(Sunset)

I don't know what just happened, but for some reason, I seem to be inside some kind of suit of armor. The latest stuff too. Highly digitized with a holographic Head Up display with shielding stats, weapons info and even a radar screen. But I don't seem to be the one piloting it. The radio flared to life.

"B3 and F5 aproaching from 4 o'clock!"

The pilot whirled around and cut both in two with a familiar pair of swords. And then I realized who it was. Lacyus. I was seeing what Lacyus saw. Those were his MVS Ebonite Claymores. I couldn't help but feel my heart swell with pride. He was putting my gift to good use. Mind you, I haven't even touched his that much, but still he knew how much I liked the scythe.

"Heh heh, feeling bloodthirsty today, are we bro?" Mira's voice came over the radio.

I could feel Lacyus half smile, half frown. "I just wanna get back to Sunset and her parents."

"If you want, I can cut this day short for you."

"No, no. I said I'd finished the five sim-tests for you."

"You sure?" Mira offered. "You just need to finish this.... Wait....."

"What's wrong?"

"The drones.... They're changing their strategy...."

"You program the strategies yourself. You should know what they're doing."

"They're doing this on their own. Wait this is an external hack!" Mira gasped. "Oh shit, Lacyus, get out of there! NOW!" There was a click "ALL UNITS SUSPEND SIMULATION! WEAPONS FREE! WEAPONS FREE!"

Lacyus sprinted for the exit, drawing an oversized rifle.

"Hang on Lac!" Mira shouted. "I'm opening the emerg-DAMMIT!"

"What!?!?

"Control lockout! RUN! DO NOT STOP!!!!" There was a clattering noise, followed by a series of gunshots. "GET BACK HERE HUMAN!!!"

"HUMAN!?!?"

There was a crackling on the radio followed by a sinister voice.

"Die, you freaks of nature! FOR A PURE EARTH!"

Thumps resounded through the test arena.

"Shit!" There was a bang on Mira's side of the comms. "Explosions reported throughout the testing facility! Reports of an armed group of humans exiting through an artifical portal are confirmed!"

Another voice, presumably another test pilot crackled through the link.

"Permission to pursue, Command!"

"Neg! Exit arena and await further instructions!"

A voice with a thick Russian accent followed

"We pursue, we stop trouble now! Permission to pursue!"

"NEGATIVE!!!!"

Lacyus piped up. "As commander in the field, I am authorizing Paladin units 02 and 03 to pursue human squads!"

"DAMMIT LACYUS! DON'T UNDERMINE MY AUTHORITY!"

"Thank you sir! We grind pipsqueaks into dust."

"Much oblaged! Moving to execute orders!"

"Dammit..." Mira hissed. "Just come back in one piece. And no portals!"

Suddenly the ground in front of Lacyus parted and a huge drone sat up. Lacyus raised his arms in defence and the drone lashed out with a huge fist. Lacyus took it in his left arm. There was a sickening cracking noise and Lacyus howled in pain as he flew over fifty meters

"Control restored." Mira reported. "What happened 01?"

Lacyus breath was quick and raspy as he laid on his side. "I.. I think I broke my arm..."

"Can't you regenerate the bone?"

"No..." He hissed. "Only loss of limbs. Bones heal quickly though. Several hours."

"Hang in there. Medic team on the way."

Suddenly, I could feel my mind being shaken. A voice whisped urgently at me.

"...unse...."

"Dammit...." Lacyus hissed to himself. "If Sunset can sense this, the last thing I want is for her to come running...."

"....sun...."

Medics ran onto the field, lead by Mira.

"SUNSET!!!"

***

I gasped as my mind shot back into it's body. I felt incredibly weak and tired, as if I had stayed awake for a week. My mom was franticly shaking me, worry written all over her face.

"SUNSET! ANSWER ME!"

"M....mom... ?"

"Good god!" Mom hugged me tightly. "Don't scare me like that again." She gently stroked my neck. "What happened?"

