Belly of the Beast Part three
"Do you like mating yourself with your tiger master?"
The question echoed through Jessica's sleeping psyche, the girl rolling over with a smile forming on her pretty features as a tingle in her belly accompanied the question.
The human slave rested after another session of what she could only describe as intense sex with the big red anthro tiger and his dark elf companion, the two using her delicate body and easily bringing her off thanks to the mystical collar that adorned Jessica's neck that bonded her to the others and allowed them to sense her thoughts.
"Mmmmm yes." The girl whispered in answer to the question, frowning as she felt not the warm comfort of the bed she fell asleep on but cool hard rock floor.
A cold breeze blew across her naked form and she opened her eyes, curling up to shiver in the darkness of an unfamiliar cave.
"What? Where..." She said with some confusion but was suddenly cut off by a deep angry snarl.
The feral sound caused Jessica to sit up in shock and fear as she came to realise she wasn't alone, a heavy breathing could be heard in the gloom the presence of something big made itself felt.
"M-master...?" The frightened girl managed to whisper while her eyes adjusted to the darkness and saw a large figure lying on its side, the shape looking much like an animal of some kind, one that was much bigger than the human girl.
Jessica began to nervously edge away from the creature but stopped when it growled deeply, her blood freezing as it moved to stand and shuffle towards her, the dim light revealing stripes on its face and body.
It's a tiger. She thought in a panic, her heart beating wildly now. But where did it come from? Where did her Master go?
Upon closing the distance the big feline began to sniff curiously at Jessica's arm and body, slowly circling around the frozen girl, nuzzling her back and shoulder as if trying to push her in a certain direction.
Holding her breath the girls eyes were shut tightly, expecting the worst when the tiger began sniffing at her unclothed form, she gave a soft squeak when she felt it shove her from behind, unsure of what was going on.
"I d-don't understand..." She mumbled, risking a glance over her shoulder only to be answered by an angry growl, Jessica quickly looked away and then saw that it was pushing her towards what looked to be an exit out of the cave.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself Jessica saw the big cat wasn't trying to harm her but guide her to the opening, why was still not clear to her not that she felt she needed any more encouragement to leave this cold dark place and with this she leant forward onto her hands and knees to begin crawling to her freedom.
In the darkness the tiger almost smirked as the girl fell onto her hands and knees, doing precisely what he had expected and upon seeing her perfectly rounded ass presented to him he half pounced forward onto her back, making her cry out in surprise when the heavy feline stood over her.
"Hey what are you doing...?" Jessica's eyes widen in shock as she then felt the animal rubbing against her, purring loudly as its large furry body moved over hers, a strong musky scent reached her nose and she knew the tiger was horny, the feel of something hot and wet brushing against her thigh causing her to panic as she realised the creature wanted her on all fours in order to mate with her.
"N-no, wait ... " The girl stammered trying to scrabble away only to have the big cat plant a paw on her shoulder and push her front down, her rear sticking up as he growled deeply in warning, its hips rutting slowly as it rooted around in search for her sex.
Jessica looked around quickly, her mind racing as the tigers hard length rubbed and grinded between her thighs and along her stomach, soft rubbery barbs tickling her skin and pressing to her hidden clit as the male cat sought to join with the squirming girl beneath him.
Hissing in frustration the feline loosened his grip just enough to let his prey shift forward before gripping her hips with his forepaws and dragged her back, the move paying off as the males cock pressing against Jessica's unprotected snatch, another jerk of his hips violates her passage with several inches of big cat meat, the girl yowling in shock as more of the tiger's length is thrust in, the barbs stimulating her tight inner walls and making her tighten.
"Oh god please..." Jessica gasped, feeling her pussy being spread by the intrusion, the male above her groaning in delight as the top of his sheath meets her stretched opening, the throbbing erection fully inside her.
Satisfied his new mate won't move the beast withdraws until he feels the cool air on his shaft before ramming back in, the female he has mounted grunting as he begins a steady humping rhythm, her own hips moving thanks to the tiger's thrusts.
