Last night helped me out a lot. I felt a renewed sense of purpose. I may be stuck here but I'll be damned if I don't try and make this place a safe place. The last several days I spent getting to know all my mates from Lust. I still need to use Treasury to know what happened to Lilly, Jackie, Bath, Karla, Grace, Haley and Kiara.
I went to Lily's room first thing that morning, seeing she was at least still reading. This time it was a book titled Holes.
“Hey Lilly.” I said with a smile. “How you doing?”
"Hi Master." She said, putting the book down and using her tail to pick me up and slide me Into her cleavage. "I am well. Are here for me tonight?" Huh. Different from before. Looks like reading has helped her some.
“Yep.” I said. “Have you been enjoying reading?”
"The stories are enjoyable. I especially like the romance novels. I like to imagine us as the characters." She said in a love struck tone of voice.
“Glad you’re liking the stories.” I said happily. “Now…I need to ask you something important.”
"Anything for you Master." She said with a smile.
“Alright, so I’m going to…look into your memories.” I said carefully.
"I have memories?" She questioned. "Well, do as you wish Master. I am yours, body and soul. Especially body~" She added, giving me a kiss.
I kissed my Mate back, still hating how they were forced into this, but wanting to help them so much. “Alright, time to take a look.” I thought to myself as I used my ability to look into her past.
I was born to two loving parents. My mother, was a Fay, a nature spirit of the plants, and my father, a Floof Noodle, who fell for her instantly.
Since my mother wasn't like father, I was their only child. Which was fine for them.
We lived in a big tree, in a Zone called Eden. Here, plants grew large and flourished. The zone wasn't dangerous. Not in the normal sense. It prevented technology from working here. Even the Assistant was rendered a decorative tattoo in this zone.
I spent my life here, happy, knowing nothing but the plants, the animals, Mamma and Pappa. Still, as I grew, I yearned for more. To see more. To meet other people.
One day, I got my wish. A traveler came by, selling things, odd items, most of which did not work here in my home.
Despite my parents' protests, I left with him. Walking alongside them through my home and then, one day, outside it.
He taught me everything. How the Assistant works, what technically did what now that we were no longer within Eden. It all was a fascination to me.
I traveled with him for many years, seeing amazing things and fighting many beasts.
One day, a Lust Hunter came across us. Before I knew it, my friend was dead, and I was in chains.
I screamed and begged but all I received were punches and kicks. The chair was cold and the dark beings that entered my mind painfully took all that I was and who I am.
No mamma. No Pappa… no friend. No memories…
I love to service. I love to breed. Breed I did.
Many years were spent in chains on a bed, many people rutting and Impregnating me. Potions poured down my mouth forcing me to birth my accelerated grown young.
They removed me from that after some time. Putting me back in the chair, ripping my memories out once again and then placing me in a room.
I remember one day, an explosion. Lots of yelling and loud noises. I was yanked and pulled a long suddenly. Where I do not know but I traveled with my blindfold on for a time before being told to sit in a van.
Many hours passed, then talking picked up. A new voice. Then two. Soon my blindfold came off, and I saw them. My master, a small, handsome brown earth pony.
I am yours. Do with me as you wish. I am yours to breed and toy with my Master~
"Hello Master." I greeted with a smile.
I snapped back to reality, looking at Lilly…
“Oh…” I muttered sadly, hugging Lilly close. “I’m so sorry Lilly…”
"Sorry for what Master?" She asked. I hated that Greed prevented me from telling her.
“And Greed giving me a decent point…ugh…” I mentally groaned, remembering that I can’t save them or else they would go insane from the trauma. “Just…your loss…”
"Loss? I don't think I lost anything?" Lilly replied, pondering before shaking her head. "You look upset, Master. Would you like me to pleasure you to make you happy?"
"Not right now…just know you have friends and family that care about you…" I said, wanting so bad to give her back her time, her memories, but I didn't want to hurt her more than Lust already did.
"Okay. Will you be staying a while with me Master or will you be taking your leave soon?"
Well, I do have time. Plus it's been a while so, might as well spend the day with her at least.
"I'm here to spend time with you." I said honestly. "I have the time." I nuzzled into her.
She happily ate up the attention, giving me more passionate kisses before laying us both on the bed. While she did not try and get lewd she did keep me firmly between her breasts while she picked up her book and continued reading.
About two hours later when she finished it she put it back down into a pile of books, then pulled me up and began kissing my lips with a clear intent in mind of where she wants this to go.
"Hmmm~ Master~" She moaned in between breaths as she held me tighter and closer against her.
"Alright, since you did a good job." I chuckled.
She happily removed her only article of clothing and we did as we've done before. Lots of wet noises, sloppy kisses, and many rounds of love making that honestly felt less hollow to me than previous times.
It felt less like a necessity to keep her programming from harming her and more like… a genuine moment between us.
That made it all the more enjoyable for her and I.
The next morning I woke up with a yawn, gave Lily a kiss good morning and she woke up and returned it with one her own. "Morning Master~ care for a morning service before you depart?" She asked, still rather sticky and sweaty from last night but eager for more as usual.
"Nah, I'm good." I said, getting up and stretching. "Thank you Lilly."
"Always here for when you desire a release Master~" She cooed, giving me one last kiss before I left.
I went back to my room for a quick shower, then headed for Jackie's room. I found her playing with Fry, shaking a rattle over the human baby, making him laugh while her emotional support pet Snivy gently rocked Fry's crib.
"Hey Jackie." I said warmly. "How you and Fry doing?"
"Master." Jackie said, turning and facing me with a smile. "Little Fry here is doing well. I can't let him touch these plastic toys since his allergies will act up but I have been working on an alternative." She said.
I looked over at another table and saw what she meant. There was a few wood logs, one being carved out into the shape of a rattle, and several others already carved out into an elephant, a duck, a Snivy, all sanded down and polished.
"An allergy to plastic…" I muttered. "Well, it's great that you're doing this and taking care of Fry." I said with a smile, trotting over and nuzzling Jackie.
She returned the nuzzle with a kiss. "And thank you so much for Snivy Master. He has been very gentle with Fry and has helped me calm down when others are around." She added, giving me a face full of her breasts in a hug. "I'd very much like it if you'd let me… show you my appreciation Master~"
Wow. That's pretty bold. She also sounds way less monotone than before… also, air!
I tapped her arm quickly. "Air!" I wheezed.
"Oh! Sorry Master!" She yelped, pulling me out enough to breath. As much as I do enjoy them so… openly touching me with their breasts on and over me, it does get hard to breath when they have me face first in them. Mainly since they also have lots of fluff on them on top of being large and… lactose filled… "But um… are you still up for a pleasuring?"
"Before we do that, I want to do something first." I said
"Oh, umm.. you don't need to ask to do anything to me Master…" She said.
I was blushing a dark pink shade.
"Not that." I huffed. "I'm gonna look through your memories…the ones that were taken away."
"Um? Okay?" She said, confused.
I sighed, but placed a hoof in her hand and activated Treasury.
I was born to a mother, working in the Lust Brothels. One of many to that mother, and like my siblings, none of us got to know her.
We were all placed within a machine. It's inner workings turning our infant bodies into those of adults.
My brothers were taken elsewhere.
My sister's and I led down to a chair, where we were bound and programmed.
My cells and biology made it easy. I'm a hundredth generation Breeder. I was born for this. My mother, and her mother, and her mother before here all born for this life.
My body was desirable, so I was taken to the beds. Many laid with me. Many Impregnated me. Like my mother before me, the children I birthed were taken, and the cycle continued.
I had a regular. A large, rageful human male. He regularly purchased me. He was rough. He liked to cut me. Liked to break my arms. Bruise my neck. He liked to make me bleed and cry.
He said it made me tighter.
One day he had enough of me. Found a new, younger, more easily hurt brothel to rape and break.
Customers for me slowed.
I was taken off the beds, put back in the chair, and reprogrammed again.
I stood in a box, big enough to hold only me.
One day, I was told to follow, so I did.
My blindfold came off, and down I saw him. My Master. My owner. He was small. A small, adorable pony stallion. He was cute. He was small. He was nothing like the regular.
I smiled. Maybe he won't hurt me?
"Hello Master." I greeted.
When I came back I was hugging Jackie so gently, nearly crying into her neck.
"Um, are you alright Master?" She asked.
"I…will never hurt you." I cried, nuzzling into her. "I promise…I won't hurt you, I'll make sure your safe and happy."
Jackie was still and silent for a while, but soon she hugged me back, tight and firm. "Thank you!" She cried… "Heh. I don't know why I'm crying… that made me feel happy."
She can never know… she can never know…
“Just…know that thing’s will be alright…you’ll be safe Jackie…I promise.” I said softly. “And when I find that cunt that hurt you, I will make him pay.” I mentally growled.
I spent the rest of the day with Jackie. We had our meals together. I helped take care of Fry with her. We watched movies and read Fry a bedtime story.
When night came around I gave her the same treatment as Lilly, only I was gentle, and made sure she only felt pleasure.
When morning came I gave her a very happy morning, giving her a spring, and limp, in her step as we are having a quick breakfast. "This has been amazing Master. I love you so much~" Jackie said, feeding me our shared meal of corn beef hash.
Heh… guess I did make sure she was happy and well loved.
I can never let Lust or anyone who used her get away with that… and there are more… so many more… Raiding and hunting down their workplaces are a start but that would take time and a team… I'd hate to buy more from them but that would be fastest and safest for them…
I'll need to think this plan over.
I was snapped from my thoughts when Jackie gave me a deep kiss with lots of tongue.
“I’ll fix this…I promise.” I thought to myself, kissing Jackie back with just as much passion as she is.
When the kiss finally ended she smiled a huge smile, walking over to Fry and starting to nurse him. "So, will you be heading off Master?"
“Yeah, I got some things to do and other’s to talk to…and plan some things out…”
Jackie nodded. "Alright. Please visit again. I look forward to being with you."
I nodded. Honestly I'd have her with us, all of them, with us in the main room… but as is, it's cramped and there isn't much space. Mei is working on some… super science and magic tech to fix that but she is low on resources. She could cannibalize the ship's engine for that but I'd rather save it for in case we need to evacuate the town.
“So much to do still…” I sighed. “Hopefully we have enough time…”
I gave Jackie a kiss goodbye then headed out.
This has… been very enlightening…
I wanted to go straight to Beth, but… I need to discuss some things with Parker.
I ran over and entered his room. As usual he was working on something on his table from his couch.
"Need something?" He asked without looking away from whatever he was doing.
“I need some help planning some very important things.” I answered. “And it involves hunting down Lust.”
"Their factories, their brothels, their warehouses or their stores. Be specific."
“Yes to all of them.” I said. “Anything we can find, so we can burn them to the ground and stop this bullshit from happening.”
"You and many others on this planet have that same idea, but it's hard enough to find their locations let alone pull off a successful raid. Even then, production is only halted for a while. They'll rebuild quick and get back to normal as if nothing happened. You want to hurt Nexus, Lust and all the Chaos Guilds where it will hurt, you gotta find their Programmers. Or rather, Hackers."
"And where can we find them? Cause I'm sure that if we find some of their followers we can get something out of them."
"You'd be dead before you even saw their face if you tried." Parker said, putting down his device and looking at me now. "Their Programmers and Hackers aren't like you and me. What they have is something difficult to control and takes multiple layers of hell and effort to acquire. They have Code."
