#24 of Star Fox Chronicles


At first I was surprised. It was something that Lucian Blaze had never told me before. Now I know that not only did he have a brother teaching me in the ways of magic, he also had another brother. He escorted me one day on the way to a lesson with Snowclaw when his other brother joined up with us, he was a tall black dragon who's wisdom extended beyond his years. His name was Lucian Equinox, that was the other thing, all three of them were named Lucian. I smiled at the thought. Blaze and Equinox remained at the side for the rest of the lesson with Snowclaw, when he was finished, he spoke to me.

"You still have a lot to learn, but you are making some progress." I took it as a compliment.

"Thanks," I said and gave him a quick hug as we departed. I couldn't tell it at first but it seemed that Snow was taken aback by this little thank you I gave. He quickly left as Eq and Blaze came forward.

"Nice move," Eq said as Blaze was giggling a little bit, "I don't think Snow was expecting something like that to happen. He's a little rough around the edges."

"A little?" Blaze asked still giggling. I looked at the clock and noticed it was getting late, I quickly thanked them for their time and headed off back to the Star Fox house for some sleep.

A few days later day I got a call from Blaze.

"What's up Blaze?" I asked when I answered. Eq then quickly stepped right next to Blaze and waved.

"We want to talk to you about something," Blaze replied, "will you meet us by the cliffs a few miles out of town?"

"Sure thing," I said, "meet you in an hour." I turned off the console and headed over to the cliff area quickly while pondering what they wanted to talk about. I found the two waiting for me at the base of a large cliff.

"Hey guys," I said as they spotted me approaching them, "what did you want to talk to me about?"

"It's about that hug you gave to Snow during our last meeting," Eq started off, "he hasn't uttered a word since then. He isn't exactly a blabbermouth, but he hasn't even scolded Blaze since then."

"Really..." I wondered.

"He only stays at his room, meditating," Blaze said, "coming out only to eat, if any."

"He'll kill us if he finds out about this," Equinox said, "but I peeked into his sanctum the other day and... He was smiling." That little bit caught me off guard.

"Because he likes me or something?" I asked in wonder.

"We dunno," Blaze said, "such a thing has never occurred before. Perhaps you made him touch the part of his soul that was hidden the most." Equinox started to explain what he meant.

"Each of us has it's own traits and abilities, but since we were created from the same person, we have a part of the other two in us, though not so powerful. I pass on my wisdom and logic mind; Snow, a bit of magic and coldness and Blaze, the sense of justice and the connection with those he loves. Perhaps a plan is due."

"For Snow?" I asked him.

"You know," Blaze said, "Snow likes you so we're going to trick him into revealing his hidden feelings for you."

"So what's your idea?" I asked interested.

"Find a way for Snow to save you from a life threatening situation," Eq said smiling. I thought for a bit and discussed my idea.

"I've got another friend from the academy that will pretend to attack me, disguised in protective gear so he looks like a Claxan member."

"Sounds cool," Blaze said, go get him if you can and we can do this today if we wanted to. I nodded and left the area, only to come back a half an hour later with a cloaked figure walking right beside me.

"Who is it if I may know?" Eq asked. The figure removed the hood to expose an orange fox, slightly shorter than I am.

"I'm Yashono Megami, but you can call me Jason." he said and Jason gave a bow.

"So, we all set for the plan?" I asked. Everyone nodded and I continued. "Eq, You go get Snow while we set up, we'll be up at that high cliff over here." Eq nodded and headed back to town as we walked the trail up to the top of the cliff. I got my sword out while Jason got a blaster and pulled his hood over him.

"So everyone knows their positions," I checked.

"Sure do," Jason said. Blaze nodded and took a sword out, giving his own side a slash, then laid down and pretended to be unconscious. I gave myself a quick slash at my right shoulder to look like I've been wounded, while Jason aimed at me carefully and fired a couple shots. They hit my left shin and right knee. I gritted my teeth at the pain, but I was able to stand after a few minutes. After that I nodded and we ran around a bit, pretending to spar to tire ourselves out a bit, so we could make things look more convincing when they arrived, and it didn't take that long for them to come back.

Eq was walking towards Ryan's location that he specified, with Snow right by his side.

