Astaroth # 8

Astaroth Ankh the batmorph, it's characters, (and the concepts of the unholy utopia, the altered evolution and such are MY CREATION, so no one can claim them, but I might lend them to any Yiffstar authors.) This is ADULT MATERIAL, with lots of violence. If you are a minor you should NOT read this material or where seeing this material is forbidden. If you're an adult, enjoy this! The Aspartian fox race is taken from Professor Bob's Kayla series.

(Aster recalled a series of strange images of his deceased family in familiar and unknown places as he went thru the Drakkar-heim's wurm-hole).

'Then Aster began to remember the weird dream that he had while traveling thru the dimensional portal. But... those images that he saw were dreams of a dead family that he longed, or glimpses of alternate realities in a multidimensional universe'.

-Astaroth Ankh - Chapter #4: A new world and a new nightmare.

Aster and 'Lutin' felt exhausted when they finished their last details in preparing the dimensional portal and started to organize the primitive laboratory.

'Lutin' frowned as he voiced his fears about the current project. "Are you sure that these explosive charges will render the portal useless?"

Aster rolled his eyes: "You are too nervous about this whole situation, but I would be damn terrified also if I would suspect that these devices would fall into the enemy's hands. When I first meet you, there was a disastrous incident involving a sect trying to get into their possession a teleporting artifact just like this one. I'm not glad for the luck that they had, but I'm glad that those cultists never reached their goal of destroying my family's home world or causing any casualties on planet Earth".

Lutin said: "Well, I don't fell sorry for them!"

Aster countered: "Well, let me remember you that after centuries of violence, terror propaganda and prejudice our winged race is almost extinct. Sometimes we're glad that something bad happens to someone because we believe that they are evil, but most of those cultists weren't evil, just having a blind faith on the wrong furs. They suffered a lot when that artifact backfired on them, just like our race suffered centuries ago, when the emperor declared on our race a final solution."

Lutin lowered his head in shame: "Sorry! But I'm mad at how that multitude at the tiger's party yelled at you without reason."

Aster smiled when he saw his brother's concern behind that angry comment and kissed the sibling's forehead.

Aster said: "I know that we're having a rough time, but we have to be kind with others and keep a cool head against the enemy." Then Aster mused: "Sometimes I wonder why everyone obsessed with finding those artifacts."

Lutin retorted: "It's all about greed and domination, pure and simple. These artifacts are a convenient way of exerting illegitimate power into others, just like that murderous tiger that we found some months before. Centuries ago, the new Emperor ordered our extermination and the subsequent elimination of our genetic and psychic bloodline, apparently because our old leaders fought against him before he became an emperor. Their royal sages had figured out the way our race manipulates energy and applied that knowledge in portal contruction, in the same way a zoologist studies a bee's wings and emulate their shape to make an airplane's wing."

"He was shit-scared and felt that our race was an imminent threat to the Empire for the way our ancestors decimated five Imperial legions and took no prisoners. So he ordered the construction of teleporting artifacts to make his armies fight our guerrilla warriors on what he thought were equal terms. Both the Imperial legions and our race suffered a Phyrric victory, even when the enemy had tripled their manpower. This war gave the empire a deathly blow, which those blasted cultists seized as an opportunity to conquer that our race's planet like a spider waiting to for the kill."

Aster nodded: "We are capable of achieving things that seems impossible to do for other races, but our numbers weren't enough centuries ago to survive an attrition war and we didn't have the trust of those regents in ancient times. Apparently it's better for any commander to equip a bunch of teleportation artifacts to a platoon loyal to him rather than risk our warriors' desertion or betrayal, but at the cost of exerting a limit in the duration on which those artifacts can be used, or have those artifacts stolen by the enemy".

Aster scratched his furry ears as he saw the portal: "Fuck! Making this equipment on our own is costing us a small fortune, I can't imagine how costly it would be for a king to equip an entire regiment."

'Lutin' smirked: "Fortunately, we don't need it. Our race could survive butt-naked anywhere, steal the enemy's technology and attack them with whatever weapons they have cached. We won't loose any tactical advantage since we don't need any technology or machines to remain combat ready, travel where we want to, or even if the legends are true, manipulate the very fabric of the universe at our whim. We would be capable of winning any war if we could stay at the same technological level as our enemies. It's ironic that someone artificially changed our evolutionary path and gave us these abilities with the sole purpose of using us as cannon fodder, but these abilities saved us from total extinction. Those idiots! I'm glad that we finished this portal on time. Now our adopted family will have a better chance of surviving if we are absent during our patrols, or if unfortunately... something bad would happen to us."

