TITLE: Triumph's Odyssey PART: Chapter 3 - Gladiator AUTHOR: Big Al KEYWORDS: Mf alien ScFi size 1st f1st impreg piv cons SUMMARY: Captain Garrett Harcrow is abducted by a mysterious alien race of powerful psions, whose lovely virgin queen makes outrageous demands of him. Written for Haqqenstache on Hentai Foundry. ********** There was a wash of sensation - color, scents, a sickening wrench of dislocation - and then Captain Garrett Harcrow was elsewhere. He didn't panic. He could tell by the suppression fields pushing on his form that he was meant to be unconscious, so he pretended that they were working, keeping his eyes closed and his breathing steady. He was suspended in a null-gravity field, and was bound in mid-air at his hands and wrists, spread-eagled, and completely naked. Oddly enough, he heard no voices. He could hear the humming purr of highly efficient machinery - none he recognized; Garrett could identify most types of technology by their sound, and this was a particularly steady, calm thrum of casual power - and felt murmurs probing his mind. Telepaths, he guessed. The concept wasn't completely unknown to the Charter. The entire Yahsolar race - his ship counselor Qihliani's species - were empaths, and psionic mutations occurred every now and then in nearly every race. But these beings, whoever they were, who had abducted him, seemed to be more widely psionic. Perhaps it was the long-rumored Hegemony, a conspiracy theory of genetic mutants who supposedly ruled the Milky Way galaxy in secret; of course, the Charter was the real rulers, Garrett knew for a fact, but it didn't mean that some part of the rumors weren't true. His internal sense of time informed him that 7 terran hours, 46 minutes, and 18 seconds had passed since his transmat abduction, when he felt the suppression fields relent, and he intuited thereby that he was supposed to "regain" consciousness. So he faked it, sleepily blinking his eyes open. He was surprised to note that there was actually very little in the way of "machinery" as he was familiar with the concept. Instead, the humming noise came from clusters of small crystal formations all around him, each glowing with energy. Several metal discs orbited his hovering body, with small crystals on each disc pointing towards him, obviously maintaining the null-grav field keeping him aloft. Although there were indeed metal bindings about his ankles and wrists, his chains were actually indigo arcs of crackling energy connecting him to other crystal formations outside the null-grav field. He flexed, and felt a slight give against his straining muscles; it would be difficult, but he believed he could break free. For now though, that was not his plan. In front of his null-grav prison stood two alien females. They were humanoid in form and coloring, but their flesh had a slight golden sheen to it, while their eyes were glimmering pearls of liquid moonsilver. They were much smaller and slighter than a typical humanoid, appearing to be the size of young, barely pubescent human girls, but they both had nicely shaped, perky breasts. They wore no clothing that he could see, but each wore hair so long it went to their ankles, and the hair floated as though alive, strategically covering the private bits no matter how its owner moved. One female's hair was so black it appeared almost blue, whereas the other's was a baby pink. They were no species he recognized, and he knew every species in the Charter, and many more besides. The pink-haired one spoke. Her voice, though delicate and musical, was hoarse, as though she were not accustomed to using it; if she was indeed psionic, that certainly made sense. "Speak, brute. Are you capable of intelligent converse?" She was speaking a heavily accented English, which was the Pan-Galactic Standard tongue under Charter law. Garrett replied, his voice deep and resonant and strong, despite having been without water in hours, "I am capable of many intelligent things, of which converse is only one." The raven-head gasped, utterly taken aback. The pink-haired girl shot a victorious look at her, and their expressions changed rapidly in the next several moments; Garrett assumed that they were having a psionic conversation - indeed, he could feel slight murmurs whispering on the edges of his consciousness. He surmised that there had been some debate as to his sentience or intellect, given his unique null-psionic signature, an argument that the pink-haired beauty had clearly won. As a young man, Garrett had strengthened his mind with meditative techniques, and the biomod nanogene upgrades had only enhanced that, to the point where he was literally a blank to telepathic and empathic abilities, and immune to externally imposed suggestion. A shimmering sparkle heralded an incoming transmat, and the two girls dropped to their knees, prostrating their faces to the floor as three new figures materialized before him. The two new arrivals on the flanks were tall men - or eunuchs, Garrett guessed - clad from head to toe in ornate armor that left no part of them exposed. They might have been robots, except no mechnical creature could move with such fluid grace. Sharp crystal spikes jutted from their armor, crackling with psionic force, and they wielded carved crystal staves in a protective stance. Guards, obviously. The third new arrival, between the guardsmen, was another young woman, as nude as the raven- and pink-haired girls. Her hair was as gleaming silvery-white as her eyes, an iridescent pearl hue like a clear full moon on a starry night. