Counter Earth Chronicles - Dual Realities

*Chapter 55: There Is No Such Thing As Coincidence Only Inevitability *

November 30th, YOE 35

10:52 AM Free Counter Earth (Technology Museum, World Three)

(How did I get stuck babysitting Master Koala's Reality Observation Machine) Cody Spencer thought to himself.

"Sooo boring! How does Arthur keep himself from going insane?!"

It had been six hours since Primrose, Arthur and Minka had entered the latest alternate Counter Earth they had discovered looking for something, anything to stop the KLIS harvesting of beastials on their Counter Earth.

"They are probably having the adventure of their lives." Big sexy said to himself.

11:15 AM Creature Controlled Counter Earth (Weird Forest)

"Arthur to Cody! Arthur to Cody! Emergency! We are being chased by hostels! Why is my cube not working?"

"Because the infrastructure doesn't exist in this reality to support our communication devices!" Primrose shouted.

"Everyone, unless you want whatever that is to get us, run faster!" Minka shouted.

*Errooo!!!* Three sparkling piles of glittering goo howled as they slittered behind the away team.

"The event horizon! There it is!" Arthur shouted.

"Just a little further." The she rabbit shouted as she was grabbed by a tentacle and pulled backward. "Minka! Arthur! Something's got me!"

The monkey and the hedgehog watched in horror as the black goo made its way up Primrose's legs, waist, arms and head! She was soon enveloped and covered with it!

"Aiiee!!" She screamed as she was remolded into another creature about six feet tall.

"Nice, very nice." It said inspecting its new body.

"Arthur what do we do?!" Minka screamed.

"I don't know!" The leader of the Ghost Hunters shouted.

"Come little whatever-you-are, why don't we get to know each other a little better?" The second puddle of goo said oozing over the hedgehog boy. "Mmm... this one is male."

"And this one here is female." Said the third.

"CODY!! TURN OFF THE MACHINE!!"

11:23 AM Free Counter Earth (Technology Museum, World Three)

The adult cat thought he had heard someone say something out of the corner of his ear, when he looked through the window of the Master Koala's invention he saw three black ooze goo creatures walking into the forest. Long tails, longer limbs, candid, reptilian and feline like features with long claws and disturbing white eyes.

(As long as they stay away from the entrance to this world, what do I care?) Cody thought to himself.

12:10 PM Free Counter Earth (Sir Ram's Lab, Castle Wundgagore)

"INTERCEPT, were you able to find it?" I asked the frothing female racoon dog.

Dr. Pina's secret weapon handed me a bottle of ointment she had found probably roaming around the tiered lab.

"Thanks, I checked everywhere and this has to be literally the last bottle in the entire castle."

(I think Lea used the rest on me during my conditioning therapy sessions with Sir Ram).

"Thanks for your discretion on this sensitive matter." I said as I accepted the bottle from the beastial(?)

*URRR!* she replied.

"Mr. Winter! To what do I owe the visit? Interested in resuming your conditioning therapy?"

As I turned around I found myself facing a dall sheep in a white lab coat.

"Um, hell no sir."

"Then what?" He said blocking the exit to the lab.

"I needed to borrow some ointment." I replied abruptly.

Sir Ram's replacement looked over me carefully before he figured out why.

"Commander Ursa got paddled again didn't she?"

I nodded.

"I see. The high master has been quite upset with his subordinates lately. The botched trap set at the recent circus didn't help." The beastial scientist said, casting a glance at the raccoon dog.

"If I may sir, Sir Ram and Mara encountered the KLIS in the Great Forest and Lady Ursa and I encountered the KLIS in the Dark Forest and later in the Great Forest." I suggested.

"You are saying instead of waiting for them to come to us, I should go to them? Hmmmm."

"Thank you sir." I said hastily exiting the lab before he decided to strap me into my punishment chair.

12:30 PM Free Counter Earth (Circus Of Humans, World One)

The female sun bear sat in her dressing room siping a hot cup of tea after her troop's most recent practice performance. It was her favorite way of relaxing after a exhausting morning.