Aster interrupted: "But there's something creepy about the kind of artifacts that we have collected and I can't point my finger at what's amiss. I will have to ask 'Mouse' when she wakes up about dad's artifacts. This is some sort of technology that only 'Mouse' is able to understand, and no one else."

'Lutin' snapped his paw digits as he got a brainstorm: "While we wait for her, can we remove the metal sheets and hammer parallel notches along the surface."

Aster asked: "Why would we have to do that?"

'Lutin' replied: "If we pack gun powder under the metal sheets they will explode and break up easier, so the wolves or other enemies won't have the chance to analyze the runes written on them. The enemy will never be able to figure out how the runes channel that energy, and therefore they won't be able to construct a new wurm-hole portal. Also, the metal sheets will serve as shrapnel and kill the enemy. Nasty!"

Aster liked the idea but grimaced at the task ahead.

'Lutin' said: "I'm glad that we are only making gunpowder in such small quantities. I don't even want to think what the wolves would do if they knew how to use it."

Astaroth replied while signaling to the dimensional arch: "I do not think that this so called 'medieval' world is as primitive as it looks if those dragons are able to construct something like that portal. Those scaled, son of a snake are monopolizing and restricting this technology for the same reason that most people wanted us and our race killed. Those dragons want to illegitimately control us and limit anyone's access to that kind of technology so nobody could ever hope to raise arms and rebel against this regime."

It was almost sundown when Amanda stretched and yawned, felling better after a nice sleep. She stopped rubbing her eyes as she saw the tired bat siblings staggering towards her like a pair of zombies. She felt guilty at letting the boys kill themselves with such hard work so she carried them on her back. When the youngsters came home they bathed and devoured their supper, not after Aster dunk his face and slept on the soup. After Amanda cleaned Aster's face, both bats went to bed exhausted. Katherine was upset because they were not cooperating on the house chores as usual and had recently picked up the habit of coming late, excessively tired. They looked like they are working on something, but...what is it?! The fox mother had to find out and stop this nonsense before the cubs would get ill.

Two nights later, at midnight...

Katherine sighed. She hoped to surprise the cubs and ask them for explanations, but tonight they went home thru another route. She cursed her luck as she walked down the brick path and saw something written with huge letters on the wall, lit with torches. It reads: "BEWARE! For your own security, you must not cross beyond this point without authorization. If you disregard this message, we are NOT responsible for your security." She was going to cross anyway but she noticed something wrong on the brick road ahead. She picked up a stone and tossed it in front of her. Seconds later when she thought that it was safe to walk, a series of six-feet spikes, like the ones she saw once in an old Indiana Jones movie sprung from the floor. The spikes were capable of impaling anyone standing on the brick path. Her eyes almost went out of her sockets. She thought: "I heard Amanda saying to 'Mouse' that when Aster and her were captured in Dragon city, a lioness who was implicated in a revolt was killed inside a trap filled tunnel. She died because she wasn't able to find a deactivating key."

She thought: "I wonder if..." She stopped when she saw a bronze door with a number keypad and both foxes' names; Amanda also had her name written in a copper plate and the rest of the family as well. In Kate's copper plate was written: "Dear mom, in case of emergency if you forgot your password, remember your birth date." She frowned: "If these cubs where going to build something to protects William and me, why didn't they tell us?" She dialed her birth-date number and a brick fell to the floor seconds later. She introduced her paw inside the gap and found a huge key, a backpack and a parchment map indicating several keyholes along the road. She searched for the first keyhole as she picked up another stone from the floor...

So after walking half an hour thru some labyrinth-like corridors, she opened the final keyhole and found a gigantic dimensional portal, about twenty-seven feet tall by sixty-five feet wide. It was so massive that it could move a whole city's population anywhere. The gigantic steel device was humming softly and when Katherine touched the apparently solid, mirror sheen surface, it rippled like a lake's surface when someone drops a pebble. Against her best judgment she shoved her arm elbow deep and was pulled towards the dimensional portal with such strength that the thought that a giant arm pulled her inside as a blinding white light surrounded her.