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with breasts the size of cantaloupes, a figure to die for, and a porcelain face. Garrett felt the weight of a new psionic murmur pressing ineffectually upon the fringes of his mind, and surmised that this was the leader, probably by dint of her supreme psionic ability. The pink-haired girl spoke from her position on the floor, her words garbled by her face being pressed down. "The queen admits you to the Culling," she said. "You have been declared of sufficient genetic stock for our standards, despite your obvious psionic deficiencies. Should you prove yourself in the arena and survive the Cullings, your reward and your duty will be to contribute to our gene pool." "Why does the queen not tell me herself?" the supersoldier challenged. His voice, deep and resonant, clearly had an effect on the queen, who shivered very slightly as his pheromones seeped into the air. "The queen does not sully herself with vulgar speech!" the raven-haired one reproached him, shocked. The queen swept her hand in front of her dismissively, and the world vanished in silver sparkles as the transmat took Garrett elsewhere. He was still in the odd psionic chains, but this time they were affixed to a wall. He was in a dank dungeon-like room, with glowing crystal emplacements serving as dim lamps. Flickering indigo light indicated other psi-chains in the chamber, and his sharp vision easily picked out his fellow cellmates. There was all manner of species represented here, most of which he recognized, and some of which he didn't. This psionic race, whomever they were, had a very far reach, if they could access multiple alien races that he had never encountered. There were ancient and mostly dormant hypergates in multiple places throughout the galaxy; given this psi-race's mastery of transmat tech, was it possible they could be those gates' creators? He brought himself back to the here and now as a gruff, grizzled Haakti spoke to him. "New, eh? I would welcome you, but that would be too optimistic." Garrett eyed the alien man. His flesh was a dusky brown like most of his race, and small stubby horns studded his forehead and temples. His long black hair was an unkempt tangle pulled into a loose ponytail, slashed through with grey. One of his eyes was milky white and clearly blind, with a faded scar slashing through it. His flesh was riddled with scars - not honor scars, the kind that would be incurred in a Haakti knife-duel, but rough, jagged scars, the kind earned in unending, brutal combat. This warrior had been here a long time, Garrett realized. If he hadn't been, then he like all Haakti would have engaged in knife-duels and honor bouts with his fellows and thus have more ritual scars, not these rough wounds. Clearly very tough, as well, to have survived so long. He was clad only in leather vestments - a loincloth and a bandolier - resembling a primeval gladiator in some respects. And suddenly the captain realized - that's exactly what they were. Gladiators. A similar outfit had been transmatted onto him as well. This "Culling" in an arena. "They're using us as breeding stock, aren't they?" he guessed. The Haakti chuckled. "Yes. You're a quick one. The Chinari are psychic, very powerfully so. They wander from galaxy to galaxy, seeking new blood to strengthen their race, as for some reason all their males are infertile. So they make us fight, and the winners breed their women." "And the losers?" The Haakti spat. "The losers die. A life of endless combat and wenches - a true Haakti's dream." His voice was bitter. "But this is not by your choice," Garrett said softly. "To take a Haakti's freedom is to take his honor." The old warrior looked shrewdly at him. "You know my kind well, creature. What sort of species are you? I can't say I've ever encountered your like." The grizzled Haakti had apparently been here a very long time indeed - since before humanity had ever reached the stars or encountered the Haakti and sparked off the interstellar war that led to the formation of the humanocentric Pan-Galactic Charter. "I am a human, of Earth," he answered. "We reached the stars only after your imprisonment, it seems. I have fought and bled both with and against Haakti, and I have earned your people's respect, as they have