Tears welled in Jessica's eyes as the cat used her, it's deep thrusts opening her wider as she clawed at the rock floor to try to escape, the paw on her back holding her down as their heavy breathing echoed around the room and to her horror she felt a familiar tingle stir in her loins, the same tingle she had when her master first took her and before she knew it her cunny was starting to overflow with her juices as the big cat's cock plundered her over and over.
The tiger growled deeply as suddenly the girl began to push back against his advances, the lewd sounds of wet slurps fill the air as he arches over the girl and pumps faster, Jessica's groans and sounds of bliss rising into the air as she slowly succumbs to her tiger lover, her body tensing and trembling as she is fucked closer to her climax until she squeals and cums hard, her nectar washing over the barbed shaft driving in and out of her tight sex.
Closing his eyes the tiger felt the girl tighten more and spasm in orgasm and could hold on no longer, roaring out his dominance he slams roughly in and shoots his load into Jessica's belly, gritting his teeth as each throb of his erection sent another spurt of hot feline seed into the girl, her belly swelling a little as excess spooge began to drip from their joining to pool on the cave ground, the two lovers tensing and holding perfectly still, enjoy the warm afterglow of sex before Jessica sighed and slumped down.
"Oh Master." The exhausted girl purred, closing her eyes and curling up again to drift off to sleep.
"Must've been a good dream." Was the next thing she heard when she woke.
"What?" Jessica mumbled sleepily and slowly sat up. She was back in her master's warm bed, back in the tiger's lair where she had been brought.
"Your dream." The No-One said polishing something in his paws. He sat on the bed looking the girl over as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
It was morning, or at least it felt like morning and Opal was nowhere to be seen so Jessica assumed she was elsewhere in the caves.
"Dream?" She asked then remembered her encounter with the tiger in its cave.
"Yes, you were moaning and writhing and you smell in need of sex." He smirked and licked his lips in a teasing manner.
The girls cheeks went bright red and she realised her pussy was wet and tingling, the dream had set her off while she slept.
"Never mind, plenty of time to clean up later." The tiger said leaning towards her and placing what was in his paws on her face, they were her glasses.
"Where did you get these?" Jessica gasped in surprise, reaching to touch the spectacles to make sure they were real, the last time she had them was in her car before she found herself lost in this jungle world.
"I found your car, plus a few other things." The big red tiger stood up and Jessica could see by his naked body he was aroused by the smell her sex gave off, he bent and scooped her up in his arms and started carrying her towards the baths.
"S-something else?" She asked nervously, not use to parading around naked in the arms of an anthro tiger.
"Mhmmm, what do you remember when you arrived in this world?" He asked as they passed through the doorway and moved over to the second pool; the one Jessica noted had the skittish water element in it.
"Um well." Jessica replied looking from one pool to the other, with her glasses on she could see a little better and recognised the plants she and Opal picked for the elements decorated the pools surface and had produced a delicate white flower. "There was a cave and the jungle and then the um, Amazons caught me, I don't remember too much because I knocked my head."
Without breaking stride the No-one stepped into the pool and eased into the water with Jessica in his arms, the waters rippling as they settled.
"You don't remember water, or a pool of any kind?" The tiger asked settling the girl beside him, she looked around for the resident sprite but couldn't see her in the water, and the tiger took a washcloth and handed it to her.
"Um n-no sir." She said taking the cloth and remembering what she was moved around behind her master to begin washing his back.
"It's alright pet, just something I needed to know." He said easing any possible fears while leaning forward to allow her to wash him.
While she ran the cloth over his fur the water next to them stirred and cautiously a watery head rose up so the owner could look over those who were in the pool and though the feline didn't seem to pay attention to the new comer the girl could see the water sprite slowly rise up.
The large feline paid no attention to sprite but Jessica saw the young element rise up close to where they were bathing.
"Um, hello." She said, after hearing the bad things that had happened to it the girl was more than surprised to see it so near.
The element frowned as one would if they were scrutinising another's work and slowly reached out to suddenly snatch away the washcloth from Jessica's hand, shaking it's head as it began to wash the No-ones back in a certain way, glancing to make sure the girl was watching.
