Shetland and Raven by Shetland and Raven Fox: Another joint project of us. Two friends and a large portion of Earths population are survivors of a terrorist attack that triggered the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano.

Town of Lyman at the Gas-n-go.

Shetland watched as his best friend Raven sat at a table drinking a bottle Budweiser beer. The human spending a two week vacation decided to visit his best friend. "So, what are our plans Raven?" He asked the black hair human male.

Raven grinned placing the bottle of beer on the table gazing at his friend with his hazel colored eyes with bits of brown and yellow mixed in the irises. "Simple my friend, we're going fishing in the morning near Yellowstone park. I find this really good place to camp out and chill."

The human male with dark brown hair looked at his friend with green eyes. He and Raven can be mistaken for brothers, but Raven during the summer months. Well, his exposed skin goes to a tan shade and some people mistake him for a Mexican, but the half Native American can't speak a word of Spanish and has no future plans to learn the language, but he knows some Japanese due to spending a couple years in that country in the Navy. Shetland watched his friend downed the rest of his beer and gave him the keys to his 1984 Chevy truck. "You only had one beer, you can still drive." The human said to the older one.

"I am a Native, firewater effects us differently than you white guys. Just drive us to my place so we can finish packing. I've been driving all day, it's your turn to drive and I insist. There's not much difference between my truck and yours." Raven said placing the empty bottle in the trash.

Shetland sighed accepting the keys, knowing that there's a difference between a 1984 Chevy truck compared to a 1990 Chevy truck. "I have a 454 with throttle body fuel injection and you my friend. Your truck has that 350 with that temperamental carburetor that I end up adjusting every time I visit you." He thought to himself as his friend walked to the white colored truck. The human doesn't stay mad at Raven who saved him from bullies during the school years. Shetland shuddered thinking of his friend who seem an easy going guy, but he saw his friend lose his temper when a couple of football players tried raping him in the locker room. He remembered his friend taking out the one guarding the entry door with a fire extinguisher and giving the two that were trying to have their way with him a beating with the device that was designed to put out fires. The parents of the trio of trouble makers tried to press charges against Raven, but two of them were eighteen and Shetland was fifteen. So two of them went to the state prison for attempted sexual assault of a minor with the third to juvenile detention for assault. "Yeah, Raven has a temper and I don't want to see the likes of that again. From what he did to those two and it took the coach and his assistant to stop him from beating them to death." He thought to himself looking at the key-fob of Ravens' truck keys. Shetland gave him the key-fob that looked like the Chevy symbol last time he visited.

Raven watched his friend look at his truck keys grinning. He only had sisters as siblings and counted Shetland as the brother he never had in life. The human was going to get his friend, but his friend walked to his truck.

"Do you need to fill up your tanks?" Asked Shetland question ally.

"No, not here, you're going to the T/A truck stop west of here. The gas is twenty cents cheaper per gallon there and its Shell brand. From what the local stations charge for regular unleaded, I can get the mid-grade for the same price. The engine in this truck has eleven to one compression ratio and I got to put mid-grade or premium in the tank or my truck will run like crap." Raven answered hearing the 350 start up.

The next day south of Yellowstone park, about fifty miles 5:00 in the morning.

Raven wearing a pair of mirrored sunglasses turned grinning at Shetland. "Just a couple of miles, we will be at the lake. My friend says there are huge Rainbow trout here at this lake." He said to the younger guy following him.

Shetland nodded wiping sweat off his brow looking at his friend. Summer has started and his friends' exposed skin is already a medium tan. "Yeah, he doesn't half to put on sunscreen like I half to due to his natural built in sunscreen." He thought to himself. After the stop at T/A, they went to a store and gotten his non-resident fishing license. The young human male did all the driving in Ravens' antique truck. Shetland loved and hated the temperamental truck that's hard to start in the morning. He missed his 1990 every time he had to start his friends truck because his 1990 starts after one second of cranking. "It's like trying to wake up a horny gal Shetland; you got to seduce her into starting." Raven said to him this morning when it took a few tries to get his truck started.

Raven stopped at a clearing looking at the view and consulted his hand held GPS unit checking their position. The older human male looked at Shetland watching the younger guy with concern. "We'll take five and rest, should be at the place by 7:00, I heard the fish will still be biting." He said taking out a canteen taking a swallow of water.

The younger human male looked at the landscape noting that Wyoming is different in scenery than Washington State. A speeding jet noise gotten his attention, he watched as a low flying passenger jet flew overhead at five hundred feet above them. "Raven, I think that jet is going to crash!" He yelled at his friend.

Turning his head, Raven watched as the jet disappeared over the horizon. Seconds later, he turned his head away from the brilliant white flash. "Turn away!" The older human male yelled and felt the ground shake and when the brilliant white flash subsided. Raven turn to where the jet disappeared and saw the familiar mushroom shape cloud of a nuclear explosion. "Shit, this isn't good." He muttered.

"Where do you think it went off at?" Shetland asked and he felt the ground shake of an Earthquake.

"Yellowstone park, that nuke went off at the caldera. The idiots who set off that nuke don't realize that if that volcano erupts, it affects the whole world. When Krakatoa erupted back in the late 1883, the summer was cooler than normal and crops failed and lots of people starved. This is the end of civilization bud; the pyroclastic flow will be here in minutes." Raven said in a dreary tone watching as a very large volcanic eruption in the distance.

Shetland stared at the eruption. He remembered looking at photos of the Mt St Helens eruption back in 1980. "Can we out run that pyroclastic flow?" The younger human asked his friend.

Raven shook his head in sadness. "Not a chance, that ash and rock is over eighteen hundred degrees traveling at four hundred miles per hour. I am sorry Shetland, but lets' walk to the lake. We won't make it there, but, let's have one last bullshit session."

Minutes later, Shetland heard the sound of continuous thunder rumbling. He saw Raven stood in front of him and get knocked on his backside with something sticking out of his chest. Be fore blackness claimed him, the young human recognized the hindquarters of a fox, but the fox is black.

Unknown time and place.

"Wake up human, according to the scanners, you should be fully functional." Said a female voice.

Shetland felt someone shaking him awake. He tried to ignore who ever is shaking him. "Will you stop this Raven, I am up, let me sleep for a few more minutes. I had a bad dream that we were about to get killed by a volcano." The younger human male said.

"Wake up, human, that wasn't a dream. A nuclear explosion cause by a stolen warhead did cause that volcano to erupt. With the combine explosion of the airliner and the device exploding at the right area caused the Yellowstone caldera to erupt. That eruption was a thousand times more powerful than the Krakatoa eruption back in 1883. Your world is in another ice age." Said the female voice.

Shetland kept his eyes shut wondering where's he's at. The owner of the voice sounded strange. "Before I corporate with you, answer this question. Where's my friend Raven? He was with me and I think he was injured." He said to the voice.

There's a moment of silence and the voice answered. "Well, due to relocating most of the Earths' population, we had to keep some in hibernation. You and your friend were to close to the blast and eruption, so you and your friend had to be in hibernation for fifty years. Raven was seriously damaged at the genetic level due to a foreign substance in his body. Wake up Shetland and we will go see your friend and the two of you will get resettled."

He opened his eyes seeing a sable colored female anthropomorphic collie looking at him with blue eyes. "Who are you and where am I?"

The collie helped him off the bed with an extended hand. "I am Colleen and you can't go to Earth due to it going thru an ice age. Right now we're going to medical wing to check on your friend."

Shetland rubbed his eyes looking at the place he's in looking like a high tech hospital room. He got on his feet following Colleen out of the room. While going to the medical, the human passed different types of anthros with some humans who looked at him as they passed him. Shetland wondered how Raven is doing when they turned down a passage. He heard Raven shouting. "What happened to me, someone tell me why I am covered in fur!"

Colleen sighed opening the door seeing a short black colored anthro male fox looking at his black hands. She directed her gaze at the black fox with the usual white pattern on his front starting at his muzzle down to his inner thighs. "Settle down Raven and I'll tell you what happened."

Raven looked at the anthro female collie and did a grin running a hand between his ears. He did have slightly long hair at the top of his head. "You have my attention gorgeous." The fox said and licked his nose pad.