earned mine." A slight glint entered the Haakti's eye. "I am Jaarik, human. Your words bring me honor and pleasure, and I thank you. When we meet in the arena, and surely we will, it will be a true honorable duel the likes of which I have not had in decades, win or lose." "I am Garrett," he nodded, counting the old Jaarik as an ally. "Oh shaddup," a cruel, nasty voice spat from another corner. "You two prattle on like old women. I can't wait till you both die in the arena and I'm rid of your flapping tongues." Garrett turned his head to regard him - it was a species he'd never encountered. A huge hulking brute even larger than Garrett was chained, taking up an entire corner to himself. He resembled an ogre out of myth - warts on his face, lopsided eyes, oversized ears, and an underbite of sharp teeth. He had three eyes, each of which looked around independently of the others, and had four stubby fingers on each hand. "Surely you would rather direct your hate at our Chinari captives," the captain said carefully. The creature snorted. "Bah. I'm smart enough not to cross people who can turn my brain into mush as soon as look at me. I'll settle for killing and fucking." "Apparently you're not smart enough for that after all," Garrett countered, "because unless I miss my guess, your brain is already mush." The hulking brute snarled at him and raged ineffectually at his glowing indigo psi-chains. "I'll feed you your intestines, cur!" Old Jaarik chuckled. "Ukalik may be blunt, but he's right about one thing. There is no escape. I take my refuge in honor. He takes his in his savage pleasures. What will you take refuge in, human Garrett?" Garrett favored him with a tight smile. "You'll find out." He glanced at a fourth man in their shared dungeon, but this imprisoned gladiator - a Fhillilla by the looks of it - was sullenly silent. The captain's mind was working furiously, metaphoric gears whizzing. So this psionic race were called the Chinari. Their men were infertile, but apparently their women could be fertilized by any species... or more likely, they used some kind of psionic-crystalline interface technology to simulate cross-species motility. The Charter had performed exploratory studies of interspecies reproduction, but clearly the Chinari were leaps and bounds ahead of them. He felt a psionic murmur, and the huge Ukalik grinned. "Enjoy your last breath, human," he spat, as the pair of them vanished into the silver sparkles of transmatting. Garrett gathered that the psionic murmur, which couldn't penetrate his mind, had been an announcement, and as the world shimmered into reality once more, he was proven right. He was in an arena of crystalline sand, ringed by a metal wall and domed at the top with psionic force fields. An audience of Chinari was watching, and the various psionic murmurs he felt indicated their telepathic cheering to him - apparently, by turning this breeding exercise into a circus, the psionic race sated their need for bloodthirsty entertainment as well. A great throne was suspended in mid-air to one side of the arena, and in it sat the queen he'd met briefly earlier. A dozen ornately armored guards, all armed with crystal staves, hovered around her. Across the arena from him was the ogre-like Ukalik, separated by a sand expanse and a psionic force divider. The brute was picking weapons off a rack, settling for a club the size of a normal man and a huge jagged-blade scimitar. Garrett eyed the weapons in his rack. They were primitive, like Ukalik's. The Chinari, despite being so advanced, seemed to take perverse pleasure in providing ancient weaponry for their breeding stock. Perhaps it made sense - they were trying to see who had the best genes, not who had the superior technology - but the human captain nonetheless picked up an element of disdain in the Chinari's actions; they thought all other races completely beneath their advanced psionics and tech, and the primitive weapons they provided were illustrative of that. He crooked his lips in a grin. He would make a statement those upstart supremacists would never forget. One by one, he made a show of ostentatiously inspecting each weapon, before discarding them melodramatically over his shoulder. Despite his casual throws, they each landed perfectly point-down, imbedding themselves into the sand in a semicircle behind him. The crowd went wild, the psionic murmurs pressing on him as they psychically hooted, and Garrett smirked up at the queen, who seemed to shiver again beneath his gaze. He blew her a kiss - drawing a roar of surprised psionic murmurs - and turned to Ukalik, saluting him. "You're a fool, human," the ogre-like beast laughed. "But all the better for me." Garrett replied with a tight mysterious smile, and turned his back to the brutish asshole, as though dismissing him. The force divider across the arena vanished, and Ukalik charged across. His large stride took him to Garrett in