Furry search engine

formerly SoFurry search engine

Floating in the silent reaches of space, Earth and its satellite, the Moon, orbited the sun. Stars shone against the black backdrop, lacking the twinkle when seen from earth. In orbit around Earth, dozens of synthetic objects orbited the planet. The International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, weather and communication satellites and scraps of metal broken off from satellites that had long been forgotten made up the 33,000 objects around Earth.

So amid all these objects, it was easy for a silver, saucer-shaped alien ship to move close to Earth without being spotted amid the clutter. It stopped a good distance away from the planet, keeping orbit around it. On the underside of the ship, a small saucer detached from the main one and began to fly towards Earth. It made its route directly towards the continent of Africa.

---

On the continent of Africa on the plains of Kenya's Serengeti, the sun was beginning to set over the vast region of savannah grasslands. The distinctive shape of Mount Kilimanjaro cast a shadow far over the plains. On the plains itself a vast heard of buffalo was gathering for the night along several smaller herds of zebra. Overhead African birds flew to their nests for the night.

Driving along on the plains was a white Land Rover with Kenyan registration plates. Inside the vehicle was the furry couple Striker and Phoenix. Striker was behind the wheel while Phoenix sat next to him, looking at a map of the Serengeti she spread out on the dashboard.

Striker glanced towards her. Phoenix was a female Pomeranian canine with red/orange fur, long hair and a short, curly and fluffy tail. She wore, like Striker, a khaki shirt and pants and a white sleeveless t-shirt underneath. Her clothes were more fitting her female figure, fitting to her body smoothly and showing off her contours.

Striker:"How much further?"

Phoenix examined the map with her brown eyes, then looked up at Striker. Striker was a male cocker spaniel with mostly light orange fur, broken up by white fur running from his muzzle down her neck and chest to his groin. He also wore khaki shirt and pants with a white t-shirt underneath, his short, fluffy tail sticking out through the special hole in the pants.

Phoenix:"Not far, Love. Just 2 more kilometers and we're there."

Striker:"Wonderlik."

Striker, coming from an Afrikaner family in South Africa, sometimes slipped on his English. Phoenix didn't mind it, however. In fact, it was a personal characteristic that identified Striker to her. He continued speaking.

Striker:"Once we arrive, we can set up camp and spend the night. Tomorrow we can go on further."

Phoenix:"That's great. My rump is a bit sore from all the sitting and bumpy roads. It's killing me."

Striker glanced over at her again, grinning a little.

Striker:"Should I give it a little massage later on?"

Phoenix couldn't help but to giggle, then smile at Striker.

Phoenix:"Sure. Let's first set up camp and then we can talk about it."

She winked at Striker, and he winked back. Then they turned their attention back to the plains and the map.

---

High above the Serengeti, coming from the darker side of the sky, the saucer ship followed the Land Rover down on the plains. Looking down at the vehicle from the circular cockpit windows on the upper side of the saucer, the five aliens followed their quarry.

The aliens were short, grey-skinned humanoids with boney fingers, arms and legs with large heads. The two black eyes had no pupils or eyelids and their mouths were small, thins slits. Though they wore no clothing, their bodies gave no indication of their genders.

One of aliens, working at computer tracking the vehicle below, turned to the others.

Alien 1:"The human vehicle is slowing down. It might be stopping."

Another alien sighed his relief.

Alien 2:"Great news, Lik. I am tired of this chase."

The alien standing next to the second one turned to look in surprise.

Alien 3:"Tired? But we have only been tracking these specimens for a few quantum clicks, Sif."

Sif:"That is just it, Bir. These sub-creature capture expeditions are boring. I can't wait when we can finally attack and take over this puny world."

Bir:"We DO have orders to do. Without two specimens we cannot carry out the experiments to test the Space King's new weapon of conquest."

Sif:"That does not make this any less boring."

Bir shrugged, then turned to Lik.

Bir:"Where is the vehicle now?"

Lik:"It has stopped. Two of the creatures are getting out. Perhaps they are preparing to rest."

Bir:"This is our chance!"

Bir quickly turned to the two remaining aliens, who were using ultra-advanced computer systems to pilot the saucer.

Bir:"Til! Din! Land us near the area where those two specimens are."

Din turned look back at Bir.

Din:"We do we not use the tractor beam to capture the specimens right now? It would be fast."

Bir:"We need to see if these two are the right specimens we are looking for. We will waste time abducting every worthless earth creature we come across."

Din:"Okay. We'll land."

Bir:"Good. Then we can go capture the specimens. Remember: captain Kig needs these two specimens alive, so no killing them."

Til mumbled under his breath.

Til:"All these little subtleties."

The saucer, keeping a good distance from the Land Rover, begins to descend down onto the Serengeti plains towards a large rocky outcropping.

---

Having stopped in a small clear alongside a large rocky outcropping jutting out from the plains, Striker and Phoenix set up their night camp. They put up a khaki camping tent and got a fire going. The sun's rays were slowly disappearing over the horizon, shrouding the Serengeti in darkness.

Phoenix has made some tea in a pot over the fire for the two of them and poured it into cups. The couple sat alongside each other on a rock, watching the sunset.

Phoenix cuddled up to Striker and rested her head on his shoulder.

Phoenix:"It was a wonderful idea to come here for a little relaxation. Just you and me, away from the hustle and bustle of Unit STRIKE."

Unit STRIKE was a special armed unit of which Striker was the leader and Phoenix his second, though they never formally established that. Their unit did work in areas where politics would too often get in the away of other special units. Sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council, they went to many hotspots in the world, undermining dictators, bringing down powerful and influential mafia bosses, disrupting major drug trading cartels, recovering stolen WMDs, stopping religious cults and terrorists groups and operating in no-go zones such as Sudan's Darfour region.

But that was for now far from the couple's minds, and most probably from the minds of their fellow team members. They were all off to enjoy their own kinds of vacations. Striker decided to treat Phoenix and take her to Kenya for a safari.

Striker put one arm around her and hugged her closer.

Striker:"Ja. So peaceful. Our last mission was very taxing on our systems."

Phoenix put her paw on his rump and rubbing it, making Striker take a sudden deep breath.

Phoenix:"Especially our more intimate systems."

Striker chuckles, then nuzzled her head. Her hair, he noted, smelled really nice.

Striker:"I agree. How about we retire as soon as we finish our tea?"

Phoenix:"Sure, Strikie."

They snuggled a bit closer, sipping on their tea and listening. They listened to the sounds of their crackling fire, the roaring of lions and other nocturnal predators and the crickets and insects that called the Serengeti their home.

After a while they finish up their tea. They wash the cups down with a little water and then put their things away. They then put their arms around each, staring into each other's eyes lovingly.

Phoenix:"Shall we tuck in?"

Striker:"Oh ja."

They leant forward and gave each other a long French kiss. They played with each other's tongue, murring softly and paying little notice to their world around them. They hugged tighter, pressing their bodies close. Phoenix's breasts pressed up against Striker's heaving chest.

Suddenly the bushes around them rustled loudly. The couple quickly broke the kiss and turned to look all around them. Running into the light of their campfire appeared a group of five little men holding something in their hands.

At that moment, the couple realized that these were not men. They had bodies half their own sizes, had grey skin with no clothing, skinny bodies and appendages and large heads with big black eyes and small mouths. Each held a device that looked chillingly like guns.

The couple looked around them in alarm.

Phoenix:"Striker! What are they? Tribesman?"

Striker:"Ai yai yai, Phoenix! These are not Africans. In fact, they look more like extra-terrestrials. Aliens."

Phoenix:"A-aliens?"

Phoenix moved closer to Striker, while he protectively put his arms around her. They looked at the little grey aliens, growling at them.

Striker:"Who are you? What do you want?"

One of the aliens stepped forward, lowered his gun and held out a small device in his other hand. It stared at it for a moment, then looked at the furry couple and began to speak.

The language he chose to speak to them was Mandarin Chinese.

Phoenix stared in confusion at the speaking alien.

Phoenix:"The aliens speak Japanese?"

Striker:"Eintlik, Mandarin Chinese, Love. I think these aliens might be confused by all the languages on our world."

Striker leaned forward to the alien and pointed at his muzzle as he spoke.

Striker:"English... speak English."

The alien apparently stared in confusion at Striker, and then looked back at his device. After a few moments, he looked up and spoke again, this time in French.

Striker shook his head and tried again.