Shetland whispered. "You're lucky, he likes you, if he didn't, you'll know."

The collie looked at Raven running a hand thru her long blonde head hair. "Fifty years ago when we rescued most of the Earths' population. Our transporters weren't the best; some other organic matter was mixed in your atoms when we beamed you on the ship. When you reappeared, well, the way you look now is how we got you."

Raven looked at his new body looking between his legs seeing a white scrotum and sheathe. The fox did a sigh of relief being glad that he's still male. He did write a series called The adventures of Lisa the vixen of a male human ending up an anthro vixen. Raven saw something strange, there was two black white tipped tails. "Dam, I am Tails from Sonic the hedgehog!" The fox yelled.

"Chill Raven, I got to adjust because some of our planet is uninhabitable and I don't know where we're going to live now. One thing is certain, our hosts had us in hibernation for the pass fifty years and everyone who we knew are either dead or at a senior citizens retirement home." Shetland said to his friend.

The fox looked at the human and the collie with his hazel colored catlike eyes. "I want my truck, I miss it and it has a six pack of Budweiser in the cooler. Can we go get my truck because I need a beer."

"Raven didn't you listen, you're a fox, you're fifty years in the future who knows we're at. The first thing that you ask about is you antique temperamental truck!" Shetland raised his voice at his friend. He saw the fox stare at him not moving a muscle, just looking at him with his strange colored eyes.

"If we can't get my truck, get me a beer. I've been asleep for fifty years and I am thirsty." Raven said to his friend and grinned.

Shetland felt the tension in the air eased and sighed.

Colleen walked up to the fox moving a scanner to check his body. She nodded and tossed some clothing to Raven. "Put these on, we're going to the café and drop you guys to the Japanese colony."

"Why are you dropping us at a Japanese Colony?" Asked Shetland question ally.

"The U.S. colonies are still in a state of unrest and your friend will be treated like an outcast. He has a better chance in the Japanese colony." Colleen said looking at Raven.

The fox grinned and said some phrases in Japanese putting on the clothing given to him by Colleen. He followed the collie and his best friend out of the medical area. Raven not wearing any footwear feet felt a vibration and twisted his ears hearing unfamiliar noises. "We're on a type of ship aren't we?"

Colleen looked at the fox nodding. "How do you know that?"

"The air has a type of scent to it and I can hear machinery noise that I never heard in my life. I've been on five types of ships and ten different types of aircraft and none of these noises are known to me." He grins. "Or could I be on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean like the movie Face Off."

The collie has mixed feelings for this fox that use to be a human male. She already finds him an unknown, acting like a pup and just now knowing that he's on an unknown craft. "You're right raven, you and your friend are on a starship flying to a world where the people known as Japanese are living on." Colleen said to the fox and smiles at Shetland who blushes.

Having sharpened senses due to being a fox, Raven knew his friend is embarrassed. He decided that he will ridicule his friend later, but slightly. Right now the fox wants to consume an alcoholic drink. "Or I can wait and see if this Japanese colony has Sake." The fox thought to himself as they walked down the corridor.

Hour's later, New Tokyo spaceport.

Colleen got the two males thru Japanese customs with new ID cards. She heard the Japanese say a word when they look at Raven. "You say that you know some Japanese, what are they saying? I am not wearing my translator due to forgetting it."

Raven chuckled. "They're calling me a kitsune, a Japanese fox spirit. Japan was way older than the United States and the country had more Mythology and Folklore than the United States. They counted the United States as arrogant children compared to them because that country has been around for thousands of years compared to two hundred odd years of the United States. I think that's why there's trouble at where you sent us Americans at, but there's many different races at the United States compared to the single race living at Japan."

"There are various Asian races living at the Japanese colony Raven, how come they're doing fine?" Asked Colleen.

The fox inhaled the air on this planet sensing familiar scents from the time he was stationed at Yokosuka back when he was in the U S Navy as a human male. "They agree with each other and only help themselves. I know it sounds selfish, but you can't solve everyone's problems and ignore what's happening at home. That was my country's fatal flaw; they sent billions of dollars in aid to other countries without solving the problems at home. I don't know who flew that aircraft in to Yellowstone with a nuke, it might have been an American who done it or a terrorist with a grudge against my country."

Shetland stayed quiet listening to his friend who now stands only four feet tall. He looked at the different buildings with Japanese writing on them. Raven told him that he can only speak and understand some of the spoken language, but he can't read the writing because there three different dialects of the written language.

Colleen laid a hand on his shoulder. "Your friend can sure rant sometimes, but the people who are taking you in are supplying a translator device for each one of you guys."

"Raven lost a job he really loved a year ago, wait, fifty one years ago. He went to apply for a few places and the places said that they can't hire him due to that he can't speak or write Spanish. I can't I say blame him for not shedding a tear for what happened. My friend wasn't treated well in life, he was called vulgar stuff for being half Native American and his dad served in the Vietnam War. So if I was in his shoes, wait, or wearing his fur, I might be acting like him." Shetland said to the collie watching as a Japanese woman walking up to Raven speaking Japanese.

The fox knew that something must have happened to him while in hibernation. When he listened to the Japanese female talking to him, he understood what she was saying to him. Raven looked the human Japanese woman over admiring her.

She has those Asian features he liked, but a few differences. The female is well endowed in the breast area and she was wearing a low cut shirt showing a nice cleavage. The Japanese woman gazed at him with blue colored eyes with high check bones.

"My name is Raven, what is your name?" The fox asked in Japanese.

"I am Nitomi, where are you staying at Raven?" She answered in Japanese.

Raven looked over at Colleen who is looking at him. The collie said something to him and Raven said the same answer in Japanese to Nitomi. The Japanese woman nodded and walked in to the crowd of humans and anthros.

The collie and Shetland looked at Raven grinning at them. "She wants to get a hold of me in a couple of days."

"You always had a weakness with a female with big breasts." Shetland said to Raven.

"I do not Shetland; most Asian females don't mutilate themselves by putting nose rings up their noses and eyebrows. Every time I see an attractive female with a nose ring and a tattooed chest, I want to throw up on them." The fox said looking at the crowd as they resume following Colleen to where they're going to live.

A couple of days later, a sushi place.

Raven read the menu of the place, one thing he noticed in the last couple of days. The fox noticed he understood the writing. "This isn't normal; I told Shetland that it takes a school course to understand the written language of the Japanese." He thought to himself and placed his order.

A while later, the order is given to him. "Will that be all?" The older proprietor asked the fox in Japanese.

"I'll take Sake please." The fox replied as he heard the door opened.

The guy looked at the door muttered "Gaijin, what is she doing here?"

Raven looked at the door feeling a second of anger of the proprietors' remark when he saw a familiar Japanese woman walk in. The fox grinned at the sight of Nitomi as she made a beeline to his area.

The Japanese woman sat next to him smiling. "How are you settling at our colony?"

"I am doing fine; Shetland is going to assigned job tomorrow and as for me... I have a meeting with a place in five days. So as of now, I am enjoying the sights of this place." The fox said to Nitomi looking her over. He offered some of his meal and resume eating. Raven didn't really have the taste for sushi when he was in the Navy, now he likes it assuming it's being part fox now. The fox felt a slim hand stroke between his ears.

"You have such soft fur kitsune." Replied the human female whispering in one of his ears.

Raven relaxed enjoying getting petted. He finished his meal and paid his bill. "Thank you for the good meal." The fox said to proprietor and followed Nitomi out of the place.

After they walked a distance down from the sushi place, Nitomi put an arm around Ravens' shoulders putting the side of his muzzle against the side of her large breasts. "I am just the right height." Raven thought to himself as they went to Nitomis' place.

Nitomis' place, at the Japanese colony.

Her place is decorated in the Japanese style as the fox walked in the place. Raven stand still feeling his twin tails wagging. He willed them to stop moving still getting use to his new body. One thing the fox noticed, his new body was more flexible and he has an extra eyelid that closed over each eye. Raven looked in the mirror yesterday closing those extra lids seeing that he can still see his reflection, the lighting was dimmed. "Like I have built in sunglasses, but those lids are like mirrors." He thought to himself with a shudder remembering how he looked with the silver lids over his eyes with his black colored fur on his muzzle. The fox watched as Nitomi walked to a wall with weapons hanging on the wall.