"Cause of fucking course they do…" I groaned, having heard about it a little bit, but being a gamer still after all this bullshit I knew how important code was.
"It's how they get to the Profile Data of people and make the Breeders, Slaves and Serfs. They also make the machines and potions that accelerate a pregnancy, age them from babies to adults, even the cloning pods and genetic reprogrammers. The Nexus Hackers made them and the Hackers themselves are, admittedly, a very small group. Most things it can't be more than a few hundred. A thousand at most but that's stretching it. It's a very rare power and skill to have and use Code. And to do what they do without being able to ascend into an Admin is even more impressive. Hence why Nexus keeps them all hidden. Private escorts and guards all around you."
"Nothing can ever be simple can it?" I frowned.
"That should be printed on a shirt for this planet." Parker chuckled. "If your goal is to rescue the Breeders, Slaves and Serfs, then unfortunately the quickest and easiest is to buy them."
"Which doesn't really solve the problem and just enables it." I countered.
"Unfortunately. To solve the problem and begin taking it out at the root, you need to kill the Hackers. To pull that off in any sense you need to be one yourself, on their level of skill and power with Code. But, since killing them will just hit a respawn for them, there's an issue there. So, how do you go about getting rid of a problem like that?"
“I just figure out a way to permanently kill them.” I stated simply. “There has to be plenty of ways…I’m scared that Gluttony might be the solution to that…”
"If you believe that then you're an idiot." I frowned. "There was a way, long ago. The leader of a Chaos Guild called The Majority did find a way long ago back in the early days of this realities existence. That caught the attention of the Family and Time Walkers alike. The leader slipped and got caught. The weapon he made and how to make it were erased from this reality. Only way to kill anyone now is to either be a Time Walker, a Level five Dungeon Boss, or a Void Admin. And all three of those are overseen by the Family and recruitment for each is a very shallow pool."
“And what’s stopping these Hacker’s from just going ‘here’s the ability to kill anyone permanently through our code work’?”
"Because only Grandmaster Lord and The Mother can make abilities. And only they can appoint someone a Level five Boss, an Admin or Void Admin. The Time Walkers have their own selection methods."
I rubbed my temple bitterly. “So basically, anyone here can get fucked and whatever sentience this planet has just enjoys watching people suffer.”
"There are two other methods." Parker spoke up. "Both are a different side of the coin, but the results are the same. A problem erased."
“Erased?” I inquired.
"The first method involves completely maxing out and completing both the Greed and Gluttony Dark Skill Trees. When this is achieved, the person received the Legendary Dark Skill, Consume. Much like how you eat others with your Symbiote and gain their genetic data, Consume allows the devourer to gain all their meals power, memories, skills and abilities. And, souls. Once you do the soul is said to be stored within a form of philosopher's stone that grows inside your body, further amplifying magic powers and rapidly accelerating your healing."
“Oh…” I said. “Well, if I was going to be permanently stuck on this hell hole because of the Dark Skill tree, why not double down and be stuck here for all eternity with no chance of leaving…” I frowned, still absolutely furious and sad that we’re all stuck here and there’s nothing we can do about it.
"The second method is just as hard but only requires us obtaining a Legendary Weapon. Second Chance."
“And…how rare is that weapon?” I inquired.
"Last I knew, only had two owners across all creation."
“Of course…” I grumbled.
"There might be a third option. The effects are temporary but it's astronomically easier to do and acquire the materials."
“And what’s this mystical third option?” I inquired.
"A rare but very powerful Elemental Energy. Humanity."
“I don’t think I’ve heard that before.” I brought up. “What is it?”
"To be perfectly blunt not to sure myself, but, it's power is rather potent. It can purge curses, ghosts, possession, mind control and hypnosis and external corruption from a person. Against Shadow Creatures it's almost a one hit kill tool. But, against someone who is rotten to the core, an unsavable Chaos Guilds monster, it can temporarily give them a heart. Filling them with kindness, regret and shame. It lasts only a few hours to a day per person but it can help us get information out of someone."
“That would be fantastic.” I nodded. “Now the only problem is finding one such Humanity gem…”
"I know where some of the only spawn points, well, known ones, are. Downside, it's guarded."
“Cause why wouldn’t it.” I groaned. “But where are they?”
"Closest one I know of from here is in the Gravity Zone."
“And what’s special about it besides the name?”
"Gravity isn't stable there. Walk ten feet, suddenly it's ten times stronger. Walk another ten and suddenly you're floating up. Jump high enough and you're standing upside down on a floating chunk of earth above you but from your perspective you're right side up."
“So like Super Mario Galaxy?” I asked, one of the few games I managed to play here and it was really fun.
"In a sense. I guess I can head out and get some. Our best chances are if we have enough for you to absorb but also for us to forge into a weapon."
“That would be great.” I nodded. “How difficult is it to get what we need?”
"It should take me maybe a month to get there and back. The hard part is the navigation." Parker said with a shrug.
“Considering how Gravity is completely fucked there, I can imagine.”
"In the mean time I'll also get back in touch with some old friends and associates from my raid days. With luck they'll be more than willing to help free this place from Chaos Guild rent collection. Though they are pretty intense so, when you meet them, despite her attitude she will be willing to help you."
“I just…really want to stop all this bullshit.” I sighed. “Thank’s Parker.”
"Don't thank me yet. If this town comes out of this clean and still in okay shape then you can thank me."
“If any dare to attack the town, they’ll have to deal with me.” Button stated simply.
"And that is why I'm calling them to help. They have extensive experience in fighting the Chaos Guilds. They managed to get a whole zone free of them. Granted the zone in question is one of the more deadly zones, it's bearable with no Chaos Guilds trying to shake them down."
“I can imagine a lot of things are more bearable without those assholes roaming around.”
"Once I leave they should make contact within a week or so."
“Alright.” I nodded. “Glad that we have a plan.”
With that I rushed off to Beth.
I found the eager Mother feeding her adopted baby son while many piles of knitting supplies sat next to her. At her feet was a small pile of baby booties and hats.
Looks like she's been real busy with that.
“Hey Beth, how are you doing?” I asked, glad to see Beth happy like this.
"Hello Master." Beth said, looking over at me with a smile. "One moment please." She said, pulling her baby off her nipple, burping them and then putting them in their crib. Once they were safe and sound she picked me up and placed me on top of her still leaking cleavage. "Are you here to partake of me?"
I tried to ignore the warm… wet liquid soaking my stomach… not easy since every tit of hers is leaking…
“Not at the moment.” I said. “I need to look through your memories…even if you don’t remember everything.”
"My memories, Master?"
“Yes…your memories.” I said. “It’s…complicated.”
She nodded. "As you wish Master." She said with a nod.
I sighed, and Activated Treasury-
Access Denied
… What?
“Excuse me?” I frowned, trying again and wondering what the hell is going on.
Access Denied. Possession in question is marked by another.
Marked by… what?
Initiate Override Protocol.
Wait what?!
Everywhere around me was… static. Like looking at a TV screen with no signal.
I was standing here, and across from me was… someone else. They looked like a Minotaur if I'm honest. A silhouette of black against an environment of black and white.
“And who the fuck are you?” I growled at the Minotaur.
The silhouette said nothing. Just manifested two axes from light, then charged.
I donned my armor and met his charge, firing off a bolt of magic from my horn towards the bastard that thought he could still call Beth ‘his’ when he abandoned her…left her like some common god damn trash but still thing’s he owns her!?
We clashed, the shockwave cracking the area around us. Still, the Minotaur pressed on, pushing against me.
I pushed back.
The ground that was under us was cracking. Falling apart from the pressure we were creating. With a smirk, I had Cheat send a spike right through their neck, sending them stumbling back and over the edge.
I win.
Override Successful. Information Available.
I was born on Armageddon. My home, a land called The Silent.
Here. No sound ever appeared. Not a voice. Not a rustling of the bushes. Not even the sounds of our own heartbeats were audible. It was mute everywhere. To travelers, it could quickly be maddening. To us, it was how we lived.
I was born a Den Mother. Meaning my pack's future was left to me to birth and care for the young and carry the new generation of the next tribe leader.
While we could not talk, for we did not even know how nor could, we could write, and speak through signals and motions.
A tournament was held, and among fifty eligible males, one became champion. My husband. The awkward, funny, Minotaur. My friend since infancy.
We were wed that day, and consummated our marriage that night.
My first litter with him was born on a hot summer. I loved them so, and he adored them all.
We went a thousand loving years, raising, caring and growing the pack and our young.
Then. The Chaos Guilds Came. My love fought them, but they were stronger.
I was taken. Taken outside the Silence of home and the noise. The sounds. It was terrifying to hear. To hear my own voice.
I felt sick to hear noise.
They put me in the chair, and my last feeling if illness from sound, was that of my own screams.
When it ended, I remembered nothing. Not my husband. Not my home. Not our children. Not even how the noises made me feel.
I was blindfolded. I was sat in a room. People touched me. Used me.
I was told to follow. I did.
My blindfold came off. Before me, stood a small, cute little earth pony. My Master. My Love.
"Hello Master."
When I came back… I had… no words… I just…
I didn’t say anything as…I thought that I just beat the spirit of her lost lover…oh god why…I shook my head as I brought over a piece of paper and gently wrote down something. I handed her the paper saying ‘i’m sorry’ as I now thought it was better for her on an emotional level if I…helped recreate the Silence.
"Hm?" She hummed, turning her head as she read the paper. "Sorry for what Master?"
I tried… but I broke, and started crying. She had… she has a husband! Family… and I just severed her husband's only link to her…
Cross Tree Skill Obtained. Love Thief, Acquired.
Oh you can piss right off!
“If you can hear me, planet! I will fucking murder you!” I mentally roared, not caring if it might be literally impossible, I will find a way to punch this damned place hard enough to cause the core to explode and whoever made this can suck my balls for the rest of eternity for all I care!
"Master!" Beth yelped, looking me over. "What's wrong? Are you unwell? Do you need comfort? Or first aid?" Beth asked… so worried for me…
I hugged her tightly. “I…I learned that…I…I’m so sorry…” I said sadly, crying harder. “I…learned things…” I said, wishing I could say something, anything, to her to show that she had a happy life before hand…but until I figure out how to strip Greed from me or at least murder that ‘mental construct’ so I can do what I want with my power, I’m stuck having all this knowledge to myself. “I’m so sorry…but…are you okay with sound?”
"Why would I have a problem with sounds Master?" She asked…
“Just…” I tried to think of a way around it, but I could almost hear Greed laughing at me as I tried to go against this horseshit. “It’s nothing…” I hugged her tightly.
"Okay Master." She said, sounding a little unconvinced but not saying anything.
Like the others, I stayed with her but this all felt… I felt disgusting…
Beth stood in the kitchen, cooking something with the dinner rations and I sat at the couch, eyeing her from here and… I didn't know you could hate yourself this much before…
“Whoever you are…I’m so sorry…” I thought to myself, deciding to distract myself and look through my Skill Tree’s to see if I could upgrade anything or get anything new. “Why…everything just keeps getting worse!”
I flopped down onto the sofa cushion. I closed my eyes… wishing this was a nightmare…
I was back in my mental head space but it felt… off. Where is everyone?
“Oh great, when I start getting roommates in here they all bail? Gee, I wonder why.” I growled, taking a deep breath as I tried not to get too pissed in my own head as I trotted around trying to find where people were.
