Chapter 138: Beyond The Grief

Day 1033 (continued)

"Barran!" I shrieked.

"Six!" The naked donkey bleated.

"No, no, no, no, no!!!" Chemar screamed.

"Less screaming more rescuing!" The buck ordered assuming command. "Look for a release lever or switch!"

We quickly spread around the narrow room looking for something to free the owl warrior.

"I think I found it!"

As I pressed a button by the doorway, the glass cylinder dematerialized and the water within flooded the floor.

Chemar and Coal grabbed the fallen avian warrior carrying her out into the long hallway. Barran looked like hell. Her eyes were open, and her face was slightly swollen and like us she was naked.

"How is she?" I asked walking over.

"Drowned." Springer said checking for a pulse while Coal tried to resuscitate her. "The sentinel must have brought her here without her clothing and weaponry entombing her in that cylinder like it did to us."

"What about Mr. Now did it catch him?" Chemar said as the donkey was desperately trying to revive the fallen avian.

"There were two sentinels." I said grimly to the knights.

"Alex how do you know that?" Springer asked me.

I pointed to the two figures standing in front of the illuminated console at the end of the hallway.

The naked fennec who had captured Chemar, Coal, Springer and myself was standing next to the handsome owl who had most likely captured Barran.

They have escaped. The male owl said to the fennec.

Impressive, none of our prey have ever escaped. Feleen said.

They are very cunning indeed. Nathan added.

"I think they are going to attack..." The cheetah trembled.

"ALEX!! CHEMAR!!" Springer yelled pointing at the sentinels.

"But how? We don't have our weapons or anything else for that matter." The cheetah said to the buck.

"IMPROVISE!" Springer said as he started helping Coal with chest compressions.

"It would not be a good idea to let them touch us- we might wind up back in those cylinder- chambers." I said to the nervous knight.

"The console. I if I could just get to the console..." Chemar said.

"I will draw their attention when you see an opening make your move."

Slowly we walked past Springer and Cole who were desperately trying to revive Barran toward Feleen and Nathan. I took the lead, Chemar was standing behind me with his paws on both my shoulders.

I hoped that he was focusing on the task at hand and not looking at my ass.

"Say Feleen, Nathan- how's it going? I was thinking what if I did decide to switch sides? Can I join the rebellion today? I mean what is required for membership?"

The two sentinels looked at each other and disappeared- briefly before reappearing right in front of me. As they did, I tapped Chemar on his paw and the nervous lithe cheetah darted toward the illuminated console at the end of the hall as fast as he could run.

It is too late for you and the others little human. The nude fennec said staring directly at me.

You will not be allowed to leave this facility alive. The male owl added as he and the fennec started to rapidly fade away.

*CLICK*

"Actually it is too late for you." I grumbled.

"Good work specialist! I think I managed to not only shut them down but all of TRUTH's defenses."

"You weren't so bad yourself!" I said hugging him. "That takes care of the security."

There was an awkward pause as we both looked down and realized we were touching each other. If we were clothed, it wouldn't have been such a big deal.

(Awkward!)

"Ah, Springer! Coal!" Chemar asked ending our embrace.

"She is gone." The donkey said. "I couldn't bring her back."

(Oh no!)

"She tried desperately to escape before she drowned." Springer said dejected.

That evening another mission I was on had gone side-ways. The knights had gained access to the rebel relay station which they would use to their advantage. But it had come at a high cost. Barran (Six) leader of the rebel hunters who was obsessed with bringing down the rebels that annihilated her former team, had lost her life.

"What are we going to do now?" I asked as Coal closed the fallen warrior's eyes.

Coal looked at Springer and then Chemar.

"We complete the mission. She would have wanted that at all costs." Springer said. "Chemar learn as much as you can about that console."

"And us?" The donkey asked.

"We need to find the exit, get topside and get our clothing back." The buck said.

I followed the naked beastials as we rechecked each of the rooms off of the long hallway looking for the way out. (Admiring their backsides in the process.)

This place whatever it was, had been here a while. In several of the rooms we found remains of beastials who were unfortunate to run into the facility's sentinels.

"Disgusting." Coal said staring at the decomposed remains in one of the glass cylinders.

"I think Feleen got them." I said to the donkey and buck. "They died smiling."

"Looks like this place was setup to run by itself, remote isolated and automated." Coal said entering another room off of the hallway.

