Counter Earth Chronicles - Fallen Empire

Chapter 46: The Other World Part I

Day 72 (9:51 AM Sir Ram's hidden lab, um well, former hidden lab)

What is that? ONE shark said to the other.

A non-believer. The second shark said to the first.

It is our lucky day; We shall make him believe. The two aquatic beastials said turning toward my direction.

!!!

"ACK!!!"

(Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!)

*SLAM*

I shut what I mistakenly thought was a closet door but turned out to be the exit from the lab and locked it. I noticed the shark beastials were walking around without breathing apparatus. In fact they seemed to be patrolling the building for some reason as if they were on some type of guard detail- but the big thing that really blew my mind was they were just casually having a conversation with each other?! When did the possessed do that?!

*THUMP* *THUMP*

The thumping on the door to the hallway brought me back to our grim reality. We had been compromised and it was my fault.

I ran from the second circular room back into the first where I found Lady Ursa and Sir Ram loading supplies into the trunk of the prototype.

*My that is certainly a lot of noise.* The automated assistant commented. *It sounds like someone is trying to break in.*

(Thanks Overwatch.)

"Boy what did you do?!" The ram asked closing the trunk and picking up Rhinox's mace.

"Something incredibly stupid." I said running behind him and cowering.

"Alex?" My bear asked.

I didn't have to look at her to know that that eyebrow of hers was raised.

"I mistook the door of the lab for a closet door while cleaning and two Others on patrol kinda saw me when I looked out into the hallway!" I squealed.

"ALEX!!!" The bear and ram said as the door to the lab make a loud crashing noise as it was broken down. In walked the two shark beastials.

(SHIT!)

They proceeded to scour the lab while speaking to me in a sing-song pattern.

Come out little intruder we won't hurt you...

Yes, we want to solve your problems...

That's right, no more scurrying around looking for food or supplies...

Or covering your body from top to bottom in fear of us...

Yes, we want to see if you are worthy to receive the good news...

That's right join us...

Yes be ONE with us...

I couldn't tell if it was the sharks speaking or the entity speaking through the sharks or a combination of both but it was very eerie.

The pair made their way from the second circular room to the first looking into closets, cabinets, under tables and chairs and even the large cylinders. The aquatic beastials were interesting to say they least; they were taller than my mistress and Sir Ram by a foot, with grey muscular 'T' shaped torsos, large teeth, fins and they were carrying harpoon weapons.

He definitely came this way.

Are we sure it was a he? It might have been a she.

It was definitely a he- a human we smell his fear.

Not a beastial?

No tail, snout, paws or claws.

And pretty good at hiding a very unique trait.

Yes, an advanced scout perhaps?

Nah, another scavenger looking for supplies or food.

Regardless the creature must be found. The sharks said in unison.

_Yes master... _ The first said.

Yes master... The second said.

Lady Ursa, Sir Ram and I were watching from within a holo projection the prototype had thrown up at the last second. To the sharks we looked like another set of chairs and tables.

I was still amazed at what I was seeing- it looked like ONE was letting its minions take control of their own bodies during all of this inserting a opinion here or there. Did the entity trust these two that much? How could it be sure they wouldn't resist? Did they came willingly become Others?

My attention turned to the beastial warriors with me. My brown bear was close enough to strike one of the sharks as the second moved behind me. Sir Ram cautioned her against it. The beings were connected to each other through entity. Attacking these two would just bring more. That is something none of us wanted or needed.

That was around the time it all went to hell.

Caught ya! A grey fin reached through the projection and had picked me up by the scruff of my neck.

*GASP*

"Let me go!" I shouted.

Nice illusion. The first shark said.

But not very effective. The second one said.

We have been aware of you since your arrival. The entity said to me through the two of them.

"We have no choice!! ATTACK!" Lady Ursa shouted charging toward the first shark.

*THOK!!*

"AUGH!!!"

The creature fired its harpoon weapon hitting her right in the lower stomach angering the brown bear. She stabbed thrusted and parried ignoring the injury. The shark beastial used his weapon to stop her attacks.

"Put the boy down." The ram growled.

Another masked intruder and this one is bigger. The second shark said tossing me across the room as he went to confront the ram who tried to bash his head in with the weapon he was carrying.

I watched helplessly from the floor of the second circular room as my companions fought the two shark beastials on either side of the prototype. Both of the possessed were holding their own against the two Knights of Wundagore.

"Overwatch code black! Assume control of the prototype!" I shouted.

!!!

My precognition ability was in overload like a blaring alarm and I was starting to becoming numb to it.

Overwatch powered the prototype on and deployed its side-pods but unfortunately it could not get off a clear shot because the fighting was happening on either side of the blue coupe and not in the front or the back. A flaw that Mara did not think about when she designed the vehicle.

!!!