As I searched I saw… no one. The cages were empty in the prison. The various me's were gone. The Sin Skill Tree me's were gone… not even Cheat or Keven…
“Fucking…come on…” I groaned. “Hello!? Is anyone here?”
Silence was my reply.
Okay… now I'm concerned. I walked around, still finding no…what?
I stumbled upon my old house in this place… but sitting there in the front yard was… me. Or, well, me as a foal. Propeller hat and all… little me was playing with some blocks.
“Uh…hi?” I asked carefully, trotting over to my younger self.
The younger me looked up at me, holding one of the blocks up to me with a smile. "Play?"
“Sure.” I said, gently sitting down and gently taking the block from my foal self. “Is mom inside?”
"I don't have a mom." Little me replied… okay?
“Alright…” I muttered. “So, what are you doing out here by yourself?”
"I'm mad at my dad."
“What did your dad do?” I asked softly.
"He's always mean to people. Makes them sad for his work, but I think he enjoys it."
I frowned at that, now knowing that this wasn’t me because my dad vanished into this world when my mom was pregnant. “Mind…if I ask who your father is?” I asked carefully, playing along with the foal version of me just to try and make them feel better.
"Everyone always calls him D-G."
“That is one of the names that’s ever existed.” I answered. “But…mind if I ask who you are? Like…who you really are?”
"I don't really have a name. But people always call me Ar… Ara…. arm… a long word." Little me said, placing the blocks in a pile on top of one another.
“Armageddon?” I asked, helping ‘little me’ finish the word.
"That's it."
I stood there looking at the little foal me… this… is Armageddon… a child?!
“I’m…I’m sorry what?” I asked. “No, no no, I must be going insane…you, Armageddon, the world that has every single end of the world scenario on it…is a child?” I asked slowly, so confused as to what the hell is going on now.
"A lot of people I meet say the same thing." Armageddon said. "Don't know why."
“How…how do you not know?” I asked, not knowing how the hell I’m talking to the World Soul of Armageddon but here I fucking am. “Another time…why do you, or others, like forcing people to stay?”
"I dunno. I told one guy once I wanted friends and, well, brought a lot of people here. Recently too." Armageddon said, now stacking toy cars onto the brick stack.
“Hold up, someone is…literally kidnapping people and bringing them here?” I asked in shock and horror.
"Yeah. Dad says I need to watch out who I talk to. Apparently a lot of crazy people live on me."
This kid has no idea…
“Yeah…there’s…a lot of crazy people…and a lot of very bad people living on you as well.” I said carefully. “Is…there any way I can talk to your dad?” I asked, feeling like if I could talk to this D-G guy maybe I could get some more context and information on a lot of this shit.
"No. He doesn't like most people. But he does like to make them sad."
“Yeah…I can imagine.” I sighed, gently moving some blocks around and making a track for the toy cars. “Did this person have anything weird on them? Like a symbol on their body or something?”
"He had a hand tattooed on his forehead." Armageddon said. "I thought he was cool cause he always killed all the big monsters, but he was just crazy…"
“Big monsters?” I asked. “What kind of monsters?”
"The giants and the living mountains and the… the uh… world… something… oh, and he even killed the iconic sin! No wait… Icon… yeah, Icon of sin! It was cool. It blew up into a chunky blood rain. Was like that for days there." Armageddon said with a chuckle.
“Uh…okay…” I said slowly, remembering hearing about the Icon of Sin and remembering it was a Titan class Demon and…oh boy. “Sure, that’s cool…but he work’s for people that do…very bad things to people…”
"I know. But not very many nice people can manage to talk to me. They have to be a certain level of evil, or so dad says. Like you!"
Excuse me what?!
“Hold on what!? I…I can’t be…” I said, starting to panic as I…I thought that I was…oh god…why?
"Are you okay? You look pale." Armageddon asked as he looked at me with a tilted head.
“No…no I’m not…” I said, tearing up as I thought, if this was true…just how bad things really are…how far…”I’m sorry…just…if you’re father’s right…I…I just wanted to help someone important to me…I…I can’t be as bad as them…”
"Who said you were bad? Evil and bad are different things."
…What?
“Uh…that’s…not how that should work.” I said, wiping away some tears. “Why do you say ‘evil’ and ‘bad’ are two different things?”
"Because they are." Armageddon stated. "Bad means you do mean things and enjoy it. It makes you happy hurting others. Evil means you just do bad things but don't enjoy or care for it."
Who taught this kid this?
“And…who told you this difference?” I asked carefully, now super confused as I was getting…literally all the mixed messages here.
"My aunt." Okay… weird family dynamic. A dad, no mom… and an aunt?
“And uh…who’s your aunt?” I inquired.
"Her name is Pain. She made all the monsters on me. And makes me cookies!"
“Wait…hold up…” I was immediately trying to wrap my head around this, thinking I heard the name ‘Pain’ before but just…so concerned by this. “So…you’re saying that you're…related to The Family?”
"All planets are. The Mother makes us, but whoever lands on us shapes us. Huh. I guess that makes The Mother my mom… but I've never met her so." Armageddon shrugged, rolling a race car down the little track we made.
“Wah…” I said slowly, so super confused right now. “Uh…okay, that’s a thing…”
"But, yeah, you're Evil. But you aren't bad. You help people! Like those girls with you, and you want to stop people making more of them. That's good, but to accomplish it, you have to do some evil."
… This is kid logic. Granted… he might have a point… somehow.
“Well…I kind of understand what you’re meaning.” I said carefully. “And…thanks…I’m glad to know that…well, the very world I’m going to be stuck on forever believes in me and thinks I’m still a good person.”
"Yay, friend!" Armageddon said, giving me a surprise hug.
Okay… just when I thought this couldn't get any crazier…
"Master?" Beth's voice called, a light shake and I was awake. "Master. The food is ready."
“Ugh…how long was I out?” I muttered, rubbing my head.
"Half an hour or so. Would you like to watch this movie while we eat Master?" Beth asked, holding up Wreck it Wralph.
“Yeah…but I need to process some…very important stuff I just learned…” I said carefully. “And…also talk to Parker’s friends…they will not believe this…”
Beth and I ate our meals and finished the movie… oddly, I think the movie helped solidify what Armageddon was trying to tell me.
I laid in bed next to Beth still feeling like a piece of crap… but, she's Beth now… who she was is… not there. Not anymore. Her reprogramming was… effective… there's nothing left of who she was before… nothing but her husband, kid and those memories of her from before this.
“Well…I have some context…” I muttered, thankful for my talk with Armaggedon.
So… I'm evil… but I'm not a bad person… yeah. I think I can live with that.
I rolled over, looking at Beth sleeping next to me… well. If I ever meet her husband or kids… I really hope… no with my luck they'll try and kill me first when they find out…
I sighed, giving her a kiss and falling asleep next to her.
The next morning, I woke up to her sleeping on top of me… well this is standard for the par…
“Morning Beth.” I said warmly.
"Hmmm. Good morning Master~" She cooed, giving me a smile. "I can feel you require my servicing~"
Well, if I leave her out of it now then she might get upset later. Especially considering how hard I plowed Jackie and Lilly…
“Well, I think you deserve some loving Beth.”
And so most of this morning I spent tending to Beth's needs…
I still felt like shit for what I did… hopefully if I ever meet her husband he'll, first, beat my ass. I pretty much deserve that… then maybe talk about how she was before.
With Beth happy and satisfied I gave her a goodbye kiss, and sighed as I headed for Karla. Is it wrong I was hoping she was either made in a lab or accelerated grown?
“It is very wrong…and I hate how I’m becoming desensitized to this shit…” I thought to myself bitterly.
I came up to Karla's room, finding the energetic, pink Den Mother Dire Wolf holding her adopted baby in one arm and reading a book called Pet Cemetery in the other.
Still find it weird she enjoys horror. But, I guess there are weirder things to like.
“Hey Karla.” I said with a warm smile.
"Oh! Hi Master!" She whisper yelled, closing and putting her book down and gently putting the baby back in their crib. She then rapidly picked me up and gave me a wet kiss. "Are you here to impregnate me more~"
“Well…I want to look into your memories first.” I said softly. “To learn who you were before…all this.”
"I was a me before me?" She asked… seriously she might just be an alternative Pinkie Pie…
“Yes…and I’m going to be looking.” I said, trying to look into her memories. “Please don’t be another married lady…” I mentally chanted as I really hoped it wouldn’t happen again.
With some hesitation, I activated Treasury.
The cold feeling lab was my mother. A collective of cells my father. I was born soly for testing out a new genetic Rewriting cloning machine. It would take in cells, and alter them l, grow them into a different form. Species, gender, my fur color is part of it. It will even mix and combine DNA from various samples to create a new being.
Artificial mixed breeds. I appear as a full blooded Den Mother Dire Wolf, but I'm very different genetically from them. The color of my fur is the proof of that.
When I came out of the vats, the makers of this machine that birthed me all clapped in celebration.
While they celebrated, I was taken to the chair, where my purpose in life was given. I was a Breeder. I exist to populate the planet with my Master.
I looked forward to it. To fulfill the reason I was made.
After I was blindfolded, I was kept in a special room where one of my machine mothers Makers kept tabs on me. Always they had videos playing with creepy words, noises, screams, cries and manic laughter.
Horror movies, I overheard. I liked it. The noise made me feel… scared. Scared was different.
One day I was finally purchased. My blindfold was removed, and before me stood my Master. An adorable, handsome little Earth Pony Colt.
I love you Master. Please, Fuck me. Defile me. Make me your plaything and keep me fat with your children~
"Hello Master."
Well that was… different. So, she's like Kara. Made from cells to be a Breeder, only through a different process.
“Alright…so good to know how you were…’born’...” I shook my head.
"I was born to please you Master." Karla said, giving me a kiss.
Unfortunately that seems to be very true… again, she's like Kara in that regard…
“Well…as long as you're happy Karla.” I said softly.
"The little one is gonna be asleep for a bit. Shall I pleasure you to your heart's desire Master~"
“Sure.” I nodded. “We can have some fun.”
And fun she had. When she wasn't tending to the baby, she was all over me. Even when we are… that gave me a new kink I didn't know I liked… at night she tucked the baby in their crib in her room, closed the door a bit, leaving it a crack open, put on a horror movie and then proceeded to ride me through it…
She was right… it did… make her tighter…
Needless to say we woke up on the couch.
I was tired, yet she was still wide awake and ready for more. "Please Master, more~" She said as she kissed me all over my face and lips while keeping my body firmly under her and locked between her thighs.
“I just woke up, and there’s things I have to do…” I groaned, feeling like my hips were mush as she probably kept going at it while I was asleep.
"Do you have to leave already Master?" She said sadly as she pressed against me with her whole torso, breasts and huge pregnancy belly bearing her full weight in me. "Don't you want to make sure I get even bigger, and more full with your offspring~"
Note to self, cell created/cloned Breeders are way more demanding sex wise than the reprogrammed ones…
“I have something's to do." I said. "I'll help you later alright?"
"Awh…" She said, finally getting up and off me. Oh good, blood is flowing from my crotch to the rest of my body again… ouch…
"I…can't really feel my legs…" I groaned lightly.
"I did all the work for you Master, but I might have sat on them for a while when I took a break around four AM."
Ah… so she was riding me while I slept… didn't think I could be that tired… or that my erections could last that long… those Fatherhood Skill Tree investments paid off more than I expected…
“Well…good to know…” I said, trying to get some feeling in my legs that’s not pain.
