#30 of Entropy Series

The gang pulls off their final heist and catches a few surprises along the way.

This is sort of a milestone for me. I never thought hit, much less surpass, the length of an epic novel. With this entry, I'm right there at 159,137 words, or in commission terms $1909.64 USD. I never believed in myself enough to consider such a feat a possibility, and here I am striding beyond my goal. That is in no small part thanks to you guys, the fans and critics fueling my progress. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I realize another symbolic milestone is the international symbol of debauchery, 'XXX'. Yes this is part thirty, but I felt it was a strangely special occasion so I threw in a bit of extra fun above what was originally planned. I was skeptical of changing my story to cater to the more adult crowd, but honestly I see the events in this chapter actually improving things more than not. I hope everyone walks away from this iteration with something they enjoy.

As always, this story contains adult content and explicit sexual imagery. If you aren't allowed or don't wish to view such material, please stop reading immediately. To all the rest, enjoy! Comments and critiques are welcome and encouraged.

EDIT: I found out the hard way that the new writing system doesn't like the standard 'new line' characters my text editor uses when copy-pasting. I'll find a way around it but for now I've fixed the spacing between scenes. Sorry guys!


"As much as I'm enjoying the view--" Huddled inside an air duct behind her fiance, Robyn paused her progress forward to watch the taut rump in front of her. "--and oh, do I ever--we need to figure out where we're headed. My legs are going numb."

"Yeah, sorry about that. Didn't expect these things to be so long and complex." Ilaria paused to adjust her bow around her shoulder. "What I wouldn't give for a lighter right now."

"A what? How's that?"

Ari looked back underneath her shoulder with a strange smirk and did her best action movie impression. "Come out to the coast... We'll get together, have a few laughs..."

Robyn laughed at the joke but quickly found herself staring at Ari holding a finger to her lips. "Sorry, Ottah. Forgot where we are."

"Yeah, well I shouldn't be clowning around either. Oh! I think I see another vent. Heads up and muzzle shut." The otter shuffled forward another meter to a corner junction in the ductwork where she found her vent closure, peeking out to get a feel for her location. "Don't spot any guards or anything. I see a big metal door on the far wall too. That sound like we're getting closer, miss engineer?"

"Are there any placards or labels?"

"Just that radiation one again. It's a big metal door though." Ilaria gave the vent a chill with her nanites as she prepared to freeze the bolts that held it in place. "We've been in these damned air pipes too long. I'm taking a look."

"Ottah, wait--" Before her protest could be made Robyn watched her favorite otter elbow out the metal grille and slip out of sight. "Fine, I'll just stay here then." Ari's paw snaked back into the duct at the comment, soon pulling Robyn free of her tight confines.

"Don't say I don't do nuthin' for ya'. Come on, time's not our friend today."

"Gladly, but give me a moment, yeah?" Robyn took in their surroundings with a slow spin. "Metal pipes and junctions... regulator valves... then that door of yours. Oi, that's just the same radiation leak light as the rest, not a marking."

"Well do you know where we are or not?"

"Water routing room. Should be two of these but they'd be close to our chamber." The squirrel made her way over to the door and checked a maintenance manifest clipboard attached to the wall. "Yep, 'Water Flow Control #02' sounds close enough. The enrichment chamber is..." Robyn pulled a few pages up until she saw the back of the clipboard, a fire escape route map printed on the bottom half. "...first door down the stairs outside. Jackpot."

"That's good. Won't have to worry about bumping into anyone I hope." Ari pulled the handle to the door and peeked outside. "Coast is clear. Just in case though... Oh, there you are. Sprite, care to scout ahead?"

Robyn moved out the way as the fairy fluttered past her. "Guess that's smart, sending her out." She took another look at the clipboard map and faced back to her fiance. "The chamber's shielded but we aren't, so we'll need to go a few rooms down for suits. The hatch to the chamber's probably a security door too so one of us needs to work the controls."

Ilaria pulled out her nanite hair clips and morphed them into her glasses so she could check on Sprite's progress. "You know more about these systems so you can take the locks. The suits are gonna be a problem though."

<Mistress, radiation protection is only necessary for Miss Winchester. Cellular wall degradation from ionized radiation repairs rapidly with our sisters' aid.>

"Oh, that's... well, not ideal but handy I guess." Ari turned to a confused Robyn and explained her position on the matter. "Sorry. Sprite says I can take radiation just fine. Think we can get by without suits? Might reduce our chances of getting caught, y'know?"

"Well, the security systems all tend to be outside hazard zones... Sure, maybe. I'll have to check the room."

<Personnel have left the vicinity, Mistress. Time to next interception-- 00h : 00m : 32s>

"Oh! Robby, move it. We've got thirty to get there."

"Crikey, we gotta shuffle." Robyn pulled at the door and slipped out into the hall, getting her bearings as Ari stepped out behind her. Once the door was closed and secured they both jogged forward a few dozen yards. "Here, these stairs. Make sure you close the this door or someone might catch on."

After the two scurried inside Ari pulled the door shut with a huff, barely catching the heavy latch before it managed to make a sound. "Shit, that's a rush."

"Good on ya', Ottah." Robyn made her way over to a console and walked her claws along the controls. "Okay, looks fine from here. There's-- Oh, a fresh batch of seed went in yesterday." She tapped a few keys and toggled a switch, pointing to an inner doorway that automatically hissed open. "You sure you're able to handle this? It's soaked to about a hundred rads per meter in there."

"That's bad I take it. Sprite?"

<These levels are within physical threshold, Mistress. Respiratory limits will be surpassed in approximately-- 00h : 14m : 23s. Caution is advised.>

Ari pulled off her glasses and formed them back into hair accessories. "Fourteen minutes should be overkill. What am I looking for in there, Pillow?"