The move was something Jessica didn't expect and realised the magical creature was showing her the correct way to wash the tiger and instead of saying anything chose to pay attention to what the small water femme was doing.
The big male chose not to speak either, instead smirking in a knowing way as the sprite then handed the clothe back to the girl and slowly backed away to leave her to continue her work.
"Wait." Jessica said softly and the element froze, its eyes widening a bit as the human reached down and plucked up one of the flowers on the plants that floated in the water, carefully placing it behind the watery girls ear.
"Thank you." The girl said with a gentle smile as she rinsed the tigers back, the element blinked a few times and looked unsure of what to do before slipping away to melt back into the water the flower floating away with her.
"You seem to have retained a measure of kindness despite what has happened to you." The felines deep voice came.
"Just doing my best to fit in Sir." Jessica replied and adjusted her glasses.
"I see." He mused as he rose from the water. "Well dry off pet, we are going on a trip to answer the question of the possibility of you returning home."
Jessica sat for a moment, a little stunned at the males words, while it had been true her thoughts had been about returning home since she found herself in this strange land, the past few days had given her reason to think twice.
"This is the place."
Jessica opened her eyes and felt solid ground beneath her feet where her Master placed her down, the surrounding jungle she noted was nothing like the tiger's territory as it was much denser and had a more predatory look to it. The cave entrance both she and the big red feline stood before even had an aura of danger emanating from it, like a sign that wanted all who came upon it to stay away or else.
She swooned a little and a large paw settled on her shoulder to steady her balance.
"Careful, first time at shadow travel can be like that." The No-one said without really looking to her.
Shadow travel he called it and to Jessica it had felt like flying at night with the exception the tiger moved along the ground while carrying the girl in his strong arms. Even the plant life they passed seemed to look darker than normal and at times she was sure there were others moving around as well, she had eventually closed her eyes and held close to her master until they arrived at a place he claimed held her answers at getting home.
"Stay close to me, this isn't the place to get lost in." The No-one said starting into the cave, the girl hurrying behind the big feline as the darkness swallowed them both.
Jessica's eyes struggled to focus to the gloom and it became apparent there was something unnatural about the caves interior when she lost sight of her master despite being less than a couple of feet from him, she hesitated as her heightened hearing caught the sound of deep breathing coming from ahead and squeaked in surprise as a strong furry grip snared her wrist.
"I said stay close." The tiger growled softly.
The young girl was about to apologise when the loud sound of an animal growl reverberated down the tunnel and around them, her eyes going wide as fear gripped her heart.
"Who dares set foot in my inner sanctum." Came several voices accompanied by something sniffing the air.
"Oh damn..."
"...you could've let us know..."
"... you were going to pay a visit..."
The No-one chuckled softly and tugged Jessica forward, the two emerging from the thick darkness that filled the tunnel into a large well lit cavern. An ancient looking stone temple lay in the centre of the opening its design similar to an Aztec ziggurat with a flight of stone steps leading up to the entrance.
Seated at the bottom of the stairs and hurriedly standing and making herself look presentable was a huge three-headed canine female.
"Could've cleaned up a bit..."
"...not that we wanted to make a good impression..."
"...or anything like that..." The three heads mumbled in conversation.
Still in her masters grip Jessica was dragged closer towards the creature, it finally stood to show it towered a good four to five feet higher than the tiger she was with.
"Pet, I would like you to meet the Cerberus, Guardian of the Portal. Lista, Mista and Regna" The No-one said by way of introduction each of the heads regard the human with curiosity. "Guardian, this is Jessica, my latest acquisition and trusted pet."
The introduction both surprised and confused Jessica as she didn't realise the tiger had chosen to trust her in anyway, maybe because she had listened and allowed him to own her, not that she felt she had a choice. Or did she?
"My, my..." said Mista, her long hair flowing down to her shoulders.
"..I didn't think a hyooman..." Lista continued, tilting slightly as she looked over the girl.
"...would take your fancy..." Regna finished, then quietly whispered. "Although she looks pretty cute."
The first two looked at the third.
"What?" Regna asked, folding their arms and looking away.