Still… four AM? Has she been awake all night? "Would you like some breakfast Master?" Kara asked as she walked around and put on her large cover shirt like nothing… how is she…
Again, I know Lust made her, literally, but what exactly did they make her capable of? Also, is she legit not tired?
“How are you not tired?” I asked worriedly.
"I'm always full of Energy! And I only need to sleep one hour a day!"
One hour of sleep a day? That's definitely… something.
Hmm. Time for Scan.
Scan Complete!
Name: Kara
Race: Synthetic Mixed Breed Den Mother
Gender: FemaleScans indicate she is currently pregnant with twenty nine embryos. Scans of her bodily anatomy dictate her to be a proficient birther, carrier, and caretaker of young and infants. Scans detect a special organ in her cell structure turning mana into glucose much like the mitochondria.
Brain, nerve and muscle activity functions are far more efficient on their energy usage thanks to the new mana consuming cell organ, allowing her excess of energy and requiring a minimum rest cycle of one hour daily.
Nervous system indicates her to have a pain tolerance akin to a rank 44 Pain Resistance Ability and rank 45 Pain Nullification Ability. In fact, they even seem wired to arouse her should she be inflicted with a typically painful Injury.
Okay that was… a lot of info…
“Oh…so that’s why…” I muttered, now knowing why she gets aroused by horror stuff and…why she likes it so much.
And knowing all that, she is basically the perfect Breeder for people like Lust… so, that raises concerns and Questions…
I took a quick shower and ate a fast meal with Karla before I had to go and see about Grace.
“This just…keeps getting worse…” I muttered bitterly.
As I arrived to Grace's room I could hear the music playing from here. It wasn't loud but in the quiet, empty halls it was noticeable.
I opened the door and chuckled. She was sleeping on a blanket on the floor, her adopted babies all against her. Heh. Man she loves napping.
I gently and quietly walked over and laid down next to Grace and all the sleeping children, gently putting a hoof on Grace as to not wake her up as I tried to look into her memories.
It was always cold. For as long as I could remember, my birthplace here was always cold. An endless winter of ice and snow.
As a Den Mother, my milk kept our pack alive through the long months. Still, I needed to eat too. So, when the snow was light, the pack hunted. If there was enough, we'd all eat. If there was little, I'd eat, nurse the others to fullness, and then, we'd sleep.
I didn't mind the long sleeps, but the cold, and the hunger were not that easy. My stomach was always hungry. All of ours were. Food here was little, but we managed.
The cold, even with my coat, sent chills to my bones. Even huddled in piles with my pack mates, we'd still be so cold.
One day, a stranger came to our den. Whether pitty or greed, he offered us a new home, to warmer places. All it would cost was our freedoms.
We agreed without hesitation.
My male pack mates were all sent to a group called Violence, and I was taken to a Place called Lust.
It was warm here. The stranger did not lie, and that made me happy.
I was given a large meal, warm rags, and slept.
When I was awoken, I was taken to a place with a large chair and more strangers.
The one who brought me said I would become a Breeder. And since I was willingly here, I could keep my memories.
I was fine with becoming a Breeder, but I asked him to erase my memories. I don't want to remember the cold… I don't want to remember the hunger pains… it's not like that was a life worth remembering.
I sat in the chair, and sighed, happy as it all was taken away from me.
For a while, I was kept in a room. I laid on rags, people would touch and use me, but I didn't care.
I don't remember why. But I was just happy I was warm.
I was told to follow and did.
My blindfold came off. Before me stood my Master. A small, adorable, brown earth pony stallion.
I love him. My Master… He looks so warm.
"Hello Master."
I cuddled up close to her, wanting to keep her warm. “I’ll keep you warm and safe…” I whispered softly. “No more hunger…no more cold…”
Grace, still asleep, happily pulled me against, almost under her, and we both slept.
Some hours later, her babies began to cry. Likely hungry.
She awoke with a yawn. "One second baby- Master!" She yelped as she got off me. "Oh, I'm sorry. I did it again."
“No, you didn’t do anything.” I said gently. “I looked into your memories…and I promise you, you’ll be warm and fed.” I said, giving her a quick hug before pulling away so she can help the babies.
"Um, okay?" She said, confused but began changing then feeding them. "So, are you here for my body Master?"
I felt my crotch wince. Yeah, still not up to it after Karla… definitely later.
“Not right now…” I said carefully. “I’m still…recovering from Karla…”
"Oh. I suppose she would be exhausting. She has so much energy."
You have no idea…
I shook my head at that thought. “But how have you been doing?”
"I have been well. The little ones enjoy the music, both they and I find it easier to sleep with some playing. I keep it low enough that I can still hear them when they cry though."
“That’s good.” I nodded with a smile. “I’m glad your doing well.”
"It has been much more enjoyable since you gave me all this music Master."
I smiled, nuzzling Grace as I felt better hearing this, knowing that I was doing good even if I’m doing…evil things.
"Will you be staying long with me Master?"
“Yep.” I nodded. “Gonna be spending time with you.”
"Oh, would you be… fondling me, during our time together?" She asked, blushing.
Her shyness is actually really cute. And very different from the others.
“Maybe.” I shrugged. “Just want to spend time with you and the kids.”
She smiled, giggling as she finished feeding the babies and burped them.
Once they were all back on the soft blanket and either crawling around or playing with one another, Grace moved over and sat next to me. "So, what will we be doing Master? If not filling me with your seed would you enjoy viewing my body?"
Ah… there's her Breeder programming.
“Just want to spend time with you.” I said honestly. “No need to be lewd, I’m just happy to see your smile.”
"Then I will smile to make you happy!" She said, giving me a big smile.
I smiled as well, just glad to see her happy and doing well right now.
For the most part we just spent today cuddling and playing with the babies. When night rolled around and the babies were asleep I indulged in Graces kinks. Some hefty groping and foreplay, followed by me rutting her while she slept.
Honestly felt really weird but she woke up the next morning with a huge smile and kissing me non stop. "Oh thank you Master! Thank you! I feet so used~"
Well, guess it's true what they say. It's always the shy quiet ones…
“You’re welcome Grace.” I said warmly, nuzzling the den mother happily even if I helped her with the strange kink.
I knew she was very happy because her tail was wagging like crazy.
So, after breakfast, another shower I left Grace with a good kiss goodbye and headed off for Haley.
“So far things have been…getting a little better…” I muttered, glad that thing’s are feeling a bit better instead of me feeling like absolute shit. I still felt like shit but…less so.
I arrived at Haley's door, opening it and seeing… what the?
The room was… very different. Before it was pretty empty. Now there's books and notebooks and chemistry sets and various electronics and machine parts… and there Haley sat typing away very quickly at a computer… how in the?!
“Uh…hey Haley, I see you’ve been…busy…”
"Master." She greeted, stopping her computer work and standing up. She seems to have traded in her single loose fit shirt for an… exposing, leaves little to the imagination… pantless lab coat. "Are you here for sexual release? I am more than properly dressed for work and your satisfaction."
It… I… she's clearly so smart and still… wow… also… crap that is so hot!
“Uh…wow…” I blinked. “Uh…I want to look through your memories before I ask…how in the world you did all this so fast.”
"My memories Master? If you wish, but I don't recall anything before you." She said.
I have a feeling this one will be interesting.
I was born on Homeworld. To a litter of five brothers, and two sisters. Of this litter I was the youngest. My parents were normal, my mother was like me, a Den Mother and her pack full of various males. One of which was my father. Biologically anyway. Truth be told they were all my father's. Each one treated me as their daughter.
From a young age my intelligence was clear as the cloudless sky. By my first birthday I was reading, writing and speaking full sentences. By age five I completed all the mandatory education. By age fourteen I gained multiple diplomas in various fields of science, magic, mathematics, physics, engineering, rune craft and many more.
My siblings by this point all had specific fields. One of my brothers became a mechanic. Another, a pharmacist, my third brother became a boxer. My fourth a robotics and synthetic being repair and recovery specialist, my fifth, a porn star. Both my sisters went into cosmetics.
I grew bored of my lab and works in the magi-sciences. It was one thing to make and build these amazing things, but it was another to see them in use. Helping those who need it.
One day, I made a decision to bring my genius and creations to a place where the people could really use help. Armageddon.
My trip to the planet was successful. My entry was less than ideal. Apparently the Welcoming Committee can indeed detect stealth fighters with advanced stealth magics. Easily even.
I'll correct that later.
I crash landed in a zone filled with the undead. Less than ideal, but manageable. Some barrier spells kept them at bay long enough for me to bury my ship, and most importantly, the lab hidden inside.
I stood no chance on this planet without aid, and I believe few will desire to work with me regardless of my intelligence. So, I took a calculated gamble.
I gave myself to the Chaos Guilds.
I had hoped they'd see my intelligence as a usefulness, and they did… but, for different reasons.
They saw my intelligence as something worth passing along. They would turn me into a Breeder.
Fighting back was no use. I wasn't a power house like others, my skills were in my intelligence and planning.
I submitted, but asked they leave my talent for learning and my intellect fully at my disposal as a Breeder, even at the cost of all my memories.
By a miracle, they agreed.
Into the chair I went. I could only hope my gamble pays off one day.
I spent a year on display, being fondled and played with, but never purchased. Eventually, I was told to follow. My programming had me obey. Soon, my Blindfold was off.
Standing before me was a small brown coat feral Equis earth pony. He was… he was…
He was…
He was my Master…
I want him! Logic and reason be damned!
"Hello Master." I greeted, eager to please and arouse my Master night and day.
Wow… okay… that is a lot of info… also she might be Greg's sister meaning… I might still know family of hers… and also I fucked and impregnated her…
And will probably continue to do so for many years to come…
“Oh boy…” I sighed, rubbing my temple. “Alright, so I know why your super smart and able to do…all of this.”
"Is my intelligence relevant to me servicing you Master?" She asked, kneeling down and… wow those straps on the lab coat pop off easy…
“Well…it can make certain thing’s a hell of a lot easier, like building a communication tower that was…a long ways away if memory serves.” I said, thinking about how much shit we still had to do.
"There are already various radio equipment, whole and in parts as well as antennae around. Setting one up would be easily accomplished." Haley said matter of factly.
“Alright, so the long range communication should be easy now…auto defenses would be great as well if you can figure that out.” I said honestly, thinking about what her brains can do and so super thankful that her smarts were still here.
"Given what I know I could definitely achieve that, but it's simple work. Wouldn't you rather I suck you off and drain your balls down my throat?"
I nearly fell over. That was the most blunt ANY of them have been with saying their various versions of 'fuck me Master'.
“We need to keep the place safe for everyone, and you’re knowledge and smarts is really important to me.” I said. “You can suck me off later.”
Haley sighed. "Very well Master, as you wish. I will suck you dry once a communication network is set up and some automatic defenses are ready to be installed." She said, walking over to the various parts and items she had around.
I sighed. Good grief I think her super smarts also make her super blunt as a Breeder… still, I'm surprised she was able to keep it. Hard to imagine Lust as having some honor system. Though her memories mention she buried her ship and lab in a zone filled with Undead… I wonder if-
"Done." Say what?! I looked over at the table she was at, seeing some flip phones, an antenna with cable mounted outside the window, the cable went into a metallic blinking box, and three wall gun turrets all there… HOW?! It hasn't even been five minutes!!