*knock* *knock*

"Come in Vitaly." The she beast said.

"My, you look comfortable." The mustached man replied, noticing she was wearing only her top hat and red blazer.

"I am. But you didn't come here to compliment me did you?"

"Permission to speak freely ma'am."

"I will allow it and questions as well." Versona replied.

"My act- I can no longer be a high diver."

"Scared of heights?" She asked, admiring his full body swimwear.

"Yes, Versona. I have been lucky so far, but luck only holds out for so long."

"Scared of death as well?"

"Yes and when that day comes who will remember me? Who will grieve over my demise?"

The sun bear stood up from her table and chair to address her subordinate. "Your act is a big draw. You will continue to dive from higher and higher heights into smaller and smaller things despite your acrophobia. Is that understood Vitaly or should I say Kaisan?"

"Yes my superior."

"Then no more questions. Now return to your trailer."

The mustached man in the body sized bathing suit complied with the order from the beastial. He had no choice, all though he wished he did.

3:30 PM Free Counter Earth (Commander Ursa's Office, Castle Wundagore)

"Mistress, I am here." I said entering my fierce ursine warrior's office.

"Did anyone see you?" She asked squirming uncomfortably in her chair.

"Well. I kept it as discreet as possible." I replied pressing a sequence on the keypad next to the entrance locking the door to her office.

My warrior bear pressed a sequence of buttons on her desk. Instantly the shades blotted out the sunlight from the long vertical windows behind her and the virtual computer and keyboard in front of her blipped away.

That was when my she beast removed her clothing and laid down right on her desk presenting her rump to me. It was red and swollen.

"Uh, what happened?!" I gasped.

"The same thing that happened to the Zed Zebra, that hub broadcaster."

"Mistress you were paddled!"

"Not just me." She said motioning me to approach with the ointment I had brought. "The master has... expectations of the senior leadership of the knight core. When they are not met..."

"Oh my." I replied as I started rubbing down her bare bear behind.

(Gee this seems familiar.)

Even though she had been paddled, her butt was still magnificent. Then so was Spirit's.

"If myself and the other commanders can't get this KLIS situation under control..."

"Your reprimand-ments are going to get worse." I replied, completing her sentence.

"Yes Alex, much worse."

I turned my head like a curious puppy dog. I wanted to ask, but the mind control device prevented me from directly questioning my beastial superiors.

My bear knight anticipated what was going through my mind and responded in kind.

"De-evolution pet."

I gasped.

5:40 PM Free Counter Earth (World Three Library)

"Good job on the exam Mr. Goodfellow. A stork said complimenting the boy.

"M'kay." Kiwi said cheerfully.

"What are you doing now?" The avian librarian said to the brown haired pre-teen.

"I am going to study some more!"

"Very well. If you keep that up, you just may have an average life living amongst us beastials. Very average."

Song's charge kind of heard the retort, but kind of didn't. As he opened his pad to review today's lesson there was a insert. Conspiracy News. It appeared to be some type of news program. The boy decided to watch it.

"Today we are investigating the REAL reason that human protests and disobedience have ended across the empire." A red headed pre-teen around Kiwi's age said staring into the camera. "Hub reporter hopeful Price Challenger here. I have tried repeatedly to gain an internship, a co-op or an apprenticeship at the hub news service- each time I entered their studios I find myself back in my bed with no recollection of how I got there. Weird huh? So I started investigating on my own." The boy said, turning the camera on himself. "Are you ready for this?! Rumor has it that the fuzzies have created a mind control device to keep us under their paws! We can't question, argue, disagree or even talk back to them! We are forced to unequivocally obey whether we want to or not! I suspect each time I tried to apply for a position I was ordered to go home and forget about it. Sinister huh? Well check this out!"

Price turned the camera back around, he was standing in front of an office complex in a business park.