Striker:"Nee! Not French! English. I speak English. English is the language that I am speaking from my mouth."

Again the alien turned back to his device, then looked back to speak.

Striker frowned and shook his head when the alien spoke in Arabic. Phoenix, despite the danger they were in, could not help but giggle a little.

One of the other aliens walked to up the first and spoke to it. Their language was a strange form of chattering mixed with clicking noises. The first alien pointed at the device and then gestured at the couple. The second one spoke again, then the first replied in a short sentence. Then the second one started to chatter and gesture as if in irritation. It then grabbed the device from the first alien and turned to the couple.

The alien looked at the device, then looked up to Striker. He began to speak.

Alien:"You big uglies take to ship we take. No take we shoot."

Striker and Phoenix stared at the alien, then turned to each other. Phoenix was looking somewhat worried.

Phoenix:"What do we do now, Strikie?"

Striker:"We had better do what they say. They have us surrounded and our rifles are in the back of the Land Rover."

Phoenix:"Are we going to overpower them later and escape? We are bigger than they are."

Striker:"Ja, but later. Right now we should go with them and see what they want with us. We can then work out our escape."

Phoenix:"Okay. I just hope they are not going to do anything bad to us."

Striker nodded. He turned back to the second alien.

Striker:"You take us to ship. We go with you."

The second alien checked his device, then chattered out loudly at the others. The two aliens behind them nudges the couple forward with their guns while the others lead the way from the camp. Striker and Phoenix followed them, keeping close to each other.

---

The couple kept close to each, climb over the rocks and keeping behind the leading aliens, who seemed to know their way in the dark. Behind them the other two aliens kept up with them, never letting their guard down.

As they walked, the aliens chattered to each and made gestures. Striker and Phoenix could make out a few of the gestures, but most of it and the chattering made no sense to them. All they could do was follow and listen.

It did not take long for them to go around the large rocky outcropping to the side opposite from where they had made camp. When they came across a particularly large boulder, they caught sight of something that proved that these creatures were aliens.

A saucer, not unlike the ones they had seen in the movies, was parked at the foot of the hill. It hovered in place, with no legs or landing gear keeping it up from the ground. There was no visible signs of cockpit windows or doorways they could see on it.

The couple stared in amazement at the saucer.

Phoenix:"Wow. A real flying saucer. So these are aliens after all."

Striker:"Ja... Ai yai yai."

The two aliens behind them chattered loudly and poked the furries with their guns. Phoenix gave a soft yip, then she and Striker took each other's paw. They followed the aliens down the rocks to the ship.

As they approached the ship, a hatch opened on the underside of the ship and lowered down onto the ground to make a ramp. The three leadings aliens walked up into the ship. Striker and Phoenix stood at the bottom of the ramp, looking uneasy into the opening. The two aliens behind them nudged and chattered again. The couple then hesitantly got onto the ramp and climbed into the ship.

The interior of the ship was a smooth, circular room with seamless walls and various contraptions about that Striker deduced were the flight computers. All around them there were cockpit windows that looked outward that they did not see before outside. The two deduced they must have been similar to the two-way mirrors found in interrogation rooms in police stations. Behind them the two aliens went to their computers, leaving the first three to guard them. The ramp folded up and closed with a sound and the seams disappearing so that there was no sign of it being there before.

A minute later they heard a soft, humming noise coming from somewhere inside the ship.

Striker:"That must be the engine."

Phoenix:"Awfully quiet. Do you think its nuclear powered?"

Striker:"Maybe, I..."

Suddenly, through the cockpit windows, the ground quickly disappears and the saucer flies out through the clouds straight into outer space. It happened so fast that it momentarily surprised and disorientated the couple. The aliens, on the other hand, were chattering to each other as if it was commonplace.

Which it probably was anyway, thought Striker.

Very soon they saw them approach another saucer. This one was much larger than the one they were in. Striker looked at Phoenix and held her paw.

Striker:"That must be their mothership. Be on your guard."

Phoenix squeezed his paw back.

Phoenix:"I will, Strikie."

The two of them turned their attention back to the large saucer ship as they moved in underneath it.

---

Din and Til piloted their saucer to their science ship while Sif, Lik and Bir guarded their captured specimens. They were all relieved at their successful and quick capture.

Sif:"I'm glad we did not have to stay long on that stinking waste pot. There air there is stinky with their pollution."

Lik:"I agree the air there is not very fresh. The humans tend to release their smoke straight into the air rather than refine and clean it."

Sif shook his head in disgust.

Sif:"Yuck! I'll be glad we finally can destroy these humans and clean that world up. I would hate to have to do work there with all that stink."

Bir, however, was looking up down at the two earth creatures with suspicion. They did not look like the ones he saw on the earth specimen database entry for humans. He stopped and turned to Lik.

Bir:"Lik, are you sure these..."

Before he could finish, there was a distinctive clicking noise as the saucer attached to the science ship's docking magnets. The operation was done smoothly enough so that there no shuddering in the saucer itself.

Din turned to them.

Din:"Lock procedure in place."

Sif turned to Din and Til.

Sif:"Good. Activate the umbilical."

Din, Til:"Proceeding."

In the ceiling, a circular hatchway opened up into the science ship. Directly below, the umbilical pad folded out from the floor and activated. A haze of anti-gravitation particles began to float from the pad up through the hatch to its counterpart in the science ship. Din and Til got up and turned to the others.

Til:"Umbilical ready."

Sif:"Good. You and Din can get these two specimens into the umbilical and make sure they do not panic."

Til and Din were not pleased at the idea.

Din:"Why must we always be the ones to get these beasts into the umbilical? Can't Lik and Bir do it this time?"

Sif:"Because you two are trained for this! Now do as you are order."

Til and Din sigh as Sif steps into the hazy particles. He quickly rose up through the air into the science ship. As Lik stepped in, he noticed that the two specimens' eyes had gone wider as they looked at the umbilical. He looked at Til and Din.

Lik:"Make sure you get them slowly and separately into the umbilical. They look like they might bolt."

Til and Din just nodded as Lik rose up into the ship. Bir followed suit and went in the same way. As soon as Bir was in the ship, Til and Din poked their guns against the specimens.

Din:"Move, you big uglies!"

Til:"Move it!"

The two specimens hesitantly approached the umbilical and stopped. But before Til and Din nudged them again, the specimens held each other and stepped in. They rose up to the ship, looking rather bewildered but not making a sound.

Til and Din looked satisfied at each other.

Din:"At least these specimens don't panic. That makes an excellent change from the other specimens. Like that brijlik."

Til:"Yes, and we did not even have to touch them. Come on."

Til stepped into the umbilical and went up, followed then by Din. As soon as Din went into the science ship, the hatch closed and the umbilical pad folded away.

---

Captain Jid, the commanding alien officer in charge of the science ship, stood and waited in the umbilical bay for his crew. He watched as the umbilical system was activated. First up came Sif, then Lik and Bir. The captain welcomed them all back aboard.

Jid:"Welcome back, crew. Was your mission successful?"

Sif:"See for yourself, captain."

Lik and Bir stood on either side of the umbilical hatch, their sub-atomic rifles ready. The next month the two specimens appeared. Lik motioned them out of the field and onto the deck. The specimens, who had held each, now let go of each other.

Jid walked up to the two and looked them up and down as Til and Din joined the rest on the deck before closing the hatch.

Jid:"Are you certain these are... humans, they are called?"

Sif and Lik nodded at their captain.

Lik:"Two human specimens. As ordered."

Jid reached out and tugged at the strange fabric on the one creature's leg.

Jid:"What is this?"

Lik:"My studies have shown that these creatures use these fabrics to protect their bodies. It is a kind of very weak armor. Our rifles can easily cut through them."

Jid rubbed the fabric, feeling it is a little rough. He then let go and looked at Sif, pointing at the specimens.

Jid:"Get them to remove the armor. We need to see what they look like and prepare them for the experimentations."

Sif:"Yes, captain."

Sif looked at his Universal Language Translator, which had the files for earth languages loaded, and searched for the one called "English". It simply baffled him why these creatures had over 10,000 different languages instead of one.

He spoke to the two specimens in their language. The language was a blowing of air through the lips mixed with humming and loud puffs of wind. Sif found it difficult to speak this strange language, but his message seemed to have gotten through.

The two specimens looked at each other. The lighter orange one said something to the one with the more red/orange one, which was shaking its head and putting its arms around itself while making loud wind puffs in reply. The first one spoke again with some gestures, then the second released a soft wind of air before speaking back.