“How!?” I asked in exasperation.
"Oh, simple I took apart all the components into their base parts. Wires, circuit boards, microchips and such then used my Assistant to rebuild a motherboard for the antenna here from an old PC that can give us a means of cell coverage for at least the immediate two hundred miles, then I reworked these cell phones here to pick up signals over the special radio wave the antenna runs on. Easy since majority of cell phones have radio features built in. As for the wall gun turrets all I did was hot wire some cameras, a raspberry PI motherboard and program in a facial recognition program and then mound a .32 with a drum barrel and presto, auto turrets and working phones." I stared at her in disbelief… "Now onto me sucking your balls dry Master." She said, dragging my too stunned to resist body to the bedroom.
“It…it was barely five minutes…” I muttered, completely dumbfounded by this.
Needless to say… she earned the right to suck me dry…
And indeed she did…
Multiple times. Each time as a reward for making more working phones, signal boosters to extend the range of the service, and turrets.
By the time there were enough phones, boosters and turrets for what we needed I felt like I wouldn't be producing little soldiers for a while…
Still, come morning I woke up to Haley looking rather smug with that smile. "Good morning Master. Is there anything else you'd like me to make in exchange for more of your time and semen?"
“I just want you to know that I’m happy you're here, not just for the sex and I’m glad you still have all your smarts and want for knowledge.” I said honestly.
"If my intelligence and skills obtained through my self teachings can make me of use to you and help you to indulge in my body then I will gladly continue to learn, build and give you all the Sex you desire Master."
Yeah… should have guessed the point would fly right over her…
I sighed. “It’s more than just sex…you’re smart enough to know that.” I said, not caring about what her programming says she’s smart enough to take a goddamn hint.
"I am indeed smart enough." She said making me do a double take. "But my programming forbids me from prioritizing it."
She's…
I laughed… I laughed super hard. She's self aware! She's smart enough to be self aware of her situation!
“I’m…I’m so glad to know that.”
With a nod and a smile, she stood up, fully naked but currently she's not tending to infants and the only babies here are in her womb. "I shall get you a protein rich breakfast. Given last night's events I imagine you will need a heavy protein breakfast to be ready for our next round of crafting and love making~"
Now I'm questioning if she enjoys her situation? Heh… either way. She's aware of it… meaning Breeder Programming isn't perfect. There might be ways to help them all!
“Even if it might be difficult…and there might be a challenge on the aftermath…I can save them…” I said with a growing smile and hope in my heart.
Haley's protein rich breakfast was all eggs, bacon, and milk right out of her tit… was definitely delicious…
I gave her a goodbye kiss and told her to keep making the items and I'd be sure to do more than let her blow me…
Even with context that sounds wrong… ugh… when did my life get so sex filled? Oh yeah…
I shook my head. One left to know their past. Kiara.
“Alright…just Kiara and hopefully I can get some other things done…” I muttered.
I entered Kiara's room and- woah… it also got a major overhaul…
Lining the walls were rifles, assault rifles, machine guns, pistols, shotguns. Every table and shelf had either ammo or weapon accessories, and there sitting in a coil at the dinner table sat Kiara cleaning her own giant 'Baby' rifle just like Tiara's.
“I see you and Tiara hit it off with your love of guns.” I chuckled.
"Hello Master." Kiara said, carefully placing her weapon on the table before using her tail to scoop me up and drop me into her chest and arms. "It's so good to see you again."
“It’s nice to see you again Kiara.” I said with a smile. “How are you doing?”
"I'm well. Are you here for my services Master?"
“Well first, I want to look through your memories.” I said honestly.
"Memories of what Master? If you want to relive a prior pleasing I'm more than happy to do what I did last time."
I took a big, slow, inhale of breath.
“Not that…” I sighed. “I’m meaning your memories before you became…a Breeder.” I said, putting a hoof to her head as I just decided to look before she could question me more.
"I don't remember ever not being a Breeder?"
I sighed, activating Treasury.
"Hello Master."
What the? It was just… me. No prior history just… saw me that that's it?
“Hold on what?” I blinked, now super confused, trying to look at her Time again and wondering what was wrong and…really hoping it’s not another ‘Love Thief’ thing.
No… no last time I didn't even get to see anything. Gave me a message when it was that… so… what is it?
Every time I used Treasury to see her past, it was the same. Just her, opening her eyes and then seeing me. And that was it.
"Something wrong master?" Kiara asked, confused as she not so subtly pushed my body in between her multiple big breasts.
“Uh…yes, actually.” I said carefully. “Someone did something to you so bad that these stupid Dark Skill’s can’t tell me anything about you…”
"Someone did something to me? All I remember is you rutting and impregnating me?"
I would face hoof but my legs are currently stuck under her second left and right boob.
“Right…” I said, now so confused as to why this was happening.
"Would you like for me to pleasure you now?"
“Sure.” I said, wondering why she didn’t have a past, cause everyone else had a past, even the ones that were literally vat grown…something’s not right here.
I spent the day with her basically in bed, making her feel happy and pleased. At night once she fell asleep I kept trying Treasury again to no avail… alright, I really don't want to do this…
"Well, you're back." Greed said as he ate an apple.
“Only reason why I’m not here to murder you is because I need some answers.” I said carefully. “Like why I can’t see anything about Kiara’s past.”
"Uh. You did. You saw when she met you. That's all the past she had. Save the more recent stuff with all the Sex and such."
“So you're saying that she…literally doesn’t have a past?” I asked, now confused here. “That…that doesn’t make any sense, everyone else did…”
"Well she doesn't, so that makes her unique. After all only one group in this existence can mess with time still."
I frowned. “Still…that would imply that a Time Walker did this, but that’s impossible…right?” I asked, trying to think of why they wouldn’t have any Time before becoming a Breeder, cause I’m pretty sure if they were a Prize Pod I would have still saw them get awakened and sold off or something…
"Dunno. Maybe a Time Walker went bad. Maybe she was one and some overkill fail safe erased her past from existence. Maybe she's just a freak of nature? Who knows." Greed shrugged as they took another bite of their apple.
“I know your supposed to be a part of me from these stupid Dark Skill tree’s but still…” I frowned, hating how even they don’t know what the hell is going on.
"Well whatever the case, she's ours now. And she is willing and ready for whatever we ask." He chuckled.
“Yes…yes I know…” I sighed. “Uh…this sucks…”
The next morning I ate breakfast with Kiara, who was in a very happy mood given I slept with her.
All of them were always in a good mood after I did.
I gave her a kiss goodbye for now and left.
Right now I need to think. To clear my head and maybe find a solution to this problem.
I ran along the rooftops. Giving a hard flap and gliding across some, Tiara helped a lot with that, and eventually stopped on top of the roof of a farmers market. Some loot was here and a few cars and one huge RV was in the parking lot, but I need to think.
“So many things…” I muttered, shaking my head as I thought about…everything that I experienced.
"Hey, wanna talk?" Cheat asked.
“Please…cause there’s just so much I have to think about and…just go over. Especially the fact that I literally talked to the World Soul of Armageddon! And they're a Child!”
"Oh is that what that was? Huh. I thought for a moment you were having a stroke when that happened. Cause from my perspective everything was just dark and really quiet for a while."
“Yeah…I just went to sleep cause I felt absolutely horrendous after…becoming a Love Thief after claiming Beth away from her actual husband…then me and Armageddon talked…and they said I’m a good person, Evil, but not Bad…which I think they mixed up the two cause they said that Bad people do thing’s because it’s fun, Evil people do things because they have to and hate doing it.”
"Makes sense to me. Then again I'm a Sociopath so not sure how much comfort that can give you."
“That’s fair…but at least the very planet we’re on understands that this isn’t a fun place and just want’s friends…which is why Nexus is apparently kidnapping people and dumping them here…”
"Well, that's not good."
“Yeah, not good at all.” I mentally sighed. “Also, said his dad was named D-G and his aunt was named Pain…do you know either of those names?”
"Nothing on D-G but… Pain… oh boy…"
“Who’s that?”
"Pain is a member of the Family. One of the few that help govern evil or whatever. Her title is The Mother of Monsters. Every Monster in creation is of her making. Even if they weren't before this world came into existence they are now. She also is a co-ruler of Void Energy."
“Oh…oh no…” I thought in horror. “So…don’t upset him or else I have a very pissed aunt to worry about…”
"Maybe? I don't know but don't tempt fate. So, what else is on your mind aside from me?"
“All the thing’s with the Breeders…me still feeling like shit…apparently Kiara doesn’t have a past like…at all.” I said honestly.
"So, are they not making you feel good?"
“Sexually they make me feel good…but there’s just…so much shit to go through…” I mentally groaned. “Like how Haley is so smart that she knows she’s Programmed and the fact that Lust made sure to honor her wish of keeping her stupidly insane smarts intact…seriously, barely five minutes and she did something Parker said we were going to work on for well over a year…”
"Sounds like she earned that pounding."
“Currently she just sucked me off for hours…unlike Karla who decided to rid me till four in the morning.” I shuddered in mild phantom pain.
"Kinky."
“Also, I know why she gets aroused by Horror…because she is pretty much immune to any and all physical pain…”
"Double Kinky. Sounds like she can take a paddling, pounding and some tasers, clothes pins, maybe some light choking ~"
I forget how much of a sex freak Cheat is…
“Can we not talk about your sudden influx of fetishes please?”
“No, we must talk about it more.”
“Ugh…” I groaned as I heard them give an adorable gremlin laugh at my plight.
"So, aside from having possibly the most readily available BDSM partner at your beck and cock what else is up?"
She… did not just…
“Did you just fucking…” I started to question.
"Yes. And I'll do it again."
“I’m gonna need you to cease and desist please.”
"You'd better take me to court if you want me to stop, and even then good luck!" Cheat declared, giving an overdramatic evil laugh.
“Ech, why do I put up with this?” I playfully whined.
"Because when I got it my flanks are addicting and I happily enable your addiction to it~"
“And boy did I learn the phrase ‘hips don’t lie’ real quick…” I sighed. “But back to the main topic so we can get away from the horny-”
“Can’t stop, won’t stop.”
“As I was saying! I have a lot of planning to do to try and figure out…but thankfully the only thing we need now is a Farm.”
"Well, that can't be too hard right? Just wall off a big section, break up all the buildings to rubble, clear the rubble out, break apart the ground and foundation and plant in the dirt right?"
“It…should be that simple, but I don’t know.” I said honestly.
"Well, why not find a big park or something and use that? Would be faster and with your sexy fey snake should get them to adult crops fast enough. Add in an insensitive for her by saying if she gets it all done fast and they're ready to harvest then you'll knock her up again first after she and all the others birth your many, many, many, many, MANY babies."
She had to remind me with all them, I've basically fathered just shy of a hundred kids…
“Please…don’t remind me that I have so many unborn children and I barely know how to be a parent…”
"Oh relax. Besides, counting the babies and kids you Orphan-Adopted that's well over a hundred."
“Yes, and I’m still upset that I’m barely a father to them and that every time they look at me or hear me they flinch in fear…” I grumbled.
"Well to be fair, trauma isn't easy to face. Even mind wiping can only go so far. Maybe we should see about finding a psychiatrist or something for them."
“Yeah…that’s something we really should find. And thankfully we have that wide range communication array, hopefully we can find some other people that were brought here against their will and…maybe also find a therapist.”
"So, anything else?"