the matter of several paces, but the human captain remained unmoved, still with his back turned as the brute swung his club- Then he moved, darting about with such efficient speed that not only Ukalik, but the Chinari crowd, searched for a moment. One moment the club was inches from crushing him, the next he was simply gone, appearing as if by magic behind Ukalik and tapping his back. Ukalik roared and swung around, and Garrett moved again, dodging a deadly scimitar swipe. With expert showmanship, Garrett stirred both his opponent and the Chinari crowd into a frenzy. Time and again, he dodged Ukalik's blows with instants to spare and catching the hulk's vulnerable flanks, only to tap him harmlessly. "You fuckin' bastard!" Ukalik screamed, outraged. "Stop dancing like an Alfarin and FIGHT!" And right then, Garrett caught the heft of the club in his right hand, stopping it dead in mid-swing as though all the force of a giant hadn't been behind it! "Okay," he said simply. Ukalik stared at him, dumbfounded, and Garrett ripped the club from his grasp and threw it away towards the metal wall, which cracked into spiderwebs at the blow. Ukalik recovered and swung his scimitar, but Garrett didn't even bother blocking. The jagged blade tore into the supersoldier's skin... and stopped, barely penetrating the human captain's tough flesh. Garrett uppercut the brute, snapping his jaw into his mouth with bone-cracking force and lifting the giant brute off his feet with the power behind his blow. As Ukalik landed heavily on one knee, dazed, Garrett plucked the scimitar from him and hurled it away at the other side of the arena from the club, where the blade was imbedded point-first, hilt-deep into the metal wall. The wounds on his side closed in instants, and the captain followed up his assault with a hard punch straight to Ukalik's gut, and the brute doubled over, collapsing to the ground and coughing up black blood. "You... bastard..." the hulk choked, the look in his eyes pure hatred. But Garrett ignored him, turning around and facing up to the queen. "I will not kill simply because the Chinari tell me so!" he declared. "I kill when I so choose, by my will and not yours." He was certain various Chinari were telepathically shouting outrage at his insolence, but the queen was clearly affected by his commanding tone, though not even her guards noticed. He heard the Ukalik's grumble behind him, and sensed an impending assault, but did not move. He would not finish this unprovoked. Ukalik punched him from behind, an attack clearly intended to shatter the human's spine, but Garrett didn't even flinch. Instead, the giant howled in pain, having broken the bones in his hand from that punch. The supersoldier turned around and regarded Ukalik's pain-filled face. "You chose this," he said, and snapped the brute's neck with a single, casually strong twist of his hands. Silver sparkles enshrouded his vision as the transmat took him then, and he reappeared in a luxurious chamber, a far cry from the dungeon or even the arena. Glowing crystals hung aloft in mid-air, and colored silks were draped over plush cushions. In the midst of the pillows lay a Chinari girl, fully nude as were the others he'd encountered, but this one's hair was fanned out around her rather than covering her charms. Her skin gleamed, clearly oiled, and her nipples hardened and her pussy moistened beneath his gaze; even these supremacist psions weren't immune to his pheromones or rampant virility. The transmat had not only teleported him here, but had removed his clothing and even all the blood, sweat, and sand from him; it was the sort of highly fine-precision transmat that was widely held to be impossible. A crystal jar hovered in mid-air beside him, full of a shimmering liquid crystal ointment; Garrett guessed that it was the psi-crystalline interface he'd postulated to enable the Chinari's cross-species fertility, and that he was supposed to massage it into his cock and balls. He crooked his mouth into a quirked grin; the Chinari girl shivered lustily at the look, and her eyes held a sultry come-hither look that he suspected most breeding girls didn't give their partners. Given his highly genetically recombinant cum, he didn't need any such ointment, as had been proven once they realized that Qihliani was pregnant despite being barren. He knelt before the Chinari breeder, and hitched up her legs, bracing his knees against her inner thighs as his massive shaft rose and swelled even further before her very eyes. Her mouth hung open, panting lustily as she watched a thick marble of precum bead on his tip and then drip hotly onto her belly button, wresting a low moan from her. Garrett pulled his hips back to allow his cockknob to press lightly into her tight virgin slit. Her eyes were glowing brighter as her pleasure heightened and her anticipation rose- And then Garrett seized her boobs, squeezing and fondling them