Last Chapter-

Alex and Sorren were interrogated by Sir Wolf about the events in the wearhouse. Upon their arrival back at the lair, they are interrogated again this time by Tauren and Lurie which led to a late evening combing of the science wing of Castle Wundagore and a fateful discovery....

Counter Earth Chronicles

Chapter 26: Final Judgement

Day 91

That night, like the first night with Tauren and his lovers, I slept quite well despite the bedroom being ripe with the smell of sex. In the early morning hours I was awakened by the noise of my companions:

"Aw ain't he cute?" The she beast exclaimed.

(Were they mating like rabbits again?)

I woke up to see Lurie, Tauren and Sorren all staring at me.

"Aw he woke up, he is so cute when he is a sleep- almost cherubic looking." The dragon said.

(Memo to self: when you are the only human sharing a bed with three beastials don't be the last to wake up in the morning.)

"Hmm... it is morning and once again someone didn't have their sexual release." Tauren said petting me on my head. "What can we do about that?"

"I have an idea." Luire said. "Let's have a race to see who can cum quicker Sorren or Alex?"

"I'm game." Sorren said licking his chops.

"Sex games? In the morning? What a peculiar way to start the day." I exclaimed.

"Shush human." Lurie chided gripping Sorren's penis and then mine.

"The winner will be the *ahem* contestant who cums first, but points will also be awarded for orgasm moan, distance of discharge and volume of ejaculate." Tauren chuckled.

"Now ready set go!" Lurie snickered.

"Go? I can't do that on command my lady- but if you wait a while..." Sorren moaned.

"Quit whining dragon boy and start." Luire chided.

Lurie started masturbating Sorren and me while still atop Tauren's belly. Lurie held my penis in her left paw and Sorren's in her right. She adeptly moved her paws up and down the shafts of our penises first getting us aroused, then fully erect.

The softness of her paw was incredible- her administrations were like that of a professional masseuse! Sorren and I were moaning instantly. With regard to the rules of the game, I think I had Sorren beat distance and volume-wise because the dragon had made love to Lurie earlier and was most likely 'well spent'. I on the other hand had not, so I just had to cum first. With Lurie leading us both to orgasm, it wouldn't be long.

"Let me know if I am hurting either of you." She said gently.

"Oh Luuuuuuurrrrriiiieee!" Sorren moaned as Lurie sped up.

"I would take that as a no." I gasped.

Tauren tightened his embrace on both the dragon and myself steadying us while the coyote continued pumping our shafts. I completely relaxed in the bull's embrace. That was around the time I felt that familiar tickle that started in my testicles and made its way up my shaft to the head of my penis; I was approaching the point of no return. On the other side of the bull, Sorren was snorting and huffing as well.

All too soon I knew I was there.

"Ah Sorren." I moaned.

"What is it Alex?" The dragon moaned back.

"AAAAAAHHHHH! You lose!"

With that I exploded in Lurie's paw squirting rope after rope of hot jizz fresh from my body.

"There he goes!" Tauren laughed.

I grunted and moaned with each discharge I made while Lurie and Tauren looked on. I must have fired nine ropes of semen past Lurie and off of the bed.

As I rode out my afterglow, Tauren studied the results- "Well let's see Alex came first, I thought he squirted about nine times, the distance was about a foot and oh yeah that moan-roar thing you did while ejaculating was quite cute."

Lurie turned her attention to the still moaning dragon. "Sorren dear your turn." Lurie said speeding up her administrations. Sorren then closed his eyes tight and then grunted as he came in Lurie's paw. He squirted about six ropes of his jizz three quarters of a foot away from his body. Before stopping and groaning. It appeared my dragon friend had lost this little contest.

As Sorren rode out his afterglow Tauren analyzed the results. "Sorry love not even close."

"Hey, I was at a disadvantage to begin with- the bulk of my jizz is inside 'yote girl and I didn't make much more during the night." The dragon protested.

"Excuses, excuses." The bull said to the dragon as he plucked Lurie off of his now limp penis and placed her on top of me. "Speaking of disadvantages it is nearly time to get up and if I remember correctly your tail-star is completely dry while Lurie's is not- I think I am going to have to do something about that love." Tauren said as he rolled Sorren on to his stomach, lifting the dragon's tail out of the way as he mounted him swiftly.

