered shakily: "Help me with the last little bit, huh? I don't want to take all day..."

"Believe me... you can take as long as you need..." Zerrex replied, but Samus only looked over her shoulder pleadingly, and the Drakkaren nodded before he gripped gently into her hips, pleasure resounding through his form as he sat up slightly and murmured: "Even heroes need help sometimes... and Gods know how amazed I am at how much you managed on your own..."

Then, without further ado, the reptile pulled firmly down as he thrust upwards into her, and Samus arched her back with a shriek as her groin slapped loudly down into Zerrex's, the male grunting in pleasure as his body flexed and he felt their lower bodies pressed tight together before he relaxed and dropped back against the bed, and Samus leaned forwards slightly to push her hands firmly down into his legs, panting raggedly. Blood leaked out over the reptile's crotch, spreading slowly over his testicles and between the ridges of his abs, and Zerrex closed his eyes at the sensations of lust and pleasure that ran through his strong body as the female remained perched on his waist, letting her slowly adjust to the massive length buried inside her body.

Then, after several minutes, Samus slowly began to move up his shaft, moaning quietly as the reptile gripped gently into her hips, watching her scarred back flex before she dropped her weight and slid down, hilting herself in a slow, long movement, and the two released sounds of pleasure: Zerrex's a masculine grunt, Samus's a hiss of pain that turned into a long sigh of something like fragile, trembling bliss. Then she repeated the movements, beginning a drawn-out, long bouncing up and down his solid, thick shaft, Zerrex resisting the urge to thrust as best he could but unable to stop himself from at least grinding his hips upwards with every hilt of her body after her shove down, causing her to moan quietly at the end of each and every pass.

It was slow at first, but it was still more than enough to send an inferno of pleasure burning through the Drakkaren's body, the lizard breathing hard as he felt sweat rolling down his scales to mix with the blood leaking out around his thick cock. He grunted softly, making small thrusts now in time with the gentle bouncing of the female, careful to keep himself restrained even as Samus began to pick up speed and power, rocking her hips a bit more aggressively down against the lizard, the sounds she occasionally made now more often pleasure than pain, her breasts jouncing a bit with every bounce along the male's thick shaft.

Soon enough, however, Samus was moving with surprising strength up and down his girthy cock, the Drakkaren panting hungrily as he thrusted upwards into her body firmly. She was moaning almost constantly as she worked herself down along his huge member, creating a loud, fleshy slap with every drop of her body down his thick penis, and the Drakkaren felt both pleasure and pain himself from the sheer tightness of her vagina squeezing around his shaft and the stiffness of his obsidian member, a pulse travelling through his body as his lust grew greater and greater.

Again and again, she worked herself down his fleshy cock, her passage tightening around him as she arched her back a bit, feeling his member not only stretching her but grinding against all of her sweet spots, making her legs tremble and her body feel full of lust and bliss as well as pain, before her back arched as a sudden wave of need travelled through her and she felt herself clamping tight around the reptile's member, looking down in shock as she realized that she was already experiencing another orgasm, despite the pain that made her body feel like it was being rent in half.

She worked herself faster and harder down the huge shaft buried inside of her, her vagina clenching around the male's girthy penis as her lubricating juices burst down her passage, mixing with blood to pour out over the reptile's crotch and navy-scaled balls, the reptile grunting in surprise and passion as he automatically began to thrust faster in and out of her body, gripping tighter into her waist to work her harder up and down his malehood as she gyrated her hips and moved firmly up and down the reptile's penis at the same time, using the pain in her body to fuel her lustful search for pleasure as she arched her back and released a loud scream, her orgasm filling her body with bliss as her shriek let her pour her feelings out to the air.

Zerrex groaned, his sound vanishing into another cry from Samus as he slammed his thick cock up into her body over and over, the two moving in an untimed, chaotic jumble of bliss, pleasure spilling through both their forms as the female's orgasm continued to shake her body, before she let herself collapse back, her hair spilling around her and over the lizard's muscular form as the Drakkaren gripped tightly into her sides and looked down at her, and then the female looked up at him as she reached a hand up to stroke over her face slowly, saying hungrily: "And now it's your turn... fuck, I want to feel you release in me..."

"I thought you'd never ask..." Zerrex responded playfully, his eyes burning with passion, and then the reptile began a hard thrusting upwards, his hips rocking as he squeezed into her sides, and Samus cried out loudly as she looked down, watching as her sex was ravaged by the male's huge member, one of her hands grasping at her own crotch as the other wrapped around one of the reptile's powerful biceps as he slid his hand over her stomach to feel the movements of his huge cock buried inside of her through only a thin layer of flesh. It felt incredible, the Drakkaren gazing hungrily over her as he watched her hips rock firmly back against his thrusts, as she responded to his every movement... and then, as she opened her mouth to cry out again, it was muffled as the reptile lowered his own to kiss her passionately for the umpteenth time that night.

She cried out into his muzzle, then her eyes slid closed, continuing to moan even as they kissed, as she breathed his breath and their bodies moved together, urging him to pound her harder with his penis as his thrusts sped up slightly, making her body rock harder down with his powerful movements. The reptile could feel his climax quickly rising, however, and he felt no need to hurry it up any more, keeping his thrusts strong but only so fast as their forms spooned together, her breasts heaving on her chest and bouncing with every thrust as they continued to kiss and tease at each other's lips.