"What do you think of this place Snow?" Eq asked him.

"It has a certain serenity to it," Snow replied then quickly sharpened and shushed Eq before he could reply, "did you hear that? Blaster fire, metal clashing, and...is that Blaze I am feeling, brother?"

"It seems so," Eq replied, "along with two more, young Mr. Lewis and someone else."

"They are fighting," Snow proclaimed.

"We have to do something, come on," Eq shouted as they ran towards the cliff area.

I quickly noticed the two approaching and we switched to a real sparring session, Jason taking out a short sword and dueled me with them, it was more difficult with the wounds, but it was more convincing when Snow and Eq showed up in our sights. I quickly collapsed on my good knee looking wounded, while Jason held both swords to my neck.

"Ryan!!!" Eq shouted in shock, his acting was quite good. Jason looked me in the eyes as he rose his sword to the air, preparing to strike me down. I looked over at Snow from the corner of my eye. He wasn't saying anything, but he had one hand raised and made a sweep movement, instantly Jason sword was knocked out of his hand and over the cliff. I could easily see the fires of hell burning in Snow's eyes. That was good because I could tell that it was working. Jason looked on surprised, but knew his place and took out the blaster. Snow frowned in concentration as Jason dropped the blaster in pain, I looked at said blaster and noticed it was red hot from the burn marks on the ground around it. Jason then began to panic, and as we planned he started to run, what happened next was not what was planned. Snow tapped the ground with his foot and all of a sudden Jason's feet were trapped under some rings of ice. I looked on dumbfounded as Jason tried to get free. Snow concentrated and the rings of ice went up to Jason's knees. Eq noticed me getting worried and started speaking to me in my mind.

'Don't worry, I foresaw this, just let it flow.' I looked back at Jason who gave an audible "Ow" as Snow approached him. He got close enough to Jason that he could see into his hood. Snow snarled.

"Wrong choice fox," with another tap on the ground the ice rings broke away, and almost like in slow motion, he gave a sidekick to Jason, sending him right over the cliff. I had to keep myself from shouting his name, but then remembered what Eq said just a few seconds ago.

'Who's going to catch him?' I asked.

'I had someone following us from close behind so he could catch Jason in this scenario.' I nodded. I could hear Blaze whispering the both of us.

"Told you it would work." Snow approached me quickly as I tried to stand myself up.

"I take it you are able to stand," Snow said.

"I'm fine," I said, "but why did you do that? You could have killed him."

"That was my intention actually," he replied, "did I succeed?" I quickly looked at Eq who gave a quick nod.

"You must have," I said, "I doubt anyone could survive that fall." I could feel more pain now and collapsed to my knees, clutching my shoulder.

"Let me take a look at that," Snow said and examined the wound, "Equinox, can you take Blaze to the hospital? Our friend here looks like he needs some special treatment."

"Sure thing brother, but what happened to him?" Eq asked.

"Take a look," Snow said pointing at the wound. Eq looked at it and comprehension drew across his face, he looked at me and spoke with his mind.

'What did you kill with that sword?'

'Not sure,' I replied, 'why?'

'Snow will explain it to you. I must take Blaze to a hospital, even during a set up, he managed to cut himself too deep.' With that Eq picked up Blaze and walked away. Snow helped me stand up.

"I can fix the wound," he said, "but I will need potions I only have back home."

"I understand," I said as I put my sword away behind my back. Snow motioned my hand on his shoulder and teleported away. It felt cold at first and I felt like I was hovering from the ground, but soon I was on solid ground and the surroundings led us to a different area, it was a room. It was the perfect replica of a medieval library, complete with an alchemy lab.

"Nice place," I commented and he nodded.

"I just need the recipe," he said and sat me down in a nearby chair, before looking around the bookshelves. "I suppose you are quite curious to know what's so bad with your wound, aren't you?"

"Yeah..." I replied.

"I can't really know how that fox managed to get it, but his blade seemed to be stained with sapith oxides," he explained, "It's the result of sapithite ore being exposed to air. It liquefies into a powerful electrical current conductor, that's usually used in robots." That would explain things with all the robots I destroyed in my many battles with the Claxan and their Dawx Rebellion. Snow continued explaining.