Lurie and I looked at the two males- "They are quite frisky this morning." I said to the she beast who was still dripping bull semen from her flower onto the bed and myself. "I guess the only consolation is that when Tauren climaxes again the volume won't be that much because he deposited most of that inside you."

"Think again little human." The coyote female said rolling to my left. "Now you can continue massaging my back while we watch the show."

Tauren was splayed across his dragon's back rocking both their bodies in a sweet loving gentle motion as he thrusted his erect shaft inside and outside of his lover. Sorren was loving every bit of the attention too his face was on the bed facing Luire and myself tongue rolled out to the side in a goofy grin.

Tauren increased his speed and power as the he approached his peak.

"Grr.....getting closer my love- jizz is eminent!"

Lurie and I watching in perverse fascination as the minotaur mooed and ejaculated hard inside the dragon. Flooding Sorren's back passage with a torrent of semen. Like with Lurie earlier, the volume was too much and leaked back out onto the bed. Tauren had done it again!

"Now only two tail-stars remain completely dry, who's next?!" Lurie said looking at me.

"No offense- but I am spent, so is Sorren besides guys- I am spoken for remember?"

"In other words you don't swing that way and you would like your tail-star to remain completely dry as well." The bull teased as he hugged the well spent dragon.

"Uh what time is it?" I asked the trio.

"It is about 4:45 we still have about an hour before we have to get up." The coyote female said.

"Just enough time to lie in our own filth a little longer and to enjoy each others company." Sorren teased.

That we did for the next hour and a half. Eventually we did have to get up, clean the room, shower and get dressed.

That morning Lurie and I were shower partners and I assisted her in removing the left over dragon and bull jizz in both her love tunnels from the night before much to my embarrassment. I examined every tuft and clump of fur on her body to make sure she was completely clean.

I blushed profusely when she did the same for me. I am not sure why, I was so embarrassed. If she were Lady Ursa- it wouldn't have bothered me. It was most likely because my mistress and I had been intimate on a number of occasions and the most Lurie and I have done is snuggled- oh yeah, and she jacked me off.

Tauren and Sorren were shower partners that morning and the bull did the same for the dragon- although it was much easier- because Sorren didn't have any fur, or wings for that matter. His skin was smooth like a salamander's not scaly like a lizard. I also noticed something additional I hadn't before. The small horn's on Sorren's head were quite cute. I wondered if they would increase in size as he got older. I also noticed that Sorren's tail was quite large about one quarter of his body- must be an interesting obstacle to surmount while love making.

As we settled down to breakfast- Tauren and Lurie checked their itineraries and gasped.

"What's going on?" I asked the two as Sorren set the table.

"Lea's Judgement has been moved from Castle Sevren to this afternoon in Castle Wundagore. She is being transferred to the holding cell here!" The minotaur said.

"Uh oh that means- maintenance only has a few hours to make sure that everything is in top shape; I am going to have a busy morning." Lurie said.

"I guess that means we in the cafeteria only have a few hours to get ready as well." Sorren said as he finished setting the table.

"Well I guess you guys are going to have a very very busy morning." I laughed as I folded my arms behind my head.

The trio then leered at me.

"I say something wrong my dear friends?"

"You are going to be quite busy too little human." Tauren commented. "I contacted professor Love yesterday, she is going to resume tutoring you here this morning at 9 AM. That is if you are finished liberating every Counter Earth citizen that is."

"I am." I said to the bull.

"Now If I remember correctly you have fallen well behind your lessons while assisting your mistress and the knights on their missions. Well today you are going to catch up and this evening when we return, you're going to turn off your translator and speak exclusively to Sorren, Lurie and myself in English without your thick accent and then start your education in Animalian. I think afterwards we might also find something on the hub- perhaps that documentary on the rebellion from the other night and watch that in Animalian." The bull said.

I gasped at hearing this. "It looks like you also going to have a busy morning too Alex." Lurie chided.

"Yup, yup it is a good thing you are well rested and are eating a hearty breakfast." Sorren added.

