Counter Earth Chronicles - Fallen Empire

Chapter 103: Wolf's Hole

Day 206 (11AM a sharp ravine on our neighbor's property)

"Not good!! not good!! not good!!" I shouted running down the sixty degree slope toward the ravine's center. My legs and feet seemed like they were moving on their own speeding up the closer I got to the bottom of the hill. I tried to put on the brakes but tripped over something on the way down which sent me into a roll.

*WUD*

"Augh!!" I shouted as I hit something dark soft and fuzzy and breathing. "Sorry about that, I couldn't stop." I said looking up.

"It's alright, I am glad that you could drop in." A gritty voice said.

(Oh crap!)

"001?!"

"Hello meat." The werewolf said standing. He had changed since our last encounter; the dark black fur, sharp fangs and claws were still there but he looked even more feral.

"I thought you lived in Capital Stadium with the rest of the monsters!!" I stammered backing up.

"I moved." The creature growled. "You know I still owe you for that ambush you and the ram concocted. Oh and what you made me do afterwards too."

"But that was so long ago." I said smiling as the dark jet black creature that was easily the same size as Rumble or more grimaced as it trotted towards me.

"What if I told you that it was all Sir Ram's idea?"

"Don't care. I was forced to suck both of you off." The were-creature growled flashing his teeth.

I quickly scanned the bottom of the ravine at one end was a small cave probably fuzzy's lair and at the other end the remains of a pink sedan! That was what I was looking for!

"Sorry gotta go!!" I shouted running. I had to get to that hover vehicle!

"RAWWWWRR!!!" The black blur said taking off after me.

!!!

I was bit on the shoulder and throne into the hover vehicle hitting the left rear panel with my torso.

*OOF*

I was momentarily dazed, but quickly recovered darting underneath the vehicle.

*SCRATCH* *SCRATCH*

"Come out little human! I won't kill you- much." 001 said trying to dig underneath the vehicle to get to me.

I quickly emerged from the other side, placed both my hands on the roof and passenger door and pushed with all I had. I still don't know how I did it, but I rolled the vehicle right on top of him!

"GRRROOARR!!!"

"A lesson for you fuzzy on your best day you aren't half as good as I am on my worst day." I said staring him down.

The pink sedan had pinned the black werewolf underneath it; only his head, neck and arm were visible.

"Oh you are going to feel that in the morning." I quipped.

*GRIND*

"And that is why intelligence and cunning will beat ferocity and brute strength any place, anytime, anywhere!" I shouted.

"When I get free...!!!!"

"You will pay me back tenfold for the humiliation I just extracted? Add it to my tab."

*GROWL*

"But know this fuzzy, I am not the same terrified little human you threatened to kill in your lair all those years ago." I said studying the buried were-creature.

001 continued to struggle underneath the weight of the hover vehicle.

"Since that time, I have experienced a lot of shit and been through a shit that damn well should of ended me and you know what?"

"It *koff* has made you *koff* stronger?" Sir Ram's creation asked mocking me.

"I am no longer afraid of you." I said aiming the speartip of my weapon at his face. "Looks like being stuck between a vehicle and a hard place has given you some injuries, most likely internal. I can't stand to see an evil animal suffer.... perhaps a mercy killing is called for."

"YOU BASTARD!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!"

"Not if I put you down first fuzzy!!!" I shouted.

_Fourteen hours previously.... _

Day 205 (8:00 PM The conclusion of the mega meeting in Ms. Una's classroom)

"Abandon as in give up?" A lemming in attendance asked.

"The same." A penguin concluded.

"The builders of the space-gate have relocated to another planet entirely." Professor Stern said to the crowd in attendance.

"A planet that is rich in resources, flora and fauna and most importantly there is no monster king, synoptic or crazed amphibian with a homunculus trying to take over." The mongoose boy said backing up his adoptive mother.

"The builders have been living there for a number of years in a city the sister to this one." Arugula added.

"They have also been observing what has been happening on this world for some time and have decided to intervene."

"Intervene how?" A crocodile who had been silent during the entire meeting asked.

"They will allow us usage of the space-gate to leave Counter Earth and to resettle on their world." Lady Ursa said responding to Gahri. "At the second lost city right Dawn?"

"Exactly." The blond archeologist responded. "I have been there. It is three times the size of this city. It is a fixer upper but there is plenty of room."