"I think, the sentinels for this place were programmed to go after beastials only. Not humans." Springer said as we found a staircase.

"Which means that the TRUTH rebels are second class citizens- disgruntled ones and they very much wanted to keep this place a secret." Coal added.

"This has to be the exit." I said to my companions. "As much as I love seeing you guys in the nude, the reverse isn't true."

"Negative little human." Our acting leader said to me.

"Springer?" I asked as the deer grabbed my hand.

"Coal and I will go topside; there still may be non-automated defenses. Go keep Chemar company."

I watched the two knights enter the stairwell before returning to check up on the nervous cheetah.

"What did you find?" Chemar asked as I rejoined him.

"The remains of hikers and campers who got too close to this place."

"Anything to cover up with?" He asked me.

"Negative." I said. "Springer and Coal found the exit so we will just have to wait for them."

"I am pretty sure I deactivated all security devices in the facility." Chemar said. "We shouldn't have any further trouble."

"That is nice, but how do we know that our visit here didn't alert the enemy to our presence Chemar?"

"We don't." He stared at me trying not to look down.

Twenty minutes later Springer and Cole returned with our clothing and gear. They laid Barran's uniform and gear next to her remains.

Springer contacted castle Wundagore and spoke to Sanda and Lord Tiger about what had happened. Obviously they were saddened about the loss of life.

It took roughly an hour before backup arrived, but boy did it ever! The empire's chief scientist and product developer arrived to explore the facility.

"Sir Ram?" I asked as the evil beastial examined the lifeless body of the leader of the Rebel Hunters.

"No boy she had the life crushed out of her; there is nothing anyone can do."

"She was a valiant warrior who believed in her cause to the very end. I will miss her." The wicked goat lady said.

Chemar and Coal kept watch while Springer, accompanied Sir Ram and I accompanied Mara as they examined, cataloged and mapped the relay station.

"Yes this is a major, major find boy." The goat said to me. "The sentinels that guarded it are quite sophisticated- holographic in nature they can assume any shape or form like the holo-projector in the prototype in order to lure, deceive or misdirect those who got too close this site."

"And when they get too close?" I asked.

"You have seen the results. They capture and kill interlopers through a variety of means, hypnosis, drowning, gas and suffocation. Quite devious."

"What about the signal?" I asked Sir Ram's main squeeze.

"Yes this site is indeed a relay for the signal that took over autonomous hover vehicles." The wicked goat lady said. "It will take some time to find where the signal originated, but this will be a big help."

Afterwards I joined Sir Ram and Springer who were examining all the remains of the Feleen's and Nathan's other victims.

"This couple died of asphyxiation. The he beast said looking at the skeletal remains of two rabbits in the glass cylinder. They appeared to be campers and this wombat family were hiking when the sentinels caught them."

"Caught and drowned them Springer." The big horned sheep said correcting the buck. "That canid group over there were gassed." The big horn sheep said regrettably.

Day 1034

The next morning Springer, Chemar, Coal and I sat in on a special meeting with the High Evolutionary (via remote) and the senior knights in their private meeting room. All present were in their knight uniforms - except for yours truly.

"My condolences to the families of the fallen." The master and ruler of all Counter Earth said. "And to Barran's team a special commendation."

"Sire we have studied this location in detail." Sir Ram said standing up as Lord Tiger, Lady Vermin, Sanda and my mistress looked on. "It is a relay station for the signal that corrupted automated hover vehicles this past summer."

"Sir Ram, what is the status of the signal now?" The dictator asked.

"It has been shut down sire." The evil he beast said.

"You mentioned that the site was automated. Do we know if any alarms were sent once the Rebel Hunters were captured?"

"That remains unclear sire." The big horned sheep admitted. "But I don't think so."

"That would be useful information to know. Were there other alarms that were sent when the other victims were caught?" The master said stroking his well trimmed beard.

"If there were, they were ignored sire because of the bodies that were stored there." Sir Ram said.

"We are preparing to have the site deconstructed." Lord Tiger added.

The beastials' master sat down on a chair and thought for a minute longer. "No." He said as Coal, Springer, Chemar and I looked at each other. "This is a major find. Reactivate this site. I want it to appear as nothing has happened there at all."

"Master?" Sir Ram asked.

"Continue to study it and learn its secrets." The dictator ordered. "I want to know if this place is more than what it appears to be- like a secret communications relay for the rebellion."