"But to organic beings it is a pretty strong toxin. If it gets into your bloodstream, you're as good as dead. Luckily for you, when you come in contact with it through a wound, it tries to kill your flesh before entering your bloodline. I have enough time to prepare the antivenom. Here it is," he said pulling a book off of the shelf and reading through the pages.

"How do you clean the blade if it gets infected," I asked him curiously so I could do it later.

"With a solution of the antivenom, water and glycerin, It neutralizes the toxin and washes it away," Snow answered. He gathered a few vials and organized them on the table. I continued looking at him throughout this time. He started then mixing liquids until it got to a clear white color. After a few more minutes of mixing he came up to me with a slightly larger vial, with a vicious looking red substance inside of it.

"This will burn a bit," he said and took some of the liquid in his hands and started to rub over my wounded shoulder, which was blue and swollen. It burned a bit and made me grimace a bit.

"Hold tightly," he said, "It won't last much longer." He wrapped the wound in a bandage, pressing the substance against it so it works more effectively. Soon enough, I felt the pain dull and I smiled.

"It might be uncomfortable, but as soon as it is done, every trace of the toxin is gone, so is a one shot. You will be fine," He said and did something I thought not anyone on Corneria ever saw, he was smiling.

"I haven't seen your smile before," I told him, "it's nice."

"I don't do it often," he said, "rarely something pleases me to the point of making me smile."

"Any examples?" I asked him.

"Well," he began, "wiping out a particularly annoying enemy, knowing someone got what they deserved, knowing I don't have to worry about the health someone I care about. That's Blaze's trait, as you undoubtedly know about this characteristic of us three."

"Someone you care about?" I asked, "like who?"

"My brothers, for example. Blaze always drives me mad, but he is part of me as much as I am part of him and Equinox, and we are part of him." He paused for a second before he continued. "There was also this girl I met on my travels. I cared deeply for her."

"She must mean a lot to you," I said.

"Indeed." he replied, "It has been years since I last saw her. I don't even know if she's still alive. If she didn't create a sense of danger, she might not be. I rescued her from a blizzard, that's how we met. I need to tell you something, Ryan. But first you must swear you'll keep it secret. If you tell someone, ever, I will send you on an one-way trip to your planet, with no ship and no space suit." he looked at me menacingly and I nodded.

"I understand," I said.

"Everyone that knows me, and are alive, always think high of this cold, solemn look of mine. They say I am strong, they look to me in awe, but..." he sat in the chair next to me and hesitated a little bit.

"Yes...?" I asked waiting patiently.

"They think i am like this because I have no problems. let me tell you, they're wrong. The time I spent with that girl were the happiest days of my life. Sometimes I feel I want to crack down, lose it completely, be at peace with my feelings, but I am strong, so I can't do it. I..." he covered his face with his hands, "I... I don't want to be strong anymore!" With that he started to sob. I looked at him feeling sorry. I didn't know what I could try to help him feel better, and then it hit me.

"It's okay," I said wrapping an arm around his shoulder, "sometimes you just need to cry. You'll feel better afterwards."

"I am strong... I am strong..." he kept repeating mindlessly as he cried.

"Sometimes," I began, "crying is the stronger thing to do." I rubbed over his back trying to comfort him.

"To cry is... to be strong," he said, "somewhere deep in me that makes sense."

"There there," I said, "it's okay, just let it out."

"I loved her," he said, "that is the truth. I didn't simply care for her, I loved her truly." I smiled and gave him a hug. He smiled and returned the hug, while we embraced I could feel it, the beating of his heart. I had hardly ever felt anything warmer to the touch.

"Thank you." he said, "I don't think anyone can understand pain to this degree, but you make a good job."

"Thanks," I said. He broke the hug and asked me another question.

"That did me good, but what about you? What are your problems?"

"I'm just concerned," I replied, "The Claxan really likes to cause trouble. I feel constantly like I'm a target."

"I feel there's more." He said, "I'm not a mind reader like my older brother, but I feel something in you runs deep... almost as old as you are to Lylat."

"Like...?"

"As I said, I can't know, but it is a worry, like if you longed for something. It has to do with blood ties."

"Well... I do think about Earth and my family sometimes," I said.