She smiled at the short fox walking to the wall removing a Katana and turning to him. Nitomi did the Japanese courtesy giving Raven the Katana. "It's for you my Kitsune; I have a feeling that you will need it." She said to the fox.

Raven is speechless as he took the Katana from his friend. He remembered that he should take the gift, if he refused the gift, Nitomi will considered it rude and he will lose a friend. The fox bowed his head keeping his arms extended politely. "Thank you for your gift Nitomi-san, I am honored." Raven said to her in Japanese.

The Japanese female gestured the fox to sit at a cushion. She sat across from him folding her legs at the table between them. Nitomi poured a cup of tea for Raven and herself.

The fox found the tea quite tasty as he drank it. He looked at Nitomi and some pieces of the puzzle seem to fit in place. "She was outside of the customs building waiting for me to exit it, as if she knew. This Katana was built for me because it fits me like a glove." Raven thought to himself admiring the sheathe of the Katana made with blue accents and the handle was made with blue and white décor. The fox saw Nitomi grinning at him.

"Just to let you know, I've been awake for ten years making me the age of twenty nine. I worked at the hibernation center that had you and your friend. They had you two at a planet two days of hyper space travel from here. One thing they do to Earthlings in stasis, they input a programming to give you a talent, I was to be a nurse. You are going to be a translator for a company at my colony, but I added a few things as Japanese sword fighting styles and unarmed combat. Some other colonies will want you for their own selfish reasons because they know that we Japanese have a special place in our hearts for our legends. You might know a different Japan back at our old world, but losing a planet and restarting a culture, we kind of went back to the old ways like late twentieth century. I walk a thin line of being a pacifist Japanese female and keeping my guard up for any treachery, that's why I am called a gaijin by some people. Don't worry Raven, I am doing alright and you don't half to defend my honor. Drink your tea and we will talk some more." Nitomi said to the fox.

Raven took it all in and sipped his tea, his friend just told him to watch his back. The fox liked looking at Nitomi with her cute Asian features and her shade of brown hair. That hair coloring is always his favorite shade on Japanese females. He knew that her breast size is real because of the way they jiggled and placement on her chest. "Fake boobs seem to be pointing at you and I rested my head on one of them feeling the softness." Raven thought to himself remembering the lectures from the Navy personal of how to treat a Japanese female. "No, she has to make the first move. If all what we do is talk, so be it, I can wait." The fox thought to himself and enjoyed the rest of his date.

Shetlands' and Ravens' dojo.

Shetland did some exercising on the mat doing sit-ups and stretching. He remembered doing some sparing with Raven and getting beaten by the fox. "He's slippery as an eel because he's so quick." The human male thought to himself hearing the door of the place opened.

Colleen walked in the place watching the human male work out by himself. The collie liked the human more than the fox. She smiled as Shetland walked up to her. "So how are you settling in?"

"I am starting work tomorrow as a repairman, so I am working off some excess energy so I can sleep. Hopefully Raven is getting wasted because if he's not, he talks in his sleep. Those walls are thin here, sometimes when he's dreaming; he thinks he's Fox Mc cloud." Shetland said to the collie.

"Have you seen that Japanese female named Nitomi? She seems to taken an interest in your friend." The collie said to the human male.

Shetland chuckled. "No, I haven't seen her since that day. Do you think she might cause some trouble?"

"She uses to work at the hibernation center we had you guys stored at. After that day, I remembered who she was. I always saw Nitomi looking at the stasis tube we had Raven stored in as if..." Colleen said to Shetland walking closer to him.

The human raised his eyebrows as the collie removed her outfit giving him a view of her white furry front. Shetland licked his lips as the collie undid his outfit rubbing her hands on his body. He felt his heart raced as she pulled his underwear down and started sucking on his harden member. "This is going to be different." Shetland thought to himself as the collie sucked on his member and licked his balls.

Shetlands' nightmare.

The younger human always had the nightmare once a year since the two football players tried to rape him. He would be struggling with his pants and underwear pulled down with him screaming for help. As usual, the coach with be in his office ignoring what's going in the locker room. Then Raven will be storming the locker room beating them with the fire extinguisher.

This time the nightmare is different, instead of Raven in his human form running in saving him. There's the sound of an explosion and the lockers get blasted apart. The two football players get blasted dead. Fox Mc Cloud walks in the locker room looking at the coachs' office shooting the blaster once and looks at Shetland. "Everything's cool buddy, let's get out of here."

Shetland looks at the destruction and back at the fox. Instead of Fox Mc Cloud, there's a black colored kitsune holding a Japanese sword with blood still running down the blade. The two football players didn't have blaster injuries on them; they have been hacked apart with a very sharp weapon. "Come Shetland; let's get the fuck out of here." Raven said cleaning the Katana.

The young human snaps awake and a hand stroke him. "You're having a nightmare." Said a female voice.

Shetland regains his senses seeing Colleen looking at him. He's in bed with her looking at her blue eyes and long blonde colored head hair. "I have this nightmare once a year since I was fifteen years old." The human told the collie about it and how it is different this time. "Now there are two people who know about it, you and Raven. He told me never tell anyone else or I'll ending up taking medicine for no reason and spend the rest of my life hearing voices in my head and end up taking more meds."

Colleen lay on her side looking at the human. She thought of Raven as a rude and strange anthro fox. The collie wondered why the citizens of this colony treat the black, short two tailed fox like a movie star. Colleen ran the bits of the nightmare in her mind analyzing it and the changes. "Has Raven changed in personality since you moved in here?"

"He told me now he can read Japanese, before he couldn't. That's the only thing I noticed different a bout him." Shetland said to the collie and remembered how the fox kicks his ass in their sparing sessions. "But he fights differently, Raven was a dirty fighter, but now, he fights more like someone who fights like a Samurai." The human thought to himself and he told Colleen how his friend fights now.

The collie nodded and took out a device that looks like a Black Berry cell phone. She typed on it and felt shivers going down her spine. SUBJECT: ANTHROPOMORPHIC FOX MORPH.... DUE TO FOREIGN DNA IN SYSTEM...TRANPORTER SYSTEM RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN RAVEN DUE TO SEVERE INJURIES FROM VOLCANIC ERUPTION...

Colleen whispered to Shetland handing the device to him.

The human took the device reading it. "Reminds of the movie Demolition Man. The good guy gets the talent of knitting and the bad guy gets the programming that makes him a real badass. I am glad that Raven isn't a psychopath, but you might say he's more like an anti-hero."

The same moment, an alleyway in town.

Raven walked down the street feeling great looking at the night sky enjoying himself. He took a closer look of the night sky seeing a very large moon with a smaller one further away. The fox thought the different sky being sexy. "As sexy as Nitomi, I love to see her in a two piece bikini." Raven thought to himself feeling his penis unsheathe picturing his Japanese friend in a swimsuit. Being drunk at the moment, he kept himself in control respecting the town he's currently walking home. The fox knew he would be ill in the morning, but he knew a few hangover cures. Raven has a bottle of oxygen with a mask preferring that quick cure over some other cures he tried. He knew that his friend Shetland will be asleep at the moment and he will do a stealthy entrance and crash. One thing the fox figured out that he doesn't vomit when in this condition, he assume that the Japanese brewed cleaner liquor. Raven continued his lumbering swaying walk feeling something heavy hitting him, but while on the ground, a needle was stuck in his neck injecting him.

"I thought he was going to drink till dawn." Said a male human looking at the fox on the road. "Are we going for the other one Captain?"

The other male picked up the fox handing the Katana to the first human replied with distain. "No, that human is a pacifist, I studied his file. He only signed up for the draft; this one served his country in the Navy. So being on watercraft will not bother him, our computer expert who hacked the hibernation center finding out that someone modified his file making him a fighter. This fox is more useful than the human that is with him."

"So this fox is a loner." Said the first human.

The captain answered with a sharp tone. "Did you see that Japanese woman he hangs out with? This fox is not a hermit, I gotten a few erections looking at that local female and I don't blame him being with her. Lets get out of here or we will have problems with the local cops." He takes out a com device. "Sensi, we have the package at Sony ave, request extraction." The human used a knife to dig a small capsule out the fox's' neck throwing the device at the street.