My strength was rapidly returning. "I dunno... I could see what Lacyus saw and heard."

She smiled. "Looks like your link has just gone up a level."

"What link?"

"Your telepathic link. It's now a syncronus paralell."

"What's that?"

"Close your eyes and clear your mind." Mom directed.

I did and suddenly it felt like Lacyus was sitting right next to me. He suddenly reacted.

*Sunset? What's happening? I feel funny.*

The feeling was incredible. I could feel his every emotion and thought, as well as his calm energy. It's as if he was whispering this all into my ear. And I could sense his broken arm.

*I dunno.* I lied. *What's with your arm?*

*Accident during testing. Don't worry. I'm fine. Just go on with the rest of your day.*

I suddenly got an idea. If our link was this perfect, then I could try something. I carefully thought of me kissing him on the cheek. A wave of shock shot back at me.

*What the!?! Something just kissed me!*

I laughed. *Now I know! I'll tell you when you get home.*

Opening my eyes, the link vanished. Mom was smiling proudly.

"So? What do you think?"

"Amazing..."

"You probably figured out, but you can temporarily transfer your mind into your mate's body and feel everything they feel. As well, you can send stuff like hugs or kisses or anything across the link. It's a really good way to keep in contact."

"Lacyus broke his arm."

Mom looked shocked. "Oh my! Shouldn't you go visit him?"

"He'll be okay. I heard him say he doesn't want me to freak out. So," I leaned back in the hotspring and closed my eyes. "Let's enjoy the rest of our day.

Three hours later

(Lacyus)

"I thought you said your arm would heal quickly." Mira slugged me playfully in the left arm. I yelped when I felt the ends of the broken bone grind together. "Sorry. Didn't mean to hit you that hard..."

"It's okay." I adjusted my sling. "I should start healing pretty soon."

The two of us stopped at a local market to pick up groceries and to grab a quick snack. Mira carred a couple of paper bags full of fresh vegtables and meat,

Mira stared off into space. "What the hell are humans doing here on Amorphis? I thought only Xenos could crossover."

"Quantam Error?" I suggested.

"No... Their portal was giving off a lot of dark energy."

"Shadow energy?"

"No, sort of anti-energy. You took Dimentional Physics at University right?" I nodded "You should know this. Dark energy absorbs and cancels out any and all energy. It's the only type of energy that doesn't obey the Law of Consevation of Energy.

"So maybe it's a byproduct of their portal... Wait." I stopped walking. "I'm getting that feeling again."

"We're being followed?" Mira's hand drifted towards her sidearm.

"No... Well... Sort of.... It feels like Sunset's holding my hand." Not that I minded it. It made me feel less guilty that I didn't spend the day with her.

Mira sighed. "I'm relieving you of tommorrow's tests and simulations."

"WHAT!?!?" I barked. "I am just as capable right now as I was a couple of hours ago."

"It's to repay you for forfieting your day with Sunset. She deserves to be repaid by me for dragging you away."

We walked in the front door and I was greeted by a phenominal sight. A snow white dragoness sat on the couch with Mr. Mrs Tzura. I instantly recognized her.

"So, Sunset. Now do you believe my theory of your DNA evolution?"

Sunset looked up, frowning. "What do you mean?" I pointed down and she looked at herself. Instantly she blushed. "Wow... I changed that fast?"

Mrs. Tzura nodded. "You changed in the hotsprings while you were 'asleep'"

"Ohhh. Hey mom, do you mind if I spend some time with Lacyus?"

"Not at all."

She smiled at me and took my hand leading me up to our room.

I gave her amused smile. "Haven't you noticed I broke my arm?"

"I knew that already." She stepped outside and turned to face me. "Tell me if you feel anything." She closed the door.

After a few moments, I felt like I was being embraced by Sunset. But she wasn't there.

She opened the door and walked in. "So?"

"You were hugging me, but you weren't there. How?"

She explained the whole concept of the Syncronus Paralell link.