"And if it is?" Lady Vermin asked.

"Then I have plans for this site." The High Evolutionary smiled quite darkly.

That afternoon the Lord Tiger sent a small team back to the relay station in the Great Forest to reactivate it. The team spent the rest of the weekend studying it and learning its secrets. The sentinels were modified to be nonlethal and to accept the intrusion from the knight core. Feleen was reprogrammed to personally entertain those who were working there.

(I bet she did.)

Day 1038 (Afternoon, Theater District)

"Coal do you have a visual?" I asked the donkey as we looked down from our vantage point in a vacant building above the theater district.

"Not yet." The junior knight said to me.

"So we wait." I said kneeling on the floor. "So do you think the rumors are true?"

"Yeah, I think Sir Ram and Mara found something interesting at that rebel relay station. Something that is going to devastate the rebellion, but they wanted very much test it first." The junior knight said.

"I hope they did. It means Barran did not die in vain." I said staring around the small room. I guess at one time this must have been a storage closet or something like it despite the window.

(Wow, stakeouts are so much fun when you have nothing but time.)

"Say Alex I thought of a joke after our nude mission last Friday." Coal said to me.

(Why are donkey's penises the same color as their manes?)

"You want to hear it?" He asked me as I fixated on a crack in the floor.

"We have time, go ahead and tell it."

"What is the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts?" Coal asked me.

"Ok, you got me- what?"

"Beer nuts are $2.50. Deer nuts are under a buck."

It took me a moment to realize the punch line, but when I did, it was really funny.

"So true. And our resident buck despite having a small penis, is quite trim, fit and he has that heart shaped pattern on his butt."

"You mean a cute heart shaped pattern that runs the length of both his cheeks, don't you?" Coal said teasing to me. "Admit it! You wanted to touch it!"

(Well...)

I looked at the junior knight.

"I know I wanted to."

"Coal!"

"And the spots all over Chemar too. Don't tell my girlfriend though."

"The things we talk about when we have nothing but time." I said folding my arms behind my head.

"Wait, I have something!" The junior knight said.

"Where?" I asked running to the window.

"The orange haired female in the brown trench coat, black shirt, red pants and boots. That is Mary Pleasant an operative of the Dark Dawn."

(Well the orange hair was a dead give away.)

"This is point one to point two I have a nibble." Coal whispered into his communicator.

"Point two to point one, keep your eyes on the prize." Springer whispered back. "Chemar and I are moving to intercept."

We watched as the rebel female entered our vacant building looking for whoever tried to contact her.

Coal and I heard a scuffle over Springer's communicator, a scream, then laser blast.

"This is point two to point one and three we have her." The buck said triumphantly.

"Boy do we ever." Chemar said.

"EXCELLENT!!!" Point three shouted over the communicator. "Your mission has ended Rebel Hunters. I have some matters I need to attend to before our prisoner's colleagues realize she is missing."

"Sir Ram?" We all said in unison. The big horned sheep refused to be more specific.

The wanted rebel was taken in for interrogation while Coal, myself, Chemar and Springer were given the rest of the day off for successfully testing Sir Ram and Mara's theory and finishing our mission.

(The big horned sheep and his nanny goat were planning something.)

With our suddenly new found time, I convinced Coal to join me at the Movie Palace that afternoon:

Chet thank you for stopping by. Mr. Integer said greeting his friend at the door of the condominium he shared with his girlfriend.

It was a bit out of the way, but I am glad I came. Wooow. The human said looking around at the brown centaur's home. So this is how the other half lives?

The blond haired twenty-something just stared and stared. Was it that the condo was on a hill was a lovely view of the city? Or the nicely manicured lawn or was it the large waterfall that was adjacent to the house?

Actually Melissa and I are the other half. The centaur replied.

It must be nice. Hi Melissa. Chet sighed as Mr. Integer's squeeze greeted him at their door.

Hi Chet. Rob, aren't you going to invite our friend in? It was a bit of a drive out here for him from the cafe. The female centaur said to her lover.

Yes, I was getting to that. The brown centaur replied. This way.

Chet walked through the front foyer, then through a spacious carpeted hallway with artwork and expensive looking furniture, past a great-room then a study before entering a long kitchen with a larger island counter where his hosts had him sit.

Her Chet dear. The female centaur said placing a stack of waffles in front of him- your favorite.