“Just…got so much work to do…hopefully I can start finding some Lust hubs and start taking them down even if I have to hunt for literal Gods that can alter reality with Code on a damn whim…”
"Well, that's probably not gonna be easy-"
"Ahhhhh!"
Immediately I looked down at the RV, where to my surprise an earth pony mare, dirty blonde mane, tale, and cream colored coat ran out wearing sunglasses and looking… very very terrified.
"Well that's odd. I didn't detect anyone nearby earlier?" Cheat said.
“Neither did I…” I frowned.
“Where the buck am I!?” I heard the poor mare scream in fear.
"Think she's a respawn from elsewhere? Though, she sure doesn't look like an Armageddon survivor. Think she may be one of those abducted the planet told you about?" Cheat asked.
“I doubt it, cause she looks and sounds like…me at the start.” I said, jumping off the roof and gliding down. “Hey, up here!” I called out to the mare in question.
She looked up at me, backpedaling a bit before falling on her flanks. "P-p-pa-Princess?" She said questioningly.
"Ha!"
I landed in front of her. Well… I guess to a fresh arrival I do look like one… especially having such feminine features….
"You're welcome."
“Shush you.” I mentally countered. “So, I’m actually a guy. The names Button Mash, who are you and…how did you get here?”
"I uh… what… but you're so… princessy!" She replied. "Wings and Horn, and tall and… am I dreaming? Oh sweet Luna please let this be some weird sick dream…."
"Well, half guy. You do have a vagina. Our daughter and the various items I've shoved up there prove as much."
“Please shush!” I mentally whined. “Ma’am, I’m gonna need you to calm down and take a deep breath.” I said. “Tell me who you are, and how you got here?”
"Uh… my name is Lovely, Lovely Days and… I was just in my house. I was pissed about… an argument… I flipped a table then… I heard like… static? Then there were these green numbers… then darkness then… then I fell. Then I woke up in there… why is there some creatures head in a sink in there?" She asked shakily.
I blinked, staring at her as…that was literally what happened to me. “That…the static and green numbers…that’s just like me…” I said, before my ear twitched as I heard a zombie. “We need to go, I know a safe place and I’ll tell you everything from there.”
"Wait but- is that a zombie?!"
I had to magic carry her back to town. Once she was safe inside it was time for some questions… and to break some news…
“Alright…so good news, you are in a brand new reality, where anything is possible and everything exists…and bad news, you happened to appear on quite literally the worst place imaginable, Armageddon.” I said to Lovely Days.
"Armageddon… who names a place that? Also, why am I here?"
“The person in charge of all evil in this infinite universe decided to take every possible world ending event and shoved it into a planet.” I answered the first part. “And secondly? Why you’re here in this reality? No idea, it’s called ‘Isekai’ and it happens fairly regularly…and why you’re here on Apocalypse as a starting off point? Fuck if I know, cause whoever decided to drop you down here is kind of a cunt.”
"I… I just… I still can't process this… I still think this is a weird dream but… never had them show so much… blood and decaying walking corpses of creatures…" She said, looking around and fixing her sunglasses back up.
“Trust me, it was tough for me my first time in this world.” I said honestly. “Now I didn’t appear on this planet first, I was in relative safety finding my long lost dad and getting girlfriends and being a video game nerd in an rpg world…so yeah.” I sighed. “So, to take your mind off things, mind telling me your story? And what’s with the sunglasses?”
"I uh…" She put a hoof to her glasses. "It's just… I don't like other people seeing my eyes."
“Is it because you might feel different or because of something else? Cause if it’s the ‘feel different’, I literally became an alicorn from an earth pony because I had a symbiote, that’s also my girlfriend, help me eat a pegasus and unicorn zombie and I was able to turn into this through weird shenanigans with this thing.” I brought up my hoof to show my Assistant.
"I uh… they don't look normal."
“You can trust me.” I said softly. “Can I please see your eyes?”
"I'd… I'd rather not… " She said, sighing and rubbing her temples. "Is there somewhere I can nap and… process this?"
“Sure.” I nodded, leading her to one of the spare guest rooms. “If you need anything, just call for me alright?”
"Uh, sure." She said, walking inside and closing the door.
"Well she's neat."
“Yeah…though this is very concerning to hear she was just…plopped down here.”
"Well, from what I heard back before the churches were set up that's how it went. The Isekai would just appear randomly on a planet. In the street, in a dungeon, wherever. The Churches act as a beacon of sorts, since they seem to appear here in a means pretty similar to a teleport, but it draws them to one of the vacant rooms. Armageddon has no safe zones let alone a Church of The Mother so, no such luck."
“So they decided ‘let’s throw them towards the closest person that wouldn’t maul them to death’?”
"How should I know? You don't even know why or how you got here."
“Fair…but I still find it weird how it was basically the same thing…static, then those green numbers everywhere…” I shook my head.
"That's a lot of what most Isekai remember. Those that don't just remember falling asleep then waking up in one of the churches. Some don't even have that. They just black out and then wake up at the Church."
“Sheesh…I forgot how depressing it can sound…” I mentally sighed. “Another night of this nonsense…but at least things are looking up right?”
"So far. Hopefully those friends of Parkers show up soon."
“Yeah…” I said, looking out a window to see all the stuff we’ve accomplished so far, my own enslaved zombies doing a small patrol around the gates and automated weapons.
I figured Lovely would want to be alone for a while so I headed back to the main room. Felt nice to be back here.
"Hello Button." Philomena said, sitting on the couch and nursing her own litter of infants.
“Hey Philomena, how are you doing?” I asked with a warm smile.
"I've been well. And so have our children." She said.
“I’m glad to hear that.” I said, trotting over and sitting down next to her. “I’ve…had a lot of things to deal with…” I sighed, just leaning into Philomena and not sure what to do now.
"Stressed?" She asked.
“Very stressed…” I sighed. “So much to do…so many questions cropping up…and I feel like garbage because of this stupid ‘Love Thief’ tree I just had to get…”
"Oh, well, that's not pleasant sounding." She said, placing a hand to my head. "Those Dark Skill Trees sound terrifying."
“They are…” I sighed. “They keep me bound to this planet…oh, and I also talked to the planet itself…”
"Really? Is the planets personality as scary as it's surface?"
“They’re an innocent child that just…wants friends.” I sighed.
"That sounds… heh. Oddly, that is kinda fitting."
“Yeah, they said their father was G-D and their aunt was Pain…so there’s also that.” I shook my head. “Oh, and they also told me that I’m not a bad guy, I’m an evil guy…which ‘evil’ for them is doing bad things you don’t like but have to, and bad is doing bad things because why not and laughing about it.”
"It makes sense to me. Admittedly, you have done some things one would say are evil or cruel, but you did them for our little town, and everyone here to stay safe. I'd say that makes you good as a person, even if your actions are not."
“Yeah…ironically, after that conversation of the very planet itself telling me I’m still a good person, even if I need to be pretty evil to even see them, was watching Wreck it Ralph.”
"Hehe. Leave it to Disney to make a concept like that more easily understood." She chuckled. She then lifted one of our children, Crissy, she had a pretty body like me, but her face and head were fox like. Brown tail and fur along her nose and ears, but orange and white alone the rest of her body.
I held Crissy in my hooves, my daughter wiggling around in my hooves, then sneezed in my face.
I pouted at being sneezed. “Bless you Crissy.” I said, grabbing a tissue with my wing and whipping my face off and grabbing another to gently wipe her nose.
When I finished wiping her nose she bit onto my wing feather. Her toothless gums slobbering the feather.
"Heh. She likes her papa." Philomena said.
“I’m glad she likes me.” I said softly. “I’m…still concerned I might not be a good parent…”
"Hm. Every first time parent, even experienced ones worry about that." She said, giving a scratch to Crissy's tummy, making her giggle. "I know it's hard to be a parent to them with everything going on with you my love, but everything you do is for us, the town, and them. They might not ever get to know life outside Armageddon, but you will always work to ensure they can know at least a little bit of normalcy. We can only hope one day they get the chance to leave this planet and see the rest of the stars and the worlds out there."
“Thanks.” I said with a smile, glad to know I’m doing good for the people I care about. “It means a lot to hear you say that.”
"So, is there anything special you'd like for dinner Button? Thanks to Lilly we have lots of fresh veggies. Sadly low on meat but that's to be expected in this zone. Everything is from loot and is either canned or frozen in freezers."
“Anything is fine really.” I said, cradling my child in my hooves. “I just…I’m just glad I have all of you here with me.”
"We can probably make something with some canned beef." She said, burping the various babies that finished nursing. Eventually they all were burped and placed into a nearby crib. I gave her Crissy who also was placed into the crib. "I'm also thinking of making banana bread. Elly did manage to grow a banana tree, but when winter hits it will probably die, unless we can find or make a greenhouse."
“True, gonna have to find all the proper parts to help make that greenhouse.” I said honestly. “But hopefully things will go well with the farm.”
"Well, all a Green House really is is a building that is insolated with a temperature control, and typically are all made from clear thick plastic or plexiglass." She said, heading over to the kitchen and beginning some prep work for dinner. "A gardening store or any store with a plant nursery should have small ones built in them or nearby, plus loot wise they'll have all the fertilizer, planters and various plants there still."
“So best go out hunting for all that then when I have the time.” I nodded.
"For now you should just stay and rest. The past few weeks have kept you pretty busy. Especially with your Breeder mates. I've spoken with each, and honestly I definitely feel like they should be with us here in the main room. But once Mei is able to make the spacial expansion engine, we will finally have the room for such an undertaking."
“Alright…” I sighed. “Best to wait and try to relax I suppose.”
Philomena gave me a smile and a nod before continuing her work.
Well, guess I'm relaxing now… and I know just how to spend it…
I pulled out a DSI from my Assistant, my favorite find from one of the abandoned gaming stores and loaded up the Mario Kart game I found with it.
“The best…” I muttered with a warm smile, starting to play video games and feeling…a bit nostalgic over this.
I spent a few hours just racing through the tracks and feeling pretty relaxed all things considered.
*MUNCH!*
Ouch!
I looked over at my arm, seeing that Cream bit me. "Hey, you've been busy." She said with a cheeky smirk.
“You didn’t need to bite me.” I frowned. “But how you doing Cream?”
"I've been alright, and so has little Dovahkiin." She said, turning and showing our son strapped firmly to her side in a baby holder. They gave out a laugh and some spit.
“Well, glad to see they’re happy and healthy.” I said with a warm smile.
"He's a little attention seeker. But he loves riding around in this carrier. Because of him I'm taking regular walks up and down the stairs. Good cardio if nothing else, but he just loves the way it makes him bounce in the straps."
“I’m sure he does enjoy that.” I chuckled. “So much has been going on…but I’m glad your both doing okay.”
"It's been nice, and now you're here so," she gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "Now it's perfect."
I kissed her back as well and happy that their enjoying life. “Yeah…it is…” I said, so glad to be with the ones I loved.
"So, how's the game?"
“It’s fun.” I said honestly. “It’s a nice simple racing game…also, Blue Shells are mean…”
"Heh. I'm glad you're finally having fun and relaxing. You work too much."
“Well, gotta make sure that I help take care of you all.” I said honestly.
"I'd offer you some one on one fun time but something tells me your crotch would like a break given what, and who, you've been doing the last few weeks." Cream said with a chuckle.