I realized that Tauren, Sorren and Lurie who I have come to know well these last few days transformed from good friends- to more like the older siblings I never had.

Around 8 AM Lurie departed for work kissing Tauren and Sorren and even myself on the forehead (yesterday she only gave me a hug) telling us to have a good day. Tauren departed soon afterwards- he also kissed me on the forehead after kissing Sorren on his. Tauren said that he would swing by later to check up on me.

After his departure, I turned to Sorren. "I guess I have officially become part of this family I told the goofy dragon."

"Why would you say that?" He asked me.

"Because everyone has started to include me in their kisses." I said simply.

"That is because we realized you are so kissable!" The dragon said giving me one right on the forehead next to where Tauren and Lurie had planted theirs.

"Anyway, I have to get going as well. Study hard- because there will be numerous quizzes later!" The dragon said hugging me before he departed.

Just like that I was alone in the lair- but not for long. 9 AM soon came and with it a visit from professor Love, the otter and the resumption of my language studies.

My mistress had kept the middle aged otter apprised when I had to cancel my tutoring sessions the last few days but not informed.

"Alex, I was wondering..." She began. "You seem to miss a lot of classes for someone who is dedicated to learning."

(Uh oh here it comes.)

"Let's see you were gone for several days a few weeks ago and you fell behind. Then you spent all last week catching up only to miss three days this week. What is going on?" The female otter asked me with arms folded.

"Well, er you see..."

"Alex, all Ursa would tell me is that you were helping the knights."

"Well teacher that is technically true. I have certain abilities, well skills that the Knights of Wundagore find useful on their missions from time to time. They like to make use of them whenever possible- it was one of the informal conditions of my adoption." I said to the skeptical lady otter.

"Go on." She said.

"A few weeks ago I was in the wilderness aiding Sir Ram, err Junior Knight Ram hunting a dangerous fugitive. After I got back. I spent the week catching up on my studies. Then three days ago I spent some time with him on patrol at the request of Lord Tiger and then the last two days I have been conducting an investigation trying to clear the name of a friend of mine who was falsely accused of a crime she didn't commit."

"Oh that lion girl Lea?"

"Yes."

"How is that going?"

"It took awhile but with the help of some other friends, we proved her innocence. Her Final Judgement is this afternoon."

"Well I am glad to have you back." The she beast said. "I also plan to work you very hard to get you back on track."

"I am yours to instruct teacher." I said humbly.

"By the way Alex why are you staying with Tauren?"

"Oh that, my mis... err my guardian left me in his care while she and the knights were away on missions. Hopefully she will be back soon. I do miss her greatly when she is away."

"I see." professor Love said thoughtfully. "All right let's begin conversational English. I seem to recall you have a very thick accent that we need to get rid of."

The professor worked me hard for four hours straight. It was rough but much more enjoyable than being on another damn mission risking my safety, life and limb for the empire and its citizens. I applied myself and the otter lady was quite impressed with her human student. We concluded around 1 in the afternoon.

Shortly after her departure, I started working on the homework she had assigned when Tauren walked in.

"How goes the studies?" He asked.

"Grueling but enjoyable." I said to the minotaur. "No one is trying to attack or kill me."

"That is always a plus." The he beast responded. "Are you ready for a break?"

"Sure, where to?" I asked.

"The holding cells. Lea's Final Judgement is in 20 minutes, I thought you would like to be present." Tauren said to me gently.

"Yes, I would- very very much."

I dropped what I was doing and followed Tauren to the holding area . Upon our arrival we heard some loud roaring coming from inside.

"What is going on in here?!" Tauren said as we entered.

"Nothing but a lover's quarrel- man." A voice came from holding cell six.

"Yeah between some former lovers." A female voice responded from holding cell five.

"Well, well look at what the bull dragged in?!" Came yet another female voice from holding cell four.

"If it isn't the collaborator!" Mike Anger responded from holding cell three.

(Wait a minute. I thought only Lea was transported here for her judgment!)

The truth was quite different. Lea had been moved from the dungeons of Castle Sevren to my old cell. But she was not alone!