Was that from the sharks or something else? I thought to myself as Sir Ram and Lady Ursa fought our attackers and Overwatch tried repeatedly to reposition the prototype to get off a clean shot.

The next thing I knew my mask had been ripped off from my face and I was staring up at a tan orc creature similar to the one we had seen when we entered the city. Long teeth and long ears, squinty eyes, short hair, muscular and near naked except for black underwear on his unmentionables. He looked like he could go a few rounds in the ring with my mistress or Lady Barq.

"So you are human." *grab* "You will be coming with me."

"Hey!"

And just like that, I was picked up and thrown over his shoulder.

"Don't touch me!" I shouted.

The creature lowered me back to the ground and touched my nose with his index finger.

"Boop." He said before throwing back over his shoulder and carrying me off again.

"Alex!" My warrior bear shouted in the midst of combat.

Do not concern yourself with him. One shark said to her.

That is right you and your friend have bigger concerns at the moment. The second shark said as he knocked the mace from Sir Ram's paw.

(The big horned sheep was a better strategist than an warrior.)

He then hit the former knight with the handle of his harpoon weapon.

*WHACK*

*OOF*

I was carried out into the hallway kicking and screaming. The building did not have any power or lighting to speak of the only illumination was from the windows of the rooms we walked by.

As the creature carried me away further from Lady Ursa and Sir Ram I became very scared. It had touched me on my nose too. However, I didn't feel any different. I thought I would have been enslaved at that moment.

As I was being taken away, we happened by an open doorway which I assumed led to what used to be an office in this building. Weird thing though- there wasn't any furniture in side only citizens of the former empire I saw about thirteen individuals male, female, humans, beastials, young and old standing on a three level circular platform looking forward as if they were store mannequins their eyes followed the orc and me as we went by.

(Oh shit!)

The well built orc brought me to a stairwell and then two floors below the floor Sir Ram's lab was located. I assumed there was some type of school or institution for learning in this section of the high rise; there were many classrooms, tables, chairs and view-screens.

The tan orc brought me into one of the rooms and sat me down on a chair. The room was occupied by two smaller females who looked quite similar to him. The one on the left had green skin, was wearing leather shoulder pads and a one piece breastplate and skirt with a metal belt buckle and fury boots. Her hair was red and shaved into a mohawk that went down the center. The one on the right had long black hair extending partway down her back, her skin was also green and she wore an earring and a two piece outfit consisting of a larger leather breastplate larger skirt along with wrist guards and ankle guards and oh she was slightly taller than the first female. The three of them looked like barbarians.

You have done well brother. The one to my left said.

_Yes, very well brother. Now remove his clothing. _ The one to my right added.

(Wait, what?!)

"No! Don't! I screamed as my jacket, shirt, footwear and pants were unceremoniously removed from my person. I was standing there looking at the male orc quite confused and in my undergarments when he ripped and tore them from my body.

I stood there in my birthday suit. I knew the creature's hands had touched my skin several times but yet I still didn't feel any different; I had my free will intact but how was that possible?

"Done." The male orc said looking at the two females.

Now for his conversion! The red mohawked female said approaching me. Relax little human your day of transformation is at hand.

The pain, misery and strife of your pitiful existence is about to end permanently. The black haired female said approaching me finger outstretched.

!!!

All will be ONE and ONE will be all! The females chanted. I tried to get up, I tried to move, to run- but I couldn't. The male orc was holding me down.

As the black haired female was about to boop me on my nose, I winced in my chair at the last possible moment and she ended up touching her brother's arm.

Wait, wait! Something was not adding up here. I surmised that the three orcs in the room with me were related. The two females were obviously vessels of the entity- but their brother had touched me repeatedly and apart from being naked. Nothing else had happened.

The human will join our fold but not through MY coercion. The orc females said in unison as the entity spoke through them.

But master! The red mohawked one protested.

Poa has suggested we try a new approach. We are inclined to agree. Let this survivor see us, know us, and understand us. Then he will come willingly to our new order and help recreate the world.

But! But! The two females protested. But they ultimately relented to their master.

We have waited a long time to acquire this Alex Winter. We can wait a little longer. The synoptic said. I noticed that when it spoke, it was only speaking through the females and not the male that was holding me.

"Wait, so I am only going to see your works and if I don't want to join I don't have too?" I said looking at the three barbarians.

We personally will not force you to join. The synoptic said eerily.

"The master has been observing you for a long, long time." The male orc said to me.

"Um how long?"

Since the Sura concert three years ago. The orc female with the black hair said.

When Alexander Winter was brought into the fold the master realized that you and the second you are similar but also dissimilar and has wanted you even more.

"Well it can keep Alexander. But it can't have me!" I shouted.

You say that now, but you will change your mind in time. They all do. The female with the red mohawk said.