The kiss broke, and Samus released a moan as Zerrex curled forwards to lick at the slope of a breast before he mouthed it hungrily, and she clutched into his head as he slammed to the hilt and ground his member firmly against her stretched innards, making her cry out before the Drakkaren's mouth moved away from her now-slick breast with a loud groan, the male arching his back as he slid his hands down to grip firmly into her thighs, spreading her legs a bit further and beginning to thrust harder and faster in and out of her tight sex as he felt the blaze in his body become a supernova of pleasure as his shaft stiffened up even further inside of her body.

He pistoned himself in and out of her sex, grunting quietly with every hard thrust, the sounds mixing with Samus's hungry moans before her eyes bulged as the reptile began to thrust with even greater speed, slamming himself home every time to send up a splatter of blood and other juices as his pleasure reached an unbelievable level, the Drakkaren releasing a roar of bliss as he felt his first volley of seed blast deep into the female, and the human cried out in both ecstasy and pain herself, eagerly rocking herself as best she could as Zerrex's claws dug into both her hips and he continued to thrust with enough power to make her entire body shudder with every slam of his penis home. Burst after burst of his hot, white load fired into her body, seeming to make her bulge out even further as the reptile took long, speedy thrusts, and then he looked down with a surprised grin as Samus suddenly managed to anchor herself and shove herself upwards as she tilted her hips in the just the right way as the reptile drew his shaft backwards, and then he groaned as his penis slipped free at the last moment to release its last few sprays up over the female's stomach, the final volleys splattering over her stomach and breasts before the slick, wet cock slapped loudly against the female's stomach, Samus automatically gripping into it and stroking it firmly with both hands to milk a last spurt and the rest of the male's seed out of it, Zerrex groaning as he felt her slide back down his scaled front to rest with her torn, devastated sex resting just above the base of his cock, the thick head of his cock laying on her stomach and the reptile grunting as a shiver of pleasure ran through him at the feeling of the female's hands resting on the sensitive tip and the upper shaft.

She looked up at him with amusement, then she smiled slightly as Zerrex leaned down and licked a small line of his own seed from her features, before both their gazes travelled to the Drakkaren's bloody, seed-smeared penis, and then Samus said thoughtfully, a strange grin playing over her face: "You know... if I really wanted to show mastery over your cock... I'd probably have to show you that I can take it all the way up the ass, too, without wimping out..."

Zerrex's eyes widened in both surprise and delight at the idea... and although it proved difficult, Samus did indeed manage it with little screaming and a bit of help near the end from the Drakkaren. Afterwards, Zerrex had carried her to the bathroom and supported her against him as they'd showered and he'd cleaned her off... and to show his appreciation, he'd brought her to another orgasm by showing both of her stretched holes a bit of oral affection, something that had at first startled her, then sent her into a nearly-delirious euphoria.

They had towelled each other off and then gotten dressed, and Zerrex had rested on the bed when Samus said she had to leave for a few moments, simply relaxing and then reading through a book she'd left out on the table. She stumbled back in a few moments later, Zerrex admittedly amused by her awkward gait before he stared as she dropped some rations on the bed and said in an embarrassed voice: "Let's share a meal."

It had been quirky, friendly, and romantic in its own way, the two of them eating and talking a bit as they sat on the bed together... and then finally, they had shared a quiet kiss before Samus looked down, murmuring: "I dunno if I liked connecting with you or not... after all, all my associates tend to die, and it's been a long time since I had a friend. I don't want to lose you... and if you have to go soon... I want to still be able to see you. Somehow the idea of not knowing if you're dead or alive is worse than you being gone forever..."

"Then you come and see me sometime." Zerrex said softly, reaching a hand up to stroke her face gently, and she tilted her head before the reptile smiled slightly. "I like you. Hell, I admire you... and I know I'll certainly be coming back into this world sometime myself. But if you ever need me..." A pause, and then the reptile looked up, asking unabashedly: "Marina, how can she get out of here?"

Zerrex heard that strange buzz... and then Marina said thoughtfully in his mind: It seems like as it is, you've permanently modified every world you've touched... and... I... well, it's easier to show you. I'm going to open a portal out of there, and... you have my world you'll see her soon after you step through.

The Drakkaren nodded slowly after a moment, deciding to trust in his daughter, and then he looked across at Samus, who was looking at him oddly. "Sorry. Marina's just going to open a portal out of here for me, and she must have some kind of solution on how you could leave here yourself..." A pause, then the two looked over at the foot of the bed, watching as a rift slowly formed in reality, and Samus's eyes widened as Zerrex said mildly: "See? I'm not totally crazy."

"Apparently not..." Samus hesitated as the reptile stood up, then she reached out and caught his hand as he half-turned away, standing up quickly herself and looking into his eyes as she said quietly: "Promise me you'll see me soon."

"I promise." Zerrex stroked her long hair back, then he leaned down and kissed her forehead gently before their eyes met, and then the two shared one last, gentle kiss, drawing it out as their tongues moved together and their mouths worked against one another's before they finally, slowly parted, Samus stepping back and watching as Zerrex walked over to the portal, and then the reptile tossed her a last smile and a wave before he stepped into the swirling dark rift in reality, already missing the strange, alien female.
