Counter Earth Chronicles - Fallen Empire

Chapter 50: Weep For The Future, Weep For Us All (The Other World Part V)

Day N/A (It doesn't matter, my life is no longer my own.)

I followed Boris back up the trail from the beach into the jungle as the winds started to pick up.

The dark brown bear clawed, punched and scratched several trees along the path dropping their contents on the ground. He then bent down, picked them up and tossed them to me.

"Boris why are we stopping?" I asked.

"Storm looks to be really, really bad. Need supplies. You take." He said directing me to take a few coconuts and mangos.

We took all we could carry back to the cave leaving them with Lady Ursa before heading out to get more supplies.

Our next stop was the pond we had stopped by earlier. The dark brown bear sat down at its side reached his paw in and started flicking fish out of the water to me. I did my best to catch them but they were so slippery. From there we returned back to the cave.

"Thank you, but this more than what we need for lunch." My she beast said looking at what we had brought.

"Mistress there is a storm coming, a bad one!" I said out of breath.

The former knight looked at me, then Boris and then the rapidly darkening sky.

"Very well. Let's see, fruits, vegetables and meat. This should last us several days. What about water?" My fierce ursine warrior asked.

"Ah crud, Boris forgot."

My lady bear found some coconut shells that we had laying in the cave and handed them to me.

"Right." I said.

We returned to the pond collecting as much as they could hold before returning back to the cave where we found a large gourd to use to hold our drinking water.

"Geez not a moment to soon too." I observed watching the winds move in and lash the island trees back and forth.

"Such a strong storm." The dark brown bear commented.

"A hurricane. I have heard about them, they like to ravage tropical paradises every now and again." Lady Ursa said to Boris and myself. "We need to close off the entrance."

"What about big boulder over there?" Boris asked.

"That should do it. Assist me." I ordered the two of them.

The large rock was about as tall as Lady Ursa and took the three of us to move it from the far side of the cave to entrance. Which we did as the rain started coming down hard and in a bizarre pattern.

"Horizontal rain?" I said cocking my head.

"Alex, Boris!" My she beast warned. She moved us away from the rock to a corner perpendicular to the entrance as the gusts picked up substantially.

"It has to be blowing in excess of a 100 miles now." I exclaimed.

"Still bored pretty lady bear?" Boris teased.

So my bears and I took shelter in our cave for the next day and a half as the island took a direct blow from the storm that arrived quickly and then decided to park itself right over us.

"I fear that there isn't going to be anything left after this." I said wistfully. "We may have to consider abandoning the island and I was starting to like it here."

"Boris did too." The he bear said to the she bear.

"That makes two of us." The she bear said to the he bear.

There was a pregnant pause as Lady Ursa made that comment. In the dimming light of the cave- I looked at the dark brown bear with the V shaped birthmark on his chest indicating that they two should talk- really talk.

Boris snuggled close to Lady Ursa.

"Boris was thinking pretty lady bear."

"Really? Isn't that how you wound up at The Maximum?" My mistress said in the dim light.

"Well, yes. But Boris reformed. Is good person now; has turned over new leaf. Boris noticed pretty lady bear is saddened she can't be a knight anymore."

"What are you saying? Pet what is he saying?"

"Boris has moved away from his old ways and is pursuing other interests. I think he is suggesting that you do the same."

"Boris knows that pretty lady bear can't be what she once was. Perhaps there is something else she wanted to do but couldn't because she was knight?"

My she beast thought for a moment.

"Family perhaps?" The dark brown bear said throwing it out there.

"I have one, you and Alex." Lady Ursa said responding.

"What about a bigger one?" Boris said smiling.

That eyebrow of hers raised. "As in cubs.... with you?"

"You know from time to time you have thought about becoming a mommy mistress. But never had the time. Now you have plenty of it; we all do." I said smiling.

"But with him?" She said.

It was at that point the dark brown bear stepped out from my warrior bear's side to kneel at her as if she was a sacred statue.

"During time in Maximum Boris realized feelings for pretty lady bear. Boris sees future with pretty lady bear and little freckled boy too."

"I am inclined to agree." I said kneeling along with the dark brown bear.

"Hmm...." The former knight said crossing her arms as the storm raged outside. "What if I said not if you were the last bear in the world?"

"How about island?" The he beast said smiling.

"Grrr...." Lady Ursa said.

With the horrifying winds outside ravaging our island, we decided to turn in. I slept between my two bears on a bed of leaves. My mistress to my right and Boris to my left- so much soft warm fur.

Sometime during the night the three of us were startled by a loud crashing sound nearby. It sounded very close.

"Better not go outside is still dangerous." Boris warned.

"Indeed. The she beast said staring at the little human who had glommed on to Borris' right arm."