"It is it then." He said, "Somewhere deep, your heart lies in this Earth. But you have formed deep bonds with those in this system as well; Now your heart and soul are divided."

"Is that bad?" I asked.

"If we discover the way you came to be here and find some way to grant you free travel between here and there, or at least to your family, no it isn't."

"We can only hope," I said, "but I really like it here though so I'm very patient."

"You are now," he said, "If not healed, such vision may scar you badly." He very quickly became wide eyed as if he remembered something.

"Goddamned memory of mine!!" he shouted.

"Huh?" I was surprised.

"I forgot about a side effect of the antivenom," he said.

"Which is...?"

"Actually, you will be feeling it right..." As if on cue I started breathing heavily. I was instantly feeling sexual need, like a aphrodisiac effect.

"Now.." he gave a sigh.

"I," I began, "feel a little needy now." I quickly got an erection easily noticeable as it pushed against my pants.

"After the toxin is cleared," Snow explained, "the antivenom concentrates on a man's testicles or a woman's ovary. That causes the production of a hormone in your brain which causes heightened sexual pleasure." I was really feeling the need for some action right then and there, and was willing to do anything to get this urge satisfied.

"It does not leave long-term effects per se," he said, "but the sensibility will keep increasing until either you go into a nymphomaniacal mindless frenzy or your testes burst from sperm overproduction." With that he reached over and touched my erection. "I will have to keep you stable until the potion is cleared from your system."

"How long will that take?" I asked.

"Is your metabolism rate normal?" he asked me as he grasped my erection tightly, stroking it a little bit.

"I think so..." I said breathing heavily, "why?"

"Then," he said, "it shall take around twelve hours. With a higher rate, it would take around three, and with a slow one, it could take months."

"Months?" I asked.

"Yes, it is quite unpleasant for anyone involved. Happily, yours will be relatively quick," He said smiling, "either way we have plenty to do." After saying that he pulled me into a passionate kiss on the lips. I was a little surprised but got into the motion and returned the kiss graciously. His tongue was about as rough as sandpaper, not that it was a bad thing, at all. I enjoyed it as he stroked over my erection a little more. I let him in to explore around my mouth as he continued the treatment. Snow broke the kiss and proceeded to remove my pants. I arched up a little bit to allow him to remove it more easily. He pulled my underwear off along, exposing my cock as well, the antivenom was definitely doing something to my intimates, as my penis was discolored, currently purple and swollen. I looked at it with shock as Snow frowned.

"Luckily for you," he explained, "I have plenty of experience in dealing with saphit antivenom side effects, there are not many that would agree to have sex with you after seeing your penis like this. Luckily again, these changes are in appearance only. After we clear some of the extra sperm, it will return to normal." I was about to reply when he started taking my cock into his muzzle, which made me go limp and give a moan in pleasure. "Although the strange appearance, you still tastes just as good." He said just long enough before diving onto my cock once more.

"Thanks," I said giving out another moan of pleasure. He continued his amazing oral work by slowly massaging over my sac, causing me to moan again. He definitely knew his way around a cock. After a little while he pulled off my cock and started to stroke it at a very fast rate, and I was very quickly approaching my climax. Surely enough that was what happened as I shot several times of my cum into the air. Snow grinned and fired some cold shots at the cum midair, causing it to freeze right in the air, after I finished cumming he gathered it all in an empty vial and stood up.

"Do you feel better?" he asked me.

"Yeah," I looked down at my cock to see the color return to normal. I was still as a matter of fact, extremely horny.

"The frenzy is gone for now," he said, "but you will be back into it soon enough. This procedure is mere formality, since many believe that traces of the antivenom come off in the first load, better safe than sorry. Come..." He motioned me to a nearby door and I obeyed, stripping my shirt off in the process so I was entirely naked. Beyond the door was a dark stairway leading to a basement, we followed down a spiral staircase for some time. When we got to the bottom we were at a stairwell, leading into darkness.

"Where are we going?" I asked. Snow replied with a smile.

"Since it is... demanding for me to take care of you till the effects pass, I will leave you to my little... pet." He pulled out a small bright marble from his pocket and tossed it into the well where it splashed into the water.

"What did you just throw in?" I asked him.