I patted my lap and Sunset sat in it, snuggling up to my chest.

"So this is much more than love now, right?" I asked.

Sunset nodded happily "Yeah. A lot more."

The door opened and Rykuu's head popped in.

"Dinner's ready."

"Right." Sunset got up and walked out the door. Outside, Nephilla stood, blushing.

"Ummmm.... H-hi..."

Sunset raced forward and hugged her. "It's good to have a sister again."

"Yeah..." Nephilla smiled and hugged back. "It's my fault I forgot."

Suddenly, I felt a pit forming in my stomach. I wanted to see my mom too. For me, family meant everything. I felt Sunset caress my mind.

*Don't worry, you'll see them again.*

*Yeah, I know.* I sighed. *Let's talk more after dinner.*

(Sunset)

"Ohhhh man, I'm stuffed." Lacyus moaned.

I laughed and patted his belly. "Yeah, well that's what you get for eating so much."

"That was very good Mira" Dad commented. "You must get salmon like that all the time from market."

"Actually, Lacyus usually catches it. The only reason he didn't was his broken arm."

"Oh, right!" Lacyus gently poked his arm. Deciding it was healed, he took off the sling.

"Well, we should be off now." Mom said.

"Off where?" I asked worriedly.

"Hotel or inn. I don't think Mira wants us staying here."

"Nonsense." Mira laughed. "This house is pretty damn big. There's a guest room for the two of you on the third floor."

Dad shrugged. "Sounds good." He turned to Mom. "Honey?" She nodded.

Mira directed them up to their room. Afterwards, Mom, Dad, Nephilla and I went stargazing, leaving Lacyus to work on a paper for his university course and Rykuu to play chess with Mira. When we got back, it was about 11:30. Lacyus was still finishing his paper and Rykuu was napping on the couch. After helping Mom and Dad get settled in, I immediately went to Lacyus. He was sitting at his desk, writing furiously, with books and papers scattered all around him. I felt him telepathically lick me.

"Hang on." He said without raising his head. "I'll be with you in a moment."

"Take your time." After undressing, I laid down in our bed, completely naked.

He skipped a few lines, wrote a little and signed it. Yawning, he turned off a lamp, got up and walked over, laying naked down too. I snuggled as close as possible to him and he pulled the blankets over us.

"Goodnight Sunset." Lacyus gave me a peck on the cheek and closed his eyes.

I nudged him playfully. "Hey, is that all I get?"

He laughed quietly. "Okay, okay, hang on."

Gently wrapping his arms around me, he rolled me on top of him and we locked muzzles in a passionate kiss. Closing my eyes, I felt Lacyus' tounge gently snake into my mouth. I decided to see how far I could take this. My hands started to explore his body. Lacyus stiffened up a bit, but gradually relaxed, doing the same. His hands ended up gently massaging my breasts. This was what I loved about Lacyus. He didn't just want to hump me. He actually cared.

I broke the kiss and started gently nuzzling him. He began to play with my nipples and I gasped softly. Juices we slowly dripping out of my pussy and Lacyus got an evil idea. He threw off the blankets.

"Oh come on." I complained playfully. "I was so waroohhhh!"

Lacyus began to eat me out and all I could do was just moan and buck my hips. A thought nagged my mind.

"Do I really-" I moaned loudly as Lacyus' tounge plunged deeper. Recovering, I finished my sentance. "-taste sweet?"

"Here." He dipped two fingers into my sex, causing me to arch my back and gasp.

Lacyus present the fingers covered in my love juice. I took them and licked them off. And, like he said, my cum had a sugary taste to it.

He spun so we were 69. His cock was rock hard. I took it and began to brutaly suck it. Lacyus moaned and the vibrations almost drove me over the edge. To keep from cumming so quickly, I linked in our paralell as an experiment.