"But for now a simple tour." The male orc said lifting me to my feet. He placed his hand on my shoulder and directed me to walk out of the classroom into the cold hallway. The females followed closely behind.

"Hey what about my clothes?" I said.

Yes what about them? The brunette asked.

"Nope. We have to keep you under foot somehow." He said to me.

"You are going to make me walk around here in my birthday suit?!" I said aghast.

"You are getting the picture." He said to me. "You are less likely to run off. "And if you do..."

"Let me guess, I become unruly and your sisters will take care of me."

Touchie!! Touchie!! The redhead said lurching her hands.

_He is not as dopey as he appears brother. _ The brunette said following as I started to shiver.

Very well here. The redhead said presenting me with a sweater? Here you are now. Take it!

"Um maybe not." I said backing up with my arms raised.

He is afraid to remove it from you hand sister.

I see. Afraid we will touch him. The brunette laughed.

She threw the garment at me. I promptly caught it and put it on. It was a size too large but did manage to cover my torso, but only my torso.

"What about my lower half?"

Yes what about it? The red head snapped back.

Cute butt! And what is in the front isn't bad as well sister.

"Moving right along." The male orc said to me.

I was marched down the hallway from the classroom.

"Hey Mr. orc what do I call you? Do you even have a name?" I asked as we were walking.

He didn't answer me.

"I noticed that the entity speaks through your sisters." I said feeling the weight of his hand on my shoulder. He felt incredibly strong like Tauren. "Your sisters are vessels for the entity why is it that you are not?"

Again with the silence- it spoke volumes.

(WHOA!)

"You were rejected!! Why do you stay then?!"

It dawned on me that he probably didn't have anywhere to go or wanted to be with his sisters despite their current states.

"In here." He said pushing me to a room.

"What's in here?"

It was a 10 x 10 room. Inside were three humans two males, a female and four beastials a adolescent wombat, young zebra, satyr and naga. Their stares frozen, their eyes glazed over with broad smiles on their faces their paws and hands were intertwined.

The orcs siblings surrounded me as I took in the site.

"What am I seeing?" I asked my guides.

_This is the new order. Under the previous regime humans were labeled second class citizens, their movements and activities were closely monitored. Their opportunities for success and happiness limited. Here we are all equals. _ The orc sisters said in unison.

"The master is conveying its vast knowledge to its vessels." The male orc said to me. "When your time arrives he may do the same to you."

"Knowing the secrets of the universe did seem interesting but the price is too high. Can we leave now? This is creepy!" I said to the orc siblings.

I was escorted out of the room down the corridor and into another. Unlike the first the floor in that room was very soft and spongy. It was for some sort of recreation; I saw what appeared to be a strong lizard and a muscular boar wrestling.

(Wow!)

Hey Fel want to go a couple of rounds? The lizard said to the orc.

The orc looked at his sisters who nodded in agreement.

I watched as he entered the arena and joined the tan lizard who like him had only been wearing what looked like form fitting underwear.

As the match began the two locked arms, the scalie trying to over power the orc.

We have a pile driver with your name on it. The lizard said lashing its tongue.

"HMPF!!" The orc shouted as he picked him up and flipped him backward onto the floor before landing on him with all his weight.

OOF! Was all the lizard could say.

_It is important for aggression to be relieved in a proper conducive manner. _ The entity said to me through the orc sisters, lizard and boar.

"You mean you encourage physical activity?"

It is beneficial for the whole.

(Fascinating, ONE allows its meat puppets to exercise.)

When you are converted we will take care of you as well. Plenty of mental stimulation and physical exertion.

Excellent Fel another round perhaps? The lizard asked looking up at him.

Another time perhaps. The red headed orc said.

Yes another time perhaps, there is much more the master wants our guest to see. The black haired female said.

Fel rolled off of his opponent as the warthog watched.

"So your name is Fel." I said as he approached me again.

"Forward." He said placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Huh?"

"That is my last name."

"Fel Forward eh?"

"Our parents had a strange sense of humor." He said steering me out of the room. His sisters following.

"So you weren't constructed in a lab?"

Does that surprise you Mr. Winter?

"It does." I said to Fel's read headed sister. "Orcs aren't indigenous to this world so..."

You thought we were monsters? The brunette asked.

I nodded.

"As we are now, but we were human once." Fel said to me.

"You were dissidents!" I concluded.

"The late dictator called us revelers." The male orc said.

"I get it. In the final weeks of his rule the High Evolutionary was actively hunting down and punishing those who were celebrating during the beastial's great sickness. You were caught, judged, punished and were forced to be someone else- to become something else."

Twice. The entity said through its vessels.

Master! The red mohawked female said.

We feel it is an improvement!

(Did the synoptic just joke with its vessel?!)