Thank you. I haven't eaten like this in some time! It has mostly been soup and noodles for me. The human said.

Yeah, about that- how long have we know each other? Rob asked Chet.

About three years. The human said as he continued to stuff his face and fill his tummy.

During that time we have watched you struggle and struggle and struggle. Melissa said staring at her friend. Living on your own, gaining an education, finding something to support you and living in a dilapidated overcrowded hovel in the basement of the city.

Yeah it has been quite rough lately- well all my life. Chet said.

Well that changes today. Rob said placing his arm around his friend.

We are in need of a roommate. Melissa added. And we have selected you.

I appreciate the offer guys, but I could never afford some place as lavish as this.

Actually with the cost split three ways it is a little less than what you are paying now. The male centaur said.

Listen Chet we are your friends we love and care about you and are tired of seeing you struggling to exist. We want you to thrive. Melissa added.

Actually Melissa and I were hoping for something more than just a roommate- you would make a fine third.

A third? Chet asked looking up from his plate at the he centaur and the she centaur. As in a triad?!

Chet's two hosts nodded.

Guys what's wrong? You two are the perfect couple!

That is true but sometimes the office keeps me tied up and Melissa is left here by her lonesome.

And sometimes my consulting keeps me away and Rob is here by himself.

And we remember the horror stories of your past relationships whenever we visited you in that small cafe you work at. Melissa stated.

What she is saying is that this arrangement is perfect! We all have similar interests, we get along well and Melissa and I love and care about you and we hate to see you in the state that you are in.

What is that? Chet asked as the female centaur took his hand.

Miserable. Rob said taking his other hand. You won't admit it, but you are.

_"_This is a great movie Alex." Coal whispered.

"Yeah, The Arrangement is very popular right now."

"This is my favorite movie of the moment." A theater patron to my left said to me. "That Melissa- if I were Chet, I would ride her like a donkey! Present company excluded of course."

"Um right." Coal said to the man to my left.

I stared to my left and to my right. The male patrons on either side of Coal and myself (both human and beastial) were all pointing and I don't mean with their fingers; there wasn't a flaccid penis in the entire auditorium. Especially after Chet openly wept and hugged the two centaurs as he accepted their offer.

One evening after Chet had arrived home, he found Rob and Melissa in the great room reading.

How was your day? Rob asked the exhausted human as he rubbed Melissa's belly.

If I could detach my legs, I would.

Dinner is on the counter. Melissa said looking up from her pad.

So what are you guys reading? Chet asked as his roommates gave him wicked smirks.

Some books on how to make your love life fantastic. The he centaur responded. I have been trying to put a foal in her for some time and haven't been quite successful.

Actually he needs help starting and finishing. Say Chet have you ever? The she centaur asked her human friend.

No. The human blushed as Rob and Melissa traded glances.

Rob our dear friend is still a virgin.

I think we should take care of that immediately Melissa.

Immediately? Chet said as he was lead away from the great room and into the group's bedroom. Upon entry the he centaur removed the human's clothing and started rubbing and messaging his friend's genitals. Much to Chet's embarrassment.

The blond centaur did the same. Rob, is he ready?

He is about as big as he is going to get sweetie.

Very well, let's begin. Melissa said backing up as Rob held Chet's growing erection steady.

Not there Chet, below it. Rob said as he gave his human a quick anatomy lesson before guiding his penis into Melissa's foal tunnel. Now move in and out- in a gentle steady rhythm, she really likes that.

OAH!! This is great!!! Chet moaned. The she centaur's vagina seemed to be massaging him.

Getting close? Rob asked his friend.

I think so. Chet groaned.

Well allow me then. With that the brown centaur lifted Melissa's tail guiding it around Chet's side to rest securely into the crease in between his cheeks.

The sensation was too much and the human whinnied as he came very hard inside Melissa collapsing on her rump.

"I felt that!" The female centaur moaned.

As did I! Chet said seeing stars.

Your first time should always be memorable. Rob said placing his hand on Chet's shoulder.

Chet awoke later to find himself in bed with his beastial lovers.

Watch as my magic wand pulses and disappears inside. Soon you will be heavy with my offspring! Rob whispered while Melissa moaned, and moaned and moaned. The two were on lying on their sides mating horsey style.

Chet stared in amazement as Rob motioned him to join in.

You two appear to being doing quite well without me. Chet said.