The specimens began to move their claws over the armor and undo what the aliens assumed were molding points. It took a short while before the two specimens had removed all but three pieces of armor. The light orange one had a midsection armor on while the red/orange one had a small midsection piece of armor and another on its chest.

Jid:"Why are they not removing those pieces? Tell them to remove it or we will fire."

Sif spoke again in the creatures' language. The two creatures looked at each other, then removed the last three pieces from their bodies. They added it to the pile of armor they left and stood up. The specimens looked strangely uneasy.

Probably since they now had no protection against their weaponry, thought Jid.

Jid stepped closer, now examining the two creatures in full. He looked at their legs, then reached out and grabbed the light orange one's left leg. He felt hair under his hand and quickly pulled it away.

Jid:"These creatures have hair all over their bodies!"

Lik:"But of course humans have hair. There are part of the species called mammals. They all have hair like this."

Bir, however, still looked with suspicion at the specimens.

Bir:"I thought humans only had them on certain parts. These two have them all over."

Lik:"Do not be incompetent. My studies of humans are completely correct."

Bir was not convinced. Til stepped up to the red/orange specimen and pointed at a furry appendage sticking out from their lower backs.

Til:"What are these? I thought this was part of their armor, but it actually seems to be part their bodies."

Lik and Bir stepped over to the other side and looked at the appendages.

Lik:"Not to worry. Many mammals have these. They are called 'tails'."

Bir:"But humans do not have tails! Not the ones I've seen."

Bir reached out, grabbed the light orange one's tail, and tugged it. The specimen's tail pulled away and the specimen moved away a bit as well.

Lik:"Therein is your problem, Bir. You have only seen a few images of humans, so you might have missed those who had tails."

Captain Jid looked between the two specimens and began to notice significant differences in their bodies.

Jid:"Sif and Lik. These two specimens do not look the same to me."

Sif and Lik walked over to Jid and joined him as he pointed at the specimens.

Jid:"Look. The specimen on the left has that sack between his legs and his chest is flat. The other..."

He pointed at the other one.

Jid:"...seems to have a hole in the place of the sack and it's chest has two large swellings."

Sif shook his head.

Sif:"Do not be concerned, captain. These humans come in two different shapes. You are mearly seeing an example of each of those shapes."

Lik:"Besides, captain, I might have to note: those areas you pointed out are the places where the Jelfis can attach or enter to attack these creatures."

Captain Jid rubbed his small chin.

Jid:"Really? On those areas?"

Lik:"Yes, and two more openings between their legs and on their heads for the Jelfis' tendrils to administer the sedative liquids. These two are also the finest and healthiest examples of their race, so we can see the Jelfis' performance and how it overpowers their best."

Bir:"I am still not sure about these two..."

Jid:"Oh never mind that. These two are close enough to being humans. Have them put into the test chamber, fill it with burizium fluid and release the Jelfis."

Lik raised a finger as he spoke again.

Lik:"Captain, these specimens do not survive really well in burizium."

Captain Jid turned to Lik in surprise.

Jid:"What do you mean? These specimens live on a world which half it's landmass is underneath water. And water is the same as burizium."

Lik:"True, captain, but these specimens have stayed far too long on the dry land that there is. Their lungs cannot extract enough oxygen molecules from the water."

Jid:"But how are we supposed to put them in with the Jelfis? The Jelfis need the fluids for survival, since their combat suit systems are not yet in operation."

Lik:"I have thought on that problem, and I had developed a solution: oxygenized water. It is a fluid that contains oxygen molecules for these two specimens to absorb from and allow the Jelfis to survive. Results have proven very satisfying and I can assure you, captain, that both the specimens and Jelfis will easily last a good length of time in the fluids. More than long enough for us to complete the experiments."

Captain Jid had become very satisfied by what Lik had told him. He rubbed his chin again, then nodded and pointed at the two specimens.

Jid:"That is excellent! Have these two specimens put into the chamber and begin the experiments."

The aliens all saluted, though Bir still looked dubious about the whole affair. Nonetheless, he helped the others as they led the two specimens out of the bay.

As they left, Jid looked at the pile of fabric armor removed from the specimens. He reached out and felt them again. After a few moments, he shuddered and let go of them.

Jid:"These ugly creature's armor simply feel awful. I will destroy them immediately."

Jid turned to a hatch in the wall and opened it. He then quickly picked up the pile and carried it to the hatch. He put it in and closed the hatch. Just before he closed the hatch, flames could be seen appearing inside the small chamber beyond the hatch. He then turned away and walked out of the bay area as well.

---

Striker and Phoenix worked hard to keep calm as they lifted up from the smaller ship into what appeared to be a loading bay of the larger mothership. They stepped out of the field that had brought them up. Behind them, the two aliens who had remained behind also came up. They kept their weapons aimed at them.

The five aliens spoke to a sixth alien whom the couple had seen the first time on the deck. The alien chattered with each other, regularly looking at them. The sixth one then walked up and looked them both from top to bottom. The two assumed that he was checking to make sure that they had brought the right ones from their world.

Phoenix watched as the sixth alien reached out and tugged at her pants leg. She kept still, watching as it apparently studies it, rubbing its fingers on the fabric. It then let go and chattered to the alien who had the communication device.

The alien with the device checked it, then looked up at them before speaking.

Alien:"Clothing armor remove now."

Striker and Phoenix quickly looked at each. Phoenix very shocked, while Striker couldn't really hide his own surprise. But he knew what they were in.

Striker:"He will have to take off our clothing."

Phoenix quickly put her arms around herself, feeling very embarrassed at the idea of taking off her clothing for these aliens.

Phoenix:"What! No way! I am NOT undressing for the perverted pleasures of some voyuer grey aliens!"

Striker held up his paws up in a calming sort of way.

Striker:"Calm down, Phoenix. I'm certain they only want us to remove all our clothing except our underwear."

Of course he was definitely not certain about it, but he needed to calm Phoenix down in light of their situation. It seemed to work. Phoenix released a deep sigh.

Phoenix:"All right. I guess I can live with that."

The couple began to undress. They undid the buttons and pulled the zippers of their clothing. Striker took off his two shirts and slid down his pants. He put it a pile, leaving him wearing only blue boxer shorts. Phoenix took off her shirts and pants as well, adding them to Striker's pile. She stood there wearing only some small lace bra and panties.

The sixth alien looked to the one with the device and chattered again. A few moments later the other alien spoke to them again.

Alien:"Clothing armor remove now or be dead."

Striker and Phoenix looked at each again in even more shock and surprise. They stared at each, realizing that they did not have any real choice left in the matter. They sighed softly. Striker reached down and pulled his shorts down his legs. He lifted each leg out of the shorts, and then put it on the pile. Phoenix undid her bra and pulled it off to expose her well-rounded and firm breasts. She then reached down and removed her panties as well. She finally added her clothing to the pile.

The couple stood a bit closer, not trying to hide their bodies in case of getting the aliens upset. Striker and in particular Phoenix felt extremely uncomfortable. Striker's body was muscular enough to look good but not so much as a bodybuilder, while Phoenix's body had the looks fitting of a Playboy cover girl. But their attention was too focused on what might happen next.

The sixth alien stepped up to Striker and reached to tug at his fur. It quickly jerked back its hand. Obviously it did not like dog hair, thought Striker.

The aliens began to chattered for a while, moving this way and that as they further examined the two furries. At one point Striker got startled a bit when he felt one of the aliens tug his tail. He jerked away, and feared the aliens might be provoked by his sudden movement.

The alien continues to talk and gesture at the couple. After what felt like an eternity, the sixth alien said something to the others. The aliens responded and began to nudge the two towards the room's exit.

Not wanting to go walking through the ship naked but having no way of getting their clothes, Striker and Phoenix followed them. They kept close to each other as they went into the mothership.

---

Striker and Phoenix followed the aliens down a curved corridor that, they thought, followed the circular shape of the ship. They looked around for a means of escape, but the corridor was completely empty with no windows, hatches or anything recognizable.

They eventually stopped. Striker and Phoenix caught see nothing here. No door or hatchway. But as the leading aliens walked towards the inner wall, the wall slid open without a sound.

Striker leaned over to whisper to Phoenix.

Striker:"Must be motion detectors that open these doors."

Phoenix:"Like at a supermarket, but they probably only open to these aliens."