with supreme skill, just as he slammed his piledriver into her hot wet fucksleeve cunt. The little breeder was unprepared for the sudden penetration of his pleasure-stick inside her lil fuckhole, and shrieked in overwhelming pleasure - actually making an audible sound with her mouth and not merely her thoughts - as the captain's rod pistoned inside her in hard, almost brutal thrusts, stretching her out to allow his girth to penetrate even further. In that one hard rough pound, Garrett had sunk fully half his length inside her tight hot pussy, and she thrashed uncontrollably around that massive shaft the bulged out visibly through her torso, limbs jerking spastically as her ecstasy peaked. Garrett grunted, sounding like a wild beast as her orgasming cunny spasmed convulsively around his meaty slab of manhood. He held her writhing body pinned by his grip on her sensitive tits as he pushed further inside her, watching the immense bulge of his piledriver go up her torso. He met slight resistance as he pressed into her cervix, then he popped through, forcing his way into her fertile womb as she screamed with ecstatic abandon at feeling this titan claim her hot core as his very own plaything....... It was hours later when the transmat brought him back to the dungeon. He'd fucked that little bitch in heat into a panting, drooling mess, and left her tummy bloated with life-quickening seed. He of course wasn't even winded, though he was breathing heavily simply from lust. The transmat had put his gladiator outfit back on, and Jaarik eyed him. "Took your time, I see?" Garrett favored him with a grin of almost feral triumph. "Nope, went fast and hard - many, many, many times." Jaarik barked out a laugh. "Until you appeared just now, I thought it would be Ukalik I saw returning. It seems I have severely underestimated you. I am glad it is you though." The sullen Fhillilla that had shared their cell earlier was gone, and Garrett guessed that he had been Jaarik's opponent. The old Haakti followed his gaze, and nodded. "I suspect that you and I shall be paired next, human Garrett." Sure enough, the silvery sparkles of the transmat snatched them away to the same arena in which Garrett had found himself before. This time, it was indeed Jaarik on the other side of the force field dividing the sand. The old Haakti selected an odd-looking sort of halberd, a long sturdy haft with an axe blade weighing one end, and a spearpoint on either end of the shaft. Garrett had no wish to dishonor the Haakti, so he too selected a weapon, though he didn't need one. Grabbing a short sword - which looked more like a long dagger in his broad hand - and a shield, he stood at attention and saluted with his sword in the Haakti fashion. Jaarik's eyebrows lifted in surprise, but he smiled tightly, pleased, and returned the salute. The force divider shimmered away, and the combatants strode warily towards each other. Where Ukalik had been all brutish fury, Jaarik was an intelligent, measured opponent. They circled each other, feinting here and there. Garrett didn't bother reacting to any of the feints and to his credit, Jaarik didn't react to any of the captain's. The supersoldier could feel the grizzled Haakti warrior studying his movements, trying to get a feel of his combat style, and intuited that Jaarik would not attack first, preferring to let Garrett expose himself first. Garrett mentally shrugged and obliged him. With a quick slash, he sideswiped the blade through the air, unsurprised when Jaarik blocked easily with his halberd. Jaarik on the other hand was very surprised when the blow connected with enough force that the pole cracked from the blow. Narrowing his eyes, the old warrior realized that Garrett hadn't even been using his full strength. "A worthy foe," he said between clenched teeth, and began matching Garrett swing for swing. The captain did not toy with Jaarik as he had with Ukalik. The Haakti was a noble man, and a creature of honor, and Garrett would not diminish that. Instead, with several brutally powerful, lightning fast slashes, he battered aside Jaarik's defenses, and bashed the Haakti's head with the shield, sending him stumbling back, slightly stunned and unable to flee. Garrett marched forward and put his boot on Jaarik's chest, pushing him to his back as he held the point of his short sword to the old alien's throat. The Haakti spat out a tooth, but a twinkle was in his eye. "An honorable combat," he rasped. "I yield. A marvelous end to this wretched life." But Garrett pulled back and turned away, holding his sword up to the queen, who watched from her hovering throne as she had before. "I do not kill simply because the Chinari tell me so!" he reiterated his earlier sentiment. He heard Jaarik's astonished gasp behind him, but did not turn. There was movement behind him as the psychic murmurs roared on the edge of his consciousness - the crowd hooting and jeering - but