I turned around to discover that four of the remaining five cells were occupied by the scum that Sorren and I had the misfortune running across during our investigation in World Three.

In cell number three was Mike Anger whom Lea was having words with when Tauren and I entered the holding area.

In cell numbers four and five were the two female rebels who along with The Poet tried to cut Sorren and myself into bit sized chunks yesterday and in cell number six was the wearhouse security guard Tom who also was instrumental in setting us up.

(Wow, that was fast!)

"Well look who we have here?!" I said approaching each of the cells. "It looks like four of the worst representations of humanity!"

I walked by each of the cells looking at the occupants within as Tauren looked on. In cell number three we have deception and betrayal. In cells four and five hatred, bigotry and intolerance and in cell six, um, err... naivety and ignorance! Put them altogether and you have a nice little collection of evil."

(Man, I was on a roll!)

"Hey Mr. Anger!" I said approaching his cell again. "What's up? I just wanted to say that Sorren and I survived your little ruse oh and we are doing well. Unlike you!"

He looked at me and said nothing. I then moved to cells number four and five.

"Damn, we almost got ya." One of the female rebel thugs said.

"Almost being the operative term." The other said.

"That's interesting because I thought my friend did get you." I shot back indignantly. "I am going to have to talk to Sorren about his aim- it was a little off. I thought he had incinerated all of you after your leader tried so hard to kill us." I said staring at each.

"Aw, better luck next time love." The one who had shown me the scrap book yesterday said.

"You seem to misunderstand your situation madam. We are in attendance for Final Judgement. It is called that for a reason." I said smugly.

"You are only being smug because you are on the other side of that window!" The other female shot back at me.

"You know I am not a violent person. In fact I hate fighting. But I could make an exception for you two and all the evil you have committed. By the way, I am surprised they were able to patch you two up so quickly just in time for THE END."

The females indeed had bandages over their arms and legs and on their faces where they had been 'put back together' after they had been torched. It was amazing they were in one piece at all. If this were Gaia they would have been six feet under.

"And Tom the guard. I saw your debut on the hub yesterday." I said mocking him as I walked up to his cell. "I thought your performance was crazy as hell. Crazy... As... Hell... By the way how is the search for your next job going?"

"Whatever man. I didn't know what happened yesterday was going to happen. I thought it was going to be just another meeting." He said looking up at me.

It became apparent that he had been apprehended shortly after his interview on the news because he was still in yesterday's clothes.

"Alex." Tauren said placing his paw on my shoulder. "Enough gloating."

"Sorry, I just wanted to have a few words with the condemned before their lives are destroyed." I said walking up to my old cell and the occupant with in it.

"Good afternoon gorgeous. I trust the accommodations are better?" I asked Lea.

The lioness looked distressed and in need of a bath- but not abused.

"They were much better until that was brought in here!" The lioness said directing my attention behind me. "You monster how could you do this!" Lea shouted at Mike Anger.

"I had my own reasons." Came his cryptic answer.

"Despite that, you must be on cloud nine right now you sexy lioness."

"Alex thank you. Tauren told me that you and the others discovered my labs were bugged with listening devices for the resistance." She said to me.

"Yup." I said to the beautiful she beast. "That is why the resistance was able to gain so much intel to conduct their incursions on the castles. The information was to be presented to the High Evolutionary this morning...."

"Alex, they are here!" Tauren said. I walked back to Tauren at the holding cell entrance just in time to see the High Evolutionary, the beastials' master and ruler of all Counter Earth enter the room followed by Sir Wolf, his wolf-pack guards and another scientist a young goat in a lab coat who looked much like the one in my forced transformation dream I had some months ago.

Upon the dictator's entrance. Tauren and Lea immediately dropped to their knees. "Master." They both said in unison. The four human prisoners starred on in amazement from their cells.

Like an idiot I was still standing when he entered the room. Tauren reached out his paw and pulled me down to the floor.

"What gives?" I whispered. "He is not my master?!"

"Think again!" The he beast countered. "He is your master's master so that makes him you master as well!"

I couldn't argue with that logic.

I quickly humbled myself before the dictator. "Master!" I exclaimed.