Striker:"Ja, and there doesn't appear to be any seams where this door was."

The aliens behind them nudged them forward. The couple followed them through the doorway into another similar-looking corridor. As they went on the doorway slid close, leaving no sign there was a door.

They had barely gone a few feet when the leading aliens stopped and turned to the left. Another door slid open on the wall.

The leading aliens stepped aside and pointed at the open doorway. Striker examined the open doorway, then looked at Phoenix.

Striker:"I suppose we should go in first."

Phoenix:"You first, please."

Striker nodded, then cautiously stepped through the doorway, followed closely behind by Phoenix. The alien remained standing outside of the doorway, watch them go in.

---

Striker and Phoenix entered a circular room of a few feet in diameter. The wall curved down into the floor and ceiling, making the interior look rounded and leaving no corner inside. Although it was well lit, there were no visible light sources on the ceiling, walls or floor.

The couple looked around, then Phoenix saw the door slide closed. Startled, she ran over and felt for the door, but all she could feel was the smooth metal surface. Striker came over to her.

Striker:"We have been locked in."

Phoenix:"What are they planning to do with us?"

Striker put a reassuring paw on her shoulder, moving closer to her.

Striker:"Calm down. They do not look like they meant to harm us. Kom, sit down."

Phoenix sat down with Striker on the floor and snuggled up against him. The metal floor felt cool but not too cold underneath their furry butts. The air was also wildly warm and smelled very fresh. She began to feel a little more secure. She looked down on the floor, then noticed, as her eyes passed near Striker, that the pinkish color of Striker's cock was beginning to poke out from his sheath.

She giggled and looked up at him.

Phoenix:"Calming down, Strikie?"

Striker looked over at her, slight surprised.

Striker:"Ja, I am. How did you...?"

To answer, she pointed down to his privates. He looked down and saw that his malehood was starting to grow, slowly but surely. He chuckled, feeling somewhat embarrassed by his uncontrollable gesture.

Striker:"Ai yai yai. Sorry... Maybe not the regte time for this..."

Phoenix couldn't help but laugh a little and have her tail wag a bit. She reached down behind Striker's back to his rump, then gave him a good pinch. Striker yipped out loudly, though it did not echo against the walls. Striker looked at her with a friendly stern look and a grin.

Striker:"Naughty little firefly, are we?"

He reached down to her own behind and returned the favor. She yipped and jump a little, then giggled and gave Striker and hug. He smiled and hugged her back.

Phoenix:"Thanks, Strikie. It may seem weird to do this while being by aliens, but it does help me calm my nerves and make me feel better. Thanks, Love."

Striker:"Dankie to you too, Phoenix. I am feeling calmer as well."

The two of them snuggled closer, and then Phoenix closed her eyes and began to murr softly.

Phoenix:"Oooo... I am feeling a little moist down there..."

She giggled, and Striker smiled. When he looked down to her nether regions, however, his smile quickly disappeared and his eyed widened in surprise.

Striker:"That moistness is not coming from you, Phoenix! This chamber is flooding!"

Phoenix's eyes fly open and the two of them stand up quickly. Water dripped down from their furry butts down to the pool of water that had formed on the bottom of the room. The water was rising rapidly and there was no sign as to where it was coming from. Very quickly the water was at their knees.

Striker quickly looked at Phoenix.

Striker:"We have to find a way out! Quickly!"

Phoenix:"No kidding!"

Striker and Phoenix frantically looked around the chamber for a switch or panel to open a door or a way to stop the flow of water. However, they found nothing and by then the water level had risen above their private parts to midway up their bellies. They began to search even more desperately, but after a few moments the water level had reach their shoulders and they could begin feel the sensation of floating.

The two swam to each in the middle of the chamber, which was almost filled to the ceiling. Phoenix was almost in a panic and Striker almost just as concerned.

Phoenix:"These aliens are going to drown us!"

Striker:"We have to keep their heads above water and hope they will give us some means to breathe!"

They kept their heads above the water, but the water level had reached the point where Striker and Phoenix could touch the ceiling. In desperation, they banged against the ceiling, but their pounding did created only a dull, muffled thump noise.

Their heads touched the ceiling, with no sign of the water level stopping from reaching it as well.

Striker:"Take a deep breath! Nou!"

They quickly filled their lungs with air. Seconds later the water level reached the ceiling, leaving the chamber completely flood with not a single air pocket. Striker and Phoenix floated about in the water, their cheeks bulging with air and looking around for some sign of air from the aliens' ship.

It was Phoenix who noticed first that something was not right about the water. First off, no air bubbles were visible. And none came out their nostrils despite the fact that they had not pinched it shut. She puckered her lips and opened them just to release some air. Nothing came out and she opened her muzzle a bit wider to take in some water. Again, no air bubbles even though she had some water in her mouth already.

Suddenly, the water flowed back down her throat and for a moment, she gagged. She open her muzzle and felt the water going in and down into her throat.

Her eyes widened. The water did not only go towards her stomach, but also towards her lungs. And yet she could feel her lungs filling with fresh air. She could not understand it until she realized what her taste buds on her tongue told her: the water tastes to nothing. Much like...

Air.

No longer able to hold back her curiosity, Phoenix took a deep breath of the "water". Striker's eyes widened in shock at the sight. He swam over, grabbed her by the arms and quickly put his muzzle over hers. He quickly gave her some of his air, but Phoenix quickly broke the kiss-of-life and looked at Striker.

Phoenix:"Strikie, wait!"

The fact that words came out of her mouth underwater and both could actually hear it, surprised both of them. Striker stared at her for a few moments, then opened his muzzle to let out the air and the water in.

Striker:"Phoenix..."

The two of them took a deep breath, then released their newfound source of oxygen. Then they both sighed a deep sigh of relief and look at each other. They smiled in relief.

Phoenix:"Woo. Those aliens sure have many surprises. I just wish they would tell us about it beforehand."

Striker:"Ja, but at least we can relax again until they try something else."

Phoenix:"I just hope they give us some warning next time."

Phoenix did a cartwheel in the water, then swam to the edge of the chamber. She admired the way she was able to swim without drowning.

Phoenix:"This is actually fun. I wish we had breathable water back on earth."

She looked to Striker, grinning slightly.

Phoenix:"Then we would not need diving equipment while skinny diving."

Striker blushed again. The both of them were enthusiastic of outdoor activities, and one of them included scuba diving without any clothing. This almost always resulted in them yiffing underwater. And the other activities were pretty much slight variations on the skinny diving as well.

Striker swam over to Phoenix, who swam around him in a circle. She then grabbed his furry and floppy ears, which, like her hair, were floating about in the water, and pulled his lips to hers. Striker was a bit startled, but he liked the kiss and returned the favor.

When they broke the kiss, Striker was smiling slightly at Phoenix.

Striker:"Calming nerves again, Phoenix?"

Phoenix laughed and smiled back at Striker. She then put her arms around Striker and gave him a hug. He put his arms around her and returned the hug. The both of them floated back down to the chamber floor, keeping their arms around each other.

In the laboratory next to the chamber, the aliens were monitoring the specimens and operating the functions of the chamber. The laboratory had many strange alien equipment about along with touch-screen computer systems. Even though the chamber was enclosed, the aliens could see the interior of it and the chamber next door via a holographic projection.

On the holographic projection, they could see the two specimens run and feel the walls where the chamber doors had closed, then sat down on the floor huddled together.

Sif shook his head at the specimens' behavior.

Sif:"Look at how scared they are. We will easily be able to conquer this world if they are all like these two."

Captain Jid nodded, rubbing his chin as he examined how the creatures were cowering in fear against the side of the test chamber they were in. Lik, who was at the computer which gave various readings from the sensors inside the chamber, looked over to Bir, who was at the computer which controlled the functions of the test chambers.

Lik:"Flood the chamber."

Bir glanced back to Lik with a bit of doubt.

Bir:"Are you certain that the specimens will survive in the same liquid as we have in the Jelfis' chamber?"

Lik:"I am certain. We had this liquid tested with other mammal specimens from earth and they survived."

Bir:"Those other mammals were less the size of my hands."

Lik:"Trust me. It will work."

Bir still remained dubious, but did his work anyway. His boney finger touched a symbol on the screen of his computer. It gave off a quick beep, followed by a message written in their language. Moments, the oxygenated water was being pumped into the chamber through millions of pores in the floor.