"There's probably rods in the ground panels, surrounded in coolant--water probably. The water's hot stuff so try not to touch it." Robyn reached out and pulled on Gungnir's drawstring. "Drop anything you care about here first. No electronics for sure, and anything organic will hold particles. Oh, and you'll need something to carry one of those rods..."

Ilaria tapped one of her glowing hair clips. "I think I can manage. Here, take my phone. Sprite, you keep an eye out in the hallway and text Robyn if anyone's closing on this room. Got it?"

The fairy girl fluttered to the hallway door and oozed through the cracks, sending a confirmation to the phone when she was ready. <Operational area secure.>

"I'll roll the airlock once you're in there. When you're done, there's a switch or button in there to tell me I need to cycle it back." Robyn took each of Ilaria's discarded belongings one by one and placed them gently on the top of her console. Eventually Ari was down to just her jeans and tee-shirt and about to enter the chamber when Robyn stopped her for a soft kiss. "Be careful, Ilaria."

"You got it, Robyn." Ari jumped into the airlock and pulled the door shut. "I'll be back in a flash. Five minutes, then you do what you can to flush the place and get me. Okay?" A very worried squirrel nodded back through the small porthole of the door. "Good. Hit the switch."

The doors clacked for a pawful of seconds as the locks settled in the opposite direction. When the other end was finished the door popped open just like before, Ilaria pushing the heavy hinge wide open so she could work easier. The chamber itself dripped with warm, humid death. Taking a solid breath Ari made her way out into the blue-lit room and found exactly what Robyn had described. A pool of water held an assembly of cylindrical rods on a motorized gantry. The fuel source for enriching the material in the rods was nowhere noticeable, which meant the coolant pool itself probably did that job.

Ilaria reached out and pulled one of the rods, groaning for a few pulls until she was forced to give up. The assembly was fastened tightly, likely requiring the mechanisms to be actuated a particular way to release the rods. She found a few hardy buttons and read the labels, then toggled the first and third in order. Suddenly the gantry lifted and rotated in place, surprising Ilaria and making her loose her footing enough that she risked falling into the coolant. She recovered by clinging to the assembly itself as it spun and nearly fell again as it suddenly halted all motion. By the time Ari had stood back up the machine had already pushed a single rod up and out of the gantry, awaiting collection.

The rod quickly received a thin coating of nanites before Ilaria cautiously tapped the top surface. Satisfied that her flesh wasn't going to melt off, she yanked the silver rod free and hauled it over to the airlock door. Unexpectedly out of breath from the weight of the metal rod she huffed and puffed just to shut the inner door.

"Okay, three or four minutes. Not bad. Now that switch..." Ilaria checked the small airlock all over for a control box, eventually finding the buttons Robyn described on each of the doors by their handles. She gave it a press and waited a moment, then gave it another press. After a few frantic jabs against the switch she then tried hammering the one on the other door, her patience slipping into fear. "Robyn!? Hey, open the door!"

Within a few seconds the locks started to cycle, this time a hissing sound filling the airlock as fresh air filled it. Then the outer door unlocked and popped open revealing a crying squirrel on the other end. "S-Sorry Ottah... Someone c-came and I--"

"It's alright, Robyn. It's alright." Ari placed her payload against the nearby wall and embraced her fiance. "We can get out of here now. There's nothing to be scared of."

"But they had guns!" Robyn squeezed back with all she had and then forced Ilaria away. "Get your garb in a jiffy so we can bugger the hell out of here. I nearly carked it a minute ago."

"Uh... Right." Ari quickly clipped her belongings back where they originally rested and then went for the heavy rod. "Let's get going before they come back. My brother's got to be dying out there by now."

"Back the way we came?"

"Yeah, unless you've got a better plan."

"No, I mean... They went that direction so it's not safe."

Ilaria took out her phone and went for the hallway door, peeking out so she could whisper to her wispy friend. "Hey Sprite? Is the path we took to get here clear?"

<Five unknown subjects currently occupy Water Flow Control #02. Subjects are heavily armed and are observed to be handling explosive compounds. Alternative exit strategies are recommended, Mistress.>

"Shit. Fucking shit." Ilaria turned to Robyn, sighed, and shoved the door wide open. "I think those assholes followed us here. I thought we lost them earlier but--"

"You mean ~them~? You takin' the piss?"

"You're goin' hardcore Kiwi on me, hon. Calm down. Maybe we can leave the way they came in without them noticing." Ari held the door open long enough for Robyn to get over her basic fear and start following. Once they were up the stairs Ari checked and indeed heard voices coming from their point of entry. Then she spotted every security door in the hallway hanging wide open in the opposite direction. "They broke through all the doors. That's our ticket out."

"What the hell do these guys even want?"

Leading Robyn by the paw with the fuel rod over her shoulder Ari speculated, "They don't just want me if they're here with explosives. Maybe they're really intent on getting us in trouble? I mean, blowing up a building's a bit too far for that but they're fucking crazy so..." As the three hit a dead end they found a severely wounded man on the ground, apparently shot full of holes if the shell casings on the floor had anything to do with it. "You alright, Robby?"

"Y-Yeah. Just get me out of here."

Ilaria knew she wasn't quite telling the truth, a tremble passing through their grip. "Look, that door's ajar. This way." She led her squirrel through the door into an office of some kind, revealing the origin of the other intruders. They slowed down a bit as they crunched over broken glass to inspect a slew of rappelling ropes near busted full-pane windows. "Kind of 'em to leave the ropes. That's our ticket out of here. You good to climb down, Robyn?"

"You kidding? I was about to jump." Robyn stepped forward and picked up a rope, pulling it taut to the top of the window. "Just toss that Thorium down before you go. I'll try to catch--GURK!"