"This looks like your typical office building- nice marble columns, a dome shaped roof- but there is a dark secret here. One of the offices in the basement of the building is not an office at all but a secret sex dungeon! Is that?! Yes it appears to be in use at this time! I am seeing a nude man being sexed by a satyre, a canine, a feline and a bovine! Notice that dazed look on his face and that he isn't restrained, isn't resisting nor is he crying out loud as he is being mounted by each member of the group. Did they drug him?" _ Price Challenger asked. _

Kiwi was stunned.

"There is no need. If the rumors are true, this group most likely ordered their victim to be quiet, be still, don't resist and participate whether he wanted to or not!!"

Price Challenger ended his broadcast stating that he was going to try to gain even more evidence perhaps to prove the existence of said machine to expose this secret conspiracy.

10:10 PM Free Counter Earth (Aard Woods Between World One and World Two)

"Well there you are Dr. Pina- one camping tent, a table and two chairs erected." The blond haired freckled human replied. "I will be taking my leave now."

Dash Young turned to leave the newly erected camping site and was intercepted by INTERCEPT.

"Or not." The delivery carrier said taking several hasty steps backward into the paws of the dall sheep.

"You were highly recommended Mr. Young."

"I was by who?" The freckled human who bore a resemblance to Alex Winter asked looking up at the beastial scientist.

"Commander Ursa- she practically has the hots for you."

"Well she is rather an amazing creature for a beastial." The delivery carrier said as he started to babble.

The frothing female racoon dog started grumbling at him.

"You are absolutely sure about this location?" The sheep asked looking down at him.

"Yes sir. My sources said that this area is a hot bed of extraterrestrial activity. The spacecraft aren't the huge triangular or boomerang ships that have been seen over the cities but, UFOs frequent this area."

"Then why don't you join me and INTERCEPT for a cup of tea while we wait?"

Dash looked at the dall sheep and the raccoon dog and nodded.

Dr. Pina had chosen a particular spot on the shores of a lake. A large bonfire illuminated the camp and could be seen for miles in every direction.

"Um, congratulations on succeeding Sir Ram, those are big shoes to fill- doctor." Mr. Young said accepting a cup of tea.

"Yes they are." The dall sheep replied adjusting his lab coat.

"It is peaceful out here. My mind seems less cluttered and lethargic for some reason." Dash replied.

"Oh that is because...." The beastial scientist started to say when they were interrupted by INTERCEPT.

A large light rose from a nearby mountain peak.

"See?! What did I tell you?" Dash shouted.

Dr. Pina pulled out a light and started flashing at the whatever it was in the sky. It stopped mid-flight and started moving their direction.

"Oh no! It is coming at us! Run!!!"

"On the contrary, stand firm human. INTERCEPT!" The beastial scientist ordered.

A blue light was cast on their position from the light in the sky. Dash Young, Dr. Pina and INTERCEPT were lifted off the ground and drawn inside it.

The skyship casting the light, rose higher and higher with its newly acquired captives. It suddenly stopped in mid-air and then descended rapidly back toward the campsite.

A red light was cast and the dall sheep and blond haired freckled human were abruptly deposited on the surface.

"Augh! What happened?!" Mr. Young asked. "It was like we were spit back out."

"Apparently we left a bad taste in their mouth." Dr. Pina replied.

"Where is your creation?!"

"On her way to giving them indigestion." The dall sheep grinned.

"You had planned this all along?"

"Precisely Mr. Young."

"What about that?" The freckled delivery boy asked.

The beastial scientist looked to where the blond haired human was pointing. Next to the chairs and table of their camp was a woman, nude lying face down.

"Um, no." The dall sheep replied.

To Be Continued...

[MEANWHILE]

Time: N/A [eternity] Realm of Fire and Magma (Throne Room, Terror Tower)

"Arthur what are we going to do?" Minka quivered.

"Like there is nothing that can be done. Diamantopoulous controls and rules all." The nude orangutan said, trying to comfort her friend.

"He won't let us leave unless he wants us to?" The she monkey frowned.

"Yup. The Shadow Chasers are still here. Master let's them out from time to time to play with them." Flo said.

"Let me guess when he gets tired of them whining and pleading for their freedom, he puts them right back into his toy box." The hedgehog boy said, sitting down. He crossed his legs and then closed his eyes.