The aliens watched and carefully monitored as the two specimens tried to escape from the chamber, which was quickly being flooded. Til and Din were particularly amused by the panicked movements of the captives.

Til:"Pathetic creatures. See how they are panicking."

Din:"All too easily. They are not the least bit threatening."

After a short time the chamber was flooded to capacity. The specimens inside at first tried to retain the oxygen they had breathed in. But after a few minutes the red/orange specimen discovered the oxygen properties of the liquid, who then helped the other discover it. Lik looked satisfied as the specimens adapted to the liquid, then turned to Bir.

Lik:"You see? My observations and calculations proved correct."

Bir:"This time."

Captain Jid rubbed his chin again as he watched the two specimens began to swim about in the chamber.

Jid:"The specimens are quick to adapt to changing environments."

Sif:"Indeed, captain. But more often they tend to change the environment to suit their own adaptations. Destroying forests, pollution the waters and air and building large, dirty cities."

Jid snorted and shook his head at the destructive nature of these creatures. He then looked at Lik.

Jid:"Where is the Jelfis?"

Lik looked down on a screen for the chamber that held the Jelfis, scanned the readings and then turned back to Jid.

Lik:"Very healthy and also adapting well to the oxygenated liquid. Shall I open the way between the chambers?"

Jid:"Yes. The sooner we complete the experiments the sooner we can return home."

Lik:"Yes, captain."

Lik turned to Bir.

Lik:"Unlock the connection between the chambers."

Bir shook his head as he turned to his control computer.

Bir:"I have not good feelings about this experiment."

Nonetheless, Bir's fingers touched the screen's buttons. There was a short beep. Moments later another chamber appeared on the holographic project right next to the one that held the specimens. A doorway began to fold open between the two chambers.

---

The sound of a door opening in the chamber brought Striker and Phoenix's attention back to their current situation. They let go of each other and swam up, looking curiously to the side of the chamber which had slid open.

They could see on the other chamber just the one they were in, with smooth, curved metallic walls and ceiling. But it was what was inside the second chamber that quickly caught their full attention.

The creature inside was large, almost twice as big as either of the couple. The top part of it consists of a curved shell-like body that was wide at the front and got thinner to the back. Underneath that was the real body of the creature, a large jelly-like sac that expanded and contracted as the creature was breathing. Two rods that looked like the front eyestalks of a snail peered this way and that. Underneath from the sac hang a mass of 20 or so tentacles that were floating about lazily in the water.

Striker and Phoenix stared in amazement and slight surprise at the creature in the next chamber, watching it felt its way about its prison with its tentacles and eyestalks in a lazy-like manner.

Phoenix:"Oh my. Look at that thing. Some kind of alien jellyfish."

Striker:"Ja. That body looks like it has a shell to protect the softer underside and the tentacles..."

At that point something clicked in the couple's minds. They turned and stared at each other, the look in their eyes and on their faces telling them what they both realized.

Striker:"Phoenix, I think we are going to be yiffed by that creature's tentacles."

Phoenix:"That explains we were stripped naked before being put in here."

Striker:"And why this chamber filled with water. That creature probably cannot survive without it."

The couple looked back at the creature, known to the aliens as the Jelfis. It had discovered the opening between the chambers and was making its way slowly into Striker and Phoenix's chambers. Its tentacles felt around lazily along the metal surface as it explored the new surroundings.

After a few moments, Phoenix shrugged her shoulders.

Phoenix:"Oh well. Might as well play along with the creature."

Striker quickly looked at her in surprise.

Striker:"Allow that creature to yiff us?"

Phoenix glanced at Striker and nodded.

Phoenix:"Yeah, I mean we and that thing are obviously here for just that one reason. There seems to be no way out and those aliens might try something nasty if we avoid it. Besides, we have had sex with dozens of tentacles of various kinds. Why worry about one more."

She had made a good case there, thought Striker. The two of them had been yiffed by the vines of various plants, several odd creatures, escaped laboratory experiments and deep sea denizens. So far, none of the experiences were far from enjoyable.

Striker glanced at the approaching Jelfis, then back at Phoenix.

Striker:"I am still not sure about it."

Phoenix folded her arms and smirked at him.

Phoenix:"You? Not sure? Well, you can stay here and not be sure while I go play with our new guest. Besides, the evidence between your legs shows you'll be joining me very soon."

She playfully pushed away from him and swam for the Jelfis. Despite his doubts, Striker could not deny that Phoenix was right. He also wanted to join in on the fun with Phoenix, and his cock growing from out of his sheath pretty much said it all.

He sighed and chuckled, then swam right after Phoenix as she was approaching the Jelfis.

The Jelfis noticed Phoenix coming close. Some of its tentacles reached out to her and began to stroke on her body. Phoenix giggled as she felt the strange sensation of the tentacles running up her arms, legs and tummy. She yipped and shuddered a bit when one of the tentacles glided over her femalehood.

One of the Jelfis' eyestalks looked up and down at Phoenix, the tentacles still touching and feeling the female Pomeranian. After a few moments it recognized her as one of the creatures that the aliens had taught it to attack, subdue and drain. Instantly it went into a more aggressive mode of thinking.

Moving with surprising speed and agility, the Jelfis quickly used six of its tentacles to grab hold of Phoenix. She yelped with surprise, watching the tentacles quickly wrap around her lower legs, her lower arms, around her belly and her neck. She was then moved into a position where her legs were lifted into a squatting position and spread to more expose her two tunnel openings.

Phoenix giggled, waiting in anticipation for what was to come next. The tentacles holding were very firm, but they were not squeezing the life out of her. She then noticed three more tentacles approach her. They looked like the ones holding her, but the ones holding her had solid, blunt tips. These tentacles has tips with what looked like slits in them. As those tentacles began to approach her head and thigh, she knew what was coming next. Her tail swished in the water as she grinning wickedly.

Phoenix:"Oooo. You want purchase, do you? Well, go right ahead."

Sure enough, one of the tentacles moved towards her mouth while the other two glided up to her private region. She squealed a bit as she felt the cold touch of the tentacles' tips against her pussy lips and the ring of her anus. The tips began to wiggle against her opens in trying to get into her. The tentacle at her pussy was able to quickly slide in. The one at her tail had to wiggle a bit longer until her muscles relaxed just enough for it to squeeze it.

Phoenix yelped out from the sensation of being double penetrated, and this gave the tentacle near her head the chance. It quickly darted into her open mouth and wiggled its way to right up against her throat. Phoenix gagged a bit, but soon the tentacle settled in against the contours of her muzzle.

As she adjusted to the tentacle in her mouth and the ones wiggling and squirming up her holes, she heard Striker's yelp of pleasure to her left. She turned her head as much as the tentacle around her neck allowed to look at him.

Striker had swam up to thee Jelfis and again it felt over his body with its tentacles. He yelped when one tentacles rubbed over his malehood, which was growing rapidly in length. Identifying Striker as another target, again it quickly grabbed him. Tentacles wrapped around Striker in the same places as with Phoenix and moved him into the same position as she was. All the while the Jelfis had one eyestalk looking at him at all times.

Two tipped tentacles moved towards him. Striker had seen the ones go for Phoenix and knew exactly what to do. He opened his mouth, while he tried to relax the muscles of own tailhole.

The first tentacle went into his open muzzle and lodged itself like with Phoenix. As Striker closed his mouth around the tentacle, the other moved between his legs and wiggled its tip against his anus. This time it was able to more easily wiggle in. Striker's sudden yelp was muffled by the tentacle, and he could try to relax his ass muscles while the tentacle wiggled and squirmed deeper into him.

The couple felt the tentacles inside them wiggle and squirm to, what they thought, get comfortable. The next moment they tasted another, cold liquid coming from the tentacles in their mouths flow down their throats. They gagged a little, but then began to swallow it more easily. Moving their tongues along the tentacles their taste buds sensed the strange, salty taste of the liquid. Though it was not very sweet, it did not taste bad, either.

Striker and Phoenix's bodies then stiffened a little when they felt a cold liquid began to flow into their lower holes. The flow then turned into a flood and they both felt their insides expand as the liquid filled them up. Their bodies shuddered from the sensation. However, they also began to feel a little drowzy and weak in the muscles as their bodies absorbed the strange liquid.

They closed their eyes and let their bodies relax, though not going entirely limp or weak. Half their minds were asleep, but the other half was still awake. They were, however, focused entirely on the pleasure the two received.