Suddenly a very familiar, large paw reached out from behind a nearby desk and latched around Robyn's neck. "Miss me, bitch?" The liger of Ilaria's nightmares grinned back as he held Robyn off the ground and breathless.

Ilaria didn't hesitate this time around. She reached for Mjolnir, trained it on the scumbag, and cocked back the revolver's hammer. "Let her go, fucker."

Adem pulled Robyn in front of himself as a fleshy shield and slowly made his way forward. "Tsk, tsk. Wouldn't want to shoot your girlfriend now, would you?" He pulled out a set of handcuffs and tossed them on the floor. "So why don't you just slip into those and we can all get out of here."

Cuffs? Why would this asshole even bother at this point, especially when his buddies were rigging the building? Ilaria shuffled around the liger, eventually finding a good position to kick the cuffs out the broken windows. "Fuck that. Drop her and I won't shoot you in the fucking face."

"Knew it. That's a hundred you owe me, kid." Adem's words didn't make much sense until he pressed against his ear to adjust an ear-bud of some kind. He definitely wasn't working with amateurs. "Tell you what? I'll give you to the count of three before--"

BANG!

Ilaria shot her gun at the ground in front of the two and pointed it right at the liger's smug face. "I said fuck that. Next one's in your skull."

"Like I have time for this shit..." Suddenly Adem lunged forward, chucking Robyn out the window at the last moment and replacing her with Ilaria.

"Oh ~shit~!!" He grabbed Ari by the shoulder and took her out the window with his momentum, though the landing ended up separating the two again as they rolled away at differing angles. When all was said and done, there was a generous smattering of safety glass coating the three as they picked themselves up and onto their hindpaws.

"You look sexy behind that thing, you know."

Iolvin cracked his neck sideways and then adjusted his position, laying prone on his stomach. "At this rate I'll get buff just holding her this long."

"Her? So you even gave her a name?" Adrian slumped on the ground with a huff of air. "I think I might be jealous."

"Really?" Yoyo chuckled as he pulled the target of the joke up to his shoulder, a ridiculously large rifle that Dee and his sister had been building. "Well let me put that to rest before you smack her with an appliance."

"Hey, that's not fair."

"Sorry, babe. Didn't mean it that way." Gripping the handle as well as the top of the bolt tightly, Yoyo slipped his eye in front of the side-mounted scope of the rifle. "For the record, Lulu's the one that decided to name her. Julietta. So can you get your cute butt over here and help me?"

"Oh, right. Forgot I was on binocular duty." Dee scooted over and peeked his binocs through a bit of brush. "Just pray we don't need to use that thing-- err, ~her~."

"Well I can't blame Lulu for wanting some extra protection, not after the way we found her last time."

"You mean that liger guy she keeps talking about? She really thinks he's chasing her?"

Iolvin popped his head free to adjust his bi-pod height. "As crazy as it sounds, she's made sense so far. That and... I just feel she's right."

"Twin thing, gotcha." Dee swept his magnified view across the area below, their position on a low ridge barely providing a clear view of the nuclear power station they'd chosen to rob. "Sometimes I wish Ellie and I were like that."

"What are you talking about? You two get along great."

"Yeah, for the most part. There's just something you guys have that we're missing, thou--" Dee snapped his binocs back a bit and squinted through them. "Crap. Look at the third building, left side."

Yoyo did just that, angling Julietta and pressing his eye up to the side sight. "The round one? Oh, I--" Swallowing hard, Yoyo made a final adjustment with his shoulder and reached for Julietta's slide to prime her for fire. "Something's going on down there but I can't see. You have better zoom?"

"Me? No way. Yours is tons better than these five-dollar specials."

"Fuck." Iolvin pulled the slide and finished cycling Julie's bolt, immediately fussing with the magnification and focus of her scope afterwards. "If I can't see what I'm shooting I'm not pulling the trigger. I'm not having my own sister's death on my paws."

"Well... can't we just put these in front of your sight or something?" Dee waved his binoculars over and offered them for use.

Yoyo shook his head and squinted, hoping he could find the right eye placement to clarify the scene. "Light doesn't work that way, babe. We'd need a floating... lens..."

"Well give me a sec and I'll break these--"

Iolvin thought about the way his sister could fashion tools out of her excess nanites and an idea came to mind. He relaxed his eye and tried to calm himself down. "Dee, just keep an eye on things. I'm working on it." He imagined one of his lens filters for his camera and suddenly a pink replica appeared on the end of his scope. It had no purpose at first, but as he thought about how he needed to change the incoming light Yoyo eventually clarified the image and even started to enlarge it. "Bingo. We're in business. Babe, where'd they go?"

Dee audibly struggled with his own lenses until Iolvin got the hint, creating a similar set of modifications for the binoculars as well. "Thanks. Let's see... Ropes... I think they got in from the roof. But didn't they--?"

"Yeah, they went in from down low. Ari told me herself before we lost signal."

"So those are from other people? Who the hell would follow them?"

"A liger and two drakes, apparently. And speak of the devil." Hiding behind a desk like a coward, the liger was inspecting the ends of the fast-action ropes that were dangling into the windows of the offices.

"That's him? Damn, he's built like a house." Dee pulled a branch of his bush to the side and regained his line of sight. "You think they're okay in there?"

"Lulu's smart enough to avoid 'em, yeah. If they broke in that way they'd have made some noise. At the least I'd think Sprite would have picked up on--"

"No! They're coming out!"

"Shit. Shit-shit-shit-shit." Yoyo watched helplessly as Robyn was grabbed. "Get her out of there, sis. I can't take a shot."

As Robyn was chucked out the window and the others lunged together, Dee dropped his binoculars and began crying. "They're... Oh gods!"