Garrett trusted the Haakti as he hadn't trusted Ukalik; the honorable warrior would not try a trick, futile though it would be. Instead, he heard the sickening sound of a blade penetrating flesh, and turned, surprised, to find Jaarik impaled on his own halberd, coughing up blood. "Jaarik--?" The old Haakti managed to smile. "They would have... killed... both of... of us..." He collapsed. Before Garrett could move to his side, the silvery sparkling of transmat took him to another luxurious lounge, where waited a new breeding toy for him. The captain made a mental note to himself to assign his Kossian doctor a new task, and then he set about claiming the newest girl who was to bear his offspring. He fucked her throat, her ass, her tits, and her pussy over and over, blowing 2 or 3 loads in each hole and slathering her in coats of cum so thick she was almost completely covered in stringy white jizz. When next the transmat snatched him away, it was not back to the dungeon as he had expected, but to the arena once more! This time, one of the Chinari queen's bodyguards faced him, hovering a few feet in the air over the center of the arena. His all-concealing armor was gold and silver and blue and purple, even more ornate than the other guards whom he had seen. In each hand he held a sharp crystal stave, their ends crackling with violet psionic force. His voice filled the arena. "I speak with your barbarous communication, creature, as you are so deficient as to be deaf and blind to the wonders of our minds. I am the Queen's Praetor, her mightiest warrior and bodyguard, charged with her protection and honor. You have mocked the Great Chinari Enclave today, and stupidly challenge our superiority - a futile effort on your part, as I will demonstrate to you, and everyone. Choose your weapon, creature!" Racks upon racks of weapons appeared in a shower of silver sparkles in a semi-circle behind Garrett. They were not just primitive weapons, but several rather advanced weapons too. None of them looked to be of Chinari make, but instead appeared to have been confiscated from their captives over the years. Powerful blasters and personal force field generators caught his eye as the most potent options among this offered arsenal. But he smiled crookedly and turned around, without selecting weapon or protection, beyond his hands and his primitive gladiator outfit. He stretched languidly before announcing. "The weapon I pit against the supreme combatant of the Great Chinari Enclave... is myself, and myself alone." Garrett could just imagine the Praetor turning purple beneath his helmet, and with a psionic cry of rage that couldn't penetrate Garrett's consciousness, the Chinari warlord dived down, swinging his staves. The supersoldier blocked both staves simultaneously with his forearms. The psionic fire tingled against his skin, blackening it, but his flesh began healing instantaneously. The Praetor had struck incredibly hard, with strength psionically enhanced beyond even Ukalik's, but Garrett had stopped the twin assaults dead, and the Chinari trembled, the force of the stopped blow reverberating through him. The Praetor snarled, and a visible blast of force issued from his helmet - a clear sign of direct psychic assault, but Garrett felt it as nothing more than another tingling sensation. The captain didn't give the Chinari time to recover, but instead snatched the warlord's throat. His fingers clenched, bending crystal and metal effortlessly to crush the arrogant Chinari's neck. Psionic electricity flashed all around them, as the Praetor thrashed in his grasp, throwing everything he had at the human in a desperate attempting to escape the inexorable grip. But Garrett ignored it, unfazed, and slowly but surely squeezed the life out of the Queen's Praetor with his bare hand. Dead silence fell, the psionic murmurs hushing as the crowd was stunned beyond belief. Garrett smiled grimly to himself as he let the Praetor's corpse fall. "Now, Orulolia," he murmured. Overhead, the Triumph warped insystem and unleashed barrages from its energy cannons that shattered crystal spires and pierced advanced Chinari shielding like it wasn't even there. More silver sparkling heralded Charter infantry appearing in the arena, led by the captain's Haakti tactics officer, who saluted him. "Secure the area!" she barked, and the jumptroopers activated their hoverpacks, leaping into the air to subdue the Chinari guards and soldiers. "Comm Dr. Celiveia and tell her to warp in," he ordered. Orulolia nodded and snapped off the order into her uniform's built-in communicator. As devastating violet blasts fired from crackling psionic disruptors to wash ineffectually against the Triumph's impervious shielding, another silvery sparkle could almost be missed in the bright display of deadly color as the Charter ship's Kossian doctor transmatted in. "I'm at you service, Captain," she said, saluting. "Ah, do you