The increasing nausea and dizziness assaulted her senses as she tried to recognize her surroundings to no avail. She picked up her backpack as she made an effort not to puke. She was surprised when she felt a cold metal surface beneath her and not the soft, gritty cave sand. Around her stood hundreds of giant square-shaped mineral deposits, painted with huge yellow numbers. She was inside one of many inter-stellar, siderurgic spaceship! These starships were designed to process any asteroid ore into diverse alloys while traveling millions of lights years back to the Earth's Solar System. But how did she end in this place?! She felt a pang of fear when she realized she was alone, but she assumed that the cubs would be safe in the hut with William. Now her only priority is getting back to the Dragon's continent before the wurm-hole closes. She gasped when she saw the dimensional portal closing. Shit!

Now she was stuck in this spaceship. She found no cryogenic chambers, only an emergency rejuvenating equipment and some dehydrated food capsules, some of them apparently consumed by the ship's crew. She prayed that this ship was a short distance cruiser. Katherine padded nervously inside the gargantuan metallic tube trying to find the central navigation computer in hopes of discovering the starship's destination. She could only hear her own breathing and a faint whistle, much like the wind howling. She prayed that this tear-shaped leviathan would travel to one of the main automated factories or galactic distribution centers. If she were right, she would possibly pick up a hyper-speed freighter back to Earth. Suddenly, she heard a noise and ran towards its source. She sighed in despair when she saw only some robotic arms and other automated machines preparing raw minerals into a variety of alloy slabs for diverse manufacturing products.

Great! A robotic ship meant no crew to ask for information or help. She gasped when she felt someone tip toeing behind her. A shipmate? Impossible! She crawled silently towards the noise, and to her surprise she saw a black Aspartian kit fox, a few years younger than Amanda looking at Kate with BIG, round terrified eyes. The diminutive vixen had NO tattoos on her paws, meaning she wasn't rejuvenated or came into contact with Earth's culture. She took a few steps back, and then she bolted away like she was chased by the hellhounds. As Katherine turned and chased the kit fox, she noticed that the small vixen stumbled against a bigger Aspartian fox, which manhandled the kit fox violently. The adult fox held a sharpened iron piece against the cub's neck.

He said icily to the child: "It seems that I found a certain betraying bitch. Awww! The little slut is crying because mommy sold her and left her alone. If no one wants to use your well-abused cunt, then I'll gut you open and sell your kidneys and body organs. But before, I'll see if your ass is still tight."

Katherine growled as the grabbed the adult fox's arm and threw him to a metal panel like he was a rag doll. That young fox was very strong, but he couldn't compare which a female fox-centaur five times stronger.

The adult male fox howled like a kicked pup. He older fox thought before fainting: "What a healthy, strong body! Ugh! Must have...strong workers." The kit fox's mouth was hung open as she trembled like a leaf.

Kate addressed to the scared cub with a soft voice: "Don't be scared little one, I'll take care of you." When she began to touch the vixen's head, the female reacted and tried to run away, only to be caught by the tail. Kate tried to calm the cub, only to get bitten by the panicked youngster on the left arm. In spite of the pain Kate held the girl firmly as the adult fox tried to calm the kit down with a soothing voice. Eventually the girl stopped to struggle and instead she started to cry incessantly, making a louder ruckus than when he tried to escape Katherine. Kate cradled the tired kit in the same way she did when 'Lutin' was hurt. She was horrified when she looked closer at her.

The kit was only fur and bones and she looked even worse that Aster's body after when he had been in that hospital, after his family assasination. She began to milk herself, and give the nourishing liquid to the kit mouth to mouth since the girl didn't have enough strength to suckle. She heard increasing rumors back on Earth about homeless Aspartian foxes scurrying into spaceships to planet Earth, or working in dangerous places as cheap labor. The young vixen had a bushy black tail and had the same dark color all over her body, except for a white tip on her tail and a white belly. Kate noticed a spider-shaped tattoo on the child's left leg while she gave to the kit some herbal medicine. Kate frowned when she saw the same tattoo on the adult fox's neck. Was there some relation between these two?

******

The next morning, at the portal's entrance...

Aster asked 'Lutin': "I still don't get why the promise that a young, idealistic leader made centuries ago about 'making a better world' was transformed into that bogus religion?"

Lutin said: "Well, this soldier died decades before the last 'holly' war started but the last war's leaders disfigured the lad's hope of 'fighting for a world worth living', changing it generation after generation into its present form. Then they sold this lie at knifepoint as a justification to start the last war. On top of that they used the people's frustration towards the previous conflicts not only to overthrow the last monarchy, but also to launch a series of wars against its neighboring states".