"You betcha! And from the sounds of it Counter Earth isn't in the best shape right now." Flo observed.

"That is why we moved to another planet elsewhere in the universe." Minka said.

"Wow, like far out."

"Yup, two suns, three moons, multi-colored skies, enchanted weather, colorful flora and fauna and friendly natives. It is a little frontierish- primitive, but you would love it Flo. Right Arthur?"

The two females looked at their leader who was deep in thought.

"I think I know how we get out of this." The boy said with an air of confidence. "Bine said that the veil between his realm and this one had weakened, that was how we wound up here."

"Arthur has a lot of experience being stranded in different places." Minka whispered to Flo.

"I believe our time here is temporary; all we have to do is wait until the veil returns to normal and we wind up back in the Eeth's realm." The boy reasoned.

"So we just have to bide our time until then?" Minka asked her smile returning.

"And when we return, I am going to make sure we have a plus one as well." Arthur said staring at the nude orangutan girl.

Flo started grinning.

"What do you think of that plan Minka?" Arthur asked his fellow Ghost Hunter.

*BLIP*

The orangutan and the hedgehog looked at where their companion had been standing, but she had disappeared.

Time: N/A Prominence Hotel (Penthouse, Suite 225)

"Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you." The dark akita said to his monkey girl.

"This hotel is beyond belief! What could possibly be next!" Minka said looking at the marble foyer they had walked across.

"You will see. Now close your eyes!"

She did as ordered allowing Midnight Black to guide her through the hotel and the well dressed guests that were standing in the lobby, mezzanine and hallways.

"You can open your eyes now."

Minka was staring at the most luxurious room she had ever seen in her life! It was on the very top floor of the hotel. It was circular in design which gave guests spectacular views of the city. There was a living room, stocked kitchen, hot tub and single bedroom with a heart shaped bed.

"Wooow!" The she monkey said grinning ear to ear.

"I thought it was time that we treated ourselves." The akita said.

"But of course." She said taking his arm.

Her akita was looking especially hot that evening- he was wearing his chain mail shirt, leather pants and black blazer/cape. That did something to the monkey girl- she pulled her akita right into the bedroom. The door nearly closing on the white bodysuit she was wearing.

"Straight to the bedroom? I thought you would have wanted to unwind, perhaps get something to eat?

"Nah, we can do that later!" She said jumping on the plush shaped bed which triggered a sensor. A golden beam of light emanated from above removing her clothes. When she turned back toward the dark akita she was stark naked! Her assets in full view.

Midnight Black followed his monkey girl's lead.

"Magnificent!" She said looking at his muscle tone, pleasant build and perfect pecs.

"Come her girl!" He said pulling her towards him.

Well her breasts hadn't developed yet, her coochie was rather small but her affection for him more than made up for it.

The assassin kissed his monkey girl and she her akita.

One thing led to another and Minka soon found herself on her back looking up at her lover.

(Is this happening? Is this really happening?)

"Relax, arch your back and lift your legs." Midnight Black ordered.

(It was!)

There was a small amount of pain, but her akita took it real slow.

Minka squealed with glee as she was penetrated.

"How does it feel girl?"

"Wonderful!" The penetrated monkey shouted as she prepared to be filled with puppy batter.

"Your smile is very cute." Midnight Black said grinning.

Her solemn, serious and self-righteous lover then started laughing. It seemed out of character for him. But then giving the circumstance maybe not. That was when he did not stop.

"Everything ok my akita?" Minka asked.

"It is better than okay!" The akita snarked.

As Midnight Black said that his dark fur appeared to be dissolving, melting to reveal... reveal something horrid, dark and evil.

"Hello baby!!" A greyish-green demonic scalie shouted. The being's face looked like a mashup of a lizard and lantern fish. It's body humanoid with medium to large build. Rather hunky. It had three fingers on its paws and three on its foot paws and then there was that wicked grin.

"Diamantopoulous?!"