The dictator hadn't changed since I had met him my first week on Counter Earth- still seven feet tall towering over any average human. He was draped in black and silver chain-mail. His eyes were still the fire red I had remembered which did not offset his blond hair, mustache or beard- which were quite well trimmed.

Sir Wolf soon joined Tauren and myself who were kneeling as the High Evolutionary

walked past us and right to the center of the room.

"Greetings Tauren. Are all the prisoners present?"

"They are master." Tauren said standing up.

"Then let us begin. These prisoners were instrumental to the rebel incursions and breaches at my castles. I am not happy about that. Nor am I that it took so long for them to be discovered. I will address that later." The High Evolutionary said starring at the female rebels in cells four and five.

The dictator outstretched his right arm and clasped his hand and the female rebels were levitated through the windows of their respective cells, right by Tauren and myself to hover in front of the High Evolutionary, Sir Wolf, his guards and the goat in the white lab coat.

"I will start my Final Judgement with the two of you. Nikki Waters and Kathryn Hurt you are charged with aiding and allying with a known enemy of the empire- Steven J Poet and joining his group in attempt to disrupt MY empire and this civilization..."

"Say what you want 'governor our comrades will come and rescue us! We will then regroup and bring you down we will!" Nikki said.

I surmised that the rebel who had shown me The Poet's scrapbook yesterday was not highly educated judging by the way she spoke and to address the dictator in that manner- man, she was living dangerously.

"Oh yes, Ms. Waters- I feel there is something you should know about that." Sir Wolf interrupted.

"What is that Sir Wolf?" The dictator said staring at the commander of the Knights of Castle Sevren.

Sire, we have a present for you." The warrior responded.

"What kind of a present?" The dictator asked.

"Since the rebellion has placed and used listening devices against our forces, I decided to use these same devices against the rebellion." The wolf warrior responded.

"I am familiar with the recent developments here in Castles Wundagore and Sevren, I understand there is more?" The dictator asked the wolf warrior.

"After learning of these devices existence, I decided to send the rebellion a false message that one of their leaders the recently deceased Steven J Poet had survived his battle yesterday at the warehouse in World Three and would be executed today at noon in Castle Sevren. The hope would be that his remaining forces would attempt a raid and would be captured in the process, well those that did not catch the news report anyway." The he beast said.

"What was the end result Sir Wolf?"

"See for yourself master." Sir Wolf opened a communication channel to one of his subordinates at Castle Sevren at the monitor on Tauren's desk. It was the female bison Sorren and I had met yesterday who appeared on the screen.

"Lala, status!" Sir wolf demanded.

"Operation Ruse was successful sir- the remaining forces of the Poet were captured in an unsuccessful raid at Castle Sevren this morning. The rebel cel belonging to the Poet has been extirpated."

"How many?" Sir Wolf asked.

"Ten additional rebels- this rebel cel was quite small." Lala said flashing pictures of the captured rebels.

"Great work Lala that will be all." Sir Wolf stated ending the transmission.

"Outstanding work as always Sir Wolf. Well done." The High Evolutionary said to the wolf warrior. "I want to be apprised of the information you receive from the new prisoners." The dictator stated.

"Thank you master." Sir Wolf said humbly.

"It appears ladies that there is to be no rescue." The goat said directing everyone's attention back to the condemned.

"In addition to the aforementioned charges you are also both responsible for the murders of twenty four innocent beastials while in service to the now deceased rebel leader The Poet." The High Evolutionary continued. "What do you have to say for yourselves?"

"It wasn't us you can't prove it!" The rebel known as Kathryn responded.

"I beg to differ madam." Sir Wolf said stepping forward. "My forces found this damaged scrapbook in the wearhouse yesterday. I also know for a fact that you and several others showed the photographs in it to two investigators."

"Those aren't OUR pictures." Nikki retorted.

"Really?" Sir Wolf continued. "I understand that as part of the rebel cel, you rebels took pictures of your kills recording them for posterity. What do you make of this picture?"

Sir Wolf then presented Nikki Waters with the picture of the dead buffalo she had shown Sorren and me yesterday.

"I have never seen him in before in me life?" She responded.