"No, wait." Ilaria and the liger stood back up, and soon Robyn was lifted by a paw to her wrist in what had to be a painful position. "Dee, I need you to calm down and look for an opening. That bastard's going down."

"You're going to kill him? I thought the gun was more for show than--"

«Yoyo?! Tell me you can hear this!»

"Hey, I heard that this time."

"Dee, not now." Yoyo placed his sights on the liger's shoulder, unable to fire without risking the bullet dropping into Robyn on accident. «Lulu, we're here and we see you. I can't get a shot since I don't know how this gun fires.»

Ari pulled out her bow and nocked an arrow, pulling it tight to face the liger. «How far away are you?»

«Four, maybe five hundred yards from--»

«Just shoot! Julie doesn't drop at all until two klicks!»

Iolvin hardened his stance and evacuated all air from his lungs in an attempt to steady his tricky shot. He had to aim in a gap of about a foot above Robyn's head to leave her unharmed and he had to be sure things went to plan. «Alright, here I g--»

«Don't forget to hit the switch under the scope. Hurry, brother! He's... gods!»

Spying the liger's free paw slipping beneath Robyn's blouse Yoyo kicked into high gear and searched for the switch. He hit the toggle and heard a humming sound buzz from the muzzle of the rifle. «Get ready, Lulu.»

"Is he...?"

"Not for long." Yoyo took another breath and exhaled it slowly, waiting until the bottom of his lungs to pull the trigger. With a powerful -choock!- Julietta launched a heavy slug with what appeared to be raw lightning, traveling probably just as fast. Before Yoyo could reflexively blink his eyes he spotted a pink mist coming from the liger's shoulder or upper chest, his final confirmation having to wait as he re-aligned the scope with his eyes after the entire weapon nearly jumped past his shoulder due to the immense recoil. "The fuck did you put in this thing?!"

"Railgun." Adrian mumbled while staring through his binocs, as if the word would mean anything to the very unscientific otter.

Yoyo regained control of Julie and checked the damage, lining up the lenses just in time to spot his twin sister take a shot of her own. An arrow expertly sailed into the liger's other shoulder, dropping him limply to the ground to land on his side. «Fuck, that was close.» Ari grabbed something off the ground on her way to Robyn--likely her gun by the way she placed it in the small of her lower back--and helped the squirrel limp over to an odd orange pipe on the ground. «Yoyo, get Ellie. Tell her to start the car and meet us at the gate.»

«Wait, are you two alright? Did we get what we needed?»

«I have it here,» Ilaria mentioned as she picked up the pipe and threw it over her free shoulder. «Robyn's just cut up but we need to get her somewhere to clean up. You two call Ellie and then worry about packing Julie--»

Suddenly the building spat out plumes of smoke from all of it's orifices, followed a split second later by a cracking boom. The roof imploded upon itself during the next few seconds and half-exploded with light particulates again from the impact pressure alone. A heavy cloud of dust rolled out towards Ilaria and Robyn and showered them in concrete and dirt, something they managed to mitigate by rounding behind the adjacent building. Security forces crawled out of the other structures like workers from a disturbed ant hill, completely ignoring the semi-camouflaged duo in favor of coming to terms with what had happened.

«Lulu! Tell me you're okay.»

«Gah, fuck that tastes nasty. What is that, cement?» Ilaria soon cooled off her head a bit and remembered she was broadcasting her thoughts. «Sorry. Yeah, we're fine. Looks like we've got a clean exit. Yoyo, call--»

«I've... got it?» Adrian looked over to Iolvin with a questioning expression as he fumbled with his phone, receiving a nod for confirmation. «Finally. I'm dialing right now. Be safe, Ari.»

«We'll make it out fine. Meet us at the university?»

Adrian dialed and held his phone to his ear for either the third or fourth time and then gave up. «I think Ellie's phone is off or something. What's going on with her--?»

The answer made itself known when the street and perimeter lights shut off. It made perfect sense, after all. Terrorists just blew up the city's nuclear power plant. «Yoyo, Dee? School's probably dead too so just go to Robyn's. Get going; they're bound to find the body and come looking for you any minute now.»

«We'll do that, big sis.» Yoyo started packing down Julietta as he 'spoke', making sure to check the ground for imprints and his shell casing. «You sure you'll be fine walking out to the car with that bright-ass pole of yours?»

«Not a problem. Slow and steady, etcetera.»

"So we just leave them? That doesn't settle well with me at all." Dee pressed himself off the ground in a less stealthy approach, which Yoyo fixed afterward by scraping the ground with his shoe.

"Nothing else we ~can~ do, babe. Here, take the little stuff. I'll grab Julie."

"No, I'll bring the jeep. It'll be faster than watching you heave ho."

"Hey, Julie's not a 'ho' at all." Yoyo backed a fake grin with a comforting nod and let Dee jog down the hill. «Sprite... if you can hear me, lead her home safe.» As a twinkle of light flared through the haze that now filled the area below Yoyo started moving his gear with a more earnest smile.

«Thanks, lil' bro,» Ilaria tenderly beamed back, a strong sensation of love riding along with the transmission.

Adrian slid his eyes from the news broadcast on Robyn's TV to rest on his sister and Ashe both curled up on the end of the sofa. "This isn't phasing you at all, Ellie?"

Elliot wrapped his arms around his favorite wolf and made sure to reposition her box of cereal she was snacking upon. "Our friends nearly got blown up. Of course I'm worried." He took a moment to guide Ashe's paw back to the opening of her box. "But we can't do anything about it. Sometimes things don't pan out. I'm a surgeon so it's not my first risky situation."

Dee looked up at the ceiling a moment as the power dipped and the lights dimmed for blink. "I'm not saying-- Ugh, that's not it. I just want to know how you do it." He leaned to his side and right into Iolvin's chest. "I mean, Yoyo probably ~killed~ someone tonight. That's..."