After a good minute of 69, we both lost it, lapping up each other's love. Lacyus spun and we locked in a deep, passionate kiss, trading saliva and sex juice. Lacyus growled and slowly drove his cock into me, my pussy rippling in response. It was a while since someone had mated me this well and all I could do is moan his name and cling helplessly to him, eyes closed. As he thrust deeper and deeper, I eventually felt him seep through my cervix into my egg chamber.

"God...." I managed to gasp out in between thrusts. "It's our first time since...." I was finding it increasingly hard to talk

"I got back?" Lacyus completed the sentance

Finally, I couldn't hold back and I screamed, drenching our thighs with my juices. Lacyus lost control and he roared, filling me with his wonderful cum,

Our climaxes gradually faded and I felt consiousness slipping through my fingers. Lacyus' eyes were slowly glazing over as well.

"I love you...." I murmured into his ear.

"Me too...."

His eyes drooped and he fell limp on top of me.

"I will never leave you, and if anyone has problems with us, then we'll be extremely intimate friends."

I laughed. "Good excuse."

Finally, sleep overtook Lacyus and I and we both closed our eyes.

Two Weeks later

(Mira)

I checked the clock on the coffee table. 6:00 AM.

"Com'mon Lac! We're gonna be late!" I barked upstairs.

Lacyus emerged from the bathroom, zipping up his pilot jumpsuit. It was an earthy red for the main fabric and a dark, smokey grey on the knee and elbow pads, as well as the pauldron. He shot me a hostile look.

"Shhhhhh! Sunset's asleep!"

There was a click and a groggy Sunset emerged from her bedroom, a blanket draped over her shoulders and her teddy bear clutched in her arms. She rubbed her eyes and looked around, eyes half open. She was now completely white with no trace of her original colorings. Rich, golden yellow elemental marks were developing on her body.

"Lacyus... What's happening....." She mumbled, slurring the words together.

He kissed her and walked briskly down the stairs. "Sorry I have to go so quickly. BHG is having an open house today."

"R...right..... I'm gonnna...." she yawned. "I'm gonna go back to bed. Love you..."

"Love you too."

Sunset turned and slowly shuffled back to her room.

Lacyus snorted in annoyment as we stepped outside. "Could've been quieter."

I shoved him angrily. "What took you?"

"Gloves. Couldn't find them."

We both kept silent from there on, an air of hostility between us. As we stepped into the hangar of the HQ hangar, we were greeted by the two other test pilots both dragons.

The first was Jackeyr. He was blood red with black elemental marks. Like me, he was a Lashdragon. Lashdragons manipulated the states of matter in objects. We nicknamed him Jack the Ripper because he had a habit of tearing his opponents apart with his bare hands and claws. He was often cold and detached, caring only about his next paycheck.

The second was Vash. Vash was a Ebondragon, an earth based elemental dragon. Although we knew very little about his magical powers, we nicknamed him Vash the Smash. That was because of his philosophy. 'If brains fail, brute strength prevails.' Because his first language was Aryian, his english was fragmented, but still understandable. Vash was extremely kind to the verge of annoyance. More than Lacyus.

My nickname was the Bloody Rose and Lacyus' was Liquid because of his ability to transform his body into literally a puddle of liquid shadows.

"Morning Ma'am!" Vash bellowed in his thick Russian accent.

"Good day to you both." Jackeyr said.

"They sell chocolate chip muffin in cafeteria. I save some for you two." Vash tossed us a muffin each.

"Thanks Vash. I'll pay you back later." Unwrapping it, I bit in, savoring the little chocolate chips baked in. "Alright boys. After breakfast, warm the MAS's up and let's get going!"

Author's Note: Okay, now for a little reader input! I'm looking at two things:

  1. The order of events to come

  2. Good places to travel (Earth and interdimentional)

For the order of events, I have a Mira sidestory, a Rykuu and Neph story and the proper introduction of the Order of the Realms. Each one will work out in any order.

The other thing is I want the characters to do some traveling. If other furs want them to go to their country (not USA, too common)/dimension (in other words, your story), let me know in a comment. I will look at maybe one dimension and one earth location.