"I'm sorry for the sudden visit but it's more business than pleasure this time ladies." The tiger said, slipping his arm around his pet's shoulders and urging her forward.
Sighing in unison the canine femme flopped down onto a large pile of furs, squirming to get comfortable.
"Ah so what does..."
"...our fledgling guardian..."
"...require of us...?"
Guardian? Jessica thought looking up to her feline master, another surprise.
"This one has a desire to return home." He replied to the Cerberus's question, motioning to Jessica. "Please listen to her story before saying anything."
The Mista looked questioningly at the girl as she took her cue and stepped forward, and related the events that brought her to Eden and that which happened up to her rescue by the red tiger, as the human talked all three heads listened intently, her ears flicking as she lazed on her furs.
"I see..." The first said, slowly sitting up.
"...Please come near child..." The second followed up and beckoned Jessica near.
"...for you may not like what you hear..." The third finished.
Hesitating the girl looked up at the red tiger who simply nodded, a sign there was some trust between the two strange furs and walked towards the seated canine.
"What do you know of this land little one?" The middle head asked Jessica as a pair of strong arms scooped the girl up, the Cerberus standing and turning to the temple steps.
"N-not much ma'am." The girl squeaked in surprise at being lifted, she glance to her master to see him settling onto the ground to wait, a look of deep thought on his face.
"Such a polite child." Regna said as they carried Jessica up the steps. "Let us explain, several centuries ago the creatures you see in habiting this place first arrived, many were seeking a safe place to live as their own worlds were no longer "believing" in them, so to speak."
The canine femme went on as they entered the temple, inside was bare apart from a multitude of runes carved on all four of the walls, the far wall also sporting a large carved archway.
"Um kinda like they stopped being special because normal people stopped believing in the real magic and the old gods and started putting their faith in other things."
"Like technology?" Jessica asked softly, looking around the room.
"Hmm, yes. I remember No-one mentioning it once." Lista said with a nod. "Well anyway from all of those who came here four emerged as strong leaders and made their claim on certain areas that suited them, each individual was allowed to make their own choice as to whom they would follow and soon the four clans were created."
As the guardian spoke she began to point out where it was written, each rune standing out as the tale was told.
"Soon there was a great struggle for supremacy with all four clans warring constantly for things like food, slaves for labour and well for more territory. It became apparent that if the fighting continued then each clan would suffer more than they realised because most of those slain were men, the only ones not to suffer as much were the Amazons whose females were the stronger warriors. Around this time the smarter of the four leaders discovered that a great source of powerful magic could be harnessed and used."
"The elements?" Jessica asked, adjusting her glasses as she tried to follow the runes.
"Yes, elemental magic was the beginning of a new era, fighting eventually died down as new truces were called and trading was established between all four clans with new resources sought and battered for, but one thing remained, the lack of males for breeding."
The girl bit her lip as she took in all this information.
"The old gods decided they would provide, as they did for their loyal followers and soon males began to appear through special portals, usually they would be those who was damned by their own actions or people who wouldn't be missed. The trick was to be where the males appeared in order to claim them, this usually meant minor skirmishes between clans as they laid claim to new arrivals."
"But..." Jessica said with some emotion in her voice. "I'm not like that, w-why was I brought here?"
"Shhh," Mista said stroking the girl's hair in a soothing manner. "We are not sure, the magic bound into the portals could've been corrupted somehow, they have been around for hundreds of years.
"But there is a way home, isn't there?" Jessica looked up and knew from the return gaze it wasn't as easy as it sounded.
"Well yes and no." The middle head of the Cerberus replied. "You see this archway is indeed a way out but the gods decreed that any who were worthy of leaving could do so but they would be allowed to do so in a different life, meaning small one that you can enter the portal to leave but you won't end up where you started from."
"I ... see..." The human sighed softly. "Nothing can be done about people like me, the ones who fall through the cracks?"
"I'm not sure of the term you used child but once you enter Eden you are bound by its rules."
Jessica shivered as the Cerberus's words sunk in, the guardian sensing the girl's disappointment and wrapped both arms around her to hug the girl.