" In this way they imposed their 'faith' all over the continent. Now our planet is in worse situation than Aspartia. In that red-sky planet, a small but well organized vulpine mob arose to power, stole all the government funds and maintained themselves as a small elite. On the other hand in our planet, a plethora of religious and ideological groups are fighting not only for a piece of the action, but for crushing the opposition and try to construct a vestige of the last unified Empire. The blows they have given to each other are still open wounds that caused them to be separated and they're not able even to achieve common goals for mutual benefit. If they keep fighting, they won't be able to organize an effective government, either to rebuild their nation efficiently or to get rid of the enemies before the warlords and kings get impaled by their foes. If only they weren't so isolated and had this technological restriction. Even the aristocrats who were rich generations ago in the Dragon's country are now nothing more than impoverished hoodlums and cutthroats, with the same bestial perverseness that existed in the criminals on planet Earth's past centuries. Like a certain lion family on Drakkarheim, who tried to take by force the Dragon's throne by enslaving you, Aster."

Aster answered:"Yeah, but all they got as a result is a comfy dungeon with personalized torture, moldy bread, harrasment and abuse for twenty-four hours inside a hanging cage. With a nice view of mutilated corpses."

The two bats were going to seal down the tunnel so that only the Dickinson family would be able to use it, but when the winged brothers neared the entrance, they noticed that something was quite wrong. Aster's eyes widened in alarm when he saw a bronze panel removed: "Mother's key slot is open?!"

'Lutin' felt a pang of fear in his chest as he whispered: "Oh no! In the name of the ancestors, I hope that Mom didn't fell into a floor trap!"

Both bats flew and crawled upside-down thru the tunnels' ceiling, until they reached the teleportation hall. The older bat felt a knot in his stomach as he thought: "I hope that Mother didn't make the same mistake as that cultist, old female... I have fear of even going inside the portal hall and face the truth." Aster sighed with relief: "Mom got safely thru the portal. I can see the green light in the portals arch!"

He asked to his younger brother: "What do you see on the dimensional map?"

'Lutin' looked at the massive planetary model and replied: "It will take about six and a half hours for the portal to realign where Mom is supposed to be."

Aster yelled to his younger brother: "Fetch everyone and bring them here in this moment!"

Aster was fuming as he took an ink vial and smashed it against the wall: " I can't imagine what Amanda and William's reaction would be when they find out. We must bring her back now! Shit! If she dies, I don't want Will and Amanda to suffer like I had when my family died. I can't allow myself to cry."

Half an hour later...

Will muttered to himself: "I can't understand why Kate activated this artifact instead of asking any of you!"

Aster said: "It's all my fault. We didn't tell her because we are not the only telepaths around here, remember. Both of you would be in danger if you two knew about the portal's existence, but that's not important. Dad, when I first found the scroll artifact, I mishandled it and set the whole kitchen on fire, remember. These devices are dangerous if you do NOT know how to use them, and Mom's curiosity got the best of her. She ignored the warning signs and accidentally activated the door". Aster grimaced when he remembered the hard spanking he got after he burned the house.

Amanda handed to her father a backpack and a special weapon that Will had been working on the past months: "There you have some medicines, food, and a surprise for anyone who decides to pester you. Quick! The portal is already closing, and you have only six hours to locate Mom and go back!"

Will kissed Amanda on the forehead and dashed to the dimensional door. Moments later he find himself surrounded by an intense white light, and then he's inside... a starship's anti-matter engine room?! William took some time to read the ship's computerized map and locate the ship's navigation room.

He thought: "If you took the wrong bus, the first thing you would ask the driver is where is the bus heading to".

So Will guessed that Kate would go to find the starship's destination. So William started to walk kilometers and kilometers filled with millions of stacked alloy plates, mineral cubes and...some piles of food residues and dried shit? What is all this reeking garbage doing inside an automated spaceship? William was flabbergasted when he padded a few meters more and found himself surrounded by hundred of fellow Aspartian foxes, mostly females and kits. What appalled to him most was their health, most of them looked like languishing skeletons, barely able to stand, sleep, or walk in search for food scraps. It brought William some painful memories about how they lived before his mother and siblings had to travel and work at a rich man's house on Earth. The younger foxes had to pay for his father's medical treatment. But at least he was able to enjoy his parent's company until both died of natural causes. In spite of his work he had a happier childhood than most foxes. He snapped out of it when a young orange, male fox stood in front of William and tried to stop Will's progress with a small knife.