require... medical attention?" She was frankly mystified what sort of medical attention he might need, particularly since he knew as well as she did that her knowledge of human biology was scant. Garrett described Jaarik, Ukalik, and the anonymous Fhillilla to her and commanded, "Find and resuscitate, stat." "On it," she said, already scanning for matching lifeforms. The captain left her to her work, trusting her abilities, and looked up at the sky, where the queen's hovering throne was ringed around by her guards, who were looking uncertainly around, unable to escape the Charter jumptroopers surrounding them. "Need one?" Orulolia asked him, offering him her hoverpack, but Garrett shook his head. He bent down, gathering strength in his legs, and leapt - high into the air, so high that his perfectly calculated and timed jump landed directly on the Chinari queen's throne, his knees straddling the sturdy crystalline armrests. She gasped up at him, as he loomed over her, smiling crookedly. Her boobs heaved, but not from fright, and her reserve was so destroyed that her psionically controlled hair fell away from her previously bared privates. "Would you be my guest aboard my ship, your majesty?" he quirked his rogueish grin at her. It was later, on the bridge of the Triumph, that Captain Garrett Harcrow debriefed his crew. When he had been transmatted to the bridge, Marco had transmatted his uniform onto the captain as well, just to show off for the Chinari. "Marvel of engineering, cap'n," Chief Marco was saying, chewing on one of his signature matchsticks. "You couldn't tell from down there, I reckon, but it's a mobile planetoid." "We've done preliminary geological studies on its composition," First Officer Liosara put in. "Several of the materials don't match any known in Charter databases. Their claim that they've come from other galaxies may in fact be valid." "Them crystals," Marco shook his head. "They don't produce as much energy as heliotrinium, of course, but they do seem to be renewable - rapidly renewable in fact." "So, advanced," Garrett mused, "but useless to the Charter with our reptech." "Not necessarily, cap'n," Marco pondered. "I've scanned their lattice structure, and it could be excellent for imprinting information, both for storage and transmission purposes." "Further that line of study, Chief," Garrett nodded, "and submit your findings to the Brain Trust." "Aye, aye," the portly chief engineer saluted. "If I may interject, Captain," the Alfarin lass who served as his first officer cut in, "Dr. Celiveia's commed from medbay. Says that her Haakti patient wishes to speak with you." "I'll be right there." Garrett took the lift down to medbay and was there in minutes. Jaarik had been revived by the talented Kossian doctor and the Charter's advanced medical technology, and so had the Fhillilla and Ukalik. The Fhillilla was glancing all around in wonderment, but Ukalik seemed subdued, as if unable to process what had happened. He snarled in a somewhat friendly manner at the captain when he entered medbay. The Haakti swung his legs off his cot though, and saluted Garrett. "You didn't tell me you were captain of your own flagship. This thing's as big as one of our dreadnoughts." "Bigger," Garrett said. "So what exactly happened back there?" Jaarik tilted his head to the side. "We knew of a series of abductions scattered all across Charter space and beyond," Garrett told him. "It was clear the abductions used a masterful technique of transmat technology, and I made it our mission to discover the source." "You used yourself as bait," Jaarik realized. "Exactly," the supersoldier grinned. "The Chinari fell for it. I'd had a nanoscopic tracker and comm implanted into my shoulder, and my tactics officer was monitoring everything." "Everything?" Jaarik chuckled, and Garrett laughed, remembering his two breeding fucks. The grizzled warrior sobered. "I have a lot to catch up on. I've missed so much." "I recommend seeing Counselor Qihliani, she can help you adjust." Jaarik looked a bit leery of talking to a counselor - such things were generally counter to the tough grit and honor of his race - but he sighed, and nodded. "If you will excuse me, friend Jaarik, I have another guest I must check in upon." They shook hands. Garrett nodded at Ukalik as he left, who responded with a scowl that at least wasn't dripping with hostility. He took the lift up to his quarters, and was greeted with sight of the Chinari queen lounging upon his bed when he entered. "I see you're comfortable," he said easily, running his eyes lingeringly over her luscious form. She let her psionic grasp of her hair loose, baring her assets to him. Her pussy was puffy and pinkened, glistening with moisture, and her nipples stood at erect attention, begging to be suckled. She opened her mouth and spoke, haltingly. She clearly had never spoken out loud before in her life. "My name is Chiellanara, queen