The Jelfis sensed that the sedative drug it had introduced into the victim's bodies had made them unable to fight or resist. It brought forward the last four tentacles with which it planned to use to drain its victims of vital fluids for its own consumption. These tentacles had tips, which could open up and latch onto the organs where the creature had been taught to go for.

The first time Striker and Phoenix sensed the four tentacles, was only when they attached to the sensitive parts of their bodies. Phoenix felt two suction cup-like tendrils latch onto each of her breasts, sucking hard and attaching themselves firmly to her. Striker felt the one tentacle slide over and attach to his testicles, sucking hard and pulling it from his groin. The other slid over his erect penis and clamped down on it as well. This was allowed followed by a steady and strong suction over their organs.

Striker and Phoenix's yelps and yips of pleasure were muffled by the tentacles and liquid in their mouths. They then began to murr, surrendering their bodies completely to the Jelfis as it began the process of draining their body fluids.

---

In the laboratory the aliens had turned their attention to the holographic projection of the test chambers. They watched the Jelfis creep into the chamber and how the two specimens approached it.

Jid:"They do not seem to fear the Jelfis."

Sif:"They are too stupid to see how dangerous it is. And my research has shown they are curious to the point of stupidity in any case."

Jid:"Ah, I see."

The Jelfis felt and examined the specimens, then quickly took hold of both of them. All the aliens except Bir watched in satisfaction as the Jelfis' training began to show results. It worked to constrain the specimens, then it entered their bodies to inject the sedative drug into them.

They all saw the two specimens go limp, the drug obviously having worked.

Lik:"There. Now that they are paralyzed completely the Jelfis can now remove their vital fluids from their bodies."

While all the other aliens nodded, clearly pleased at the workings of years of genetic engineering, Bir was looking down the screens that have off the readings of the organs of the two specimens. He scratched his head, trying figure out the readings he saw.

And meantime the Jelfis had attached the suction tendril onto specific parts of the specimens bodies and latched tightly to them.

Lik:"There. It has attached to their pain nerve centers where it can remove their life liquids."

Jid was looking more and more pleased at the sights he saw.

Jid:"This is looking very promising. Our research plans might now finally bring true results!"

All the other aliens, except Bir, nodded their satisfaction.

---

Striker and Phoenix were completely held in a pleasure thrall by the Jelfis, which continued to fill their holes and suckle on their private parts. Already some of the liquid, which had a purple/blue color, had begun to leak from the furries' openings to float about in the chamber.

The sensations were beginning to bring the two close to orgasm. Striker's cock began to leak out precum, which could seen being sucked up by the tentacle over it. Meanwhile, the first drops of milk began to come out the tits of Phoenix's breasts as the suction on them continued. It, too, was sucked towards the creature.

The Jelfis took the fluids into its system and began to absorb it. However, the fluids it tasted was not that which it had been trained to absorb. The one fluid tasted very sweet, while the other had a pleasant, salty taste to it. The Jelfis had never tasted such kinds of fluids and found it tasted much better. It began to suck harder and thrusts its tendrils faster into its captives, trying to entice more of the fluids to come out.

Striker and Phoenix, feeling the stronger suction and faster thrusts, could not longer contain themselves. Striker was the first to orgasm, his body shuddering and his howls of pleasure muffled by the tentacle in his muzzle. His length throbbed as it spurted out semen. The tentacle over his shaft quickly sucked it up, the semen seen traveling towards the Jelfis. Phoenix was next. She also shuddered and howled as she hit her pleasure peak. The muscles of her pussy and ass clenched hard on the tentacles inside, while her breasts were now released much more of its milk. The milk made the tentacles that suckled on Phoenix's breasts look slightly white.

The Jelfis eagerly sucked up the fluids, greatly enjoying the sweet and salty tastes. It's primitive mind was becoming drugged by the new sensations caused by the taste of the fluids. It began to loose coherence as well consciousness as it concentrated on the enjoyment of the fluids it drained from the two captives. It's grip on them began to loosen and its suction and thrusting were also decreasing in strength and speed.

---

The aliens watched as the two specimens shuddered violently and their vital fluids left their bodies to be absorbed by the Jelfis. They also observed the Jelfis' reactions, seeing it increase the pressure on the specimens.

Sif:"It is working. The Jelfis is draining the specimens' body fluids and absorbing it to make itself stronger. See how they are growing weaker and dying."

Bir was looking suspiciously at the two specimens' reactions and convulsions.

Bir:"They do not look like they are dying to me."

Lik:"Of course they were. See how they are no longer struggling and how their fluids are going to the Jelfis."

Jid nodded in satisfaction and turned to the other aliens.

Jid:"Our research has proven fruitful. The Jelfis is able to absorb the mammals' fluids for itself with no side-effects to itself. I can now make my report to the Space King that his new weapon is a complete success. I am sure he shall reward our efforts well."

Lik, Sif, Til and Din began to shake each other's hands in congratulations as Jid left the laboratory. Bir, however, had gone to another terminal and began to make a search of the ship's records on Earth's biology. He opened the files on their known knowledge of the mammals inhabiting the planet.

The next moment Din began to call out in alarm, pointing towards the hologram.

Din:"Look! Something is wrong with the Jelfis!"

Lik, Sif and Til quickly turned to look at the hologram, while Bir's attention was still focused on the terminal screen in front of him. On the hologram the aliens watched as the Jelfis swayed left and right, appearing to be intoxicated. It's tendrils that were holding to began to uncurl from the two specimens' bodies. The suction tendrils on them unlatched one by one while the ones inside them injecting the sedative drug slowly began to slid out. As this happened, the specimens began to regain movement.

Sif looked between Lik, Til and Din as the two specimens were finally freed and swam to the opposite side of the chamber, while the Jelfis collapsed onto the floor in a drunken sleep.

Sif:"What happened?! The specimens are still alive, and very alive to me as well! And now the Jelfis has fallen!"

Lik:"I... I do not know. The Jelfis drained the specimens vital fluids and was to become stronger. Everything was proceeding as we had calculated."

Til:"Perhaps the specimens had a disease?"

Din:"No, they did not. We had made sure the specimens were free of disease. And the Jelfis was immunized against all the known diseases on Earth."

Suddenly Bir sprang up and dashed over to the others, looking specifically at Lik.

Bir:"The Universal Language Translator! I think I might know what has gone wrong!"

Lik, without hesitation, quickly pulled out the ULT and held it out to Bir. Bir took the device, activated it and then went over to the holographic projection unit.

---

It did not take long for Striker and Phoenix to recover their senses from the effects of the sedatives pumped into them by the Jelfis and their recent orgasm. The more they began to realize their situation again, the more the Jelfis' tentacles began to release and slide out of their bodies. They murred softly from the sensation of the tentacles being pulled out of them.

Once the Jelfis had released them, Striker motioned to Phoenix to follow him. She nodded and followed Striker as they swam to the opposite side of the chamber. There they gathered and turned to look at the creature. It had slumped into a drunken sleep against the wall of the chamber, dozing.

They watched the creature for a few moments, then Phoenix moved up against Striker and rested her head on his shoulder.

Phoenix:"Seems our friend there has exhausted itself on us."

Striker:"Ja, he had. I am feeling a little tender here and there."

Phoenix nodded. Like Striker felt at his tailhole and privates, she felt the muscles around her own openings and her tits were still somewhat sensitive. The excess blue fluids leaked from their holes to float about them.

Phoenix:"At least it was a whole lot more pleasant than the stories I've seen on TV about alien abductions. I wonder if our little grey friends have finished their studies, or can we expected even more such experiments."

A holographic image of one of the aliens suddenly appeared in the middle of chamber. The couple immediately swam into an upright position, their attention focused on the alien.

Striker:"I think our little friend here is about tell us."

The alien looked to the couple and turned to face them. It held what appeared to be one of the devices they had seen the aliens hold when they talked to them.

The alien quickly checked the device in its hands, then looked up at the couple and gestured to them.

Alien:"You two screw."

Striker and Phoenix looked at each other in surprise, then back at the alien. The alien, clearly becoming even more anxious, pointed at them more prominently.

Alien:"Screw! Now!"

The couple looked at one another again. After a few moments, Striker shrugged his shoulders.

Striker:"They had already seen us yiff with that creature..."

Phoenix:"You're right. Besides..."

She grinned mischievously.

Phoenix:"... at least we won't pass out like our friend over there."

Striker chuckled, then looked at the alien and nodded. The alien appeared to become a little satisfied, but still it appeared to Striker that it was anxious. The holographic image fuzzed and disappeared a moment later.

