Chapter Eight; Meet the K and I
Tarith was on her way out of town with the stuff she had. She kept looking around warily, since this was a bad time to be out. The dangerous people came out at night. She was vulnerable and had a lot of valuable stuff. So she went quickly but carefully, avoiding anyone she saw or thought she saw. She was nearing the edge of a city when an arrow flew out of the darkness and struck her in the side. She gasped in pain and clutched the area where the arrow hit her. She was in immense pain and struggled to keep going but forced herself along, trying to get away from whoever shot the arrow and get back to her house.
Suddenly, seven guys came out from the darkness and tried to pin Tarith to the ground; ripping her clothes off.
Tarith screamed and tried to struggle; but the arrow in her side prevented her from doing so.
"No! Get off me!" she screamed.
Suddenly; there was a roar in the air and two figures jumped from the darkness; one a humanoid, the other, was quite obviously a feral dragon.
They were wearing black suits; so it was really tough to find out what they really looked like.
The anthro one started doing a series of flips and used dual small staffs to beat the dragons that were trying to rape Tarith.
The feral one growled and started smacking the other dragons around with stupid ease.
After about two minutes; the rapists finally gave up and ran; howling.
The figures in black suits helped Tarith up and the anthro one said through a voice changer; "Tarith; are you allright?"
Tarith groaned in pain, blood running down from the arrow wound. She was semi-conscious, and obviously in a lot of pain.
The feral dragon spoke to the anthro dragon, "She is in bad shape. It looks like the arrow penetrated deep, probably nicked an artery based on how much she is bleeding. Lets get her to a safe place. Out here is no place to help her."
The anthro dragon nodded and said again; "Yes. Take her to execute Alpha Bravo Tango. Oh; Charlie two; drop a note by X-ray three. You know where that is. We're Oscar Mike; let's fuckin' boogie!"
The feral one nodded to the anthro one and quickly wrote a note for Tarith's house.
The note read;
KI, Tarith. We have her. We're saving her. Wounded from attack, we saved her. Will Return her quickly.
The feral one ran as fast as Lightning and got to Tarith's house and dropped the note for Koruak.
Then he ran just as fast back to the leader, the anthro dragon and together they disappeared in the night back to headquarters to heal Tarith.
Tarith remained semi-conscious for some of the trip, but passed out from blood loss on the way there.
The feral dragon said, "Charlie one, we are Defcon 2. Hump it."
The anthro one nodded and they both increased their speed, Tarith's life hanging in the balance of how fast they could get her back to their headquarters and heal her.
They got there about two minutes later and were surrounded by nurses and doctors that were well paid for their medical abilities and their silence.
The anthro dragon removed his mask and said to the feral one; "Tomorrow; one of us needs to go and bring the female back to her house; who gets the job Iseras?"
Iseras thought about it, "I'll do it. I am less visible during the day. and Krayven, we must hurry, she is getting weaker by the minute."
He carefully slid her off of his back into a waiting stretcher and said, "I know we do this a lot, but I think we might need to tone down on this a bit Krayven. We should only save a person's life if it is certain they are going to die. I know, I know, I bring this up a lot but I am meaning it. We can help them indirectly. And I for one would like to see how her brother helps her. Those two intrigue me."
The nurses came up and so did an anthro green and white dragon. He was wearing a doctor's suit.
"Krayven; I can save her; but she'll be in pain for a while. I need to get her down to the med bay."
Krayven, aka: Charlie one, looked at the anthro dragon male and said: "Thanks Klakhi; I know. Go ahead and work on her. You're the best damn doctor I know."
Klakhi blushed slightly and said; "Thanks."
Then he turned to his nurses and doctors and said; "Okay; we have a dragoness to save."
Krayven turned to Iseras and said; "Yes. I know you mean it. I know you do Iseras. But she had an arrow in her side; she would have died within minutes. Now the brother intrigues me as well: he saved her once. And I have a feeling that he'll save her again. Now; let's either go back out hunting, or stay here and relax; your call."
Iseras said, "Lets go out hunting. I have more to say."