The young fox said: "I do not know who you are, but you are violating the curfew and you're in our territory. Stop hiding in those shadows and raise your paws."

William growled like a running engine while he showed his ivory fangs. The would-be gang soldier instinctively knew when he had more than he could handle and took a step backwards. That was is second mistake; he first was threatening a giant fox-centaur, twice the delinquent's size with only a knife. So, in seconds Will subdued the younger fox, punched him in the stomach until he lost his breath and chained him.

William thought of how fortunate he was for buying that shape-shifting scroll: " Don't deny that you're into a street gang, because I can recognize that spider tattoo anywhere. Tell me everything you know about your group, and about this place. If not, your buddies won't like your appearance when I finish with you!"

William hoped that bluffing an empty threat would work, but the young fox spat on his face, making William loose his temper: "If you refuse to cooperate, then I will add a little incentive."

William removed the backpack's leather strap and used it as a belt. The younger fox scoffed him but he didn't take into consideration the fox-centaur's greater strength. He used the fox's poop-smelly trousers as a gag. WHAP! SLAP! WHAM! William started to methodically whip the chained fox. Soon the grown fox squirmed as he gave a muffled cry. Will's stomach was feeling upset after tuning the fox's back, thighs and butt cheeks purple and black. Will bit his lower lip when he realized the way he hit and almost drew blood out of that young fox.

He took some herbal medicine and applied some to the adolescent's body: "This is not nano-medicine, but it will work nicely. Cooperate with me and I won't use burning fire-weed juice on your welts." Will felt really bad for attacking physically anyone, but he hoped that scaring these delinquents out of their wits without really hurting them would work.

Meanwhile...

Kate began to worry, as the kit fox was still unconscious. The beating that the weakened kit received from that adult fox was more than enough put his life in peril. Kate's eyes began to shed tears of relief as the fox boy started to cough weakly.

She said gravely: "You saved me?! But why did you do it? No one would give a damn about me!"

Kate smiled tenderly at the fox girl and said: "I cannot look at a fellow Aspartian suffering, especially not a cub."

With agile paws the kit fox began to rummage in Katherine's backpack. Kate warned her: "Be careful, dear. You won't find any food inside that backpack"

To her surprise, the kit fox pulled out and aimed a six-shooter gun at Kate.

The girl's increasing desperation turned into frustration and anger: "Now shut your muzzle, take your backpack and keep going. I have a debt to pay!"

Kate was outraged as she addressed to the kit coldly: "So, this is the way you pay me for feeding, healing and defending you against that asshole. Answer to me, little punk!"

A tear rolled on the fox girl's cheek as she felt a pang of regret: " I'm sorry, but the gang has taken my mom as a hostage since she failed to pay for the trip. They have already kidnapped and sold me as a sex slave in order to pay her debt. But as you have seen, nothing is enough for them. So I must trade you in exchange for her."

Kate was surprised as she remembered the comments that the delinquent adult fox said to the cub before hurting her and said: "Are you sure that they will keep their promise and uphold the bargain?"

The kit replied: "No, but what kind of choice do I have?"

Kate frowned when she saw her backpack's content: "You know that I could take that gun from your paws any time I want."

The kit fox replied: "Yes, but as you said, I can't trust that gang if they're doing all that to me and my mother."

Kate tried to negociate with the kit fox: "And that's why I'm helping you to succeed in this charade so you can join her! You must be pretty desperate to gamble with the 'Devil' and still hope that both your mother and you would survive".

Katherine used her new feathery wings to travel above all the gang patrols that roamed around the ship's deck in search for this gang-lord. The small cub sat on her back and aimed the revolver at Kate's head. The kit moved the weapon menacingly as she gestured Katherine where to go. Little by little, dozens of eyes glared menacingly toward Kate and the kit fox as an increasing cacophony of howls was heard. Kate ordered the kit fox to jump onto her back when she landed. She readied herself in a judo stance.

Soon, the howlings stopped and the place was quiet again, until the foxes rushed in and surrounded the fox centaur. Kate was confident in her superior strength as he punched and clobbered foxes with her strong paws. She didn't take into consideration that she was fighting in the enemy's territory as more and more foxes joined the fray. The combat took longer than expected but at the end, the fox gang won by sheer numbers. Those who weren't seriously injured carried the centaur vixen to their turf like an army of minuscule ants would haul a huge grasshopper. They failed to notice that Kate's eyes were glowing with an emerald light, as a telepathic contact was made.