"He has taken a liking to you." Lady Ursa said.

"Boris and little Alex are close. Boris would like to be close with pretty lady bear as well."

"Yes." The she bear said to the he bear.

"What?" The he bear said to the she bear.

"You have changed. I will have you... for now."

"Pretty lady bear said yes?!" Boris exclaimed.

"Don't make me have to repeat myself. Now come here." My perfect person said.

I watched silently as Boris crawled on top of his pretty lady bear- his arms placed on both sides of her shoulders- his chest to hers.

"I have never admitted this to myself or anyone else, but I have feelings for you too." Lady Ursa said reaching her paws around his back. She then moved them lower and lower to she reached his...

"Boris knows, posterior is rather small."

"As is the rest of your equipment." The she beast teased her partner.

"Yes, but Boris will make up for deficiencies. Despite being small penis still works the same."

"But your testicles are rather large as of late."

"Pretty lady bear notice?"

"It is hard not to. Most of the time you aren't wearing anything at all."

(These two are too much!)

"Boris been saving himself for special time, special night."

"I see that." Lady Ursa said watching the small penis become excited.

"Boris has no fashion sense. Besides clothing not required on deserted island paradise with very warm temperatures. Pretty lady bear should join. She is quite lovely topless and bottomless."

"Stop talking and come here." The she bear said kissing her companion.

I watched as Boris aligned his penis with my mistress' cub tunnel and then slid right on in.

*OOOOH*

*AAHN*

"Something wrong pretty lady bear?"

*MMMMM*

"Yes you can make up for your deficiencies!" My perfect person said as the dark brown bear splayed himself on to his lover."

My warrior bear reached her arms underneath his armpits to clasp his shoulders.

"This feels... so delightful...." The she bear said to the he bear.

"It has been quite some time since pretty lady bear has been intimate with another bear?" Boris asked.

"Yes." My brown bear said blushing underneath her fur. "Too long."

In the ultimate act of acceptance Lady Ursa wrapped her legs and foot-paws around Boris' waist.

(YES!)

"Boris you can start moving." She whispered to him.

"Sorry, Boris lost in moment as well."

With that I watched the two mate. Boris gently and lovingly slid into and out of and into his lady bear's opening enjoying the sensation like a saw cutting through a log.

*OOOH*

*AAHH*

That he bear did have a small butt. However his upper body was nicely built.

"Now Boris I like my males to verbally express how they feel at the moment they climax." Lady Ursa warned her lover.

"Yes ma'am." The he bear responded.

*thrust*

*thrust*

*thrust*

I watched that small butt gyrate during their mating- gyrate for quite some time.

(Shouldn't they be finishing about now?)

More thrusting and gyrating but no climax or conclusion. Hmm... Boris must really be living in the moment or... he is having trouble finishing. Small penis syndrome perhaps?

I decided to help out the dark brown bear. I approached the mating pair keeping a watchful eye on the dark brown bear's posterior. I then carefully crept up from behind him and placed both my hands on the he beast's ass. That apparently was what he needed.

"Little Alex, pretty lady bear! Boris can't hold back any longer!"

"Then don't love!" My she beast advised.

"GAAAAARROOOOARRRR!!!!!!!" The dark brown bear said firing his cub seeds into his female's womb.

(I think Boris really enjoyed that.)

"That was simply wonderful!" My warrior bear exclaimed.

"Boris agrees too."

"You want to stay like this don't you?" The female beastial blushed.

Her partner blushed as they hugged each other.

The three of us ended up sleeping on each other (despite the smell of sex and semen stains on our 'bed') the remainder of the night. I on Boris' chest by his V birthmark and my mistress on his back.

I was more than confident that my two bears started their family during the height of the storm.

In the days that followed we discovered that our island paradise had suffered severely. Day after day we would work morning to even cleaning up the debris, replanting trees trying to restore what we once had. Lady Ursa definitely wasn't bored anymore. With just the three of us it would take us the better part of a year.

"The southwest corner and the beach have been cleared. Now for the rest of the island." I said looking at the ocean and the high surf. Boris was looking at something else. "Boris?"

"Pretty lady bear has pleasant glow around her little Alex."

"Yeah, she does." I responded.

"Boris planted his seed in pretty lady bear."

"Either that or Lady Ursa has put on some weight. You think it is a boy or girl big bear?"

"Doesn't matter little Alex. As long as cub is healthy." The brown bear beamed looking at his mate as we decided to make our way to the northern portion of our seven mile long paradise.

!!!

"Something wrong little Alex?" The brown bear said as I stopped dead in my tracks.

"We aren't alone Boris!" I whispered.

"Well, well look at what I found- my escaped prisoners!" A familiar being said stepping right out in our path and interrupting our conversation. "It is has been quite a while."