"Babe, it was him or both the girls. I don't regret pulling that trigger a bit." Yoyo shifted Dee forward a few inches and off his shoulder, grunting as he did so. "Well maybe my shoulder does. That rifle's crazy."

Dee adjusted himself a bit further, resting his head in Yoyo's lap to look up into his eyes. "Well I'm glad you knew how to fire that thing."

"Well I did grow up hunting with my dad. The shooting has always been the easy part." Yoyo looked right back into Dee's eyes and shrugged his good shoulder. "The hard part's getting the nerve to go through with it I guess."

Ashe pulled her paw out with a fresh grouping of cereal and marshmallow pieces and paused to comment. "You saved Ilaria, brother. You did the right thing."

Dee looked over a few seconds to watch Ashe sort the marshmallows and oddly pass on them, giving them to Ellie instead. "Hey, don't eat the poor girl's marshmallow chunks, Ellie. That's just mean."

"Oh, I don't want those. A few are nice but that's all that's in this brand now." Ashe brought her paw to her muzzle and shook a few of the cereal pieces into her mouth. "I can't handle the sugar anyway. Screws with my head too much. Besides, it's like old times with less of the sugar bits. Reminds me how it was like as a child."

Elliot took his share of the marshmallow bits and tossed them in his mouth as well. "And I can't really complain much myself."

"Well you two leave some for Robyn. She might want that in the morning and I'd rather not deny her much after tonight." Adrian looked back up and found a puzzling, distant stare on Iolvin's face. He checked to see if some new information or evidence against them had made it to the news station, but realized Yoyo's eyes were just to the side of the screen. Something was on his mind after all. "Hey, you alright Yoyo?"

The otter looked down when he heard his name. "Sorry. I just can't shake seeing Robyn's head-- Well, I had a very vivid image in my mind of what would happen if I missed. It's a good thing Julietta doesn't have much range drop."

"Julietta's the gun?" Ellie looked over to a heap of robotic parts in the far corner of the room coincidentally next to the mentioned rifle and then went back to his sister. "So then what's that thing called?"

Dee sat up and examined the pile of parts himself. "Not a clue. Sprite just asked us to grab it from the lab. That thing that looks like a skull creeps me out actually. Speaking of, where's that little girl at?"

"Charging in Robyn's room I think," Ashe chipped in as she reached into her cereal box again, a twitch in her neck causing Ellie to snuggle tighter.

"I'll go check." Iolvin stood up and headed back towards the bedroom, then curiously stopped midway. "You hear that? I think Robyn's still upset..."

Dee watched Yoyo open the door, then slink inside and close it behind him quickly. Something was off about the way he hurried into the bedroom, something that now had Dee's interest. "I'm gonna go check on her too." He stood up and went to the door, looking back to apologize for leaving the other two alone. "Tell you what--You two take the couch tonight. Yoyo and I will make do on the floor in the office or something."

Ashe threw her cereal back into the box and protested, "I don't mind the floor."

"I'm sure, but you shouldn't have to in your condition. I'd rather you sleep well with that rehab of yours, hon." Dee opened the door and prepared to say something else, but was yanked into the bedroom before he could even catch his breath. "Hey, what's that for?"

Yoyo shut the door and let go of Dee's shoulders. "Sorry babe, but-- Well, quiet okay?"

Adrian stared ahead into the still-candlelit room and made out Ilaria's dim glow on the bed. Soon Robyn's silhouette followed, but revealed that they were both stark naked. "Woah! What's--?"

"Uh... Hey Dee." Ilaria waved over quickly and then looked to her twin brother. "Come on, Yoyo. I don't want to hurt her."

"Well I'm telling you it's not easy when you're that big. I know what I'm doing and it's still hard enough with Dee."

Adrian ducked his head down to get a better view and quickly stood up straight in embarrassment when he saw what was happening. Ilaria had the very tip of her cock barely resting inside Robyn's ass. "Y-Yeah, it's scary the first time." He found Robyn's computer desk and borrowed the chair, sitting where he could watch the action without worrying about his legs giving out. "The easiest thing to do is just relax, girls."

"Yeah, relax ~and~ use this. Seriously, I thought you were smarter than that, Lulu." Iolvin reached into his coin pocket and produced a small, single-use mylar packet for his sister. "Never thought the lube emergency would be for someone else. Here, and don't be stingy with it."

Ari inspected the packet and then ripped it open with a claw. "We're not stupid, you know. We just didn't have any and Robyn insisted..."

"Hey, I thought we could at least try with spit or something." Robyn reached out and pulled Yoyo into an embrace, using the proximity to sneak in a kiss. "Good on ya', saving my ass twice in one day. Hero of the day, mate."

"Uh... Think nothing of it." Yoyo tried to shake off the kiss and politely give the girls some distance but Robyn had other plans, sliding a paw down the front of his jeans. "Hey, what're you--??"

"You deserve a reward or two, yeah?" Robyn's other paw guided one of Yoyo's to her dripping petals. "Go ahead. You earned it."

Dee hoped his man would at least flinch at the offer and was pleasantly surprised when he wrestled himself free to look back into Dee's eyes. This was bound to happen. Obviously Dee would have had to deal with the twins wanting to be intimate with each other. Robyn would be involved as well since she was in the same boat. "Go ahead, sweetie. Let the girl thank you."

Iolvin stared back for a moment in apparent disbelief. "You really don't mind?"

Adrian huffed out a sigh as he pushed himself back to his hindpaws. He slumped down on the bed next to Yoyo and started fumbling with the otter's belt. "She wants to make my man feel good. I take that as a compliment, heeee." As the belt finally gave way Dee slinked Yoyo's jeans and boxer briefs down to his ankles. "As long as you don't keep it from me, I might be fine with that arrangement. Just know your limits and all."