"Interesting I have you on recording saying that you hunted him after his vehicle had broken down in the slums and that you killed him while he was waiting for help." Sir Wolf said to all in attendance.

"I don't recall that." The rebel female said.

"Perhaps not. I guess that is why you wrote it down on the back of the photograph!" Sir Wolf said as everyone in attendance gasped.

The goat then approached the scrapbook Sir Wolf was holding, picked up the picture and turned it over.

"Billy would you be so kind as to read the comment?" Sir Wolf said to the goat in the lab coat.

"My eleventh kill. I got the poor bastard when he was least expecting it. Rot in hell you beastial abomination Nikki Waters Solar Day 207, 0031 YOE."

"That was about two weeks ago." The goat said to the wolf. "There are quite a few other pictures with similar comments in here as well. Shall I read them too?"

"Idiot!" Kathryn said to Nikki.

"You did it too when took out that equine couple in their electronics shop!" Nikki said to Kathryn.

Sir Wolf flipped to their picture in the scrap book. It contained a similar entry from Kathryn as well- 205th Solar Day. Year Of Empire 0031.

"It appears that you two were in competition to see who could kill the most innocents. At the time Kathryn you were in the lead with thirteen to Nikki's eleven." Sir Wolf said.

Hearing that both females hung their heads in shame. Was it because they were sorry (I doubt it) or because they had been caught? I very much think it was the later.

"You two are here by ordered to the restore the twenty four lives you took!" The dictator said stepping forward.

"You know damn well we can't do that mighty dictator!" Kathryn said mocking him.

"Then your lives are forfeit." The High Evolutionary said looking directly at the women.

"So hurry up and sentence us to experimentation or that living death-thing you guys are so hot about these days." The woman said indignantly.

"The condemned will be silent while judgement is announced!" Sir Wolf said.

"Not going to happen!" The dictator continued. "You two are very bad humans who have unlawfully taken fellow creature's lives. Your punishment will be to live out the rest of your existence as that which you despise!" This is my final judgement!

Hearing that the women burst into laugher. "The ram's human to beastial program hasn't quite been a resounding success. All he has managed to create were mindless monsters! You are going to turn us into mindless monsters? Nikki asked.

(Too late they already were.)

The High Evolutionary gave both women a stern look and then closed his right hand. They were instantly silenced.

(Damn! Now that was power! Or was it Telekinesis?)

It was then that the goat stepped forward. "My mentor has been trying straight human to beastial transformations for years with not much success. The end result was the creation of a mindless animal with no sentience at all. In his absence I have developed another approach in which my subjects retain their intellect and sentience after the procedure."

I looked at Tauren and him at me.

(Some one perfected it?!)

The goat continued... "You two will be transformed into that which you deeply deeply despise and imprisoned in a little itty bitty box with many mirrors where you can stare at your new forms and reflect on your wasted existence for the rest of your lives! Oh and your transformations will be broadcast to the relatives of all your victims!"

"Sir Wolf!" The dictator said.

The wolf warrior nodded to his guards. They grabbed both women and hauled them away to their awaiting new existence as beastials. This was getting good. Very good. But I was perplexed.

"Billy?" I asked raising my hand.

"Ah yes, Alex Winter. You have a question?"

"I was curious, how has the human to beastial program been perfected? Tauren and myself fought with the flawed results of that program four months ago." I asked.

"And two weeks ago you and my mentor hunted the only successful result of that program." The goat added.

I nodded.

"To answer your question. Instead of being turned from a human into say a beastial canine or a beastial feline and having the subject's sentience evaporate in the process, MY program turns the subject into a beastial whose new form is a combination of many- like a griffon, sphinx or chimera. The subject becomes a beastial while retaining their mind so to speak. It is just that their new beastial form is an amalgamation of various body parts." Billy said.

"In other words, the female's outward beauty will match their inward beauty or lack their off." The High Evolutionary said.

"Right sire." The goat said.

"Now that brings us to you Mr. Anger..." The High Evolutionary said levitating Lea's former boyfriend from his cell. "You are charged with being a sympathizer to the forces that threaten my rule, passing information on to the enemies of the empire as well as misdirection and manipulation of loyal subjects of this empire for then enhancement and proliferation of the rebellion. In short, you are a traitor Mr. Anger. What do you have to say for yourself?"