Striker swam against the chamber wall with his back, then slid down with his legs spread out on the floor. He looked up at Phoenix with a grin.

Striker:"Come and sit in my lap, Firefly. Let's show these aliens how we on earth do it."

Phoenix could not help but laugh, then she swam to him. She turned her back to him, then slowly drifted down to his lap. Striker reached up and took hold of her butt cheeks in each paw. She yipped as he squeezed them, then he helped her down into his lap.

She spread her legs over his own so that her love tunnel was completely exposed. Striker's long length, still fully erect, slid between her buttocks over to the lips of her vagina. She reached down with one paw and spread her lips to accept his rod. As she did, more of the blue liquid leaked from her pussy. She moved her hips a big, adjusting her position, then pushed down. Striker's cock slid neatly into her awaiting, thanks to lubrication the blue fluid gave.

Both furries gave quick gasps as the sensations of pleasure they felt with the tentacles returned again. Striker put his paws on Phoenix's hips and pushed her down on his rod. Phoenix then reached back and put her arms around Striker's neck. She lifted herself up, his cock sliding out with the blue fluid now covering it. Striker pushed her back down, feeling her pussy muscles rub against his still-sensitive rod. The two of them began to work in tandem, Striker pushing her down while Phoenix pulled herself up, simulating the pumping motion as they made love.

They started slowly, but each time his cock slid into her, they increased the speed and strength each time. The couple murred then yelped in pleasure as the sensations from their stimulated pleasure points increased. Phoenix bounced up and down more and more, her floating hair gliding along and her breasts floating up and down like two buoys. She released one arm around Striker and reached down. She took her exposed clit between her fingertips and began to rub, hoping to bring herself to orgasm with her lover.

It did not take long. Striker hit his peak first, howling out loudly while his body shuddered in shocks of pleasure. His throbbing canine cock squirted out its load into Phoenix's pussy, mingling with the blue fluid and leaking out to float about in the alien water.

Phoenix, pushed over by the sudden filling of her inner tunnel, howled along as she orgasmed moments later. Her vaginal muscles squeezed hard on Striker's rod, milking it of its juices. Her body shuddered with pleasure against Striker's own. She reached up with her free arm and wrapped it again around his head.

The couple panted as their bodies relax and their orgasms faded away. After a few moments, Phoenix reached out and took hold of Striker's floating ears. She began to stroke them slowly, feeling his fur. Striker smiled slightly, then began to nuzzle Phoenix's neck while his paws rubbed her legs. She start to murr, enjoying the after play the two furries did with one another.

In another, unseen room, however, there was a much less calmer situation.

---

Sif, Lik, Til and Din stared at the two specimens intertwined with one another on the holographic projector. Bir, still holding the Universal Language Translator, looked at the others with a sense of both vindication and disbelief.

Bir:"I knew these specimens were the wrong ones."

Sif:"But... but, the one specimen gave his vital fluids to the other... what is going on?"

Bir:"Simple. These 'vital fluids' are not the ones they really have. It is the wrong colour."

Lik:"Then what color is it?"

Bir went over the terminal he had worked, closely followed by the other aliens. He touched some of the buttons on the screen to bring up an image of what appeared to be red cells as seen through a microscope. Bir pointed at the screen while looking at the others.

Bir:"That colour."

Din:"But that is not the color of the fluid we just saw."

Til:"Or what the Jelfis absorbed."

Sif looked sternly at Bir, eager to find out what had gone wrong.

Sif:"Bir! What is this white fluid that came from the specimens, then?"

Bir turned fully to them, while pushing more buttons on the screen.

Bir:"The fluid you just saw is part of the process mammals to do this..."

The screen brought up an image: an aerial photo taken of some humans on the edge of the ocean doing activities completely strange to the aliens. Bir pushed another button, upon which the image zoomed to a group of humans. Two of the humans were fully grown, but two of them were much smaller and seemed underdeveloped.

Lik examined the image, then looked dubiously at Bir.

Lik:"What is so special? All I see are two mammals with two smaller ones."

Bir:"Those smaller ones still need to grow to full size, Lik. They are still in the early stages of growth."

Din:"Wait. You mean the mammals do not use flesh vats?"

Bir shook his head in disappointment at his colleague's limited thinking.

Bir:"Of course not. Think for a moment, Din. These creatures are primitive compared to our kind. They lack the technology to grow others of their kind in flesh vats. That is what that white fluid is for. The one mammal gives it to another, who then uses it to grow another of its kind inside of it. After about half of an orbit of this world, the mammal ejects the new offspring, which then develops further on its own. This process..."

Bir indicated to the holographic image of the specimens together.

Bir:"... of transferring the fluids is not painful, but, unbelievable as it seems, actually ENJOYABLE to the creatures. It is one of the activities that they engage very commonly and with great eagerness."

The other four alien stared at each as realization dawned on them.

Lik:"But... that means they would have enjoyed it when the Jelfis drained them of the fluids..."

Bir:"It is highly probably."

Sif:"And if the Jelfis is rendered unconscious by this fluid..."

A shock hit the four aliens as everything fell together with a loud clank in their alien minds.

Til:"Our invasion of this world will be a catastrophe! These mammals will easily destroy the Jelfis and not suffer a single casualty!"

Lik:"We must tell the captain!"

Another sickening shock struck Sif.

Sif:"Skin of a muglar! The captain is to tell the Space King that the Jelfis is ready to be mass produced for the invasion! We must stop him and tell him what we had just found out!"

The four aliens dashed frantically out of the room, barely waiting for the door to slide open. Bir shook his head and turned to look at the two specimens, who were still connected to one another.

---

The Space King was looking very pleased on screen as captain Jid told him of their success with the Jelfis experiments. He gave details of the process, how the Jelfis subdued and drained the specimens of their vital fluids. When he had finished, the Space King was very excited. So excited, that the large ruby crown on his head slipped off to the right the side of his head.

Space King:"That is an excellent report! I am truly pleased that the Jelfis project has achieved the results I desired."

Jid breathed a silent sigh of relief as he listened to the Space King on the communication screen in the ship's pilot control room. The Space King had warned them that if this latest experiments of the Jelfis did not turn out well, he would have the ship's entire crew imprisoned, tortured and killed.

At least that fate was now avoided, he thought.

Jid:"Indeed, your Highness. What are your further orders?"

The Space King wasted no time in deciding, for he had long decided on what to do even before the experimental results were given to him.

Space King:"Return back to the home world and join in the preparations, captain Jid. I will send out the orders to being the growth of more Jelfis, the manufacture of their armor and preparing the fleet to transport them to this world called..."

The Space King scratched his head as he tried to remember what the name of the planet was they were going to invade. Jid decided to help him.

Jid:"Earth, your Highness?"

Space King:"Yes, Earth! Soon we shall launch the invasion of this pathetic little world. The big uglies who dwell on this planet, which is rightfully mine, shall fall before the power of the Jelfis! And thanks to your efforts and that of your crew, this is now possible. Once you return, I shall reward you all personally."

Captain Jid saluted, pleased by what he had heard.

Jid:"Your wishes shall be done, O Space King!"

Space King:"Excellent! Now carry out your orders!"

Jid:"Yes, your Highness! Your will shall be done!"

The screen immediately went blank as the Space King cut the communications link. As this happened, Sif, Lik, Din and Til rushed into the pilot room through the open doorway and up to captain Jid. Jid turned to them, still pleased with what the Space King told him.

Jid:"Ah, Sif. And Lik, Din and Til. I am glad your joined me. I have excellent news."

Sif's insides twisted into a knot.

Sif:"Have you... reported to the Space King, captain?"

Jid:"Just now. He is very pleased with my report on the success of our experiments with the Jelfis. He has begun giving the orders to begin preparing the fleet for the invasion of Earth."

Lik:"But..."

Jid:"We are to return home as soon as possible to be richly rewarded and to join in the preparations."

Sif:"But..."

Jid:"It fortunate that the experiments succeeded. The Space King told me he would have has us tortured and killed had the experiments failed, but now there is no fear of that happening now."

The four other aliens could only stare at Jid, their faces blank and a sick feeling in their stomachs from what they had heard.

Jid:"Was there something your wished to tell me?"

Sif, ever the quick thinker, immediately composed himself and replied back.

Sif:"Er... Yes. We would like to know what we are to do with the specimens now that the experiments are... completed."