Robyn's paws immediately bolted to Yoyo's manhood, sliding the mostly-erect rod of otter meat between her soaked thighs. "Thank ya' kindly, Dee. I'll take good care of him for ya'."

"First you better brace for impact, Pillow." Ilaria tried her rear entrance a second time, batting the squirrel's fluffy tail to the side and lining herself up with her tight pucker. "I'll go as slow as I can, alright? You ready?"

Robyn enthusiastically nodded and repositioned Yoyo so a sword battle wouldn't break out between her legs. As Ari's hips rocked bit by bit towards Robyn's the squirrel gasped and clenched her teeth. "Oh... ~Oh!~ OUCH! Wait!"

"Crap. I don't even have the tip inside yet."

"Hey, what did we say about relaxing?" Yoyo chipped in to help. He slumped on his side to lay in front of Robyn. "Focus on me for a bit and it'll be fine."

Yoyo slowly brought himself closer and pressed his lips to Robyn's, his paws finding each of her breasts to massage them throughout the kiss. Dee and Ari just watched as it happened, the fairer-furred of the two snapping himself out of his trance to get the ball rolling with a whisper. "Ari, aren't you forgetting something?"

Ilaria gripped Robyn's hips and slowly worked herself deeper into her rear, slipping in centimeter by centimeter with the shallowest of thrusts. Once a third or so of her length was buried in warm squirrel she slowed to a stop. "Robyn, you handling this okay? Robyn?" After a few seconds of silence she started to slide out, enticing a disappointed moan from between interlocked muzzles. "I'll... take that as a yes, I guess."

Finally the two broke their kiss, Robyn in particular being out of breath as she rolled her head downward. "Bloody hell. That's ~quite~ different, Ottah." She reached down for Yoyo's manhood and lined him up to do the deed. "Well don't stop there, lover boy. I need a good dose of otter batter in me."

Iolvin started to press inside but quickly stopped himself, kicking off his jeans and then sitting up to sort through them. "I thought I smelled you in heat. Let me pop on a rubber. Okay?"

Ilaria slowly worked herself another inch or so deeper and then halted her progress as well. "You're in heat too? Damn, no wonder I thought mom's was strong."

"How long's it been since...? Oh yeah, I guess I am. Just a minor one though I think. I usually get one of my seasonal ones in a couple months." Robyn pulled Yoyo back down by the side of his chest and pressed his tip into her oozing tunnel. "But you have Ottah's genes anyway so it doesn't matter. Give it to me raw, Yoyo."

"Ari, is that--?

"Well she is right, and if we ever wanted whelps of our own we'd need to raise our chances..." Ilaria reached over and rubbed her twin's shoulder. "If anyone's gonna risk going raw while she's in heat, I think it's you. I don't mind. Besides, the odds are against both of us anyway."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. It's not really likely I can knock anyone up so..." Yoyo slowly but strongly pressed half of his length into Robyn's soft orchid, giving her a moment to replenish her natural lubricant before thrusting until his knot ground against her petals. "Ooh, I can feel you poking me, sis."

"Mmm... I can feel that too," groaned Robyn as Ilaria restarted her campaign to get all of herself in Robyn's tight ass.

Adrian watched from over his man's side as the two stuffed Robyn to capacity. Finding a problem of his own, he lifted the skirt of his dress and slid his panties down his legs. "Well get to it then," Dee pleaded into Yoyo's ear as he started idly stroking his cock from beneath his skirt.

"Shit, that's tight." Ilaria ceased all movement once she'd gone as far as she could and slid her paws up Robyn's sides. "I'm not hurting you, am I?"

Robyn groaned at the very full feeling in the whole of her lower torso and latched her arms around Yoyo's waist. "I could lose it any second, Ottah. Mmm... It's amazing once you're all there."

"Glad to see I helped. Not sure how similar it is but Dee loves when I give it to him back there." Taking Dee's advice to action Yoyo then started pumping himself slowly in and out of Robyn, more to get her loosened up than for his own pleasure from way he kept things smooth and shallow. "Go ahead, sis. Hard part's over."

Ari gave things a tentative go, mimicking Yoyo's slow pace. Every time her brother thrusted inward she pulled a few inches out, and likewise he followed that rhythm on his end. "Ooh, you're squeezing so hard..."

Yoyo started hitting the gas bit by bit, allowing his twin to catch up with his ever-increasing pace until the two were alternately pistoning their entire lengths into Robyn. "You think she's tight on your end? I've got a death grip on my dick over here." Yoyo lost sync for a second and sped up a little to get back in rhythm. "Sorry but... I think I'm gonna pop."

Adrian worked his own paw a bit faster, the thought of his man reaching his limit turning him on. "Aw, so soon? It really felt that good?"

"Ooh... I don't mind. Fill me up good, Yoyo. ~Knot~ me." Robyn slid her paws down the otter's back and grasped his ass, pulling him into herself with surprising strength.

Yoyo protested the move, his tip already pressing into and partially splaying open Robyn's cervix. However, like many men in his position, instinctual urges won over logic and he pressed forward. With a squelch he hilted himself into the smaller girl, his knot sealing their junction tight. "I'm... there!"

"Yes! Give it all to me. Every last drop." The larger fur did as he was told, jetting stream after thick stream of magenta cum directly into the squirrel's womb. After a few ropes of batter a fire had been put out, silently setting Robyn's own orgasm off. She squealed and clamped down tightly, milking every last ounce from Yoyo as she could manage.

"Woah. Hey, is that normal?" Adrian reached between the two and placed his paw to rub on Robyn's expanding belly, not only feeling but ~hearing~ each gurgle of additional cum being injected into her overstuffed womb.