of the Chinari. By killing my Praetor, you have by Chinari law claimed his position." He had popped his tremendous boner in his trousers, tenting his pants considerably, and Chiellanara licked her lips, eyeing it. "I do not serve you, your majesty," he said, pulling off his shirt, baring his rippling, chiseled musculature. She sighed, half-resignment, half-lust. "No," she admitted. "But you have destroyed my people, having left us no way to reproduce. All of our men and most of our women, including myself, are barren. We must cull the strong from other races to survive." She cupped her full, luscious tit, fondling herself as her clit peeked out from her bald slit. "At least let the reign of the last Chinari queen be... pleasurable." He crooked his grin at her, watching her full ripe boobs rise and fall rapidly with her lust. "Well... I can let your reign be pleasurable, anyway." Not leaving her any time to ponder what he said, he slipped off his trousers, revealing his massive beast of a cock to her hungry eyes. He pounced upon her like a panther, landing gently atop her, and pinning her wrists down and bracing his knees against her inner thighs to hitch her legs up. "Yessss...." she hissed, almost writhing with the intensity of her need. He cocked his eyebrow jauntily at her, then drove his hips forward, splitting her plump lil bald pussy open around his veiny slab of cockmeat like an overripe fruit. Her virgin cunny was deliciously tight, and oh-so-wet, aching to be filled with the manhood of her new master, and Chiellanara shrieked with her delight as he pummeled her, deep, hard, fast, relentlessly, an unstoppable machine that filled her with nothing but pleasure. Her hard nipples scraped sweetly against his chiseled abs, and their flesh slicked sweatily along each other's as he fucked her. She drove her hips back up into his thrusts, desperately fucking herself on his titanic fuckpole as he stretched her tight lil virgin twat to take his incredible length and girth. With every pound, the visible bulge of his shaft slid further up her torso, heightening her pleasure and driving her into a frenzy. A powerful slam hit his cockhead against her cervix, and the next plowed right through, deforming her womb to take the massive cockknob invading it. Chiellanara's body was shaking so hard with rapture that she was almost audibly humming, vibrating around his thrusting cock. Garrett dug his knees into the bed and redoubled his pounding, jackhammering through her lush pussy and into her waiting, receptive womb which ached for his cum so much. Her lithe young legs wrapped around his waist, her heels drumming on his back like a hummingbird as he drove her wildly, mindlessly insane with sheer animal ecstasy. Shrieks guttered in her throat, ripped from her by his massive dick hilting inside her again and again as he grunted and groaned, sounding like a feral beast himself as he claimed her as his personal fucktoy, his personal plaything, his personal jackoff sleeve. The bed creaked and groaned as they fucked, the sturdy frame built specifically for the captain still unable to cope with the enthusiastic fury of the supersoldier's pistoning. The bulge of his elephantine cockknob was visible between Chiellanara's succulent tits, and as she juiced, her pussy clamped down around him like a wet, hot, velvet vise. Garrett's breath caught in his throat, his obese, meaty balls clenching, and he roared his triumph as he spurted thick hot blasts of jizz deep inside the Chinari queen's womb, doing the impossible and quickening her hungry, barren womb with not just one child, but many children. Chiellanara's tongue flopped out of her mouth as the pleasure became too intense even for her to scream, and she just gasped hoarsely, drunk on feeling her fondest craving becoming reality: the titanic man's spunk filling her very core, so copiously that it spilled out of her pussy staining his bedding. With another ferocious pound that drove a full foot of his cock into her well-fertilized, cum-bloated womb, Garrett slammed deep inside her with such force that the bed finally crashed to the floor. A high, shrill note of absolute euphoria ripped its way from Chiellanara's throat, and she fell limp, literally passing out from the intense pleasure of being thoroughly fucked as her new master's cock-sock. Several more spurts of spunk jetted into her womb before Garrett was spent, and he grinned down at her sleeping form, her head lolling back. He would enjoy fucking this one, and was ready to fuck her all over again once she woke. But until then... He spoke to the air. "Comm: connect to Counselor Qihliani." There was a moment, and then the pregnant empath's voice came through. "Yes, Captain?" "Come to my quarters at once, Counselor," he said, grinning as she submissively answered with an eager Aye, aye. ********** DISCLAIMER: This is always implicit in my stories, but let me make it explicit.