Krayven nodded and hopped onto Iseras' back so they could talk better. Iseras flew out again and turned back to Krayven, "You know I can see the future. Specific events in time that are destined to happen. I looked at the girl and saw that in two months from tonight, she will get hit again. An arrow, in a similar spot to where she was struck. It is blurry, but it looks like one dragon on that attack. My gut tells me she will survive, but I want to watch her. I want to see how her brother treats her, and see which one of two visions I have with him will come true."
Krayven nodded and replied back to Iseras; "Yes; I have known for a while that you can see the future. I sleep in the same room as you do; sometimes you whisper things to come in your sleep. I have to take a damn sleeping pill some nights; but sleeping next to a best friend and a Future Seeker really does have advantages though. And as for me; I want to keep tabs on that Lil Bane. He looks like he could have some importance later. I've been watching him for a while. He seems a good kid; but just has an overactive libido. Anyway; who shall we hit tonight?"
Meanwhile, Koruak was wondering where Tarith was.
"Goddamnit Tarith; the fuck are you now? You should be home goddamit!"
and he slammed his fist onto the concrete floor; then shouted; "Ouch!"
he rubbed his fist and said; "Not my smartest move yet I'll say that."
Then he went to the door and found the note, he read it and sighed.
"Shit. Well; at least I can know that my sis, err, half-sis, is safe I guess."
Iseras nodded, "We'll keep tabs on our intrigue ones. For the hit, how about we hit that businessman's warehouse? I got a lead that says he is hoarding a lot of various supplies. Our stores are running low, but this warehouse should keep us well stocked for a year. Lets just hope no PeaceKeepers are around. I am not eager to cut it close again like last time."
Krayven chuckled and said; "Yeah. Almost lost my arm doing that. Though I will say, Iseras, err, Charlie Two; I think one of those girls had the hots for you."
Iseras blushed and said; "No, no. she did not Krayven. Just because she was looking at me, doesn't mean that she has the 'hots' for me."
Krayven laughed and replied; "She did much more than just 'look at you', winked and then scratched inbetween her legs, then, with the same finger, while we were tied up back to back, she rubbed your nose, and then your groin. Then she brought it up to her mouth and blew a kiss to you."
Iseras blushed and used his tail to smack Krayven in the back of the head.
Krayven just laughed and said; "Allright; masks on; can't risk being found out. Lucky that girl, who does have the hawtyhots for you, doesn't pull off that mask, and then unzip you."
Iseras rolled his eyes and, in midair, put his mask on.
Iseras flew to the warehouse and cruised above it, "A few sentries. Not that many though. Must be a lot inside. Charlie one, let get them."
With a silent furl of his wings he swooped down, aiming for a dark spot so Krayven could kill off the sentries while he provided air support. He opened his wings at the last second and Krayven leapt off his back, landing silently in the dark spot as Iseras climbed again and kept his eyes in scanning the ground and the air for trouble.
Krayven was very silent as he quickly disabled the guards and sentries, he didn't kill them, but disabled them, like he always did.
He circled the parimeter and then took an air dart and threw it up to Iseras.
The dart whizzed by him.
It was the signal that meant the outside was all clear.
Iseras descended silently, landing next to Krayven, "Alright, now we got to take care of the inside."
He approached the door and placed his paw on it, using his rare ability, Time Glimpse.
"There are seven guards inside. Ready Charlie one?"
Krayven nodded and pulled out his silenced ump .45.
The gun wouldn't kill people, since it was only tranquilizers inside of an aluminum casing that let out a charge that would temporarily disable the nervous system.
The people Krayven was about to shoot would wake up with little memory of what happened and would have a nasty body ache.
He cocked the rifle and said; "Let's go."
Iseras nodded and quickly entered, using his quick speed to draw the guards' attentions so Krayven could neutralize them without being noticed. the guards took the bait and turned to what they saw a flash of black, no longer focused on their duty.
Krayven had shot the seven guards and ran in with very fast agility.