The next day, Shetland and Ravens' dojo.

Shetland walked up to Ravens' room and pounded on the door. "Wake up Raven, we got to get ready. You promised that we will walk at my place of employment."

Colleen walked up. "What's wrong?"

"I think Ravens' drunk again. Do you have a hangover treatment kit on you?" The human replied to the collie.

She sighed opening a compartment on her belt taking out a one use syringe. "I hate using this because it causes pain for a minute." She shows her white teeth. "But he did promise that he was going to do something with you today. So I won't feel guilty doing this to him."

Shetland opened the door seeing an empty bed and he yelled. "Dam, I think he passed out somewhere! I better start calling police stations to see if he's in a jail cell."

A third voice spoke. "Only one Kitsune at this town, the police would have dropped him off here because the cops are superstitious. It's bad luck to mistreat a kitsune, some people believe." Said the old Japanese male who rented the dojo to the two friends.

Colleen took out her small computer that looks like a Blackberry cell phone. "I am going to place a few calls to see if he's sleeping somewhere." She looks at the Japanese man with a grin. "After all, he's the only Kitsune in this town. Someone must have seen him, let's go Shetland and find your friend."

The old Japanese male watched the couple leave. He walked to a shrine in his home lighting an incense stick praying. "I hope you're unharmed Raven. You might be strange and weird, but I wonder why you're dating that Nitomi. If anyone cause you harm, I hope they feel your pain a thousand fold."

Later, Sony ave.

Colleen looked at the display of the device and at the ground. The collie looked around and picked up a small capsule. "As Raven would say, this sucks. I thought he would have been passed out here."

Shetland looked at the capsule being held by the collie. He looked at the ground seeing some dried blood feeling queasy and slid to the ground. The human felt a needle prick at his neck and he felt better.

"Are you ok?" Asked the collie.

"I am fine; I can gut a fish and clean it. When I see the blood of someone I know, I get a little dizzy. Is that a tracking device?" The human asked.

"Yes it is, I had a feeling that some people might kidnap your friend. So a few of my people decided to place a tracking device in him. Someone knew about it and removed it from him in a crude way. I would of use a portable EMP device to fry it. The way it was removed, my suspects are down to two groups of colonies, a USA bunch or IUH group." Colleen puts the tracking device in a compartment on her belt. "Lets get you to your job; my people will look for him. Don't worry Shetland, I promise I'll find him."

The human nodded in agreement and the couple walked away.

Unknown place.

Raven woke up feeling his bed rocking and the pain in the back of his neck stung him. "Ow, who stabbed me in the neck?" The fox yelled feeling a bandage at his neck.

"We had to remove the tracking device the canines put in you fox." Said a female voice a slight purr.

He saw a female lynx looking at him with blue eyes with long black head hair. "So am I your prisoner cat."

The lynx sprung unsheathing her claws grabbing his neck. "I am a lynx short stuff, the name is Khyrst fox."

"Corporal, release our guest, that's an order." Said a male human voice.

Raven saw a male human walk in wearing a US Army uniform. The fox recognize the twin silver bars of Captain. "Captain, why am I here sir?" He asked as Khyrst released him.

The male human grinned. "So you did serve the USA, what was your rating in the Navy?"

The fox knew that this Army Captain must have a file on him. He knew that his military records were stored somewhere in the United States. "I was an Engineman third class on a Destroyer and a LST, I only did one enlistment sir."

"Captain Woods, United States Army, I was at the Pentagon when it happened. I woke up a year ago at the place where they stick the Americans at." He answered.

Raven nodded touching the bandage at his neck. "How did you know about the tracking device, I only just found out about it?" The fox felt anger of being watched and tracked by Colleen.

Woods studied the fox seeing the anger and used in his benefit. "They do that to people who are different and don't trust. What was your life style that wants to make them keep tabs on you all the time?"

"I admit I loved my freedom to much, went hunting at a place in Wyoming and fishing at different places. Liked going to a bar on Friday nights to get drunk, I am not an alcoholic sir, just used the brews to relax sir." The fox answered.

The Army Captain sat on a chair patting the fox between the ears. "I know, you did service for your country and you wanted to enjoy life. Then a group of crazies crashed an airliner with a nuke into Yellowstone Park. I heard of your injuries at the area they picked you up at, did you stare death in the face when that blast hit you?"

"The face of death was a black fox impaling me in the chest, which hurt a lot sir. I wake up being four feet tall with two tails and covered in fur." Answered Raven placing a hand on the bulkhead near him feeling it. He felt a pulsing rumble and the rough texture of the bulkhead recognizing the material. "Let me guess, I am on a concrete ship with a triple-expansion steam engine." The fox grinned at the human and lynx.

Woods nodded and knew that Raven is very knowledgeable about ships. "You're correct; this planet doesn't have many raw materials to make steel and other metals. So what metal we can use goes to constructing power plants on ships." He saw the fox staring at him. "Why an obsolete steam engine? This world doesn't have the technology level to make complex engines for ships."

The fox sighed and grinned. "Being an ex snipe, I sure like to see the engine room on this ship."

The female lynx rolled her eyes as the three people exited the stateroom.

While walking down the passageway, Raven saw different humans and anthropomorphic beings on the ship. The fox felt a slight roll of the ship guessing that it might be a medium size ship. He grinned as the group entered the engine room.

Inside the space, the massive steam engine turned with its connecting rods moving. There's the thumping sound as steam expanded moving the rods going to the propeller shaft. The space is lighted by large electric lights.

Raven grinned looking at the triple expansion engine knowing that he just lived. The fox when growing up as a human always wanted to see a jug jumper in operation. (An old nickname of that type of steam engine.) He just studied it and admired the workmanship of the engine. To Raven, the engine is a sexy as a beautiful woman. The fox looked at one end of the space seeing a smaller steam engine turning a generator. He looked at the boiler seeing a firestorm in it and smelled burning petroleum knowing that this ship is an oil burner.

Woods watched as the fox look at the space knowing that Raven is enjoying himself. "It's too bad that this is the only planet you'll see this type of steam engine." He said to the fox who is nodding in agreement.

"Such a shame that the USA can't make stuff like this anymore sir. Captain, I was serving when the SR-71 Blackbird was still in service that was also another piece of art. An aircraft mostly made of titanium and went pass mach 3. When taking off, the engines were regular jet engines, after hitting mach 3; they changed into a ram jet. The industry of the USA made very nice stuff like the 1960 thru 1990 Chevy trucks. Then in the 1990's it went to a global market and our jobs went South and to China. I used to work at an aircraft hanger and I got laid off after five years. Couldn't get another job at Washington State that I want, I couldn't speak Spanish or read it sir." Raven looks at the Army Captain with his inner eyelid covering his hazel eyes. "If I could of sir, I would have gone back in the military and keep enlisting till I was eligible for retirement and go find a small town to live the rest of my days."

The human male saw his reflection in the fox's' mirrored inner eyelids. Woods thought the sight frightening and cool at the same time. He smiled at the fox beckoning him out of the space. "Let's go get your weapon back in your possession. We need your help with some stuff and the General wants to talk to you."

Raven took one last look of the steam engine grinning liking the motion of the connecting rods moving. The fox chuckled at Khyrsts' expression while leaving the space.

An hour later on the deck of the S.S. Merrimack.

Raven did his exercise routine on the deck looking at the layout of the ship he's on. The fox never thought he would end on a ship made of concrete. He read about them and knew that the United States experimented with them. The ship he is on is 600 hundred feet long with a 65 foot beam and is now doing 18 knots. "This is neat, but will I see Nitomi and Shetland again?" Raven thought to himself looking at the sky knowing that he's on another world. The fox spent the last few minutes studying sky as it got dark. When he was allowed to go on the topside, he saw the one of the planets' three moons was broken in five large pieces with thousands of smaller pieces drifting around the ruined moon. One of the deckhands walked up to him.

"The parasites did that brother." A male fox said to him.

Raven looked at the orange red fox standing next to him following his gaze. He decided to be polite to the fox. "I've been on that planet the human Japanese set up a colony. What did that?"