(That sounded about right.)

"I don't know what you are talking about sir." Mike Anger said to the dictator. "I am just a humble medical administrator who dated a beastial."

"You are going to play this game?!" The goat said to the traitor.

"Apparently he is." Sir Wolf said walking to Tauren's monitor pressing a few buttons. "This was recorded five months ago in one of the science labs."

Sir Wolf then played a conversation between Lea and Mike one evening in the months before I arrived on Counter Earth and about the time the rebel incursions started.

"Hello my lioness. What are you wearing baby?!"

"You charmer. So what are we doing tonight?"

"How about we check out that play at the Performing Arts Center? How late are you working? Can you meet me down there?"

_"Sure Mike, how about eight?" _

"That's sounds great baby. I will save you a seat. CALL me when you leave."

"Will do stud. Maybe we can go out to eat afterwards."

"Sounds like a plan."

"So what? That is how our conversations usually went." Mr. Anger responded.

"So what?!" Sir Wolf responded. "That evening was when the incursions started. Castle Wundagore was attacked by a rebel group- a small one. We thought we had captured all involved but we had not. It was on this night that a small group made their way to the science wing and bugged the rooms. Castle Sevren was bugged shortly afterwards. From that point forward audio from any events in those labs was heard by all rebel factions. By luring your girlfriend out of the castle that night her labs were able to be bugged without her knowledge."

"Circumstantial." Mike Anger said.

"What about this?" The goat said. "This recording was taking yesterday morning a little after 10 AM."

_"Steve, it is Mike. I just learned that my girl was accused of spying for the rebellion. She just got locked up. _

"How did you know?"

"I was visited by two investigators who were trying to clear her name. They are meeting me at the 'meeting place' this afternoon around noon. Can you join us?"

"Thanks Mike. I will make sure to give them a good welcome. Sorry about your girl."

_"Me too she is going to take the fall for the listening devices. But for what it's worth, they haven't been discovered yet so the intel should still keep coming for a while anyway."

_

"Good."

"See you at noon."

Hearing the recording Lea looked at Mike Anger with such hatred in her eyes.

"Anything you would like to add Mr. Anger?" The goat said looking at him. "Perhaps the fact that you set up a loyal subject to take the fall for a crime she was not guilty of?"

The rebel sympathizer had been caught with his pants down.

(Speaking of pants down- when he was together with Lea did those two ever? EW! I hate to even think about that.)

"Michael Anger you were going to let an innocent obedient, loyal subject of my empire take the punishment for a crime she didn't commit! As compensation you will take her punishment; you are sentenced to the living death. You will spend the rest of your life- however long that is, dwelling on your actions! This I Command!"

(Damn that was harsh, but worth every damn minute.)

The High Evolutionary looked at Sir Wolf who ordered his guards to take Mr. Anger away to be placed in suspended animation not quite alive and not quite dead- consciously thinking and aware of his actions and what he did wrong for the rest of his existence.

(Served him right.)

"That brings us to you Mr. Honors." The High Evolutionary said turning his attention to holding cell six.

"This is it! Game over man!" The security guard of the warehouse bleated.

"You are charged with being uniformed and disinterested in the comings and goings on in the empire, this civilization and only concerned with getting by. This has caused you to make bad decision after bad decision such as supplementing your income by allowing a shady group to hold meetings at your work location- questions unasked as long as your palms were greased. This is why you are in the situation you are in now." The dictator said as he levitated Tom from his cell.

Tom was so scared that it looked like he was doing all he could do to just to keep breathing.

"What do you have to say for yourself?" The High Evolutionary asked.

"It is true man. All of it. I only cared about the money. Getting by that's it." He said.

"So you don't deny any of it?" Sir Wolf asked the trembling human.

Tom shook his head.

"I think he is about to plead for mercy sire." The goat said.

"You then are sentenced to experimentation." The dictator decreed.

Mr. Honors' mouth hit the floor. "Why man?! Why?"

"To find out why you are so stupid and naive." The goat said grabbing the man as they left the room. "This way."