"Nope, your tormentor is unavailable at the moment- your know the burdens of running a realm and all. He sent me in his place." The being said.

"Who are you?!"

"Someone who now knows your deepest darkest fear- losing your akita." The demon scalie said scritching Minka on her chin.

The horrified monkey tried to roll over and out of the heart shaped bed, but that is kind of hard to do when you kinda have one of Diamantopoulous' minions inside of you who also was kind of hard [at the moment].

"Aiieee!!" Minka screamed as her tormentor laid on top of her making himself quite comfortable.

"If you don't like being penetrated with my phallus, I could use my claws." The being suggested.

It was obvious he wasn't going anywhere for a while and neither would she.

Time: N/A Prominence Hotel (Penthouse, Suite 225)

"Finally some alone time!!" Minka grinned mischievously at her akita.

"Girl what did you do now?" Midnight Black asked, looking around.

The assassin realized that he was lying down on a heart shaped bed in the most posh and luxurious room he had ever seen!

The monkey girl was just off to his side stark naked. He also realized so was he.

"I just thought in light of everything that we needed some time to ourselves." She said, kissing him.

"Granted but was it really necessary to bind me?"

"I also wanted to try a little S & M!"

"This isn't S & M girl." The akita started to chastise until she laid her head down on his chest as he managed to free his left paw.

Minka smelled really nice tonight. Her fur was well groomed and damn that girl was horny!

"I want to be ridden hard and put away wet!" She said squeezing his scrotum.

"That could be considered S & M." He said smirking.

Minka played with her akita's balls caressing, squeezing until something red started peeking out from his sheath... and then she impaled herself on it.

"Youch! That hurt!"

"First time?!" The dark canine teased.

"Yeah, I want you to screw me so hard, I won't be able to walk for a week!" Minka squealed.

"Oddly specific." Midnight Black said rubbing her behind.

The girl raised and lowered herself down his thick shaft like a seasoned pro while watching her akita make all sorts of faces with the massive amount of pleasure he was feeling being inside her.

As she felt his testicles draw toward his body she knew it was about time. "I want to see your orgasm face and hear some doggie noises too!" The monkey girl said smiling.

*whine*

Minka received her wish as her insides were splashed with her akita's jizz.

Midnight Black's mind was spinning as he came down from emptying his balls into his monkey. Yeah, she was half his age, a teenager and had small tits and a unimpressive physique. But she did adore him. He was reluctant to admit it, he had feelings for her too.

"That was simply wonderful!" Minka said trying to stand, but couldn't.

*tug* *tug*

"We won't be going anywhere for a while, girl." The dark akita said placing his paw on her shoulder.

"So that is how a doggie's knot works!" Minka said looking at her groin.

"Yeah pretty much." The akita acknowledged.

"You don't say?" A demonic voice came from the cheeky monkey girl's lips.

"Minka?"

"Not Minka..." The monkey said grinning demonically.

"Diamantopoulous!!!" Midnight Black gasped.

"You betcha!!" The monkey said morphing into the demon wolf.

"That's right...I was in that tower..." Midnight Black said trying to recollect his thoughts as to how he arrived at that hotel room.

The assassin turned pale as he remembered Arthur and Bine's warning. It appeared that the dark wolf could indeed manipulate reality.

"Since we aren't going anywhere for a while I thought I would give you a preview of what awaits you when you die." Diamantopoulous announced sadistically.

The akita started to saying something but the being he was tied to put a claw tip to his mouth silencing him.

"There is nothing to debate canine... you have a dark soul tainted from the horrid, questionable existence you have lived... when you die you will end up here... and we will spend all eternity together. I can't wait!!!"

The akita's mouth dropped wide open. The wolf demon closed it for him.

12:10 PM Chaundoon (Knight Command, World Seven)

"Warrior, what seems to be your affliction?" The former Three Rivers Pride witch doctor asked as he entered the knight's office.

"Pestle? When did you become a medic? Never mind. I am feeling rather queasy." Lady Ursa complained as she face planted on her desk.