He regrouped with Iseras, Charlie Two, and said; "Okay. Imma draw the enemy fire, you take the crates into the Wyrmhole, just like we always do. It was our own invention, we use it to sell things to people. Okay? I see a few more guards here and there; and I need to draw their fire. Can you do this, Charlie Two?"
Iseras nodded, "Got it Charlie One. Don't get shot, and let's hope the 9-0 don't get involved."
He started looking at the nearest crates, checking their contents before taking them. No crate was ever left behind because if it wasn't valuable, it could be bartered. Nothing was wasted. He moved quickly, getting stuff into the Wyrmhole as fast as he could.
Krayven, Charlie One, jumped up three decks and ran towards the enemies; shooting each one quietly in the back of the neck with the same gun that stunned people earlier.
Then fell like rocks and were on the platform in an instant; no noise.
However; another one, a few decks up; saw the movement, not easy to do, and launched a grenade from his gun at Krayven.
Krayven, however, heard the grenade trigger pulled, and instead of moving forward, he quickly jumped backwards; evading the grenade just in time to see it explode near where he used to be.
He took his gun and shot four rounds into the soldier's chest; knocking him out cold for at least a week.
He said over the radio to Charlie Two; "last guard taken care of. But I suggest you use that Time Gift of yours and speed this shit up."
Iseras growled, "I can see into the future, not manipulate time. And I'm no miracle worker! You want to speed things up, gimme a hand!"
He had emptied quite a bit of the warehouse, but he was just one dragon and could only do so much. he didn't tell Krayven this but he saw PeaceKeepers coming, and he wanted to get outta here before they arrived.
Krayven said back into the radio; "You got it hotshot. See anything coming?"
And he jumped five stories down right in front of Iseras.
"Sorry I be late. Fucker threw a grenade at me. Not exactly easy to dodge, you know. If you see anything coming; pack what you can and let's get the hell outta here."
Krayven also worked with Iseras; the process going twice as fast now that Krayven was helping.
"Allright; I think that's all we can take for now. I should have brought the spare Wyrmhole. Shit, why didn't I? Anyway; it's at maximum stable capacity. We put any more in it; and we risk a massive explosion. Allright; let's go now."
Iseras nodded, "Okay, we are out of here!"
He grabbed the Wyrmhole and shot out of the warehouse, seeing the PeacKeepers about 10 minutes away. He booked it away, making sure Krayven was not far behind him. The PeaceKeepers would give chase, but if the two could outfly them, then they would give up and secure the warehouse. Iseras and Krayven got all they could anyways.
Krayven followed Iseras out and then he jumped on Iseras' back and they flew the hell out of that place.
In midair; Krayven looked at Iseras and said; "You know; I've been thinking; whenever there's a female on our base around, even in any stripper bar, you don't get that hard, but whenever there's a PeaceKeeper around; you start thinking about them and your cock gets hard nearly instantly, why is that Iseras? I have been able to smell your pheromones. I don't get that about you. And I wonder if PeaceKeepers just turn you on or something; but you need to remember; we're on the Black Market; the PK people are our enemies. Dating one of them is considered collaboration with the enemies. And that doesn't fly in this record."
Iseras blushed, "Okay, you got me. Yes, I like the PeaceKeeper females. They are so much sexier than the females I normally see. And besides, they aren't like most females who would open their legs willingly or not put up much of a fight. They got spunk. And I admit, I like that in a female."
He flew rapidly, making it out of there in one piece. He sighed and slowed down as they entered over the city.
"but I would never date one. I know they are our enemies, but damn they have bodies almost unrivaled by any female. the girl we saved is just as sexy, but she is too young for me. I would never take someone as young as her."
Krayven smiled and said jokingly and teasingly; "My mother was a former PeaceKeeper. I have her body though. Would you consider me?"
He chuckled slightly.
Krayven was straight; but he liked teasing people like that a lot. It was one of his characteristics.
Iseras blushed deeply and said; "Uh, well, uh, he-hey n-now. No need for that."
But Krayven only laughed harder and said; "Aha! I knew it! Pay up! You like me-ee. You like me-ee!"
Iseras rolled his eyes and said; "No; I like this!"