"Dawn has been living there for the last four months with some other survivors. They built a huge garden and water system with the Chado's assistance." Corbin said.

"So the Chado is extending this invitation to all of us?" Gahri said asking another probing question.

Shakara and I looked at each other and then the dopey amphibian.

"Yes." Commander Rhinox responded.

"Hmm... what about Zhade?" The crocodile warrior asked.

"Yes what about Zhade?" A walrus in the crowd said echoing entity reject's question.

(Wow, three for three.)

"He is difficult to deal with." Shira said looking at her fellow co-leaders.

"I believe the word you are looking for is putz." Lady Barq admitted. "But everyone deserves a second chance. I would not damn him by forcing him to stay here on this world in these hellish times."

"No one should have to endure the what this colony has gone through for the last seven months." My pregnant brown bear said agreeing with the rhino, badger, and sabertooth tiger.

"What about our friends and allies?" Gahri said, finding his voice again.

"Someone seems to be full of questions this evening." Shakara said to me.

"We are going to reach out to Naka and his group, Kala and hers and even the new rebellion in World Four to see if they would be interested as well." Rhinox said.

"That is great when are we leaving?" The crocodile said in a follow up question. Everyone in attendance noticed the warrior with the blank stare was on a roll that evening.

"Yeah about that- the space-gate is very far from here. It is in a chasm in the prairie to the west of the former World One." Professor Stern admitted.

"We are still trying to figure out how to transport the entire colony there with just three hover vehicles that only seat two." The badger warrior admitted.

"Last I checked there weren't really any transport services around post apocalypse." Corey Collins replied sarcastically.

"Further, regular hover vehicles won't operate under the red sunlight that has predominated areas occupied by the synoptic." Corbin added.

"That was by design to keep the former cities of the empire isolated from each other." I interjected.

"So we have a fragment of an idea, that just needs to be fleshed out a little more." Gahri said.

"Indeed." Shira admitted.

"Until that happens, we are still in a holding pattern everyone." My fierce ursine warrior said.

"I want everyone to brainstorm this, sleep on it even. Then tomorrow give the four of us whatever idea or suggestion you have no matter how far fetched or crazy." Lady Barq said to all present. "Meeting ended. Thank you for coming."

All in attendance filed out of the central building as it was getting late. Shakara, Lady Ursa and I followed Corbin and Dawn back to our homes.

"Do you three want to stop by for a minute?" My sister's doppelgänger asked as she arrived home.

"Yeah, why not?" I said looking at my perfect person and my devious person.

My little brother was all smiles, glad to have Dawn back into his life after a four month absence.

And so Shakara, Lady Ursa and I sat down at their table while she poured us some tea.

"Is it great to be back home?" The dark tan lioness asked our host.

"Amazingly. But also weird because of the second home that Sorren, Sanda, Chemar, Cole and I were working on."

"You mean in many ways it felt like what the four of us did days after the fall to make this place our home." I said to the blond archaeologist.

"Yes pretty much." She said sitting down next to me and Shakara.

Since they were short on chairs, Corbin hopped onto her lap. I felt so happy for him.

"So did you think the meeting went over well?" The little boy asked.

"I think it did there were so many questions especially at the end from the crocodile with the blank expressionless face!" Dawn said.

"That is Gahri he is clueless most of the time but a valuable asset here." Lady Ursa said sipping her tea.

"Valuable? Him?" Ms. Stern asked.

"Yup he was touched by ONE and then the entity immediately released him." Shakara said. "He was unworthy."

"So was Zhade." I added as my fierce ursine warrior placed her cup back onto the table.

"Dawn about this planet the Chado inhabit what is it like?"

"From the limited research Sorren, Sanda, Chemar, Cole and myself were able to conduct it is a relatively young planet at the far edge of the universe."

"How far exactly Dawn?" My lioness asked.

"According to the Chado outside our galaxy and within another."

"Hopefully, a galaxy that ONE has not visited yet." The mongoose boy added.

"The atmosphere is a little richer than ours, the gravity is about the same but there are some differences."

"For instance Ms. Stern?" My pregnant she beast asked.

"Days and nights are about 36 hours in length. Years are a bit longer too than they are here and there are six seasons."

"Six?" I asked looking at my sister's doppelgänger.

"Yeah there is a dry season, wet season in addition to the other four. Oh and the sky-

it varies in color; it can range from beige, to blue, red, green and then black."

"That does sound interesting Dawn." Lady Ursa said.