The young S'mar healer placed his pestle and mortar on her desk. He gently felt the bear's forehead, nose and neck.

The she bear watched as he pulled out a triangular medical scanner from inside the pestle and started running it over her body. He remained silent as he looked at the readings.

"Either you are trying to remember your training or are still fascinated by that piece of technology." She groaned.

"I still am, this village is a place of wonders- it is difficult not to be overwhelmed. But to the point- warrior."

"Lady Ursa." She said correcting him.

"Yes, tell me of your activities the last few days." Pestle ordered.

"Well I have been working extra hours making sure the knight core is adequately staffed. Having the dragon defenders around also helps. There is also continual training and our ongoing open cases." The female brown bear blushed as she lifted her head from her desk.

"What about your diet? Are you eating the right amount of meals at the right time?"

"I suppose."

"What about your sleep schedule? I know you have a little bear."

"Having an extended family relieves some of the pressure and stress."

"What about intimacy?" The medicine beast asked.

"I beg your pardon?" Lady Ursa asked alarmed.

"SEX from your human, lioness and bear." The witch doctor asked.

"Well, with everyone's crazy work schedules, Boris and I have been spending extra time together. I love Alex and Shakara- but there are times when I appreciate being with my own species."

"Rose and Basil are spoken for so that just leaves Boris." The medicine beast said lowering the scanner. "I understand, so HOW much time have you been spending with Boris?"

Lady Ursa's eyes went wide. "NO!" She grabbed the scanner and ran it over her womb and then looked at its read out. "What is this saying?!"

"A simple case of indigestion. You feared it was morning sickness from a possible second pregnancy?" Pestle asked.

"Yeah something like that."

"It's not, but whatever you ate this morning did not agree with you. I think it would be in your best interest to stay near your waste collector...." Pestle started to say before the she beast rushed past him at blinding speed. "For bouts of diarrhea...."

12:30 PM Conquered Counter Earth (Capital Stadium)

"What a lovely day." Ed said to Dane.

"I know right? Out here away from it all it seems like everything is normal and that nothing has changed." Dane observed.

"Something has changed Jonan said to her friends we have left the forests near World Five and entered the grassy plains near World Four."

"How can you tell?" The eagle asked the ewe.

She pointed at a familiar structure in the distance.

"Capital Stadium." The eagle and dawn horse said in unison.

The structure had been heavily damaged by the frequent tremors and counter earthquakes the area had received since the fall; there were cracks and fractures all along the exterior. One side of the stadium had down right collapsed.

"If there are any survivors in the area they should be here right?" Dane asked.

Ed nodded. "Let's check it out."

"Coming handsome?" The ewe asked as she ran a paw finger over the young bull's chest.

"Please don't do that." Raier replied.

"Aw, you are no fun." Jonan said as she left to catch up with her friends.

Raier huffed as he watched the trio.

"Something wrong?" The synoptic asked its meat puppet.

"Master, why should we be accompanying this trio? What do they bring to our collective?"

"Warrior, they may at first seem to be obnoxious, uninformed opportunists...."

"They are master. The ewe- she won't leave us alone and the dawn horse constantly touches us."

"We have come to realize that they have their uses. They can reach places we can't, communicate with those who are out of our reach and preach to those who would rather not listen. They are the perfect emissaries."

"If so master, why are we sending them here to this dangerous place? We have tried to add the creatures here to the collective and have been thwarted again and again and again."

"With the emissaries' help that changes today warrior. They will initiate contact, we will the initiate change."

"But there is a chance that the three of them could meet their end here master."

"Perhaps..." The entity replied nonchalantly as Raier sensed that ONE was not truly being completely upfront with him. What was the true endgame here?

3:30 PM Chaundoon (Infirmary, World Seven)

"So how did it go?" I asked my mentee.

"Lady Ursa thought it might have been morning sickness from a possible pregnancy." The S'mar witch doctor said adjusting his brown loincloth. "But it was only indigestion from something she ate, followed by diarrhea."

"Did she make it to the bathroom in time?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I think so." My mentee replied, adjusting his loincloth again.