"I could ramble about in the workings of the mystical energies to transport matter over space," he explained, "but I shorten it to this: a summoning crystal."

"Summon what?" I asked.

"You'll see," he said and motioned for me to look inside the well. I wasn't prepared for what happened next. From out of the water emerged a large set of tentacles, all of which look like they belong to a plant. Snow rested a hand on my shoulder and spoke again.

"They will take good care of you," Snow gave the being a hand gesture and it quickly wrapped each tentacle around my limbs, lifting me quite a few feet into the air. "I will come back in a few hours with some food. Have fun!" With that statement he left the well heading back upstairs, leaving me to face whatever this tentacle monster has in store for me. Two more tentacles came up close, one up to my mouth while the other started curving it's way to my anus. I looked down to see a third tentacle rise up from the depths. It seemed different than the others, as if it was made purely of water. It rose up until it matched up with my face.

"Uh..." was all I could say when it started to lower, gliding slightly over my chest. The feeling was strangely pleasurable. It stopped just over my cock, just before it latched on to it. Instead of feeling cold however, it was surprisingly warm. I couldn't help but give a moan in response. Right on cue, the other tentacles began doing their work, the first one began poking at my ass. I protested a little in the surprise, but it was no use as the tentacle penetrated and with precision brushed over my prostate. I let out another moan and the other tentacle took advantage of my moaning to penetrate my mouth. I moaned in protest, which quickly turned into pleasure. The one in my mouth pushed back and forth deep, but not deep enough to make me gag, while the one in my ass pushed deep, brushing over my prostate with each thrust. The one on my cock shifted around every now and then to give me the feeling of being sucked off. Soon all rational thought was gone and I was enjoying every minute of it. It didn't take me long to get to my next climax, which was one of only many, many, many more. After I shot my first load into the water tentacle, the other tentacles climaxed as well, sending cum deep into my ass and into my mouth as well. I swallowed it quickly, savoring the sweet tangy taste that came with it. After this though I quickly felt horny once more. Not that I wasn't already erect but the tentacle's cum must be able to add to the effect.

This sex cycle continued for several hours, leaving me moaning, panting, sweating, and cumming until kingdom come. I heard the door from upstairs open as Snow came back down with a tray of food in his hands.

"It seems you quite enjoyed the treatment," he said as the creature lowered me to the ground. I tried to catch my breath.

"What exactly is that thing?" I asked him. I noticed that he was only wearing pants at this time.

"It is my creation," he chuckled, "I mixed up flora and fauna from a parallel dimension. Pretty nice place, albeit small. A forest named Kal...something. Can't remember. You and your friends would have a hell of a time there. The animal's and plant's nourishment consists of semen."

"Sounds like a sexy food source," I said.

"Yeah," he said again, "but its kind of dangerous for interdimensional visitors. Those blasted things almost drained me before I could get the DNA samples to create him." He caressed a tentacle which was literally soaked in cum.

"I see, and their stuff makes us aroused more it looks like." I said.

"Indeed," he replied, "but we should talk about this at another time. I suppose you must be hungry."

"Yeah..." I wasn't lying to, I could probably eat five watermelons right now. He set down the tray, which had my favorite food on there, it was some piping hot ribs, dubbed in barbecue sauce.

"How did you know this was my favorite?" I asked him.

"Do I really need to tell you?" he asked and I instantly knew who it was.

"Eq told you," I knew he had the ability to read minds just like Krystal can so I wasn't that surprised.

"Actually, he made it to us one day. Blaze asked where he learned it, and then..."

"And then..." I was eating at a profusely fast rate.

"He told he picked it off your mind. Isn't mind reading such a distastefully useful asset?" He smiled after saying it ironically.

"Depends which way you look at it," I said as I finished my food, cleaning my face off with the provided napkin.

"I guess," he said with a sigh, "now that you finished eating, drink this." he handed me a vial with a red liquid in it. I took it and with a shrug I chugged it down.

"What does it do?" I asked.

"It will help me know whether the effects of the antivenom has worn off or not," he said, "say ah." I did so and he looked inside.

"Well," he said, "it seems the effect has wore off. But I hope you still have some stamina for one last session." He gave a mischievous grin.