"It has something to do with the two suns or maybe the three moons." The blond archaeologist said laughing. "Regardless it is a brand new world to see, many wonders discover and places to explore."

"What about the creatures that inhabit it?" The bear warrior asked.

"Very friendly momma bear." Corbin said.

"While searching for the second lost city we encountered these mud creatures, several large birds and even the Chado themselves. All of them were quite helpful showing us where to go." I replied.

"I think everyone will love it there madam knight."

"The problem is getting there." Shakara added. "I supposed we could transport a few residents at a time to the space-gate with the prototypes."

"We need at least two on site to augment our defenses meaning we can only spare one which holds only a pilot and copilot and who ever we can fit in the trunk." My bear knight said.

"That is going to take a long time to transport everyone here to the chasm." Corbin said pondering.

"Well perhaps someone will come up with an idea." My she beast said standing. "I guess we should call it a night it is getting late." *YAWN*

"Later adorably cute." The dark tan lioness said joining my mistress. "Welcome back professor."

"Night Shakara, momma bear, big brother." The little boy said smiling ear to ear.

"Logistics, logistics, logistics." I said as I followed my bear and lioness back to our home. "If it wasn't for that we would be out of here and the long night would be over."

"Don't worry little cutie we will figure it out." Shakara said.

"We just need to sleep on it." Lady Ursa said. "Corbin must really be in seventh heaven Shakara. *YAWN*"

"You noticed he didn't correct me either?" The horny lioness growled.

Twelve hours ago....

And so we returned home and settled down for some late evening fun. Well, my devious person and I did. Our strong fierce ursine warrior on the other paw...

*WHUMP*

*SNORE*

"Well that was rather abrupt. I didn't even get to give her, her essence of Winter."

"Big cutie, Rinox, Shira and Barq have been putting in a lot of hours strategizing, plotting and scheming on how to keep this colony safe from its enemies." The dark tan lioness said laying me down next to our sleeping warrior. It just means we will have to entertain ourselves."

I looked at that predatory grin of hers as she crawled toward me and could do nothing but smile. It looked like I would be her prey tonight. The next thing I felt was a soft paw rubbing something on my boy bits, then some rustling and then *GAH* penetration before I was pinned under some big tatas.

"There, all nice and comfy like."

"Your cleavage is divine my lioness."

"You are only saying that because Lea isn't here." She teased.

"Lea has Lian." I said lifting my head to nuzzle her. "And whatever is left of the Diamond City and you my lioness have your bear and your boy."

"Who I love very much." She smiled deviously. "And who love me too."

"Don't you ever think otherwise my lioness." I said nuzzling her. She nuzzled me right back.

"Thank you my little cutie and big cutie." She said gesturing to the snoring female brown bear right next to us. "I was truly blessed to find the both of you when I did. How about we finish up together?"

*AH*

"I would like to, but I don't think so Shakara." I replied moaning and groaning.

"And why not?" My devious person asked pouting.

"Hard to be sure but I suspect that it has something to do with those red eyes of yours, that broad feral smile, those big breasts, soft tan fur, those paws and your warm sex which is very accomdating to my penis right now."

"You can't hold on for just a little longer little cutie?"

At that moment, I reached out and pulled her right to me locking my legs around hers. "Sorry my love... cumming! Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!"

(Womb painted.)

"Mmmm, so warm and silky..." The lioness growled.

"Hey aren't you going to say something about receiving your warm happy?" I asked When I could form a coherent thought again.

It was then I felt her cub tunnel spasming, clenching my penis like an inner hand. My lioness was experiencing her own orgasm.

"I love you Alex Winter."

"I love you Shakara Kubari." I responded to my big cat. "There is something about the feline form that is so magnificent, so beautiful."

"Even more so than the ursine form little cutie?"

"The ursine form is also magnificent in its own way, even the centaur and gorilla and canid forms as well." I said as the dark tan lioness straddled my hips with my retracting penis still burried in her sex.

"Interesting you should say that because..."

"Because of what Shakara?"

"It is beginning." The red eyed lioness said rubbing the naked brown bear's belly."

"Shakara?"

"Our bear is starting to show."

"But it has been only a few weeks!"

"If you stare at it just right." The dark tan lioness said pointing. "Look!"

I looked at where my devious person was pointing.

"You are right! The end of our bear hugs is in sight!" I said pouting.