Katherine woke up as she felt a warm liquid saturating her orange fur. She was seething with anger when she felt that a group of foxes were scent-marking her with their urine. She was about to be defiled by the whole gang and force her to become a prostitute. An old vixen inserted in Kate's rectum an aphrodisiac and some mild drug, which made her loose her inhibitions. The pack ogled at her, as a soldier tried to insert his penis against the Kate's anal ring. Anther soldier took the chance as he inserted his fingers and tongue inside Kate's vulva as he started to lick and finger fuck her. Soon her body betrayed her as she felt a burning in her nether region that slowly transformed into a series of recurrent and insistent contractions. She couldn't avoid moaning. The lustful fox took it as a signal to pump harder in her ass. Kate never felt so dirty and ashamed, as tears ran down her cheeks. He aphrodisiacs made her so slick that the male fox below introduced his whole forearm inside her as he pawed himself off. Kate was so aroused that she didn't care who fist-fucked her as she began to tremble violently, fracturing the fox's arm inside her. He yelped like he was scalded as his accomplices began to laugh hysterically.

One of the lieutenants smirked as he rubbed his paw inside Kate's nether region. He smirked: "Well, you are a strong bitch. You are worth a lot more money as a factory worker than as a sex slave. But I'm clueless since I never have seen anyone like you before. From which planet do you come from? You won't talk? Perhaps you will tell me after I throw that cub thru the airlock. No... Well, it doesn't matter. That cub will bleed to death anyway".

Then the gang leader said: "Oh, by the way child, say hello to your mother!"

In that moment the gang leader pulled a huge fabric, which revealed the body of a middle-aged vixen submerged in chemicals that preserved her mauled corpse. Her frozen facial expression was one of horror and suffering as her black neck-marks revealed how she was killed. Suffocation. He said coldly: "She was a born leader and could have organized a mutiny on this ship. But my boss wanted all the live refugees he could find, no escapees, and especially no Starfleet. So I had to kill her, or my boss would order that I had my neck cut wide open. Some of them may die, so we also turn a profit from the dead so even the corpses could pay for the fuel.

"I bet she liked the way I fucked and ripped her ass, and even her cold corpse was a good lay. Uhhh... She had quite good orgasm while I strangled her. She got off at least a dozen times while I bit and drew blood from those tits. Sometimes you can get off harder if someone is chocking you to death. The way she screamed my name while I raped and tortured her."

The fox girl whispered: "Even if you didn't kill my mom, you are dead mister!"

Kate managed to growl in spite of having a rag stuffed in her muzzle. That degenerate fox was trying to terrorize her by showing her that body, but instead she was infuriated. The leader said to his underlings: "You may fuck her ass or mouth, but her cunt is mine. I want her to give me a cub litter cuz' she looks clean, healthy and doesn't have any V.D. (Venereal disease) that could cripple the newborns." Then the fox outlaw frowned as he saw a flash of blue light. Then another blue light appeared...and another. He yelled to one of the guards: "Charlie, there's a weird situation going on. I'm seeing some suspicious blue lights nearby. Contact the guards and tells them to double their patrols."

Ten minutes, the soldier came back quite alarmed: "Boss, we have lost contact with all the gang members. Instead I saw a group of cubs wearing the gang's uniform. They were even wearing their undergarments. I threatened those cubs but I wasn't able to get an answer from them. This may sound crazy, but it's like all our soldiers vanished into the thin air because I can't find them inside the ship, nor their bodies are floating outside."

The gang lieutenant was flabbergasted. The gang leader grabbed Katherine by the hair as he aimed at her with the revolver. He said: "I'm surrounded by idiots! I do not know how did you managed to defeat my guards, but show your face NOW!"

In that moment a vicious fight broke on as a giant furry figure leaped out of a blue light as William attacked the fox that was anally raping Kate. The fox didn't have a chance as William punched, bit and clawed him with such strength that the fox felt that a truck hit him. Even Kate and the rest of the foxes were horrified as William left him unconscious. The rapist saw his entire life pass in front of him in mere seconds. Aster had to teleport him to safety.