"A large missile did that. They thought if one of the moons blew up, it would mess up the climate of this planet. All what happen, the ocean levels got shifted and the missile wasn't powerful enough to destroy the moon, it just shattered it. That's why this planet doesn't have enough materials to build steel ships, there's stuff that eats wooden ships, this happened one hundred years ago, I am Chris one of the deckhands." Answered the fox looking at the busted moon.

Raven nodded and spoke with the fox for a few minutes and went to his quarters. Chris nodded to himself and opened a com device aiming at the sky, a light glowed green on the device. "Colleen, I found him, better get here soon to extract him. There going to use him for that operation." The fox spoke in the device and put away the device walking in the ship.

The Japanese planet colony.

Nitomi walked down the street feeling anger inside her. Someone who she has feelings for was taken from her. The female human was treated as an outsider due to her father falling in love with a woman from Norway giving her dark blue eyes and other endowments. Nitomi looked at her large breasts seeing them doing a slight bounce. She gritted her teeth knowing that Raven loved her for who she is. The black colored fox told her of his mixed heritage when he was human in that kind voice. The female human relaxed herself vowing if Raven enters her life again, she will keep a careful eye on the Kitsune.

A cell phone beeped on her waist making Nitomi picking it out of the belt compartment. The Japanese female looking at the screen playing a recording of a male fox talking to that collie Colleen. Nitomi smiled at herself being glad of the extra chip she installed being disguised as an extra memory card. Colleen asked her to get a larger memory card a few years ago when she worked at the hibernation center. "I am glad that Colleen keeps that cell phone because she didn't like the new model. So glad that we Japanese build high quality cell phones can't believe the Chinese elected to stay on Earth. I heard they're doing fine, but they can only live at some parts of that planet. Maybe someday, I'll go to where Ravens' truck is at, but that truck will be buried in unknown feet of ash and mud with ice covering it. I heard the ice age is settled and we will be allowed to explore that area soon." Nitomi thought to herself deciding to hook her cell phone to her Sony computer to find out where the message came from. She turned to head back to her home to start events in motion to retrieve the fox she loves.

Raven and Shetlands' dojo a few hours later.

Shetland kicked the target dummy feeling the jolt in his leg from the impact. The human delivered another kick followed by a punch. He shook his hand knowing that he did the hit wrong damaging some tendons. Shetland flexed his hands feeling numbness going up his arm. "Shit, I think I pulled something." The human muttered noticing that his right index finger wasn't closing.

A slim hand grabbed his injured hand making him look at Nitomi who is looking at his hand. "You did it wrong Shetland-san, you just dislocated a bone in your hand. Here let me fix it, it's going to hurt, but for a few seconds." The Japanese woman in accented English, she pulled his index finger making a snap popping sound.

The human male felt his knees buckle, but Nitomi caught him gently putting him on the floor mat. He looked at her knowing that there is more than meets the eye regarding Ravens' girlfriend. Shetland eyed her more close because the last time he saw her was the day he and Raven arrived on this planet. "Thanks, I am feeling better." The human said to the human female flexing his fingers. He took a closer look at Nitomi realizing that she has an athletic build instead of the petite he was familiar with from Ravens' stories and movies he saw on Earth. Shetland saw that she has the Japanese features on her face, but he looked at her face closer seeing Nordic cheek structure giving him the vision of Valkyries in braids.

Nitomi grinned at Shetland pulling him to his feet. "You put two to two together sooner than your friend, you must be the brains out of the both of you two. My father fell in love with an Norway female supermodel giving me my blue eyes and other endowments. Due to the way I've been treated by some of my kind, I have this thing for male anthropomorphic beings. I am looking for a black Kitsune named Raven; he was going to meet me at the Sushi place down the street."

Shetland sighed, telling Nitomi the disappearance of his friend and Colleens' guess of who might have taken him. He relaxed cleared his throat. "Raven doesn't ask personal questions regarding family trees till the third date. He is smart, but there are some things he can't do because he prefers professionals to those jobs. Don't get me wrong, I think Raven was smarter than some politicians who were running the United States when Yellowstone was nuked." He saw Nitomi flinch at the mention of nuclear weapons. Raven told him that the Japanese people despised nuclear weapons due to the Atomic bombings back in 1945.

Another female voice replied. "Nitomi, looking for Raven, I know what you did to his programming. If you waited ten seconds, I would have used this on Shetlands' injured hand." Colleen said walking in holding a medical device that looked like an old garage door opener.

"Sometimes the old school ways work better than those modern medical ways your people are teaching us. Shetlands' hand is healed and in a few hours, he will have full use of it. I knew of the tracking device you put in him, plus I know where's he's at due to what his friend just told me. Raven will need that stuff I had put in his head because those group of ex-military Americans are heading to that base of Parasites that destroyed Polis's moon. I myself personally like Americans because most of them don't call me Gaijin. They didn't deserve what happened to them Colleen." Nitomi said walking to the entrance of the Dojo. She turned to the collie and the human male grinning. "I got to pack for a trip off world; I am going to get my friend back. If you are going to join me, I'll be at the old fox place on Polis for one day." The Japanese woman left the Dojo.

Shetland shuddered and looked at Colleen. "Now when I see her, I see a group of blonde human females in braids waving long swords yelling."

The collie nodded in agreement. "You just started your job, you stay here." She saw the look of disagreement in Shetland. "No, don't argue with me, she's right. Raven has been implanted with fighting in combat and you hadn't. You will just get yourself killed and what will Raven will do if you get yourself killed."

The human knew what will his friend will done something terrible if something would of happened to him. Shetland shuddered what Raven said to him a few days after the incident in the locker room. "If they done it, I would have destroyed the school with those child molesters tied near the gas meter." Raven said in that deadly tone of voice.

"You're right Colleen, I better stay here. He was dangerous before his change; I shudder of what he will do if something happen to me." Shetland said to the collie and walked to his room. A minute later the door to his room opened and Colleen walked to his bed removing her outfit.

Shetland sat on his bed looking at the collie as her outfit dropped on the floor. The human male watched as the under garments are removed exposing the long white fur of her front. He looked at Colleens' large breasts and down to her vaginal area in long white fur.

Colleen gently removed Shetlands' clothing looking at the humans' erect organ. She pushed Shetland to a laying position and sat on his abdominal area. The collie raised herself holding his organ upright and lowered herself on it.

The human male looked as his organ slid into the white furred area feeling the warm wetness engulfing member. Shetland looked at the light pink areolas and started sucking on one of them triggering a moan of pleasure from Colleen as he started sucking on one of her large breasts. While doing his thing, he started stroking the collies' body feeling the fine sable colored fur going thru his fingers. The human male stopped sucking and gazed at her blue colored eyes stroking her long muzzle and fingered her long blonde colored head hair.

She stopped her motion for a moment replying, "We did salvage Ravens' truck from that place south of Yellowstone Park. The pyroclastic wasn't severe at that area, so the truck gotten buried in fifty feet of mud and ice. I am amazed that your friends' truck isn't damaged real badly. After we finished this, we'll go take a look at it, maybe your friend will settle down some when we get him back."

Shetland sighed stuffing his face in the thick fur area above Colleens' breasts smelling her scent. He rather loved the feeling and knew that he can never go back in having sex with human females because sex with an anthropomorphic female collie is a lot more pleasant than the few human females he had relationships with. "Sure, I'll take a look at the antique, temperamental, plus relic from the 1980's. I am curious how it faired being buried in ice and mud.", the human said to colleen.

Minutes later, the human male emptied himself in Colleen. Shetland panted giving the collie a hug feeling her fine fur on his face enjoying the feeling.

Minutes later, Colleens' ship a hanger area.

Shetland looked at Ravens' 1984 Chevy truck looking at the results of the truck being buried in ice and mud for fifty plus years. "Better keep this away from him for now. This will break his heart Colleen. I known him since grade school and if he suddenly walked in here now, my friend will break down in tears. Raven really loved this truck and I helped him keeping it running.", Said the human male looking at the truck with pity. He felt a respect for the truck like an adversary. Shetland knew the feeling from some military veterans who had a respect for certain enemies. The human male walked up to the truck feeling the feeling of knowing that something that taunted him will not be giving him troubles now because the adversary is no more.