The being was six and a half feet tall, bald, grey skinned, broad shoulders, big powerful abdomen, large arms and legs and his eyes were black with white pupils.

"WARDEN KING!!!" Boris and I shouted as the Dowd came up to us.

"I am glad I did send that storm here, it flushed you out of hiding. Now did I hear that the she bear is going to be a mommy?"

"OMG!!! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO??!" I screamed.

"Submit prisoner." The warden said coldly.

(Aw crap just when it was getting interesting!)

I thought to myself as I realized I had come out of whatever I was experiencing. Lady Ursa, Boris and myself living out the rest our lives on a lush tropical paradise? I knew that it wasn't real- that my mistress was back in the Lost City grieving my loss. But it seemed so real. In that it was so much more than a dream. The sights, sounds, smell- even me feeling Boris' butt as he boinked my mistress. What was it?

It was at that point, I realized my box-cage had opened. Had I come out of standby mode again on my own? I noticed that Fel had gone to the bunker's restroom leaving Zen, Raier, Bester and me alone.

Should I try to make a break for it? Or is this another loyalty test from the entity? No, I better not it could still be dark outside which would mean I could run into something I didn't want to or perhaps be killed by it while trying to make my way home.

Home. I wonder what my family is doing now? Did they find Russell? The synoptic did say it was aware of our refugee camp and had been for some time was it because of Russell?

"Russell Ferguson! Calling Russell Ferguson! Can you hear me? If you are out there please answer!" I shouted into the between. No response, Nothing. I felt like I was shouting into a void. Tauren, Lurie, Lea! Are you there? Bess or Tess? Can anyone hear me? Yama?"

You called? The avian said appearing before me. "Well, I think it was you- your voice was rather faint."

"I still haven't mastered the between yet." I said to him.

Hey your cage is open. Decided to let yourself out?

"No. I think that was the master."

That is great, next time you should come and see me- instead of the other way around.

"Maybe." I replied.

So why not do something about all of this darkness? It is very bleak and you know, dark in here.

"That is what I feel right now- hopelessness, despair, misery." I said to the black and white outline.

It is what you make of it. For instance why not something less bleak?

"Like?" I asked him.

Turn the eternal darkness here into a blue haze.

"How?"

Will it.

And so I did. I strained very hard to change my surroundings from a dark, black void to something not- a foggy blue haze. It took a great deal of effort. I felt dizzy afterwards and had to sit down.

Well it is a start. As time goes by you should get better.

"Maybe Yama."

You are thinking about the master's obsession with collecting.

"The master was particularly giddy when it acquired Zen and Bester." I countered.

Because Bester is a survivalist his skills will improve our collective as a whole.

(Well he did have some ideas we could have used back home.)

"I gather that the entity is missing some key positions and looking to fill them as soon as possible." I said to the avian trying to read between the lines.

Only with the right candidates.

"Which will then enhance the new order and possibly improve its chances of succeeding."

Well take care Alex. Yama Kite said fading.

"You are leaving?!"

I was in the middle of something, well a lot of somethings. I need to get back. He said disappearing. Besides it looks like the master wants you.

(His visits are always so damn short.)

As the avian disappeared I could see outside my body again. Zen, Raier and Bester had been 'powered on' as well.

"Good morning master." Fel said. "How may I serve you?"

We will resume our activities from the previous day.

(More grave digging?!)

No little slave we have a special project for you.

Fel, Raier, Zen and Bester departed the compound to return to World Five to resume searching, finding and burying the dead while I waited in the bunker for the something special the master was planning.

Several hours later I was joined by a small white rabbit in a black and white parka.

(Poa?!)

You have a new labor to perform today little slave.

"What is that master?"

Obstinate, but respectful. You are learning your place. The entity quipped. We will be hunting.

Greetings little man we are eager to work with you. The little rabbit said.

(Um, yeah right.)

And so my second day the entity and I went searching the surrounding area for more stragglers or so I thought.

The synoptic used Poa and I to comb the forest immediately surrounding the city. Three months into the 'so called new era' you would assume ONE's minions would have accomplished this task several times over. But wait, there was Zen and Bester hiding in plain site.

These tracks are new master. The little white rabbit said kneeling.

How new little rabbit?

Just today. They belong to coatis.

Poa explained that the group was most likely thirsty or hungry and was trying to find sustenance.

"That would be incredibly difficult in all this snow." I commented.

They could have gone to the city. Poa said.

They chose not to meet us little rabbit. Which is unfortunate. So we will come to them.

"Um how master?" I asked.

We know of a place. We will wait for them there.

Poa, myself and the synoptic went toward a frozen pond nearby and waited at the base of a tree.

(Geez, another stakeout.)

We will not be waiting long little slave.

"And why is that master?"