"She and Boris have been getting close rather of late, so close that Shakara and I started to wonder if there might be more baby bears running around at some point."

"And you are hoping that this pregnancy scare will cause her to pull back?" The S'mar healer asked.

"Pull out actually."

"Shakara statement." Pestle commented.

(Ah, they grow up so fast!)

"Anyway, not bad for your first foray into the field."

"Thanks." The slender feline replied. "The following calls afterwards weren't too difficult either."

"Well in honor of this special occasion, I have a present for you." I said smiling.

"Really?"

"I had the Manassass replicate this."

"My own scanner? Thank you Alex!!"

"Remember, it is a tool just like your mortar and pestle. That is all." I replied.

"For you perhaps. For me it is a magical device that helps detect illness quicker."

"Well you ready for one more house call?" I asked collecting my medkit.

"Sure where to?"

3:45 PM Chaundoon (Observation Tower, World Seven)

"It hurts when I move it like this and this." The spring hare said rotating her shoulder.

I let the S'mar witch doctor examine the female ninja for a few minutes with his scanner.

"So what do you think?"

"Nothing is broken, I think it is a sprain." Pestle said looking at the readings. "Have you engaged in any physical or strenuous activities?"

Arugula just smirked at the feline healer.

"She most likely received the injury from sparring. Remember she is a knight." I suggested as the sky briefly darkened. "What the?"

"It is one of those birds the Chado use to fly around on." The spring hare said looking up at the golden sky. "Although it is a rather young one."

The white avian with a large wingspan landed right in front of us.

*screech* *screech*

"Good little big bird." The spring hare petting the city's new arrival.

The creature rebuffed the petting and glanced at its leg.

"Is it injured?!" I asked my companions. "That critter despite being young is still rather large."

"It entered the city and flew right toward the tower." Arugula replied. "Rather strange."

"That is because it was carrying a message." The he cat said pointing.

Arugula and I started at the bird's foot. There was a tube with some type of parchment inside.

She grabbed the note and unfurled it while Pestle and I gathered around. "It's from one of the away teams- they are in trouble."

5:40 PM Chaundoon (Double Drop Falls, Marble Canyons)

"He shoots and he scores!!" Kiwi shouted in triumph.

"Unbelievable!" Pummel gasped as the red ball rushed past a ringed pole on the side of the hill.

"An outsider beat us at pok-ta-pok!" Pound shook her head in disbelief.

"And the team of Impale, Stab and Kiwi wins the tournament!" Pulse announced as the combatants lined up.

"You played very well for your first time- outsider." Smash said complimenting the pre-teen. "Too well."

"Um, that is because pok-ta-pok is quite similar to a game I used to play on my world." The brown haired pre-teen replied, trying to stare the female savages in their faces and not looking down past their necks; he was trying to avoid any more nosebleeds.

"Hmm..." Pound said thinking out loud. "He isn't as shy or timid like after his arrival here in the canyons."

"Well... having Yowies mess with your head will do that to you." Impale said, placing his paw on the boy's shoulder.

"You three missed the obvious." The games 'referee' announced to the female warriors.

Pummel, Pound and Smash looked at the sand dragon.

"He is Stab and Impale's assistant... he assisted."

The female felines rolled their eyes.

"Actually this one we thought would be entirely useless." Smash said squishing Kiwi's cheeks.

The preteen got a closer view of the athletic female's naked physique.

(Look at that rack!)

His nose started bleeding again.

"But he turned out to be rather valuable." Pummel added.

"Let's have another game sometime soon!" Kiwi said locking his gaze on the savages' necklaces and tribal markings and not their exposed breasts or genitals.

"Perhaps." The female feline warriors said in unison walking away.

"I really worked up a sweat and a stink!" Naka and Song's son said, sniffing his armpits.

"Here we find that very attractive." Impale teased his squire.

"I think he is asking if he can bathe before we head home." Stab said to her brother.

"You two go on. I am going to have a chat with our opponents."

"You mean about another tournament?" Kiwi asked the male warrior.