The gang leader yelled: "Remain still or I'll use this gun to make in your chest a new asshole. You sure are strong and got balls to fight toe to toe with my foxes. I'll give you that, and if that fool was stupid enough to fuck your bitch, you may do with him whatever you want!"

William roared: "My father used to be a gang member until someone crippled his back during a fight, so I ended up in Earth. I know how you think young punk, and all you care is your operation or piece of the action. Am I right? Sorry but the party is over!"

The fox outlaw aimed the six-shooter not noticing an emerging blue light: "It ain't finished until I say so!" BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! Click! The degenerate vulpine thought: "Who the hell took the rest of the bullets!"

The little vixen smiled when she saw the criminal's panic: "Good work centaur! Now let your anger take over you and break the hoodlum's neck."

He protested like a spoiled cub: "What the fuck! I shoot three times at you. How could I have missed at such short range? Yeow! Who cut my leg!"

In that moment Aster materialized with a sharp bone knife: "I'm sorry I have disobeyed you, Dad. But if I didn't make telepathic contact with mom, you would have become a prisoner too. Lutin and I had tricked the rest of the gang members into stepping into a wurm-hole. We immobilized them one by one with a net. Amanda is rejuvenating the rest of the gang as we speak, so you could expect a fair fight." The gang leader thought that he was hearing an insolent kit fox, until he saw the wings. The young delinquent's jaw hung, but regaining his homicidal calmness, he shoots the remaining two bullets to the bat at point blank. The young gang leader really freaked out as Aster stood there like nothing happened. He began to mutter prayers as he fled, because he believed that he was chased by a ghostly apparition.

Even the fox girl was surprised: "In the name of God! Who are you people!"

The hoodlum crashed with what he thought was a brick wall as William picked him up and punched him on the nose until he was out cold. William muttered: " I'm tired of you and your gang. So, for a few cycles you and all your partners will have to get used to wear frilly dresses and have your butts VERY SORE."

So after all the thirty-five rejuvenated ex-delinquents were formed in a row as they began to be fed by the minors. William programmed the starship's robotic arms to shape a metal slab into thousands of paddles, restraining shackles and other spanking implements. The fox-centaurs' increased strength and body mass was more than enough to punish an adult, so a fox cub gave them no problems at all, but the fox centaurs had to be careful and not hurt them seriously with the their increased strength.

Amanda took some of the most seriously ill adult foxes and escorted them so they could be rejuvenated as well. The cat's eyes widened when she heard a comment from one of the patients: "Aster! We must find that fox-girl right now. She stole mom's gun and now she's hell bent for vengeance!" Not bothering to ask for details Aster send a telepathic message to his parents and made appear a wurm-hole.

The fox-girl smirked as she slowly tiptoed thru the catwalk. She thought: 'I only need one shot and all the suffering that my mom endured would be worth her death. Pity that she won't enjoy all that money.'

Her plans were interrupted when a huge orange paw grabbed the revolver form her paws. She yelled: 'No! I won't allow you two to ruin everything! Give me that gun!'

William interrupted her: "Vengeance will not only put you at the same level as them, but you will be treated as a criminal for a few decades."

The young vixen yelled: "That half-brother of mine isn't worth even that bullet. All I want is the money...Oh no!"

The fox parents' stare darkened as they forcefully carried the girl to the rejuvenation chamber. It turned out that the fox mother was a wanted criminal and she was planning a mutiny not to liberate the rest of the prisoners, but to take control of the fox smuggling operation. The fox girl wanted to replace his half-brother as the operation's next boss.

The Dickinson foxes prepared a big dinner for their sons. They realized how fortunate they were in having four cubs that would even risk their lives for their parents. William spoke: "I spoke to one of my friends in the Starfleet. It seems that we ruined an illegal operation in which some foxes used an old salvage ship to force one of the cargo gates and get all the slave work they could in this ship. The fact that this ship has no crew and has a warp engine made them ideal to smuggle anything to any part of the galaxy. To think that that gang was exploiting those foxes misfortune."

William then addressed his wife in a low voice: "Katherine dear, please don't do anything like this or I'll give a good paw spanking."

She lowered her: "Sorry my dear, I wont! But did your friend notice our present condition! He's also a fox!"

William nodded: "He sure is, but he only saw me from the waist up." The children exploded in laughter. Then the cubs kissed their parent as they hurried to attend the 'rejuves' and give to the 'penitatas' their long spanking as everything returned to normal. Well, as normal as can be with these peculiar furs.

The End?