And he rolled over, dropping Krayven before nose diving and catching him.
"Waddya think of that?"
Krayven rolled his eyes and kicked Iseras in the tail; saying; "I think you're an ass sometimes."
He chuckled and said; "Let's just go home. And by now; that dragoness should be fine and awake and ready to leave soon."
Tarith was awake but wondering where she was. She was naked, but a sheet was covering her body. She hissed in pain and clutched her side where the arrow used to be.
"Where am I? What happened to me?"
the anthro dragon doctor looked at her and said; "You are with K and I hospital. I am Klakhi; the doctor that saved you. They should be coming back from mission at any time soon."
There was a slight beeping sound and Klakhi said; "Oh; they're here now."
Klakhi gave Tarith some water and said; "Drink that; I'll send someone to see you soon."
Ten minutes later, Krayven and Iseras were in the room with Tarith and Klakhi; explaining things.
Tarith looked confused.
"So, what you're saying, is that you saved me and now your going to let me go? Free of charge? What's the catch?"
she was a smart dragoness; not really wanting to have one of those rapes that said; 'oh by the way on your way out we'll rape you'. She'd tell them to kiss her olive green arse.
Krayven nodded and said; "Yes, Ma'am. That's what we're telling you. We'll drop you down at your house. Hope you're making good use of those supplies."
Tarith looked at them both, "No charge? No demanding anything from me? No fine print?"
Iseras shook his head, "No ma'am. We don't work like that. we don't save you, just to rape you or any of that other nightmarish bullshit out there. We want to help people. But by now I am sure your brother is getting worried. Here, I will take you home."
He lied down so she could get onto his back.
Tarith eyed him warily, and a little fearfully.
"You want me to ride you? Is that safe? What if I fall? What if you drop me?"
Krayven chuckled and said; "In the seven years I have known Iseras; he's not ever, not once dropped me when I fly with him. He won't drop you. Believe me. Even when the son of a bitch is hammered drunk; he can still fly a straight line. Believe me; he can. And if he does drop you; he'll answer to me personally. He'll die a very slow very painful death. Anyway; that said; to answer your questions in the order you asked:
Yes. Yes. You won't fall, he won't drop you; see above."
Tarith nodded and slowly got up, suddenly realizing that she is naked.
"Um, could I get some clothes please?"
She was suddenly very embarrassed that she was standing naked in front of a whole group of people.
Iseras said, "Before we do get you some clothes, may I grab one of your breasts first?"
Of course he wasn't being pervy. He had a plan, and it was something that Tarith would definitely appreciate.
Krayven gave Iseras a questioning and accusing glance. He folded his arms and said; "Iseras; what the hell are you planning?"
Tarith took a step back and said; "You know; I really knew there'd be a price like that. God; I can't get through one day in my life without being raped, touched, or oogled over. So fine, Mister Perve; go at it."
She hissed in frustration.
Then she mumbled; "Knew I shouldn't have trusted this dragon."
Iseras said, "Watch."
He got up and gently grabbed one of her breasts. His paw glowed for a second then faded. He lowered his paw and a bra, panties, shirt, and pants formed from the glowing mark left on her breast and Iseras smiled.
"No matter how many times that stuff gets ripped off of you or torn to shreds, it will always come back onto your body fully repaired and clean. The same will go for your other clothes when you touch them. It won't be instantaneous but they should come back in about 20 minutes. Consider it a gift."
Krayven nodded with a look of understanding and said; "Hmph; haven't done that before have ya Iseras? Nice gift if I say so myself."
Tarith looked at her new outfit and said; "Thanks. Eh, sorry about the language earlier; I'm just so used to pervs coming onto me so much that I tend to be skeptical nowadays. Little question if it's not too much to ask; would it be possible to craft one of those fancy clothe regenerating things for my brother?"
Tarith wasn't trying to be a pest, but she did want her family taken care of.
Iseras nodded, "It's okay. I wanted it to be a surprise. I'll admit you are a very beautiful girl, but you are too young for me to make an advance on. Besides, with your past, I would understand completely. And I can make one for your brother. Like you, I would simply touch his chest and something similar would appear. Now are you ready to leave?"