They are near. The white rabbit exclaimed.

"Mommy why do we have to search the forests? Why can't we just go shopping at the general store?" A female coati in a dilapidated white jacket complained.

"Because there aren't any stores." Her brother responded. He was dressed in a similar looking jacket, but it was blue.

"What about the grand market?" A small toucan standing between the girl and boy asked.

"There is no more anything! Look around you it is all gone!" The boy coati said to his sister and the little avian.

"Oh my stars! We have become hunter-gatherers!" The little toucan exclaimed.

_"Alright quiet down little ones, we need to break through the ice, fill up the canisters and quickly head back." A adult female coati said to her companions. _

I observed their interactions with great interest. The female had two children and a toucan?

"Yes mom we must be careful or the zombies will get us." Her brood responded.

Is that what the stragglers think of us?

"Well you do come off that way- master." I said. I felt that I was about to be punished for making that comment, but before that happened...

Good afternoon. Poa said darting out from behind our tree. _We see that you are struggling. _

"T-times are hard these days friend." The mother coati said dropping her canisters as she was approached by the small white rabbit.

That is unfortunate all you had to do is seek out help from your neighbors. The synoptic said through me as I approached from the rear.

That is right we would have aided you in your time of need and helped you to become your best self, a better you. Poa added.

"Mommy zombies!" The little toucan shouted.

(Mommy?!)

You would become part of something bigger than yourself- a growing collective. Think! No more running, struggling or worrying. The rabbit continued.

"No! Stay away!" She screamed. "I have heard about you- you are that cloud thing that turned the sky red and destroyed the city!"

No, that was our chariot heralding our arrival. The destruction afterwards was necessary for the new order to come. There will be no more destruction, no more pain, misery, or suffering, no more intolerance, hatred, animosity, bias, bigotry or inequality in the new world we are building all will be ONE and ONE will be all. The entity said through Poa and myself.

The mother coati looked at the white rabbit in front of her on the frozen pond and the human behind her and then her offspring at her sides.

That world does sound wonderful! Her daughter said as her fur bristled.

Yes ONE is here! I feel it coursing through me! Her son added, his fur bristling as well.

(Did I do that? Of course I did and I actually enjoyed it. Wait!! What am I saying?)

It is time momma. Her daughter said grabbing his mother's right paw.

Yes momma. Her son said grabbing her left paw. Hail the synoptic!

The mother coati screamed as her fur bristled and she was awakened.

The three coatis then started marching toward the city to join the rest ONE's horde.

"Wait where are you going?" The little toucan protested. "What about me?!"

You have been rejected. Poa, the three coatis and the rabbit said in unison.

"But I want to be part of this new order too! Don't take my mom, brother and sister away!" The little toucan cried.

You are imperfect.

"Mommiee!!!!" The little toucan cried as we departed.

Unfortunate. But necessary. Poa said as we left the little avian on the frozen pond.

"That we are creating this new squeaky clean super world that is going to blow away all civilizations that came before it or that we just left a little beastial on his own to die in the forest after taking his family?" I said to my handler.

Make your point slave.

"Master how can we say we are bringing about a new order- where there is harmony, symmetry and peace when we are selectively deciding who and what is allowed to inhabit it? It is not right! We should welcome all."

(Did I just say that?)

Even those that do not have anything to offer little slave?

"Even those. What type of ruler does that?" I countered.

*ZAP*

"ACK!!!"

We will say who is to belong and not to belong slave.

"You mean harmony, symmetry and peace through suppression master?"

*ZAP*

"AUGH!! I mean please master let him come along and be with his family!!!"

Very well. Come boy we will not separate you. The synoptic said through me. I reached out my hand to the little toucan. He came willingly into the fold. He was slightly older than little Addy.

Poa, the coatis watched as the little beastial's plumage bristled during his awakening.

Thank you master. We will serve you loyally and faithfully until our last breath. The toucan said.

Poa and I watched as the mother coati held the paws of her cubs and walked back towards the city. The little toucan following behind. _ _

(No family should be separated.)

You are thinking about them. Your loved ones.

"Every moment of every day." I responded.

You miss them.

"Yes master."

As I made my admission a harpy landed in front of Poa and myself. She looked similar to the one Corbin, Corey, Rumble and I saw captured near World Five three months ago. Her human half was purple, with red eyes and snaggled teeth. Her avian half had broad brown wings and yellow talons.

"What is this master? Isn't it early for monsters to be about?" I asked.

She will assist us on our hunt.

"Really?"

We have decided that It is time for us to pay your colony a visit and give them the good news.... The harpy snickered as the synoptic said that.

Yes we agree no family should be left behind. Poa added.

Yes, let's let them know how much you miss them. The harpy echoed the comment.

"NO!!!"

To Be Continued....