Colleen stayed silent as Shetland walked around the truck examining it. She looked at the mottled gray coloring the truck is now due to the volcanic mud. Two of the tires are gone leaving the metal rims sitting on the hanger floor. The collie noticed that all the windows are shattered and saw mud up to the dash.

The human male didn't bother to try opening the hood because he would cause a bunch of mud pour onto the floor. He shook his head sighing, "We better make a decision to see if we're going to rebuild this truck or send it for scrap. It will take a lot of work to make it move by its own power, but will it be possible because I don't know if we can ever get parts for it."

The collie felt conflicting emotions going thru her. She liked and loathed the two tailed fox, but this human she has deep feelings for liked him as a brother or litter mate. Colleen walked up putting a hand on Shetlands' shoulder, "My people are going to fix this truck. We can get the parts and put what you call throttle body injection on the engine so that you don't half to mess with that carburetor."

Shetland gave the collie a kiss on the muzzle saying, "Thank You!! I hated that carburetor."

Colleen whispered in the human's ear, "Want to go another round with me in bed?"

Shetland grinned, nodded and the couple walked out of the hanger to Colleens' quarters'.

Planet Polis, S.S. Merrimack at a port, the next day.

Raven walked down the pier looking at the different ships seeing concrete constructed ones and others made of different materials he couldn't identify. The fox followed Capt. Woods and few others to a club in the distance. He grinned when he heard familiar heavy metal music playing from the place.

Woods looked back seeing Raven following him the place. The male human smiled to himself. He decided that he liked the black furred fox other than his odd behavior. "Well, he did say that he will do the job, but why did he want a 1984 Chevy truck for payment. I am glad the General talked him to accept gold for payment." He thought to himself entering the place wrinkling his nose in disgust of the scene inside. In the club were different humans and anthros drinking liquor with some groups' playing cards. On the stage was a few different female anthros pole dancing on poles. There are a couple of human females on the stage. Woods sighed as he went to a table with a couple of male humans drinking. "So, Ed, everything set?" He asked watching as Raven sit against a wall watching the entrance.

"So observant, that one is." Replied the male human with a crew cut looking at the black furred fox.

"A new recruit, just woke up a week ago. He was at ground zero at Yellowstone, explains his new appearance, and changes." Woods said to Ed.

Ed looked at the black furred fox wearing a green cameo vest with green shorts. The male human saw a sword hilt behind the vulpines' left shoulder. He made the mistake of staring at the fox for a second to long. The fox looked at him and mirrored inner eyelids covered the hazel cat like eyes. Ed shivered when he saw his reflection looking back at him.

Raven chuckled opening his inner eyelids and looked at the show on stage relaxing. "This is my kind of place, kind of reminds me of a club in Bangkok Thailand." He looks at the humans at his table grinning. "It's been to long for me without a hard drink, like fifty years. So do your thing while I order myself some refreshments."

Woods looked at his friends shaking his head. "He's still a squid, Navy men, spend a little time out at sea, first thing they do when they reach dry land is get a stiff drink and look at half naked women." The other guys at the table laughed slapping the fox on the back.

Raven listened to the male humans and felt the playful slaps on his back. As the fox drink, flash backs of his Navy days went thru his memories. He wondered if any of the female humans he had sex with made it off Earth. Raven tilted his head back as he felt the warm sensation coursed thru his body as the alcohol went in his system. The fox liked the feeling of getting drunk while enjoying himself. "I just want to chill for now." He thought to himself knowing that this is the last drunk till this mission is over.

The next day unknown place.

"Oh crap, where am I now?" Raven thought to himself as he got up. His head throbbed as he focuses his surroundings. The fox found himself in a bright lit small room. Raven pulled his inner eyelids shut and the pain subsided making him look at a round portal. The fox went to the door of the compartment when the room tilted. He steadied himself and knew that he's on another watercraft. Concentrating, Raven cleared his mind feeling the craft he's now on. The fox heard an engine running at a high rpm with a deep sound. The fox smelled the air smelling a brine smell with a faint resin smell. He grinned knowing that he's on a pleasure craft. "Now I am on someone's yacht, great." Raven muttered as he went topside.

On the main deck, Woods' looked at the shoreline coming closer in view. The human turned to the female lynx standing next to him giving the feline a kiss. "Soon they will be evicted from this planet love."

"Get a room you two, where am I at now sir?" Asked a familiar voice.

The male human looked at Raven walking toward them. He heard a feline hiss from Khyrst as the lynx looked at the fox. "Easy my love, we need him. Just forget the time when he called you a cat."

"He's rude; I just want to teach him a lesson on how to treat me." Answered Khyrst putting on a smile because she knew the fox is suffering from a hangover and the effects of the drug she slipped in one of his drinks.

Woods' walked up to Raven shrugging, "I am sorry Raven, you passed out at the bar. Khyrst and I had to carry you onboard."

The fox shrugged saying, "I am sorry sir, and I'll take it easy from now on." Raven sighs looking at the shore line and at the crewmembers on the yacht seeing different anthros. He noted that Chris is missing and hoped that the friendly young fox is ok.

S.S. Merrimack, hours later.

Chris did his duties on the front part of the ship wondering if he will see Raven again. He liked the fox other than his strange personality. The young fox kneeled down to patch an area when a white colored spacecraft hovered in front of his ship.

An accented female voice coming out of a loudspeaker blared, "S.S. Merrimack, heave to and be prepared to be boarded."

"Crap, Nitomi is here and she sounds pissed." Chris muttered seeing the Japanese flag painted on the side of the hovering craft. The bow of the craft pivoted to the front of the Merrimack. The fox watched as it hovered above the center of his ship and ten black suited figures repealed on to the deck.

Seconds later he was on the deck with his crew mates with his hands on his head. A hand grabbed his muzzle and he was looking at dark blue eyes framed with Nordic features mixed with Japanese. Chris was forced onto his feet and marched to one of the ropes where he was tied to it. The fox saw one of the other figures running out of the ship with his sea bag.

A minute later, the fox saw the Merrimack growing smaller from view. Nitomi sat next to him. "Haven't seen you since the hibernation center Nitomi-san." Chris said to her in Japanese.

The Japanese female shrugged replying in Japanese, "I had to get you off that ship because Colleen is a few hours behind me."

"What do you mean she's three hours behind you?" The fox asked Nitomi.

She opened her hand showing the fox a few computer chips, "I sneaked on her ship taking a few pieces out of the hyper drive computer. It will take three hours to install and calibrate the new chips. I know you contacted her, but I thought we were friends Chris." Nitomi said to Chris petting him between the ears.

The fox stayed calm because it annoyed him when a human petted him, "We are still friends Nitomi-san, and I thought that your people will not help you because some treat you as an outsider."

"I still have friends in high places, but the Japanese don't like it when someone takes a guest from a town they say he can stay at. My people said Raven can live at the town, but they got pretty upset when I told them that he was kidnapped. Now they want to save face by retrieving him and return him home." She said to him looking at Chris with her gaze, "Now we have a few hours to talk. Tell me how to treat a male fox and where do you want to live and work after this is over?"

Chris stared at Nitomis' large breasts because he knew it annoyed her. The fox didn't find human females attractive because he prefers female wolves. He directed his gaze at the Japanese female eyes grinning at her annoyed look. "Well Nitomi-san, we male foxes' prefer the female making the first move. Raven told me all about you and he was trained by a group in the U.S. Navy to let Japanese females make the first move. He was told if he made a move to you, you'll consider something like that as rude. So, you got to make the first move, but most of us male morphs find you human females lacking body hair."

The Japanese female held her anger in check looking at the fox sitting next to her, "I know Chris-san, you're very cute for a fox, but I prefer a black colored pelt on foxes with an extra tail." Nitomi said to the fox returning the grin and the two talked some more.

Colleens' ship, orbit around Polis.