Ilaria slowed her pumping and reached to feel the same sensations as Dee. "He's going a bit overboard, but it's nothing too bad. I feel sorry for your tummy in the morning though, Robby."

"Ah... but it feels perfect now..." Robyn loosened up and nearly went limp, each thrust from Ari injecting bits of a second wind into the girl. "It is getting a bit tight down there though."

Yoyo started to come down from his blissful peak, his balls quite literally throbbing with pain from having run dry. "Damn, that was a good one. My nuts are on fire." He looked down at the bulge he'd formed in the little squirrel impaled on his cock and went to relieve the pressure. Ignoring a bit more pain he pressed two fingers around his knot and used them to wedge it free, the rest of his softening rod and a torrent of glowing pink following behind. "Gah, stings like shit. That feel a bit better, Robyn?"

"A tad less cramped, yeah. But far better..." Robyn brought a paw down to cover her clam in an attempt to retain as much of Yoyo's hot gift as she could. Satisfied once a few fingers blocked her entrance she then reached the other over Yoyo and onto Dee's dress. "Don't think I haven't seen that pawing, Dee. Why don't you take Yoyo's place?"

"I'm... not really into girls though. I mean, sex is good and all but--"

"I'm not saying you have to love me. I'm in heat, dummy." Robyn's paw slid down until it grasped Dee's smaller member through his dress. "I'll call us even for the other day, okay?"

Dee laid back and allowed Robyn to have her way with his cock. "If you insist--but I'm using a condom. No way you're talking me out of that when you're heat-crazed."

"So you're gonna have a try? This should be fun to watch." Iolvin slid himself up and out of the way, making sure to hook his pants with his hindpaw. Soon he went through his wallet and produced a condom packet for his mate. "Well I got her motor warm and purring for you. Have a good ride."

"She's not a car, sweetie," Dee chuckled out as he ripped the packet open and rolled the latex sleeve over his length.

Robyn groaned as she waited for Dee to finish, though to be fair she was being plowed from behind as well. "No need to be a gentleman," she said as she rolled Dee's hips over and lined him up with her sloppy pussy. "Just be a good mate and rut me rotten."

Ari gave her fiance a good, hard thrust and ran her paws up to grope her breasts, the deepness of her breathing revealing she was in need of a distraction. "Just a 'minor' heat, huh? You don't even talk to me that way."

"Well I'm not going mad at least. Can't blame a girl for wanting a good fuck." Robyn reached back and tugged on Ari's ass, hinting that she wanted her to start moving again. Then she threw her free leg up and over Adrian's, tugging him playfully closer. "I'm close to a good one, Dee. Just do your best."

Dee obliged the squirrel, shoving his hips flush with hers in a single motion. He held himself deep inside and ground his manhood in circles, causing him to preemptively come just a little. "Wow... S-Sorry about that." Dee locked eyes with a now-smiling Robyn as he fought to keep himself in control, his cock throbbing deep inside her.

Robyn snaked her other leg beneath Dee and locked her ankles together. "Hey, this your first time straight up with a girl?"

"Y-Yeah. First time doing this the proper way anyway. Uh... not just with a girl either." Once he'd gotten a better hold on the new sensations Dee slid himself about halfway free and slowly shoved forward again. "It's better than pawing, that's for sure."

"Well good for you. If you ever want to feel it again, all you have to do is ask."

Ilaria started to really hammer into Robyn, obviously on her last legs at this point. "Me too, hon. It'll be fun." She gave a few particularly hard thrusts that started wedging her engorged knot into Robyn's ass, but forced herself to stop when the squirrel began to lightly yipe in pain. "Sorry, Robyn. I'm just really close and--"

"You do get carried away." Just as Dee really began to get into things, Robyn pulled him free of her snatch with an apologetic expression covering her face. "Sorry, could you let Ari finish there? You can go as hard as you want in a minute."

"Sure, uh... Yeah, go ahead." Dee blinked and stared blankly into Robyn's eyes, then backed himself out of her leg-hug so Ilaria would have more room to work. "I'm not gonna last long anyway. A break might be good."

"Sorry, Dee." Ari slipped her artificial leg through Robyn's for reach and swapped entrances, filling her love tunnel in the blink of an eye. As was usually the case, it took an additional solid thrust to breach Robyn's innermost barrier just to give Ari's knot a chance. "All the way?"

"That or catch hell, Ottah." Robyn squeezed her thighs together and rolled her hips, teasing that knot but also grinding her clit against her lover's girth.

Ari gave a final, solid push of her hips and wedged her knot inside with a wet, dull pop. "Fuck yes--!" She rocked her groin the slight amount she was allowed as she began to blast searing streams of orange into Robyn. Merely a few deep pulses managed to replenish what of her twin's had leaked out. Then the strong spurts settled into a solid stream of the viscous fluid, gurgling into Robyn's belly as it slowly but steadily expanded.

"I'm cumming, Ari!" Robyn placed both her paws on her stomach as she began to spasm and convulse, her peak indeed hitting her as hard as she professed. She clenched down with all her might, her already-tight cunny now refusing to let Ilaria or anything else out.

As Dee watched Ari's cock jump and twitch in its final motions he noticed something shiny protruding from under the knot. "Hey, something's stuck between you guys." He reached down to clear what he assumed was a stray trinket, flicking it so it would fly away with minimal intrusion on his part.

"No, ~fuck~!" Ilaria doubled over in apparent pain, only to reveal a moment later that she was squirting a generous helping of cum from her more feminine parts. As her pussy cringed and spasmed her cock did the same, an entire second wave of cum filling Robyn enough to look a few months pregnant.

"Crap! I didn't mean to--!"

Robyn's eyes rolled back in her head as she stretched with the seemingly discomforting yet pleasurable experience. "That's good, Ottah. It's a bit much." When she looked down and found a red-orange glow permeating her skin and fur from the offending area she curled forward and wrapped her tail over her and Ari's lower halves. "Gods, Ottah. Self control mean anything?"