"I'm sorry child, things may not always be fair to us so we must be grateful to what is given."
"What is given?" Jessica frowns and leans into the big femmes embrace, the canines fur surprisingly soft.
"Yes, despite his own history your master is quite the find you are lucky to be with him." The Cerberus grinned and winked, Jessica blushed brightly and realised the tiger had been here before so in a way had to prove his worthiness to pass.
"Um ... well I guess you are right." The girl smiled and looked up. "It may not be my home but home is where we feel welcome, isn't it?"
"I think you will do well in his care little one, so tell me does he still have the elf girl? I do so miss her."
Jessica blushed again and nodded, the two chatting light heartedly about the tiger as they continued to look over the runes.
"We are back Opal." The No-one called out as he carried Jessica past the lairs entrance, the rest of their meeting with the female Cerberus had gone well with talk of returning for a more social visit.
"Um master, may I ask something?" Jessica asked as she was placed down.
"Why didn't I just tell you about the portal myself?" The tiger ventured, knowing what was on his pets mind, the girl nodded slowly.
"Your first owner pretty much told you one thing and I said another, taking you to see the guardian so you could hear the truth from one who knew was better than expecting you to take my word."
"B-but Sir, y-you saved my life and gave me shelter and ... " She hesitated and looked down. " ... love."
The No-one smiled and reached to lift the girl's chin, looking into her green eyes.
"We are similar in the fact we are a long way from home, I choose to make the best of it by gathering to me that which makes me happy."
"I make you happy-?" Jessica began to ask only to be cut off when the tiger leant down to kiss her deeply, the young girls heart skipping a beat.
...Welcome back... They both "heard" in their minds, Opal stood in the tunnel waiting for them, the No-one holding Jessica in the deep kiss for a moment longer before breaking it.
"How did it go?"
The tiger had sent the elf girl on a special errand to seek help for the current situation with the car and its toxic contents, the dark skinned teen grinned madly.
...Oh she was able to help, I have what you asked for plus an invitation to dinner... Opal smirked and pivoted on the balls of her feet.
"Dinner?" Jessica asked, while their bond with each other allowed her master and Opal to almost read her mind, it was still new to the human and something she had yet to master.
"Yes, I asked Opal to go see the leader of the Draconis clan for help and as a result we have been invited to dinner in order to "pay" for it, kind of like a bartering deal." The tiger chuckled and lead the two females into the caves.
"Barter? But what..." Jessica was about to ask then remembered something the Cerberus said, that males were needed to breed with, her cheeks went bright red.
...There was also something else... Opal giggled, sensing her "sisters" thoughts.
"What something?" The No-one asked suddenly stopping as two small blurs zipped past him and down the tunnel, two high pitched giggles echoing of the walls as two fairies flew past them.
...We have been presented two wind sprites to use for sending messages to those we trust...
"I see." The tiger said with a sigh as the two tiny figures zipped back to hover before them, both were tiny winged vixens, one white furred the other black both naked as they buzzed with excitement at seeing the red feline.
...They are quite happy to see you I feel... Opal smiled and held out her hand for the two to land on, both fairies bowing to their new owner.
"Quite a collection we have my elf." The feline remarked, nodding to the two new arrivals. "I am heading out ASAP, I want to tie up any loose ends and check out a few things, when I return we will celebrate."
"Celebrate Sir?" Jessica asked, tilting her head and feeling Opal behind her.
...New additions to our family sister, yourself included... The elf girl purred and slipped her free arm around the human's waist and kissed her neck, the tiger smirked and turned to set of to make ready to depart.
After her master left Jessica set about doing her chores, replacing the sheets on the bed before making her way around the lair to tend to the magical creatures that she now lives with, all the while her mind working through all the things she learned from their visit to the Cerberus.
The history explained some things and the girl also found out some more interesting things about the red tiger and while it appeared returning to her real home seemed like an impossible thing she knew where she was now was just as good, maybe even better.
Splashing water brought her attention back to the task at hand and Jessica entered the bathing room, the two water sprites were giggling and swimming around and happily playing, waiting at the entrance the human could see the smaller of the two still had the flower behind her ear that was placed there earlier.