The female sable colored collie looked at the fractured moon near her ship from the bridge window. She wondered why some members from the American military had interest of this planet. "They must have had a request from the inhabitants to evict the Parasites. Raven did say that his countrymen had this habit of dealing with other peoples' problems when they were asked to intervene.", Colleen thought to herself thinking of the human Shetland. The collie rather be at the Japanese colony planet with Shetland making love with him than getting his friend back. She looked at the planet wondering if Nitomi is at the planet now waiting for her. Colleen heard of a Nissan class space corvette leaving a few hours before her ship left. The collie gritted her teeth remembering the three hour delay due to the hyper drive computer needed some chips replaced. She knew that somehow Nitomi knew of Chris, one of her contacts on this planet.

One of the helmsmen, a male lynx replied, "Orbit achieved, awaiting orders maam."

"Prep my shuttle, I got to go to one of my contacts on this planet LT.", Colleen said to the feline who nodded.

Hours later, the old fox house.

Colleen walked up the path looking at the woods as she walked to the old house. She walked up to the door knocking on the old wooden door, "Nensi, can I come in?"

From within the old house, a male voice answered, "Come in Colleen, we've been expecting you."

The collie walked in the house seeing an old male fox drinking a cup of tea. Sitting near him is a familiar Japanese human female looking at her with dark blue eyes, "Hello Colleen, you made it." Said Nitomi pouring a cup of tea from an old ceramic teapot.

"Nitomi, I stopped a certain ship a few hours ago to talk to a male fox named Chris. The crew told me that earlier this morning a Japanese corvette stopped their ship and some Japanese personal took a crewmember off the ship. Do you know anything about it?", Asked Colleen remembering to be polite to the Japanese woman.

Nitomi took a sip of tea placing the cup in a saucer on the table. She took a napkin dabbing her lips, "I did talk to a fox named Chris, after we talked, he wanted to go to another job on a newer ship. Don't worry Colleen-san; he's at the northern continent on his new ship. I'll give you the name of his new ship after a certain black furred fox is returned to me." The Japanese female said to her and grinned, "Feel like teaming up with me and some friends of mine?"

The sable colored collie was about to give Nitomi a piece of her mind when she was interrupted, "Divided you both shall fail, but together, both shall succeed in getting the Kitsune back.", Said Nensi drinking his tea.

Both females looked at each other and shook hands. Colleen replied, "Till this is over, we shall work together. Afterwards, we'll go our separate ways."

"Aw Colleen-san, I thought we were friends, but Separate ways was my favorite Journey song.", Answered Nitomi giving the collie a grin.

The collie sighed sitting next to the old male fox accepting a cup and saucer.

Western continent of the planet polis.

The group of humans and anthros walked down the path toward a high tech looking city. Raven looked around on point at the left of the group holding an M-16 rifle. The fox would rather have an older M-14 rifle because he prefers a larger caliber round. "Got to make due what's given to you, but I am more into 308 or 30-06.", He thought to himself looking back at the yacht that brought the group on this place of land. Right now, the watercraft is pulling to open water. Raven moved his right hand feeling the handle of the Japanese Katana behind his left shoulder thinking of Nitomi.

Woods looked at his left not seeing the short fox, but he knew the fox is there. "That black shade to his pelt makes him impossible to see him at night.", The human thought to himself just seeing a bit of white off of one of his twin tails disappearing in a bush.

Khyrst walked behind the human male who is her mate. The female lynx started to thaw towards the two tail fox. She decided to like him a little, but the feline did like how smart Raven is.

Woods put a fist in the air and did a gesture after the unit stopped. A second later, Raven was beside the Army Capt. The human male turned to the fox, "Be careful, there's an amphibian that's like a giant frog. They like to stay near the trail and use their tongues like the ones on Earth to catch prey."

Raven nodded and sharpens his senses holding his rifle steadier. He resumed walking on point when the group started walking again. Something struck him on the back and pulled the fox backwards. Raven found himself in a slimy area and the outside vanished in darkness.

"Something just ate Raven!", Yelled Ed firing his rifle at the large shape as it jumped on the trail. The human saw a gigantic frog at the front of the group. It got ready to jump again when it started to spasm.

Woods started to fire his M-16 at the amphibian, the rifle rounds bounced of the frogs' hide. He saw the frog started to jump, but it ended up on its' back twitching. The human saw the abdominal area doing something gross as something was moving in it. A sword emerged from the white abdominal area and did a vertical cut and the intestines spilled out of the frog.

A black colored fox head emerged with the ears laid back looking at the group with reflective eyes. In the jaws of Raven was a section of frogs' intestine. The vulpine did a shriek and leaped out of the innards spitting out the intestine from his jaws. "Did I tell you guys that I can hold my breath for five minutes.", The fox said to the group looking at the dead amphibian with disgust. Raven walked to one of the rear legs taking his Katana amputating a leg looking at the group, "Anyone for frog legs, I heard they taste like chicken."

"Reminds me of that one scene from the movie Alien, the first movie.", Said one of the humans in the group and Raven chuckled.

Woods looked at the black colored fox covered in blood with different fluids from the frog. The human male ordered the camp set up for the night and set up the night watch. He went to talk with Raven as the fox cleaned his weapons due to get the frog stuff off them.

Khyrst had the first watch a few hours later and did one of her circuits of the camp. She went to Ravens' area to check on the fox; after all, the fox survived getting eaten by a giant frog. The feline saw him bent over sharply with his head between his legs, licking his scrotum sack.

Raven looked at her saying, "Yes, may I help you?"

"Are you masturbating? There are a few female humans and athros who can help you." Khyrst asked the fox.

The fox bent between his legs and licked himself a few more times and looked at her again. "I am alright; I have a girlfriend at the Japanese colony planet. I wasn't masturbating; I was cleaning my nuts getting this frog crap out of my pelt." Raven said stretching himself and looked at the feline, "I am sorry for calling you a cat and I admit that I'll be friends with you if you don't mind a two tailed fox as a friend. Just wish there was a place where I can wash myself at, but I guess that will half to wait till this mission is over."

Khyrst look at Raven with mixed feelings. The lynx didn't know what to make of this anthro. A few hours ago, he was eaten by a giant frog and escaped. She just caught him cleaning his nuts and now he wants to be a friend of hers, "I'll be a friend of yours, but don't you ever call me a cat or you will regret it."

Then he just did a strange thing, he shook her hand, "The name is Raven Fox, ex human male who was in his late thirties before a National park near his home was nuked. I like hunting, fishing and looking at the night sky. Use to have a really neat 1984 Chevy truck, but right now I don't know it's current wear abouts after fifty years. My dislikes are internet trolls, bullies and liberals."

The feline sighed and shook the Kitsunes' outstretched hand noting the strength in the grip. "Better watch myself near him, I know a deadly opponent when I see one.", She thought to herself looking at those hazel catlike eyes. Khyrst and Raven talked after her watch was over. The feline did see his file when Woods found out that he and the human was revived. Being a lynx with an ingrained sense of honor in helping a friend in need, she loved the part of what Raven did in the locker room. "What would you done if those boys have their way with your friend?"

Raven gave the lynx a cold look, "Those monsters weren't part of the gay community. There is a difference between gay men and child molesters. When I was in the Navy, I was friends with a few gay men who had to keep their sexual preference secret or they would have been kicked out of the military. To me, they seem normal like any guy you meet on the street and had a beer with. A couple of those guys, I trusted more than some normal guys I had in my division. As for what I would have done with those monsters that wanted to have sex with my friend if they done while their fat ass coach sat in his office not lifting a finger. I would have knocked them unconscious and tied them to the gas meter with their coach and destroyed the school." The fox said to the Khyrst remembering the day after the incident of the coach knocking him on the floor by kicking him hard. One of the teachers saw the incident and the coach was arrested for assaulting a minor. Raven had his revenge by pissing in the fuel tank of the coach's car along with pouring a one pound bag of sugar with his piss. The fox smiled to himself knowing that the rest of the season was cancelled and it took almost two school years for stuff to settle down.

The lynx had more respect for the fox liking how he comes to a friends' rescue. Khyrst watched as the fox leaned back and gazed at the night sky. She listened as Raven told her of the times he hunted deer and elk with either a crossbow or a 30-06 Winchester rifle.

The next day, JSS Amagi.