"The change wasn't that drastic apart from the skin color, square jaw, muscle growth, longer teeth, larger ears." Fel said as the corridor ended in a intersection we watched as the two shark beastials I encountered earlier crossed our path. They were bloodied but what was even more disturbing was that they were carrying my mistress' sword and the mace I had given to Sir Ram!

_We dealt with them we did. _ The first shark said to the second.

Yes did. The second said to the first.

At that moment the two dropped to the floor of the hallway writing and moaning in sheer orgasmic bliss!

Thank you master! The sharks groaned in unison.

(Oh no! Lady Ursa! Sir Ram!)

We have more to show you Mr. Winter.

I was led to another room with a large bed. Inside was a human couple a blond haired male who appeared to be in his thirties and blond female who looked to be around the same age. The couple were both naked reclining on the bed in a Y formation. The male was underneath his partner only his head which off to the side and his lower half were visible. The female was splayed across his torso arms and legs outstretched. Goofy faces on both.

The orcs and I watched as the male's penis turned bright red and grew, when it reached the proper length- he aimed it just so letting it slip inside his partner. He then placed his hands around her body letting her adjust to his length and girth and then started thrusting.

Fel and his sisters made stand there and watch the breeding pair. The male pistoned his shaft in and out of his female with increasing urgency. At first slowly then steadily speeding up, and speeding up. The expressions on their faces remained frozen as his testicles contracted. He then slowed down eventually pulling out of his partner all together his penis coated in semen and white goo was trickling out of her vagina.

"Why are you showing me this?" I asked.

_ We have made a breakthrough._ The entity said to me.

"What? Watching two humans mate?" I said to the Forward siblings.

He is fails to see the significance of this moment master. The red headed orc said.

He does seem to be a dense at times. Are you sure you want him? The black haired orc said piling on.

_We do. _

"The master has succeeded in ending human infertility Mr. Winter."

The previous regime sought to reduce the human population. We do not.

"What are you saying?" I said looking at the the couple expressionless on the bed.

"The male just impregnated the female something that hasn't happened in twelve years." Fel said to me. "Offspring have been conceived."

We have one more thing to show you. The entity said through the Forward sisters.

The male orc brought me to yet another room where a female dhole was reclining on a mattress; her legs stretched in a V formation and a mass was starting to appear from her groin.

I looked at the she beast's emotionless blank stare and then at her groin again. She was in labor.

Fel pushed me forward and down where I was forced to kneel at the wild dog's side as she gave birth. There was simply no reaction from the mother as a single cub emerged from her tunnel.

The Forward sisters carefully removed the umbilical cord while Fel rubbed the pup gently. His eyes opened as did his mouth. A boy the male orc said turning him over. The little beastial the started to cry. A new life had begun.

The female orcs removed the pup from Fel's arms. The moment they touched the cub, he developed the same goofy blank stare with that smile and stopped crying. The red head placed him in his mother's arms. Another vessel for the synoptic.

After witnessing a possessed beastial give birth, the Forward siblings returned me to the classroom where I tried to process all I had just seen. I ended up staring out a window of the building on the far side of the room as the three orcs stood guarding the door.

That is a small taste of the new world we are creating Mr. Winter. The entity said through the orc females.

"Your new world ONE came a such a great cost." I retorted adjusting the sweater I was wearing after I realized all three were most likely looking at my ass.

A necessary price for the world to be reborn to our specifications.

"You mean that was why you killed the High Evolutionary?" I asked.

He was incompatible and unnecessary for our new order.

"What about the innocents who died during phantom cascade?"

Regrettable but necessary for the new golden age as well.

(OH REALLY?!)

"So in other words it was necessary to destroy the existing world in order to convince the survivors to join the new one; to welcome you with open arms? Exactly who are you and what is your endgame for that matter?" I said assuming a accusatory tone.

We think you already know. Like we know of your struggling colony in the forest- we have been aware its existence for sometime.

Join us. The red headed orc said.

Yes, join us. Her sister added.

You have seen just a small, small portion of our wonders. Much more awaits. The entity said through the Forward sisters.

"Um, thanks for the tour- it looks like you are well on your way to starting something- I don't want any part of." I said. "Now please take me back to my friends."

As agreed we will not force you to join us. The entity said. Britta, Shenn.

I started to turn toward the Forward siblings after looking out the window at the flooded city below. Somehow I had side-stepped this disaster.

!!!!

"HEY!!!" I said as I felt an orc hand caress my backside then insert itself into my crease between my butt cheeks before returning to my rump. I immediately started not to feel at all like myself. "Your master stated explicitly that it would not force me to become one of you!"

"The master was telling you the truth." Fel said walking up to see his sisters manhandling me. "It did not force you. But Britta and Shenn did."

I stared at the red headed orc female who had grabbed my left shoulder with one hand and was squeezing my left butt cheek while her sister to my right mirrored her actions.

I had been touched.

Next Week Transformation....