"Um hello." Jess said entering and making her presence known, the two sprites stopping to look over, one smiling brightly while the other stiffened a bit before relaxing.
"I just came to see if there was anything you needed." The girl said stopping short of the pool the pair was in, the bolder of the two looking to her friend then back to Jessica, beckoning the girl closer and pointing to something in the water.
"Oh is something there?" The girl asked, taking off her glasses and placing them to the side before moving closer and leaning over the edge to look.
The element gave a soft giggle and quickly snared Jessica's wrist, pulling the surprised girl into the water with a loud squeak of shock, the sound of laughter greeted Jessica's ears as she surfaced and coughed to regain her breath, her smock drenched and clinging to her slender form.
"That wasn't very nice." She tried to sound disappointed but knew the female sprite was only being playful, a soft touch on the humans shoulder made her turn around.
The skittish element, the one with the flower was standing close to her with a hand on the human girl, her face a mask of anticipation as Jessica gave a soft smile.
"It's alright, I know you were only having fun." She started saying and found herself in a passionate kiss with the smaller water element.
The other closed in from behind and sandwiched Jessica between them, running her hands over the young girls arms as the three hugged. Surprise registered for a moment on her face before she found herself responding to the sprites kiss and the presence of the two femmes hugging her gave a warm, safe feeling that made her tremble in the heated waters.
A gasp accompanied the breaking of the kiss, Jessica's cheek blushing red as the water sprite looked similarly embarrassed, glancing to her friend who nodded and continued cuddling the human from behind, the sign enough for her to lean in again and place her lips lightly on the skin of Jessica's neck.
"Ooooh." She moaned as the touch was not warm as she expected but cold, not an uncomfortable cold but one enough for her skin to tingle lightly.
A smile appeared as another kiss was given, lower this time on the girl's chest, even through the damp material the chill could be felt and Jessica's nipples hardened as the femme kissed slowly around them.
Finding herself in a tight hug, Jessica squirmed as her warm body was teased with cold kisses, each one lower than the last as the magical femme lifted her wet clothing to reveal her bare slit, soft hands gently easing open the girls legs as a cool tongue caressed her belly.
"Oh god." The writhing human panted in between breaths, a warm nibbling on her ear conflicted with the cold tingles affecting her body, her eyes closing and back arching as the cool touch ran along her hot nether lips, her clit throbbing madly as the water sprite teased her.
Feeling the girl lean back and lift her hips the element smiled and thrust her cold tongue into her wet snatch and was rewarded with a wave of hot nectar as the cool blissful intrusion made Jessica cum immediately, her lusty cries echoing off the rock walls while the oral assault showed no signs of stopping, the amazing feeling swirling about her loins as the tongue swirled about her inner passage.
Her juices flowing into the sprites hungry mouth, Jessica groaned and bucked her hips as a second climax was drawn from her belly, her mind spinning as the cold and hot feelings mixed in wonderful display of pleasure, another cool tongue invaded her mouth and she suckled it as the other element heightened her bliss more, the girl cumming again as she felt something akin to cold liquid squirting into her pussy and fill her womb, the intense high lasting a long time as the three settled together in the warm waters, snuggling and caressing until Opal came to see what had be keeping Jessica.
The No-one returned to the cave where he and Yur'kio found the car half expecting to find the Amazon leopardess waiting for him outside but when he saw no one he decided to head inside and deal with the remains of the cars petrol tank himself, the contents of the fine leather bag he carried would more than take care of it. It was one thing to have technology pollute this primal world but it was another to allow it to affect it in a bad way.
The tiger shook his head, once upon a time he wouldn't have given this situation a second thought, allowing it to run its own cycle but now he had a new sense of responsibility, one that was thrust upon him and in a way one he didn't mind seeing he was allowed to live in a peaceful way.
A soft muttering echoed down the tunnel and he recognised Yur'kio's voice, she seemed to be chanting something and this gave the male another reason to think she and her clan was up to something. Slowing his step and shifting into a dark stealth he moved forward until he came into the large cave where the shell of the car still lay, instead of being near it the leopardess was kneeling near the broken stalagmite the No-one had been examining earlier.