*moan*

Not that well, Rob needs some help. Melissa said between gasps.

I like having my haunches rubbed while I am inside her. The he centaur said blushing.

Chet thought about it. "Sure, as long as we can cuddle afterwards."

Living and playing with Rob and Melissa was turning out to be a good arrangement indeed if not the best decision he made in his life. Chet thought to himself as he was sandwiched between his beasitial roommates after their wild mating. Rob hugged him from behind and Melissa hugged him from the front.

From that day forward Chet didn't let the little things get to him as much as they had before, he finally had a stable living condition (despite a longer commute.) and a wonderful loving relationship with his two best friends. Things had taken a turn for the better.

After the film Coal and I headed for home. He taking his hover bike and I was picked up by my perfect person who again was running some secretive, mysterious errand she would not tell me about.

"So Alex, how was your day?" She asked me. "And why were you at the Movie Palace?"

"Coal and my mission ended early." I responded sitting down inside the blue prototype.

"It didn't go sideways did it?"

"Actually no. It went better than anyone could have ever expected. Due to its secretive nature, I can't say more than that. But Barran would be proud." I said smiling at her.

"Sounds like this is going to be quite an interesting couple of days." She said as we drove off.

That night I lay awake within my lover's embrace thinking about the mating habits of the centaur. I hadn't thought about that since meeting the Wilds. I kept thinking about that triad I saw in the movie and the different positions Chet, Rob and Melissa could possibly try. Chet in front kissing and fondling the she centaur's rack and the he centaur riding her from behind. Or the he centaur riding the she centaur and their human lover fondling either of his lover's rumps. Or Melissa and Rob locked in a passionate kiss and Chet on the she centaur's back massaging her breasts. Then the three of them could... well you get the idea, the possibilities were endless. Thinking about it was making me hot and bothered. So much so that I tossed within my bear's embrace.

"Pet you are still awake?"

"Fixated on that movie I saw this afternoon the triad between a human and two centaurs. The sex in that movie between the three of them was fantastic."

"I can tell pet." My she beast said gripping my erect member. "But Alex you need to rest." My warrior bear said nuzzling me.

"I know, if I am not well rested, I won't be at my best which could be potentially dangerous on missions."

"Exactly, now do I have to shut you down for the night?"

"Actually mistress that would be divine."

Lady Ursa made love to me taking care of my erection. Afterward, she rolled me onto my tummy making me stretch out my arms in the process. She then squatted on my legs just below my backside. All too soon, I felt her paws on my back, shoulders and neck- groping, kneading, rubbing.

*ah*

"That is wondrous mistress!" I moaned as those majestic paws reached for my butt.

After the massage, my perfect person became my blanket lying right down on top of me- ever so careful not to crush me with her weight.

"Now no more restlessness- sleep!"

"Yes mistress."

Day 1039 (morning)

The month of December began with a eerie silence like something big was going to happen. When Lady Ursa's communicator sounded off that morning she wasn't given any specific instructions or missions; she was just placed in stand by and told to wait. I thought it was the oddest thing- even I wasn't assigned anything.

So we began our usual routine morning sex, then exercises, then our communal shower and then breakfast. I decided to make scrambled eggs and toast for us that morning.

As we were eating at the high table, the communicator on my PDA sounded off.

"This is Alex."

"Alex, Coal. Did you hear the news?" The junior knight asked me.

"Um no."

"It happened. Turn on the hub!" The donkey said ending the communication.

I looked at my bear knight and she at me. Normally we didn't like to have anything on while eating in the morning. It is just something we did but, that morning we made an exception.

Good morning. If you are just joining us there has been a resounding victory for the High Evolutionary this morning as the Knights of Sovereign, Sogreth and Warwick in Worlds Five, Four and Two made a deep dent into the resistance movement. My mistress' favorite reporter that kangaroo who really delved into her work announced.

_The knight core discovered a secret communications network the forces that opposed the High Evolutionary and the empire were using to become better coordinated between factions. Overnight a false message was sent to the rebellion. We haven't been able to determine exactly what was conveyed. But it was a direct result of this ruse that the master's enforcers were able to dismantle, eviscerate and out right destroy numerous rebel groups- 55% of the rebellion. _

This has been a major win for the empire. The master has stated that those that remain- dissidents, anarchists, separatists, alarmists will soon join those that have been caught, judged and punished or eliminated.

To Be Continued....