"Oh?" I asked.

"Just let me put him to sleep," with that he threw a black opaque crystal into the water, causing a light to shine. The tentacles retracted to the depths and the bright crystal returned to Snow's hand. After that he led me upstairs back through the door. He looked at me with a smile and opened the door. This time however, it led into a different bedroom. It was large with a king size bed at the other wall, there was light shining through the windows. "After you..."

"Nice place," I complimented as I stepped inside.

"Thanks," he said as he closed the door, then spun me around to kiss me passionately. I gave a little gasp and returned the kiss with equal passion. Without breaking the kiss he lowered both of us onto his bed. He started stroking over my newly erect member as he kissed me. "Don't think I'll go without release this time."

"Go right ahead then," I said. He smirked and removed his pants, slipping his underwear off at the same time, and exposing his large, rock hard member. He aimed it right at my ass as I awaited the penetration, and with a stifled moan he pushed himself inside.

"You're so big," I commented as he pushed inside.

"You'd be surprised about the gifts of the recluses," he said.

"The recluses?" I asked him.

"Those who don't seek a very... active social life," He explained, "many think because we don't go out very often we don't have what it takes to please someone. How wrong they are right now huh?" He made a motion, which made me moan in pleasure.

"So true," I agreed. He smiled and rubbed a hand over my hair with one hand, while the other hand went to stroke my member.

"I seek to show those ignorant people how wrong they are," he said, "one by one." I accidentally said what I was thinking at that point.

"My hair is a very sensitive spot to me."

"Is it?" he grinned, "I'll remember that. Are there any more?" He said while he continued to stroke my hair and cock.

"Y-yeah," I replied.

"Be careful to who you reveal such information child," he said, "I gave you this advice. But since i already know, tell me a few more... neck?" he gave my neck a nice good lick, causing me to moan in response.

"That's a yes," he said then started licking over my hard nipples, "nipples?"

"Kind of," I replied.

"How about this then," he then started rubbing over my lower spine, causing me to moan very loudly. "Last guess," he said, "here..." He gave a long lick behind my ears and giving them a tongue bath. As he did he thrusted into me at a rapid pace, at this rate it didn't take us long to climax. When we did we climaxed right in time with each other, and Snow took advantage of this to lock lips with my own as we did, making a mess all over ourselves and my ass. When we finished he pulled out of me and broke the kiss.

"What a mess," he said, "But since you are no longer under the antivenom..." He took some of the semen from my face into his hand and gave it a good long lick, "delicious." That little comment made me blush just a little bit.

"Should you require through that door," he motions his head towards a wooden door that I swear I didn't see there before, "is my bath house. Feel free to clean up."

"Okay then," I said, "feel free to join me if you want to."

"Thanks for the offer," He said, "I'll be there in a little bit." I nodded and got up, walking into the bathhouse and starting up the bath getting it warm. The bath looked like it was from one of those professional spas, and it was very nice. I got in the bath to wait for Snow to return. Surely enough he did, happy to see me.

"Mind if I join?" he asked.

"Come right on in," I said. He gave a large smile and got in quickly, swimming up to my side.

"Eager aren't we?" I asked.

"I deal with ice magic," he said, "primarily, so I quite enjoy taking the chill out of my bones." He wrapped an arm over my shoulder and smiled looking deep into my eyes. "You know, Ryan... You have a rare gift." I was wondering what he meant by that but he explained rather quickly. "You are able to make almost anybody you come in contact with develop a great care for you. I have only heard of this twice before." I smiled and gave him a light hug.

"And I daresay," he said staring deep into my eyes, "I owe you that. It leaves deep scars to be like I was for so much time. I thank you deeply Ryan Lewis." With that he gave me another kiss, one with passion burning brighter than ever before. I returned the kiss happy to know that he was happy.

The next day Snow escorted me back to the Star Fox house. I was pretty sure everyone was worried for me, and this was going to take some explaining, but I was happy to. When we arrived he gave me a hug.

"Good luck Ryan," He said giving me a light kiss and turns to leave, "oh, and by the way, tell Equinox that plan of yours was very well made." He smiled and disappeared. I gave a chuckle and walked to the house, where Eq, Blaze, and Jason were awaiting my return.