Jid thought for a moment, then came up with an idea.

Jid:"If they are still alive, take them in the saucer back to where you found them. They can begin spreading the word of what fate is in store for their kind when we unleash the Jelfis upon them in the invasion."

Sif quickly saluted, while Lik, Til and Din watched Sif in astonishment.

Sif:"It shall be done, captain!"

Jid:"Good. Carry out your orders. And once you have disposed of the specimens, prepare the ship for departure back to our home world. I will begin preparing a detailed report for the Space King."

Sif:"Yes, Captain!"

Lik tried to say something, but Sif quickly elbowed him into silence. He then lead the others out of the pilot room while Captain Jid began working at his terminal preparing the report on the experiments.

Bir stood about inside the laboratory, watching the holographic projector. The two specimens inside were still intertwined with one another, but now they had apparently fall asleep as far as Bir could determine. The Jelfis, meanwhile, had recovered sufficiently for Bir to have it crawl back to its chamber.

Bir turned his head as he heard the other aliens come into the laboratory. Lik was arguing to Sif while Til and Din just followed them.

Lik:"But we must tell the Space King the truth! Our invasion will be doomed if we don't!"

Sif:"And will you be the one to tell the Space King that his favorite project, which HE personally thought out in the first place, is a failure? I do not want to suffered a horrible, slow death."

Lik tried to reply, but he could not find a good answer to what Sif had said.

Sif:"I knew you valued your head."

Bir:"I take it you could stop the captain in time?"

Sif looked at Bir and nodded.

Sif:"Afraid so. How is the Jelfis and the two specimens?"

Bir:"Right it seems the two specimens are sleeping, but of course I am not certain. The Jelfis managed to recover enough from it's stupor for me to move it back into it's chamber."

Sif:"So it is not dead?"

Bir shook his head. Sif sighed with obvious relief.

Sif:"That is good. Now we can cover up this horrible mistake."

Bir:"How do we do that?"

Sif:"Simple. The four of you will take those two specimens and dump them where we had found them earlier. Then, should the invasion fail later on, we will blame the captain for writing a false report and that he had failed to pay heed to our warnings earlier. The Space King will kill him and spare our skins."

Lik was shocked by this plan of Sif's.

Lik:"That is treason! You cannot blame the captain!"

Sif turned in annoyance to Lik and poked him in the chest with one finger as fired back his reply.

Sif:"Really? Well then the four of us will then also blame you for causing the experiment to fail. The more scapebocs the better."

Lik was immediately silenced into submission by the realization that the others could also turn against him as well. He just kept silent as Sif turned to the others.

Sif:"Bir, Din, Lik and Til! You four take the two specimens and get rid of them!"

Bir shrugged and lead the way as Din, Til and Lik followed him out to gather the two specimens still inside the test chamber.

Darkness had enveloped the Serengeti, but the night sky above was the clear and the full moon provided enough light for the eyes that adjusted to the dark. The sounds of nocturnal insects and animals filled the night.

The camp fire which Striker and Phoenix had made by their Land Rover had now burned down to a few glowing cinders. However, a new source of light illuminated the camping area. A strong beam of light shone down from the alien's smaller saucer hovering directly above the camp.

Striker and Phoenix, still naked and hugging each other tightly, were beamed down in the same manner as they were transferred from the smaller saucer to the larger one earlier. They touched down on the ground, stumbling a bit as they landed roughly on the ground.

They looked up. The hatch through which they had been lowered back to Earth closed and the beam of light was cut off, hiding the camp again in darkness. The couple tried to adjust their eyes to the sudden darkness, but by the time they could see, the saucer was no longer in the night sky above them.

They kept staring at the night sky for a while. Then they turned their attention back to each and their camp.

Phoenix:"That was quite an experience, Strikie."

Striker nodded, looking around at their camp.

Striker:"They were kind enough to leave us back here at our camp. Let me go get some firewood and restart our fire again."

Phoenix:"Meanwhile, I'll see if I can find some spare clothes. At least I wish the aliens could have given the clothes we wore back."

The two of them began to work. Striker went into the bush to get some wood for the fire, while Phoenix rummaged around in the back of the Land Rover, searching amongst their luggage for something to cover up their stark nudity. After a few minutes Striker came back with loose bark and sticks and a few logs. He put it on top of the burning embers, then worked to start the fire. He got a small fire going thanks to some flint that was left lying next to the fire.

Phoenix came back wearing her pink bikini and carrying Striker's blue swimming trunks. She held it out to Striker, who took it and began to put it up to cover himself a bit.

Striker:"Dankie, Firefly."

Phoenix nodded, knowing that "dankie" meant "thank you".

Phoenix:"The best I could do, Strikie. Now how about we cuddle up in the back of the Land Rover in my sleeping bag?"

Striker looked up at her with one eyebrow raised suspiciously.

Striker:"Only your sleeping bag?"

Phoenix giggled and smiled mischievously at Striker.

Phoenix:"Of course. I need something, or someone, warm to cuddle with tonight. And of course to help me relax. I am rather stressed by our little ordeal."

Striker grinned. He knew Phoenix was probably not stressed, but he thought it might help to cuddle just to keep warm. And help build a little more intimacy.

He got up and took Phoenix's paw in his, looking into her eyes with a smile.

Striker:"Ja, I am feeling a little stressed myself. Shall we?"

Phoenix laughed softly, then she and Striker walked towards the Land Rover to tuck in for the night. Their fire now grew in size and crackled pleasantly, illuminating their camp in the light of its flames.

It was six months later, at the beach near the city of Los Angeles on the West Coast of the United States. Summer had returned to the northern hemisphere and many of the city's people have gone to the beach to soak in the sun or swim in the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean. Lifeguards kept watch at the beachgoers to ensure that things went smoothly.

Tanya was among the many who went to the beach. She was a black-haired girl in her early twenties and wore a pink bikini and rollerblades as he skated along on the sidewalks of the roads running along the beach. She had a good tan and a body that was good enough to look at by the men she passed.

She enjoyed rollerblading along the beaches. A fitness fanatic, she did this every day just after attending her morning gymnastics classes. She also enjoyed the attention she got from the men, knowing that she has their approval of how well she kept herself in shape.

She then remembered that she had to be back home to get dressed for a party a friend of hers in Malibu was throwing to celebrate the...

The object fell almost right in front of her on the sidewalk with a terrific blast that knocked Tanya down. The impact sent pieces of tarmac and sidewalk flying through the air, while a car that was parked next to the sidewalk was partially crushed. People nearly the object were, like Tanya, also knocked off their feet.

Tanya quickly got up to stare at what it was that fell. It a large, silver ball that was partially burned on the one side. She knew enough about space that she realized the burnt parts were due to the heat of re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. But what was the object? It did not appear to be part of any satellite she knew.

She moved closer along with several other bystanders who now crowed around the object. The spectacular crash of the ball had caught the attention of pretty much everyone on the beach and roads. One of the lifeguard ran over to help those who were knocked down.

Tanya was the person closest to the ball, so she was first to see part of the ball begin to fold open. Mesmerized, she rolled closer to the ball to see what would come out.

The next moment, a bunch of tentacles came out of the opening in the ball and hoisted itself out. Tanya's eyes widened in suspense and awe as the next moment a giant creature rose up from the ball. It appeared to be some kind of jellyfish creature, it's body enclosed around some kind of high-tech armor. Eyestalks protruding from the armor looked about, apparently checking its surroundings, while its tentacles hung in a lazy manner from beneath the body.

There were gasps and screams among the crowd from the sudden appearance of the massive creature, but Tanya, always curious and fascinated of stories about aliens. She rolled closer, ignoring warnings from people in the crowd.

The creature's eyes noticed her coming closer and the creature turned towards her. It's tentacles reached out to Tanya with a speed she did not think possible.

She could barely react before the creature's tentacles had wrapped around her arms, legs and waist and hoisted her into her air, bringing her closer. While people around her screamed in terror, Tanya kept still, watched, and waited to see what the alien will do to her. Its other tentacles began to reach for her as well.

Tanya's attention was so focused on the Jelfis, that she did not eager the roaring sounds that drew the attention of the crowd around her. The people looked to the sky, their attention now drawn away from the Jelfis holding Tanya.

In skies above, streaks of fire could be seen in all directions as more of the capsules carrying armored Jelfis rained down upon the world from the alien ships in orbit around Earth.

The invasion of Earth had begun...