"Perhaps, but not tonight." My devious person said backing off of my penis. We each selected a side of our snoring pregnant bear. She chose Lady Ursa's right and I chose her left. Deftly we lifted the ursine warrior's arms to move around to our backs and points lower as we found the perfect spots to lay down our heads to sleep. My mistress' paw did seem to find my ass awfully quick.

*SQUEEZE*

(Was she really sleeping?)

Three hours ago...

Day 206 (7:15 AM The eating place.)

"How about this? What if we just formed a giant caravan and walked southwest until we reached the chasm?" A pregnant blond suggested.

"That would be a long and dangerous walk Melinda." Our fierce ursine warrior said.

"And very hard on you and the life growing inside of you." Shakara added.

"But we would have the coupes to protect us." Milton chimed in.

"Against all the bad nasties out there. We sat in with Naka and his colony for a spell a while ago. It was rough to say the least." I said to our colony's groomer and stylist.

"But thank you for the suggestion." Lady Ursa said as our centaur server arrived.

"So what will it be?" Dianna asked.

"What do you have?" I asked.

"Tuna fish. It is very popular with a lot of the patrons this morning."

I looked past the she centaur to another table where Haem, Sandu and Linias were enjoying the catch of the day.

(As long as it wasn't us.)

"We will have the same." My mistress said as an otter girl approached.

"Morning madam knight, healers."

"Tippi and how is our favorite otter this morning?" Lady Ursa asked.

"Homesick." She replied. "But I got to thinking; the caravan that my mother and I were traveling with, they have large hover vehicles that could accommodate a lot of passengers."

"But Tippi you said that you didn't know where that nexus you fled from was located." I said looking down at her.

"I didn't but my mother's hover vehicle probably could find it."

"You mean the vehicle you wrecked trying to get back to World Two?" Lady Ursa said raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah you would bring that up." She pouted.

(A lot of spunk that one has.)

"It is feasible big cutie! That vehicle could lead us back to Dongo and Doria's caravan."

"Which we could then transport everybeast to the chasm and off of this planet!" I added. "That is the best idea I have heard."

"You are welcome." The otter girl said seeing that we were pleased.

"It will also be dangerous." The brown bear said bringing us back to reality. "Tippi do you remember exactly where you crashed?"

The otter girl thought for a moment. "Where the blue sky ended and the red sky began east of that stadium."

"In our neighbor's backyard." My devious person responded.

"Mistress we could use the probes on the red and blue prototypes."

"That would just leave the silver prototype here to augment our forces and it doesn't have a working probe." My perfect person said strategizing.

"It is that logistics thing again- how much of our assets do we expend on this very important mission?"

"Good point pet we also have to keep the colony safe at all costs." My bear warrior said thinking.

One hour ago....

"Wow Mr. Winter this vehicle is amazing!" Tippi said.

"The prototypes were developed to augment the Knights of Wundagore's forces." I replied.

*Exactly Ms. Otter this may look like an ordinary blue coupe, but it is a very sophisticated weapon.*

"That much is obvious ah..."

"Overwatch. That is what we call the automated assistant for the blue coupe."

*We are reaching the border of the synoptic's territory Mr. Winter.*

"Yeah past this point is blue skies, but we are still in our neighbor's backyard though. Tippi does this look familiar?"

The she otter was silent.

**Mr. Winter I have an incoming communication from Lady Barq.* *

"Alex have you and Tippi found anything?"

"Negative." I said to my mistress' friend and rival.

"I can't tell. I think it is around here." The she otter said.

"Overwatch?"

*The surveillance probe is not detecting anything a mile in either direction.*

"I am not seeing anything either." The badger warrior remarked.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

"Lady Barq?"

"It is from the Lost City, I am being recalled. It looks like another incursion!"

"Damn we should head back too." I said dejected.

"No keep searching. I think the red and silver prototypes should be enough for now. Just be careful. Barq out."

"I think it should have been around here." The she otter said getting out of the blue coupe.

"Tippi that is not being careful! You just exposed us to anyone that is nearby!"

"But the computer said that there wasn't anything around us for a mile!" The she beast protested.

"Overwatch deploy the probe conduct an aerial search."

**Acknowledged Mr. Winter.* *

"Tippi we need to get back inside the hover vehicle right now. We are sitting...

!!!

"Get down!" I shouted pushing the otter girl out of the way as something dove out of the sky.