"Perhaps...." Impale said, picking up his javelin-staff and following after Pulse.

The preteen followed Stab to a shallow pool near the falls. He watched as she removed her necklace, set aside her loincloth and sias and proceeded into the water.

The boy waited for her to adjust to the water and then followed her in. "Limbs up!" She ordered him.

Kiwi laughed as he was lathered up from head to feet with the tribe's version of soap. He reciprocated with Stab. She was shorter than her brother, but had a nice midsection and petite breasts.

"Something wrong Scout?" She asked him.

"I thought Impale would have caught up with us by now."

"Perhaps later. We should rinse off." Stab suggested.

Returning to the shore Stab and Kiwi collected their items and headed home for the night.

10:10 PM Chaundoon (Stab and Impale's Hut, Perna Pride Village)

As Kiwi laid down into his hammock he noticed that Impale still hadn't returned. Stab was in hers, but the very top hammock- Impale's was vacant.

"Something wrong Scout?" Stab asked.

"Yeah, Impale never came home."

"I wouldn't be concerned." The female warrior said nonchalantly.

"But what if he is in trouble? I mean we have seen warriors from other prides spying on our territory."

"Come here." The female warrior said, ordering Kiwi to her hammock. "On the contrary I think my brother would be in more trouble if he had just come home with us."

Kiwi looked at the female savage.

"Mother has decreed that Perna Pride must be fruitful and multiply if it is to survive."

"Yes. Existing parents are required to have more cubs." Kiwi said as the nude female pulled him toward her.

"And aunt Lyre has ordered all warriors are to breed; males must mate with three females and the females must mate with three males."

"That is the only way to ensure the pride has a healthy supply of warriors to replace those that have fallen?"

"Yes. For example look at Shred. Despite being mated to Pierce, he has chosen two additional females to breed with." Stab said looking at the pre-teen boy.

"Yes, I met them the other day when I was visiting." Kiwi said, turning to face the female feline.

"Pierce is teaching them how to be mothers by having them look after her cubs. When she is satisfied that they are ready..."

"Shred will give them offspring of their own." Kiwi surmised.

"A new generation of warriors for Perna Pride." The female savage said booping her squire on the nose. "Always remember Kiwi we S'mar live for our pride, the pride is everything."

"So the three we played pok-ta-pok against?"

Stab nodded.

"Pummel looks like she could be a wrestler while Pound like she could be a bodybuilder and Smash a sports athlete." Kiwi said reclining and looking up at the upper hammock. "Impale's cubs are going to be monstrous."

"Yes."

"Have you given any thought to who you will choose?" The brown haired pre-teen asked.

"Hmm.... Well there is Thrash...."

"He is very aloof and strict." Kiwi said thoughtfully.

"There is Squash I suppose." Stab continued.

"He is very quiet." The pre-teen said. "Who would you chose to be the third?"

"I was thinking about a formerly shy and quiet individual who suffers from nose bleeds when he looks at females he considers pretty." Stab said while making bedroom eyes at her attendant.

"ME?!"

"Why doesn't your nose bleed when you look at me Kiwi Goodfellow?"

"Stab... I... I don't think of you in that way." The pre-teen stammered.

"What way do you think of me?"

"As a sister. I consider you and Impale are the siblings I always wanted but never had."

"One thing I do admire about you Kiwi Goodfellow is your ability to deal with whatever is in front of you." The female warrior said, pulling the boy right on top of her. "You will adapt."

Kiwi looked at the petite breasted feline warrior beneath him. She did look similar to Bow, pleasing face, lithe body, not an ounce of fat on her, fascinating tribal markings and even her vaginal slit seemed perfectly symmetrical.

His nose started bleeding as the warrior rubbed his behind.

"Besides, first time intimacy is better when it is with someone you know, someone you are comfortable with and someone you trust." Stab said moving on to his scrotum. It wouldn't be long before Kiwi was aroused enough for his first sexual experience.

Of course there wouldn't be any chance of conceiving offspring but it would be one less male the S'mar warrior would have to seek and acquire.