I blushed, laughing a bit as I rubbed the back of my head. Yeah… definitely want to give sex a break… those girls quite literally took it all out of me… some more than others…
“Yeah…I…I need a break.” I said honestly. “While it still feels great…I think I’m good.”
"In that case, may I interest you in a different kind of fun?" She asked. Before I could ask her however she pulled out- holy crap! She held in her hooves a Horseshoe Game Console! I had this back home! "Like it? Found it on a small run I went on with Tiara."
“Oh my god…” I blinked in shock and awe. “I’m…I can’t believe it.”
"Heh. I had a feeling that this would be your reaction." Cream said, also pulling out a few games from her Assistant. "Wanna help me set it up?"
“Yes please.” I said with a giant smile.
A short while later, I had it plugged in and started.
I honestly felt like a foal again playing these.
I remember when I was five, mom got me this same console. She had work and was honestly really tired from work, since dad had vanished. So, she got me it so when I had to be home alone I wasn't bored or scared before she came home and when I got home from school.
Cream and I spent the hours before dinner playing the games. After dinner, I played them with the babies watching, then we all went to sleep.
The next morning I was walking along the walls, and spotted a group of people walking up to the walls. Four wore these white and black full body armor with guns, and the fifth was a woman with deep red hair, matching red eyes and racoon ears and tail. She wore armor that was similar to the ones around her save looking more advanced and high tech. Her weapon was like a more sleek, longer range version of the guns the ones around her had.
They easily slaughtered the zombies outside the walls that attacked them.
The woman in the armor walked up to the wall and looked up at me. "You Button Mash?"
“Yes, yes I am.” I nodded to the woman. “And I presume you’re Parker’s allies?”
"Yes. I'm Lilly, 05-3 of The New Foundation Guild." She informed. "Parker told me your settlement is looking to break free from Chaos Guild rent payments. And cause them hell."
“Yes, and doubly yes, especially Lust.” I nodded.
"Right then. Well, first things first. We need to discuss this matter privately. Got a place we can talk."
“Let’s head inside, we’ve got some spare private rooms to talk.” I said.
With a nod Lilly and her group jumped the wall and followed me Inside.
Once in a building, we went into one of the empty rooms and she cast a soundproofing spell. "Alright, I'll cut the crap and get to the point. Parker told me you have the Loop ability. That power is pretty potent and would be of great value to us. We put you in a squad with some strong people, let your ability run for a while and not even some of the Chaos Guilds strongest would stand. The question I wanna know is how can our two settlements benefit from one another?"
“Considering what you probably have as The New Foundation…I doubt I have much to offer through money or resources.” I said honestly, knowing they probably have so much shit on lockdown for that that I couldn’t really barter that. “I mean sure, I do have a Den Mother Breeder that managed to keep her knowledge intact and safe as she was…able to do everything you see here in under five minutes…then I have information that Armageddon personally told me.”
"I've met the little runt too. Actually, I do have something in mind. See, the Zone we inhabit, When Day Breaks, the whole place is a death trap. Sunlight kills. Melts your body into an amalgam and it merges with others making big, strong, hard to kill enemies. We've managed by through digging vast underground facilities. Homes, farms, the works. Thing is, while it's worked out well, it's not exactly ideal, especially given we still contain various monsters and Chaos Guilds members. If we help you fortify this place up we'd like to have our civilian population moved here. It would be much safer for them plus the young bloods can finally see a sun that won't kill them."
“Sure.” I nodded. “I’m sure you’d like night time to be dangerous with something you can actually murder than sunlight that’s impossible to stop.” I said honestly. “Gonna need to do…a lot more work…” I put both hooves over my eyes and took a deep breath. “So…I have a question…what if someone doesn’t have a past? How bad is that?” I inquired, hoping they would know why
"No past huh. That must mean you have Treasury. Well, if that's true then from what we've gathered there's only one thing that can mean. Whoever you got as a Serf, Slave or Breeder, used to be a Time Walker."
“Excuse me what?” I asked in shock. “Kiara…Kiara’s used to be a Time Walker? But that should be impossible right? Time Walkers are one of the strongest people in existence right?” I asked, though if that was true, then that both horrifies me that even a Time Walker fell…and a small part of me was happy that there was a way to permanently kill the Chaos Guild bastards.
Lilly nodded. "Time Walkers are living Paradoxes. As a result even should they die, either by Void Admin, Level five Boss, or another time walker, likely from Madness, they can't really die. Rather their time, past and future, is wiped. As a result the person they used to be is forgotten by everyone, not even other Time Walkers will remember them. There's no evidence they even existed either since that all gets wiped. As a result the body left behind is de-aged to infancy and oftentimes raised as a whole new person. More than likely this whole new person ends up a Time Walker again and the cycle continues. However even if they don't, should something happen, like becoming a Serf, Slave or Breeder, then the same process happens and their time is wiped. Think of it like dying twice for the effort it took to kill them once."
“Oh…” I said slowly. “That…makes sense…” I said honestly. “Good to know that cause I was super confused and extra worried that the Chaos Guild’s somehow got a hold of a Time Walker as their personal pet…”
"Yes. It's a horrible existence really. Just to end up dead and forgotten by everyone you ever knew and cared for, even their own families."
“Yeah…it’s also why I hate Lust so much.” I said honestly. “And yes…I do have Treasury…and the things I’ve learned…it makes me beyond furious.”
"It's a useful, but also terrifying skill. So, guess our civilian residents can live here and in exchange you'll have help fortifying and expanding this place. Lucky for you we have lots of talented crafters, builders and farmers."
“Thank you.” I nodded. “Cause a lot of things are gonna need to be renovated and expanded to fit everyone…then there’s the possible Raids on us because of this…oh, also did you know that Nexus is kidnapping people to give the world ‘friends’?”
"We received word from some news confirmation such from some other settlements we trade with."
“Crap…” Button sighed. “How Nexus went this far just because one of them was told Armageddon just wanted friend’s is beyond me…”
"They're crazy. As for the raids, don't worry about it. Our members have experience in dealing with their raiding parties. Plus we have a few toys to keep them at bay."
I sighed. “Thank you…that means so much to me that everyone can be safe.”
"Yeah, well, I have another question for you. What's your stance on Breeders, Slaves and Serfs?"
“I hate it, I hate it with every fiber of my being and I hate it more that I’ve basically helped enable it.” I answered bluntly. “I want to help them, I want to give them better lives…I want to fix them…”
"I mean, given you already have and sleep with Breeders, are you open to receiving more? As you know when it comes to the products the chaos guilds make we have a policy of humane treatment. Breeders are treated no different than Lovers Class Pod People, Slaves and Serfs while owned must be treated well. Food, medical, proper sleeping quarters and work that isn't too demanding but keeps them happy and their programming saited."
“I mean…yes, I sadly am open to more cause it would mean less of them all in the hands of deplorable fuck heads.” I growled. “Oh, and apparently, Haley’s so smart that she knows she’s programmed but…weirdly doesn’t care about it.”
"Hm. It's not unheard of for Breeders, Serfs and Slaves to become self aware of their situations. However, due to them having no prior memories or will to achieve or become more on their own, they don't care about said situations."
“And…I was warned that…if I did manage to give them their memories back…it would break them…” I sighed. “The one thing I want to do to save them, to break this stupid cycle of bullshit…is the one thing that would hurt them the most…”
"Sadly. Which is why we have a different idea."
“What’s the idea?” I inquired.
"Well, in regards to the Slaves and Serfs we can properly reprogram them if we can gain our own Hacker. Make them more like Servant and Ally class. As for Breeders, we can tone back the obsession, remove the depression and all the negative triggers, and with some luck they can become almost like how Lovers Class are. It will take some time and trial and error, but it's a better outcome and life for them than what Lust puts them through."
“Yeah…it would be leagues better.” I nodded.
"Now that that's settled, let's sign the agreements." She said, pulling some papers out of her Assistant and pens.
“Mom always said, read the terms and conditions…” I sighed, though my heart clenched a bit at remembering her and home…it hasn’t been that long but still…I missed her.
The papers basically said what we agreed upon. Our town would basically join their New Foundation and in exchange it would be the primary residence of all the civilization personal. This includes the installments and construction of farms, hospitals, armories, stores and even factories for fabricating weapons, armor, medicine, and access to their more useful, public use SCP anomalies and items.
We both signed and when she did, I read and saw her full name is Lilly Morgan.
"And that's that. My men should have the teleporter installed by now."
“Thank you…also, your last name is Morgan?” I asked curiously, wondering if she was involved with this ‘Morgan incident’ I always hear about.
"Yes." She said plainly. "Has been since I was a kid."
“Um…is it okay if I ask if you were…involved with the ‘Morgan incident’ at all? I always hear it as like, the crime that happened in this world so…” I said nervously.
"It was a crime." She said, putting the papers into her Assistant. "It was the event that caused me to lose my father. And the day people learned… Madness is infectious."
“O-oh…” I stuttered, my ears laying flat against my skull. “I’m…I’m so sorry…”
"It was a long time ago."
“Still…” I sighed. “I’m sorry for bringing it up…” I said, even if it was a long time ago it must still be a sore spot.
"Tomorrow the workers will come to begin expansions, construction and fortifications. You will be sent to basic training. Parker ensures you're useful, so I'll put that to the test."
“I’ve been trained by a Bloodthirster, a Greater Demon of a God of War.” I said. “How different is your basic training?’
"You have Symbiote Armor, right? Put it on."
“I will also bring up, Cheat’s…not finished.” I said, donning my Symbiote armor. “I’ve only gotten the helm and gauntlets, I’m missing three other pieces.”
"The defense of the armor is lower, especially without the torso but it's still a powerful item. That being said," She flicked my muzzle, all of my armor cracked, chipped and flowed back into me.
"OUCH! THAT FUCKING BITCH THAT HURT LIKE ALL MY FUCKING NONEXISTENT BONES BREAKING YOU WHORE!"
"That being said even a fresh graduate from our basic could pull that off, and probably break your face by accident." Lilly finished.
“How? I literally went through Khorne’s realm and trained like a bastard to get super strong…how?” I asked in shock and horror, wondering what ‘basic training’ would make training with a Greater Demon in a space where it’s literally nothing but blood, violence and heavy metal look like a cake walk?
"When you fight the Chaos Guilds, it's Overkill or nothing."
“I have heard that said before…but you’d think fighting against hordes of demons and demonically charged super soldiers that can bench press a tank would be good enough…”
"Kid, you're talking about swatting flies."
I rubbed my temples. “Yes…thank you for telling me my accomplishments mean not much…”
"Get used to it."
The next day came and… their workers are fast.
I was taken to their main base via the teleporter. The halls were long, empty. I walked into a classroom with two others. One was also human, maybe around my age, male with tan skin, green eyes and clearly bleached hair.
The other was also a human, I thing, pale white skin with black hair, and their exposed skin was covered in runes I had no idea what they ment or were for.
I took my place in an empty seat.
“Ugh, I get sent to a fantasy RPG world, and yet I still end up back in class…” I mentally whined.
I sat there for a while before someone else finally came in. They were clad in… I think they were some weird robot. A big and bulky metal body with some weird balls along it, and had a weird eye stock looking camera, one 'arm' that I think is a laser and the other that might me a Plunger?
"GREETINGS! I AM LINN. I SHALL BE YOUR TEACHER."
“Um…excuse me.” I raised my hoof. “Sorry but uh…what are you? I’ve never seen or heard of…whatever you are.”