Colleen looked out the view port looking at the Parasite city base in the distance surrounded by jungle. The collie wondered where the American military unit was at. She heard a couple of the Japanese crewmembers talked to each other in Japanese.

"They're deciding where to land at to start the assault.", Nitomi said walking up to the collie. The Japanese female looked at the city studying it. Suddenly there's an explosion at a part of the city. "Looks like those Americans just started the assault.", she said to Colleen.

The city.

Woods yelled a command and the group ran to the largest building. Gunfire erupted from the building taking down a few soldiers running to the structure. The human ordered the rest to a defensive stance.

The street shook as a dark shape showed up from around a building. Raven looked at the vehicle as the turret turned to his group and fired. He is knocked down by the concussion of the blast. He shook himself seeing a few more of the troops near him dead. "Alright, I had enough of this shit, time for me to hijack a tank.", the fox muttered to himself.

Khyrst held her human mate as the fox ran to the tank that was firing at the unit. She saw him climb to the top and started working on the hatch.

Raven expected to use a cutting tool to gain access to the tank. The fox was surprised that he managed to open the hatch. He looked in seeing five humans operating the tank. Raven unsheathed his Katana going inside the tank.

Woods regained conscious seeing his lynx mate looking at him with concern. "What's the casualties?", he asked Khyrst.

"We lost six and have eight wounded.", she said looking at the tank that is not moving.

"Why aren't we firing at that tank?", he asked.

The lynx was about to reply when it moved again and started to fire at the building. She grinned a feline grin when it started to go up the stairs and started to fire inside the building.

Raven is having the time of his life when he ran the tank in to the building. He looked in the sights seeing humans and beings that looked cross between a praying mantis and ants. The fox just kept driving the tank inside the building hearing a occasional squish as he ran over a bug and human. Raven still liked humans, but he hated traitors and mercenaries who worked for the enemy. He saw a group of humans setting up an anti-tank weapon, but a shell from the main gun took out that group of humans.

Woods ordered the unit to regroup and start the strike at the building. As the group went inside, there's the sound of another battle starting. The human male saw a white colored spaceship strafing the base. "Better hurry up the Japanese just showed up.", he yelled to the unit.

The tank shook and stopped moving making the fox cuss. He leaped out of the tank holding his sword. Raven looked at the eight humans and bugs in front of him. The fox studied the humans seeing Caucasians and different races. He gripped his Katana tighter and walked to the group.

Woods group walked pass the tank hearing the sound of a sword striking flesh and something else with a yell of pain. The sounds stopped when the group walked around the tank. He saw a panting black fox cover in human blood and the green blood of insects.

Japanese voices shouted from the outside with more explosions. Raven turned to the group of Americans. "Better make yourselves scarce, they're looking for me. I'll delay them as long as I can." The fox salutes Woods, "It's been an honor fighting along side of my countrymen again, but next time call me if you need my help again sir."

Woods returned the salute and the American unit vanished down a hallway. Raven leaned against the tank sighing and started cleaning his weapons. A human female hugged him. "My Kitsune, let's get you cleaned up and back home. You're a mess, what did they do to you Raven-san." Nitomi said to the fox leading him out of the building as members of the ships' crew swept the building of remaining personal.

Raven leaned against his Japanese friend wondering what will happen to the American wounded. He saw a familiar sable collie putting them on her ship. The fox leaned his head against Nitomis' breasts feeling the softness.

JSS Amagi, hours later. Guest bathroom.

The fox had to spend almost an hour cleaning his pelt of the blood, insect blood and digestive fluids from the giant frog that tried to eat him. Raven spent another half hour drying his fur thinking to himself. He shut off the fur drier and walked to his stateroom assigned to him. The fox knew that the ship is on its way home to the Japanese colony planet by the sounds of the craft. Ravens' sharp hearing heard the whine of the hyper drive, but humans can't hear the sounds his vulpine ears pick up. He settled into his rack looking at the other rack in the small stateroom wondering who his room mate is. The smell receptors in his muzzle were slightly messed up from the trip in the frogs' stomach, but he heard they'll be fine in a day or two. Raven was told by the ships' doctor that he wants to see him after the morning meal. He went to close his eyes when the door to the stateroom opened.

Nitomi walked in the stateroom grinning. "I forgot to tell you something, I am your room mate Raven-san.", the Japanese female walked to the foot of his bed removing her clothing.

The fox just watched as Nitomi removed her bra and panties. Raven licked his nose pad when he saw her large breasts with large areolas. He looked at her skin seeing a very slight tan shade to it. Raven is moved aside as Nitomi laid on her back making her large breasts settle on her chest making a couple of pleasant pillows.

She gently grabbed the Kitsune stroking him watching as his penis unsheathed. Nitomi grabbed his waist looking at the vulpine' penis. The Japanese female pulled Ravens' waist to hers feeling the tapered organ impaling her. She sighed with pleasure as the vulpine' penis entered her vaginal canal.

Raven rolled his eyes as he felt his organ penetrated Nitomis' love canal. The fox rested his head between his friends' large breasts. He felt the Japanese female pushed her breasts together wrapping around the sleek head of Raven. Raven like the feeling, he tit fucked a few human females who had the equipment for that fun. But right now, his head is getting the same treatment his human penis has gotten.

Nitomi love the feeling of a vulpine' penis in her. She moved her hands to Ravens' ass that is bucking against her. The Japanese female caught the firm skinny ass and massaged it with both hands occasionally stroking his twin tails. Nitomi looked at the hazel catlike eyes gazing at her from between her large breasts. "You want to suck on my breasts Raven-san?"

Raven shifted and put his muzzle to one of Nitomis' large breasts and started sucking. The fox gently massaged the breast while gently sucking on it. He heard the Japanese female gasp as he kneaded the melon gently. Raven went to the other breast and started the same routine. The fox grinned as he heard Nitomi whimper as she orgasm.

She sighed as the rush of pleasure ran its course. Nitomi stroked her lover tracing the contour of his vulpine head. The Japanese female heard a shriek from the fox as she felt him empty in her. She stroked him as he rested his head between her breasts and fell asleep on her. "Well, he was tired, but I don't think I'll do another male human after experiencing a Kitsunes' organ inside me.", Nitomi muttered to herself falling asleep feeling the penis exiting her. She felt emptiness when the penis returned inside Raven.

The fox looked at the sleeping Japanese female looking at her Nordic features. "Once you have fur there's going back to bare skin Nitomi-san. But I love you my lover." He said in a whisper stroking her hair.

A few months later, Colleens' ship.

Raven walked being guided by Shetland and Colleen while being blindfolded. "Just walk a few more steps Raven." Shetland said to his friend.

The fox walked a few more steps and felt the blindfold get yanked off him. "Wow, you found her! I just don't know what to say, but thank you for finding her Shetland."

Sitting in the middle of the hanger is a 1984 white Chevy truck. Raven walked to the drivers' door opening it. He knew from the interior, it's his truck that is sitting in the hanger. The fox opened the hood seeing a familiar 350 engine, but it had a different air cleaner. "So the carb was beyond repair?" Raven asked seeing Colleen nodding.

"We had to take her down to the frame and clean and overhaul everything." Shetland said to his friend.

"I am just speechless, I just can't think of anything to say but thank you for everything.", Raven said to the collie and his best friend.

The next day, town of the Japanese colony.

Raven walked out of the store with a bag in his hands to his truck. He put the bag in the bed and walked to the drivers' door being stopped by a female lynx and human male. "How are things going sir and Khyrst?"

The human male grinned. "I am seeing how you're doing Raven. Everything is fine at Polis, the Japanese finished off the rest of that base after we left. We did get our wounded returned to us to let you know. The planet went in our control when the last of those Parasites were killed."

"They had some North Koreans and mercenaries working for them sir.", The fox said to Woods.

"I know, but we're ready if they want to return in the future.", Woods hands him a device. "If you want to visit us in the future, call me.", He walks away with the lynx.

"Do the same if you need me, no need to knock me out.", The fox said to the departing couple. Woods turns back and gives him a salute and the fox returns it.

Raven starts his truck and navigates the crowded streets to Nitomis' home where he lives now. The fox thinks of his Japanese mate loving sleeping against her smooth skin.