*WHOOSH*

"Alex!" I heard Tippi scream.

"Well look at what I caught!" A purple beast said looking down at its talons. "My liege will be so pleased."

"Um, howdy neighbor?" I said grinning sheepishly to the wyvern with the yellow eyes, tattered wings, purple scalie body and snake-like head that had just captured me.

"I am Animus. It is quite brazen of you to trespass in our territory after our king called for your destruction." The creature said lifting me higher and higher into the sky.

I watched Tippi dive back into the prototype which engaged its holo-projector and disappeared.

(At least she is safe.)

"We were only defending ourselves Animus."

"After you seized our property." The creature hissed.

"If you are talking about Haem, Sandu and Linias they came to us seeking refuge. We did not seize them."

"Lies!"

"Ok so let's agree to disagree then." I said checking my grappling hook.

"Negative my liege is quite irritated with you underground dwellers."

"Why? Was it the crushing defeat we gave you or all the warriors you lost during your last attack?"

That last quip pissed off the creature because I was unceremoniously dropped from the sky.

!!!

"Happy landing human. Remember it isn't the fall that kills you, it is the sudden stop." The creature countered.

(I really need to learn to keep my big mouth shut!)

I quickly aimed the tip of my grappling hook toward the creature and fired.

*THOKK!!*

*AWK!!*

I succeeded in hitting its wing which slowed my descent slightly because I was bringing Animus with me. We continued tumbling toward the planet together.

I retracted my hook winding right next to the creature.

"No thanks, I am allergic to sudden death, it makes me break out in a nasty rash." I shouted as I climbed onto his back from his wing just in time.

*SMACK*

Animus hit the ground hard. How hard? Hard enough for me to be thrown clear. I tumbled down an incline into a ravine.

*OOF*

It was a miracle that I didn't break anything. The incline was about a sixty degree angle and the bottom was just deep enough to be outside the scanning range of the probe.

"Did you have a nice fall?" A gritty voice asked.

"I made out better than Animus if that is what you mean." I said checking myself for injuries as tall, dark, mass of fur loomed menacingly over me. "YOU."

"Hello meat."

Now....

"How do you want it? In the eyes, or perhaps the artery you will bleed out rather quickly."

"As long as it isn't *koff* *koff* an unending night servicing you and that damn ram *koff*."

"That was a suitable revenge fuzzy- your fur was so very warm." I said taunting the were-creature. "Or maybe I will just leave you to bleed internally."

001 started to respond but ended up coughing again- red blood.

My attention was directed to the hover vehicle resting on top of him. Its front was smashed, the door had been pulled off and the majority of the windows shattered. There were also drag marks from the driver's side door. Probably where the monsters had pulled out Tippi when she had been captured.

"What are you *koff* looking at?"

"The key to everything!" I shouted.

"HEY FRECKLES ARE YOU OK?" I heard a snarky teen call out to me.

I looked toward the top of the ravine to see Tippi, Corey and Rumble staring back down at me. She had brought backup!

(Smart girl!)

"Outstanding." I replied.

And so...

"...you really wrecked that wyvern..." Rumble grumbled.

"I didn't have much of a choice, it was trying to kill me."

"Wait, your mom's vehicle is pink?" The snarky teen said teasing the otter girl.

"...nice color..." The former lab creature said examining the hover vehicle.

"She seemed to think so." Tippi responded.

"We have to figure out how to get this thing out of here and back to the colony."

"Not going to be easy- the bottom of the ravine is narrow and the sides are somewhat steep." Mr. Collins responded.

"What are is so interesting *koff* about that hover vehicle?" The black werewolf asked.

"Never you mind fuzzy." I said to 001.

"Wow, that looks uncomfortable." The snarky teen responded.

"...very..." Rumble grumbled.

"EEK!!!" Tippi screamed realizing that her mom's vehicle had something underneath it. She darted behind Rumble and hid.

"Something wrong?" The black haired teen asked.

The otter girl nodded and trembled violently.

"Hello little morsel." The black were-creature said eyeing her.

"It is just 001. That creature was the first manbeast experiment Sir Ram ever conducted." I said trying to calm her.

"A former human turned into a beastial?" The snarky teen asked.

"A crazed blood-thirsty soulless killing machine." I countered.

"NO!!! HE IS THE MONSTER KING!!" Tippi squealed.

The brown werewolf, Corey and myself looked at the terrified otter girl before staring back at the black werewolf.