(Yeah, Billy good luck trying to fix that.)

With the prisoners in cells three thorough six taken care of, that only left one more prisoner.

Lea was on her paws and knees in my former cell as the dictator approached.

The High Evolutionary said nothing as he reached Lea's cel. The dictator did not request that anyone deactivate the cell window or release the prisoner at all. Instead he just walked up to the cell stared at it. Instantly the window deactivated and Lea was levitated out of the cell to the High Evolutionary's feet.

"My dear do you know what you stand accused of today?" The beastials' master said in the softest tone.

"I do sir." Lea responded meekly.

The beastials' master then said.... "Until recently I believed you were a traitor and I was prepared to have you punished based on your so called misdeeds. However the new evidence that has been presented has exonerated you and implicated the rest."

"Thank you master you are most merciful and kind..." Lea started to say, but was cut off.

"I have given you all a new set of charges!" The beastial's master said directing his attention from Lea back to the three of us. "Sir Wolf is guilty. Minotaur you are guilty! Human you are guilty!"

My heart stopped as I heard his words.

(For what?!)

"For what sire?" Tauren asked.

"You all are guilty for inadvertently aiding the rebellion through those damn listening devices! I am not happy about the circumstances that caused the events of today! In my opinion they should have not happened at all. It gives me reason to doubt your genetic superiority!"

"In all fairness the problem was still discovered sire and taken care of sire." Sir Wolf said.

"Not quickly enough and not before the attacks on my castles and the resulting loss of life from the incursions! Sir Wolf I want a full investigation to determine EXACTLY how these damn devises got in to Castles Wundagore and Sevren, the rebel factions using them and if there are any more in the other castles!" The beastial's master said turning back toward Lea.

"It will be done master." Sir Wolf responded.

(So this was what it was like to serve the High Evolutionary and to get your ass chewed out. Talk about a very tough job.)

"And you my dear you are also guilty...."

Lea's mouth dropped wide open when she heard that. The dictator smiled at her as he closed it.

"....of having bad taste in lovers. However I did not come here today to render judgement on that. I trust you will be more discreet with whom you give your heart to from now on. The High Evolutionary said levitating Lea to her feet.

"So after careful consideration, your punishment will be to endure the pain, embarrassment and humiliation this incident has brought upon you and your reputation. You will be returned to your duties as a loyal subject of my empire and will attempt to salvage your career as best you can as well as to honor those who worked tirelessly to prove your innocence. Hopefully, this experience will also cause you to be more selective when choosing a significant other! End of judgement!"

With that the High Evolutionary's judgement was proclaimed.

"Thank you master, you have been both very kind and merciful." Lea said meekly.

The beastials' master then turned toward me.

"Mr. Winter approach!" The High Evolutionary ordered.

(What the hell did I do?!)

I rose to my feet and approached the towering dictator.

"Mr. Winter- Tell me, do you know what the primary purpose of this empire is?"

I thought for a second or so. "To protect it's citizens from threats internal and external master?"

"Correct. The biggest threat to the empire and this civilization is this so called rebellion that seeks to relinquish my power and turn order upside down. THAT I will never allow to happen. This is also why I GREATLY despise sympathizers and spies that are aiding and abetting the rebellion."

"I see sir." I responded.

The dictator continued... "Once again Mr Winter, my creations have done right by you. You were instrumental in alerting us to this situation and went even further to expose it. I seem to recall you made quite the impression on Ursa your first week on this world. I thought she was out of her mind when she adopted you. All these months later I now am just beginning to understand why she did what she did."

"Thank you sire." I said meekly.

"Human, take your friend back to her lair and help her get settled in." The beastial's commander ordered.

"As you command sire." I said bowing. With that the High Evolutionary left the holding area followed by Sir Wolf who turned his head as he was walking by winking at me.

After the dictator departed. Tauren and I walked over to the very humbled lioness. "How does it feel to be a completely exonerated and free beastial?"

"Very humbling." The she beast said. "I came very close to meeting my end today."

"But it all worked out in the end Lea." Tauren said to her.

"Yup, now let's get you home." I added.

To Be Continued....