Tarith nodded and got onto Iseras' back, getting settled in.
"Thank you, for saving my life and giving me a gift. But, um, where is the stuff I had with me? It had a lot of valuables in it and I would like to be able to take them home."
Krayven looked to Klakhi and said; "Bring in the packages for Tarith, Klakhi."
Klakhi nodded and went to a filing cabinet and brought out the packages that Tarith had with her.
"If your wondering if we did anything to it, the answer is yes. And I did something to it. I improved the capacity from three terabytes to twenty-five terabytes. You're welcome. It was quite annoying, and nearly impossible, but I think you'll like it now. Granted; it will be a bit heavier than normal, but at maximum capacity only by four or so pounds. And it is light to begin with. And I put a few new weaponries in with it. Like a whip sword, a staff, a regular katana with a poison chamber that can turn even water into a deadly poison, and I also put a couple years worth of microwavable food in there, complete with a no noise, no radiation microwave. Again; you're welcome."
Krayven rolled his eyes at Klakhi and said; "Yes. She is welcome here any time and yes you are brilliant, and yes sometimes you are stupid, but anyway; I think we should get going. Okay?"
Tarith nodded, "Thanks guys. You are all great people. Even you pervy dragon."
Iseras snorted, "I am not pervy. I just wanted to surprise you. Hold on tight, and off we go."
He took off and climbed a bit before heading to Tarith's house, making sure he wouldn't get spotted along the way.
Tarith enjoyed the fly back home. It may have been near midnight and was near freezing cold up in the air; but it was real fun being up in the air and flying.
"Must be nice like this; being able to fly."
Iseras nodded and said; "Yes; but sometimes I feel lonely. Well; anyway; this is your stop soon."
Iseras began a slow and steady descent down to where Tarith lived; using his suit of black material as cover.
When he touched down on the ground, he folded his wings in and said quietly; "Well, it's been interesting. If you could have your brother come out, that would be nice."
Tarith nodded and dismounted Iseras, getting to the ground and trying to find her 'land legs' again.
Iseras quickly reached out and steadied her, "There you go."
Tarith smiled, "Thanks."
She walked into the house, wincing a bit from where the arrow had struck her. At least she had been saved. She didn't want to leave her brother alone.
"Koruak? I'm home."
Koruak came out really quickly, limping. He had suffered minor injuries.
"I felt all the things you felt today, Tarith. It wasn't fun. Anyway; who's this and what happened?"
he was naked at this point with a hardon. His clothes didn't fit him, and with an erection; even less so.
Iseras spoke up and said; "I am Iseras; I work with K and I. The I stands for Iseras. I helped save your sister. She was shot with an arrow. And by the way; I have a gift for you; if my paw touches your chest; clothes that can generate within 20 minutes of being even the worst torn and burned will appear on your chest refurbished and clean. Are you willing to accept this gift?"
Koruak nodded and stepped forward; "Nice suit. But I'd prefer yellow spandex."
Iseras rolled his eyes at Koruak's comment and put his paw on Koruak's chest with a glowing feel. And instantly; a white teeshirt, a blue cover shirt and a darker blue coat appeared on Koruak's torso while underwear and jeans, socks, and comfortable boots appeared on Koruak.
The male dragons stepped back and Koruak looked at his new look; "Nice. Well, uh, thanks Iseras for saving my sister, err, half sister actually, whatever, makes no difference. And well; guess I'll see you later I think."
Tarith waved Iseras goodbye and Iseras took off in the night.
Tarith stepped in and said; "Wow; uh, slightly refurbished stuff I see."
Koruak looked at Tarith and said; "Outside; shit, inside, refurbished shit; in the very middle; extremely hard to penetrate. I rebuilt the house for you basically and made it undetectable. Nobody can break down the doors or anything. I put a huge locking system on it. Good luck breaking through it though."
He showed her the rest of the house; and it was slightly refurbished; but Tarith and Koruak would sleep better knowing that while the house still looked like slightly refurbished poo, it was really safe now.