As the Amazon chanted the runes on the rock glowed faintly then died, drawing a hissed curse from the female warrior.
"Language, please." The No-one said, dropping his shadowy cloak and regarding the femme with curiosity.
"Damn you." Yur'kio growled and spun around quickly with two short swords drawn. "Why did you come back?"
"To deal with that." He pointed to the twisted wreck, the tiger frowning for a moment as his eyes noticed something different about it but chose to press on with the leopardess's situation. "What are you doing?"
"It is none of your concern." She snapped, choosing not to sheath her swords. "And judging from the sounds I heard from the cave earlier I thought you were already here."
"What are you talking about?" The No-one asked, padding over to the car.
"Don't play games with me, there was someone in here doing something with that." She pointed a sword at the car. "I heard it."
"And you didn't bother coming in to see who." The tiger smirked, seeing it would've upset what ever it was Yur'kio wanted to do.
"Humph, if it was only you then I saw no reason in having to put up with your presence again."
The No-one ignored the obvious jab and examined the remains of the car, someone had indeed been here as more pieces of panelling were missing as well as the fuel tank, looking at the ground he noticed more unusual marks, large footprints of something possibly manufactured.
"Not good." He said, gripping the bag tightly in one paw and standing up, there was something else in these caves and if he was right, something that needed to be dealt with quickly, the only question was "Did they have the strength to do so?"
"What is "not good"? And what is that?" Yur'kio snarled, sounding impatient and looking at something past both him and the car.
The tone in her voice was typical arrogance and the tiger rose and looked to where Yur'kio was pointing, the light given off from the pool illuminated some of the cave but most was still shrouded in darkness and where the feline had pointed a pair of small red dots glowed angrily about nine feet from the ground, a tiny blue flame suddenly appeared and it set alarm bells off in the No-ones head.
"GET DOWN" He yelled and launched himself at the Amazon, knocking her down as a gout of flame erupted from the tunnel entrance where a large metallic figure stood hidden by the shadows.
The two felines rolled and hit the pools water as the flame followed then cut out giving the two time to scramble behind the cover of the car.
"What manner of creature is that?" Yur'kio spat, having lost a sword in the mad scramble, the tiger looking around for his bag.
"A robot." The No-one replied then remembered the leopardess's lack of knowing. "A very smart metal golem, a rather angry one too."
Yur'kio looked bemused until the sound of metal on metal screeched through the air, its thudding footsteps indicated it advanced on those hiding behind the wrecked vehicle.
The tiger motioned to the Amazon to push the car towards the advancing behemoth then split up, sneering the femme nodded reluctantly and readied herself. Waiting until the robot gripped the car the two big cats pushed hard, toppling the car towards the metal creature before dashing apart, Yur'kio going for her other sword while the tiger dove for his leather bag.
Caught off guard the construct stumbled backwards and tried to regain its balance, in the light the No-one could see the armoured machine was covered in rust, almost like it was made from scrap, pieces of the car had been torn from the wreck and adorned different areas of the creature in a bid to repair itself, on its right arm sat a makeshift flamethrower, no doubt where the remains of the cars petrol was now.
Growling in anger the Amazon turned and took up an attacking stance, not sure of the danger this thing posed and not caring as she charged it, the metal man pivoting towards her with its weapon arm outstretched to fire off a blast only to have a minor ball of flame puff out before dying altogether.
"Well that takes care of the gasoline problem." The tiger remarked as the leopardess's strike clanged on the robots arm, her skills allowing her to easily dodge the creature's clumsy return blow. "Now we need to deal with Robby here."
Opening the bag he pulled out a bottle of clear liquid, one of six he was given to deal with his problem and now it had escalated into something else.
"Should help, so let's try shall we." He looked up as a crackle of energy filled the air, the robot having stopped trying to hit the annoyance it saw in Yur'kio and blasted her with a bolt of electricity, the feline femme yelping in pain and was sent flying back into another stalagmite that decorated the cave.
Stepping forward the robot closed the distance to the Amazon and raise its fist to deliver the final blow but was suddenly confronted by a large red tiger.