"Well tell Dee not to touch my piercing."

"I didn't know you had that thing! It wasn't there a day ago, anyway." Adrian looked over to an equally-baffled Iolvin and then back to Ilaria. "I'm sorry, Ari. I didn't know what--"

"It felt great, Dee. Don't worry about it." Ari flipped onto her back and took Robyn with her, settling the girl to rest on her.

Robyn pulled on Ari's arms coaxed her to continue massaging her tits. "More importantly, don't let it screw with your head. I mean, you're getting soft and you haven't finished yet."

Dee frowned as he looked down at his shrinking manhood. He reached for the condom and pulled it free with a snap, giving up on his quest for a climax. "It's fine. I'll eventually get there myself."

"And have blue balls until you do?" Ari kneaded and squeezed Robyn's decently-full tits, a light giggle sneaking out as she had an idea. "Did I ever mention my Pillow here's got some ~amazing~ tits? Heeee..."

Robyn rested her paws over Ari's own and pondered the playfulness in her voice for a few seconds. "Oh, ~right~. Good one, Ottah." Robyn reached out a paw to grab Dee's dick, rolling the foreskin back and forth until he started slowly getting hard once more. "Why don't you sit that tool of yours between my tits, Dee? I'm sure we I can help you out between these and my muzzle."

"Okay, but I don't really see anything with breasts to be honest." Dee got on his knees and crawled over the girls, resting his stiff manhood between Robyn's mounds so the tip of his length poked towards her snout. "Uh, do I have to do something or--?"

"Only if you want, hon. Or you can just leave it all to me if you'd prefer." Proving her point, Robyn pressed Dee's cock down and squeezed Ari's paws together so she'd hold her tits tightly clamped around that rod of flesh. She then moved her muzzle forward and took the tip into her mouth, suckling it lightly for a pawful of seconds. "So you're always wearing a hoodie? That's cute."

Adrian flinched at the comment, not really getting it until he made the link between a hoodie and the attention Robyn's tongue was giving to his foreskin. "Oh, yeah. Apparently runs in the family." Starting to actually feel some rather pleasant sensations from the soft orbs surrounding him, Dee slowly rocked his hips forward and back. It was times like this that reminded Dee just how useful a trait his foreskin was, the membrane rolling between loose and taut to make up for the lack of lube.

Ari got the hint and began rocking Robyn's breasts in an opposing rhythm to the fair-furred otter. "So what's the verdict?"

As Robyn started taking as much of Adrian's cock between her lips as she could manage, Dee groaned and put some more weight into his thrusts. "Better than I thought. I think I'm about ready, actually."

Robyn's mouth slurped free and she licked her lips. "Well just let it go whenever you like, Dee. I don't mind getting dirty."

Dee started thrusting forward again to entice Robyn's muzzle back around his length, eventually taking hold of the back of her head without even realizing it. She apparently wanted to see him cum just as much as he did though, not even trying to complain and actually lifting his cock out of her furry valley so she could take more into her mouth. About the time she gobbled his tip into her throat he couldn't hold on any more. "I'm-- HEEEEE!"

Robyn tried her best to swallow what she was given, the first blast of cum heading down her gullet. However the second wave conflicted with the hard angle of her neck and caused her to cough, the third and fourth spurts of green spraying over her face and muzzle. The remaining few trickling shots landed between Robyn's tits and rolled down to the cleft of her neck. With cum oozing from her lips and a tiny bit even leaking from her nose Robyn coughed out, "Nice shot..."

"Wow, she never coughs. Must have been a good one."

"Oi, you try doing that at an awkward angle." Robyn wiped some lime-colored goop from one of her eyes and then went to licking the cum out of Dee's foreskin. "Honestly he didn't let out too much. Self control, yeah?"

"Yeah, yeah..."

Adrian rubbed his cock across the squirrel's tits to gather some of his cream, then started gliding between them again just to see if some lube might have made a difference. "Well fuck me if I'm not surprised. I didn't think that would be so great."

"Ooh, it's great with a rack like hers. I'm jealous of 'em, actually." Ilaria squeezed Robyn's breasts and tweaked her piercing for fun before letting her paws fall to her sides. "So you think you'd like to give women a try now?"

"Maybe... every now and then. ~If~ Yoyo's fine with it." Dee looked over to Iolvin to get his impression on the matter and sighed when he found the otter sleeping on the side of the bed. "Wow, must have taken a lot out of him if he's not up for another round."

"Hmm? Yoyo?" Ilaria rolled to the side, dumping Dee next to his mate and sandwiching Robyn between them. "Oh, that ~is~ strange. He's not glowing much either, is he?"

"Yeah..." Dee checked Yoyo's pulse just in case and found it within acceptable limits. "Maybe making all that extra cum drains the nanites fast?"

Robyn pulled Ari's arms to wrap around her waist and snuggled into a better sleeping position with a yawn. "Didn't you guys use up your last of your thingamabobs though?"

"Yeah." Ari intertwined her tail with Robyn's, something they always did when they dozed off to sleep. "Well we should be good until the morning. When the power's settled down we should be able to make that oxydium without risking anything going wrong."

"And we'll have more energy. Got it."

"Then I get more sex. We all win." Robyn closed her eyes and surprisingly pulled Adrian's body flush with hers to spoon him. "But I'm feeling a lot better now thanks to all you. Appreciate the assistance." With that Robyn hugged Dee and gave him a tender kiss behind the ear.

"My pleasure, Robyn."

Ilaria giggled as she nuzzled between Robyn's ears and closed her eyes. "Yeah, literally."

"Your brother's right. Total idiot."

"Heeee."