"Got something for you ugly." It growled and tossed a glass bottle at robots head, shattering and covering it in liquid.
For a moment the metal creature did nothing, almost waiting as two more bottles shattered on its armoured form and splashing more of its contents over it.
"Confused?" The No-one asked, moving forward with unnatural speed, a dark energy forming in his fists as a soft hissing started coming from he liquid already on the robot. "Good."
Holding its arm up and finally registering the acid eating its way through the metal the construct stepped back not seeing the tigers attack until too late, the felines powerful double over-headed blow hammering down onto the domed metal head and crushing it easily thanks to the acid.
The big metal monster staggering back as its valuable circuits smashed due to the blow then fizzled as the acid leaked in to eat away at them, the body shuddering in its death throes before finally creaking and falling back onto the ground.
The sound echoed through the cave and tunnels before all went silent save to the Amazons groans of pain.
"You alright?" The No-one asked, looking down at the leopardess as she rolled over and tried to rise.
"L-like you c-care." She growled in reply and made it to her feet out of pride.
"Well you took quite a blast there." The tiger said and walked over to the downed robot, looking it over before using the last of the acid on its insides to ensure it remained as dead as the car was now. "Pretty brave of you too."
"More than some..." She began then watched the red feline deal with the golem. "But then you fight differently..."
"I also saved your life too." He chuckled and stood up. "Which means you owe me now."
"I..." Yur'kio started but lowered her head, grinding her teeth knowing he was right.
"So why don't you tell me what you are doing here." The No-one said, his smile disappearing as he became more serious. "Dyandah wouldn't send you here for any reason unless it was very important."
"What?" The femme asked her eyes going wide as this was the last thing she wanted to speak of.
"No don't tell me, let me guess." He smirked at the femme and started towards the broken stalagmite Yur'kio was chanting near. "This here is part of a portal designed to transport people here, only it's not one of the ones the old gods know of because it was created here by parties who thought they could get away with bringing just anyone in."
While the tiger spoke Yur'kio remained quiet.
"And for awhile it worked fine, bringing in new slaves that were "conviniently" discovered by those who put it here, but one day it brought something it shouldn't have." He turned to the robot. "Something that for some reason damaged part of the set-up and disrupted the inflow of "ready to be collected" slaves so they send the most trust worthy person they could to come see if it could be fixed."
The No-one growled softly and turned to the Amazon.
"Stop me if I'm wrong."
Yur'kio folded her arms and remained silent,looking away from the male as he spoke, a sign he was right.
"Yeah I thought so." He sneered and started looking around the cave, spying three more stalagmites that were similar to the one that was damaged.
"So now what do you plan to do?" The beg femme sighed.
A loud roar made her jump as the No-one launched a dark punch at another of the columns, shattering it into pieces, he did the same with the others.
"You will go back and tell your mistress that this is a lost cause." He padded to the remains of the robot and tore a melting piece off and tossed it to her. "Proof that some "monster" went berserk and you did your duty in slaying it."
Yur'kio caught the piece and looked at the tiger in disbelief.
"You want me to lie?" She sounded surprised more than anything.
"If you want to erase your debt to me you will." He smirked knowing full well she would lie to the gods rather than admit to owing her life to a mere male; especially one she detested so much. "Also a warning that if I find any more of these then they will suffer a similar fate."
"Very well." She sighed and sheathed her swords, taking the metal and leaving the tiger to clean up around the twisted metal remains.
I may not have the numbers to start a war with the Amazons but I can sure as hell keep them on their toes. The No-one thought, keeping his eye on the femme as she left.
...You're looking happy... Opal remarked as the No-one padded into the dining area, he tossed he bag into the corner and took a seat.
"It's not everyday you get the better of someone who hates your guts." he answered and looked around. "Where's our pet?"
...She rests Sir, It has been a long day for her... The dark elf smiled as though she knew something.
In bed Jessica slept soundly, curled up with a smile on her face while the two fairy vixens lay sleeping next to her, the girl dreaming of happy blissful things while deep down inside her body now held a surprising secret.