"MY KIND ARE REFERRED TO AS THE DALEKS. THE MECHANICAL BODY OUTSIDE HOUSES THE BIOLOGICAL ENTITY INSIDE. NOW THEN, ROLE CALL. HUGO?"
"Present." The tan guy called.
"ABLE JUNIOR?"
"Just call me AJ…" The rune tattooed guy said.
"BUTTON MASH?"
“Here.” I said, not liking that I’m back in school.
"What am I chopped liver?" Cheat complained.
"EXCELLENT! NOW CLASS, YOU ARE ALL HERE FOR YOUR PROMISING COMBAT ABILITIES AND CAPABILITIES. IN THIS CLASS YOU WILL BE PUSHED INTO STATES OF PHYSICALLY EXCRUCIATING MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PAIN. IN ORDER TO PASS YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONTINUE ON FROM THERE."
"Isn't that a bit extreme?" HUGO asked.
"NEGATIVE."
“Well…wouldn’t be the first time I’ve had to do such a thing.” I sighed.
"INITIATING TRAINING ENVIRONMENT." Linn said, the room suddenly shifting to a huge arena.
“Alright…” I muttered, donning my armor and getting ready for whatever is about to be thrown at me.
"THE ARENA HAS AN ACTIVE RAPID HEALING SPELL MATRIX WHILE ACTIVE. EVEN FATAL INJURIES WILL BE HEALED, BUT YOU WILL FEEL ALL THE PAIN. YOUR FIRST EXAM WILL DETERMINE YOUR ENDURANCE, AGILITY AND SPEED. LIVE FIRE BEGINS IMMEDIATELY!"
Wait, live fire!?
Ka-Boom!
Thunk-Spwoosh!
"Son of a-" Cheat screamed as what I think was a bullet that was bigger than what Tiara shoots from her Baby rifle hit us, cracking the armor and spider-webbing it along my leg.
Shit I felt that in my bones!
“Mother fucker!” I shouted, growling already growing a tad pissed as my armor was patched up from my growing anger.
I began moving to dodge the other shots coming from seemingly nowhere. Hugo seemed to be doing the same, but AJ seemed to materialize a black shield and began blocking the attacks as they came.
They were both very fast.
All any of us would do was dodge or defend, but the hours passed until we started getting hit… and hit. And hit. And after Im not sure how long it finally ended.
All three of us were panting. My head was numb from all the pain. Cheat long rendered unconscious and retreated into me.
"EXAM ONE. TOTAL SURVIVAL TIME TWO HOURS, FOR TEEN MINUTES. A LITTLE BELOW THE AVERAGE FOR THIS CLASS BUT AN ACCEPTABLE FIRST RESULT." Linn announced.
"That was only two hours?!" Hugo yelled.
"Fuck…" AJ huffed.
“Eat my ass!” I shouted, panting as I tried to reign in my anger as…I really should have thought to grab a ‘coherence’ skill in the Rage skill tree.
"YOU SHALL REST BEFORE THE NEXT EXAM BEGINS. PLEASE TRY AND GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER AS YOU THREE WILL BE WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM DURING TRAINING AND AFTER GRADUATION." Linn said, seeming to teleport in a flashy show of light.
I sighed as I pulled myself up and looking at my apartment teammates do the same.
“So…hi there.” I said carefully to the two, trying to start some conversation.
"Hey." Hugo said with a nod as they rotated their arm, an audible pop coming from it as they did.
"So, never seen you around the bunkers." AJ said. "You from the new town they just made an agreement with?"
“I’m the one that made the deal, yes.” I nodded. “Came to this dumbass place thinking me and my friends and family could just smash some bots, get some loot and bail…but that was over a year ago and just did the best we could.”
"Heh. Almost all the off worlders stories are like that." Hugo said with a chuckle. "Come for the loot, stay against your will."
“Yeah…it wasn’t, and isn’t fun.” I frowned. “And now I’m stuck on this planet for the rest of my life cause of course this damned place had to have some other draw back…”
"Yeah. Native Borns like us don't have that much of an issue with it." AJ said. "It's all we've ever known so we don't miss or care about what's out there cause, either way we were born here and will stay here. Statistically we here in the New Foundation have better odds of living our lives never dying until Madness hits but we joined the MTF forces so, those statistics dropped to a guarantee we die several times."
“Fair enough I suppose.” I nodded. “Just…wish this wouldn’t have happened…”
"Well, think of it this way? Got kids? From your girlfriends, wives or Breeders? Odds are they wouldn't exist had you not gotten stuck here." Hugo said. "That's how my dad looked at it when he got stuck here."
“While that’s true…they shouldn’t know just…this.” I motioned. “They should experience the wider worlds, see that everything’s not just a fight for survival, that you don’t need to do deplorable thing’s just to scrape by as you have to watch your back every second for Chaos Guilds…” I sighed. “But I suppose that doesn’t work anymore now that Nexus is ‘immigrating’ people to this place…”
"Heard about that. Part of why I joined." AJ said.
“Which is a good thing.” I nodded. “So, I’ve said something about myself, what about you two?”
"Well, I'm Hugo." Hugo said. "And I'm in this for the fun."
“For the fun?” I asked. “Also uh…the arm?”
"Hm? Oh, it's fine. Just got popped out so I popped it back into place. " He said simply. "And yeah, for the fun. I'm fourth generation born in my family on Armageddon and I grew up learning about the chaos guilds, the fights, the different zones and I wanna prove myself."
“Just gonna point out, I have examples for how that…didn’t work, like at all.” I said nervously.
"I'm aware, but unlike you, I have nothing to lose or risk."
“Man’s just built different.” AJ decided to chime in.
“I can tell.” I sighed. “So what about you AJ?”
"Well, as you know my full name is Able Junior. And my father is one of the SCP prisoners they keep locked up here."
“Really?” I inquired. “That’s…different. Able is an SCP?” I asked, haven't really delved into much SCP stuff cause I thought I would never have had to deal with them.
"Yes. 073 to be precise. My mother is his warden. She's the only person on staff that can beat him in a fight and throw him back in his cell. One day twenty years ago on one of his breakout attempts, he broke down the door but didn't leave. She walked in, some talking later turned to, well, nine months later I'm born." AJ shrugged. "Don't get along with my dad. He's a piece of crap. Mom's been the only parent in my life. I did inherit some of my father's powers. Speed, agility, reflexes, strength, these runes make it harder for me to die, blood loss, disease, even most lethal injuries don't kill me as fast as they could. I also inherited his unique little power of pulling weapons from a form of pocket dimension. The act is so fast to most it's like it just materializes." AJ demonstrated as a black shield like he had earlier appeared in his hand again. "They're made of super dense metal similar to Adamantium. Endless to. Mostly would pull them out and let the metal workers us them to make other weapons, bullets and armor."
“Huh, that’s actually really cool.” I said honestly.
"Yeah well, given my old man's reputation it didn't give me a lot of friends growing up. Lot of kids, parents too all thought, still think, one day I'll just snap and be a mass murdering combat addict psychopath like him. I joined this because I want to prove them wrong. Long time ago they put my dad to a team too. For a while it worked out but then after it got slow he killed his whole team and went on a rampage. No doubt they're all saying I'll do the same."
I frowned, pulling out my Assistant to figure out more on this supposed father of his.
"You can read up on him all you want but the texts don't do the bastard justice." AJ said. "You can meet him if you want. Just make a request with the head of Euclid Class Containment."
“Probably will…” I sighed. “Gonna have to learn a lot about SCP’s if I’m going to be apart of this group.”
"Just remember, whether it's SCP monsters, Chaos Guild or other, we primarily capture and contain. While killing is accepted, they prefer and reward you for capturing monsters and Chaos Guild Members."
"That's right. The stronger the beast the bigger the payout." Hugo added.
“So best to capture everything…which doesn’t help me because I’m mostly putting skill’s in the Rage skill tree.”
"Guess you'll be learning restraint then." AJ said.
“Yeah, but best watch out when I go into a rage, I have a lot of skill’s that basically let me brush off a ton of damage and increases all my capabilities a lot.”
"Says the horse that also got shot as much as we did." Hugo replied.
“I wasn’t in my rage state.” I answered carefully.
"Right, because being shot by .50 caliber AP rounds doesn't piss you off?"
“I’ve been hit with .75 caliber, to 1.0 caliber Bolter rounds from World Eater Space Marines in Khorne's realm. Sure they still sting but still.”
"Your armor sure seemed to think they hurt a lot more given it hasn't woken up yet."
That did concern me that Cheat was still unconscious.
“Okay yeah, I personally have a problem with that. Cheat was also taking those Bolter rounds just fine, and Bolter Rounds are a lot stronger than the AP rounds…so why was Cheat hurt so much and…why is she still unconscious?” I asked. “Actually! I suffered AP rounds before against a Human Purity Country! The fuck is wrong now!?”
"Must be…" AJ hummed, finding a bullet on the ground and picking it up. "Yeah, this is Adamantium. Or close to it. Probably forged from the shields I give to the blacksmiths. This stuff in a bullet can pierce anything not made of a material stronger than itself, explains why they broke my shield after a while."
“I…I guess that makes sense…” I said worriedly. “I…I hope Cheat’s alright…I still need to find three other pieces of her to finish up the set but…she’s been strong enough for everything else…”
"Hmm… at two pieces, your armor would have the density and durability of high grade steel. Three it will be like trying to deal with a carbon fiber laces suit of titanium. Four, then you're in the same basic ballpark as my shields. All five will actually surpass that and be akin to Vibranium. There are stronger upgrades but you'll probably have to utilize specific skill trees and cross branch skills to improve from there." AJ said, more like they were thinking out loud. "The fact they've been taking damage from things like that must mean the symbiote itself is also very powerful. I assume you let them consume your enemies corpses?"
“Yeah, it’s also how I became an Alicorn.” I said, lightly fluttering my wings and tapping my horn to prove a point. “Was an Earth Pony before…oh yeah, and also we absorbed the Harran Type 4 virus and the Nemesis Strain so that should also help if you needed to know.”
"Hmm… assuming they have the same basic symbiote biological storage and reprogramming abilities all share then it's likely they've also modified themselves with all the excess genetics, which would explain how they've handled damage that bad despite being not even half completed. The strain though must be difficult on them."
I sighed, knowing it’s my fault that Cheat’s now getting so hurt…was so sure that everything was fine, we’ve taken hits together and she was fine before…”Wish I knew that before…”
"Button, right?" CJ asked as I nodded. "It goes a bit further than that. See, your Symbiote is also armor. Typically a Symbiote can temporarily act as armor while also primarily acting as a form of secondary biological systems management for their host. Normally Symbiotes work on healing their host, modifying them with genetic materials from their meals, and so forth as well as being a secondary source of mana and energies when the hosts primaries run dry. Yours however is designed with defense and offense in mind on top of the basic work a Symbiote does. If they're also working on your psychological well being too then that's three different things the one symbiote is managing for you. Completed or not, they must be exhausted."
I… I mean… Cheat has been… rather quiet the last few… oh… oh no…
“I need to get home! Now!” I said in growing panic, rushing to the door and trying to get back home to be with Cheat, to apologize, to make sure she’s okay at least! “Oh god, I didn’t know…what have I done?”
"Hey- relax!" AJ said, grabbing me by my scruff like a foal. Damn tall ass humans! "She's not in danger or hurt Button. Just tired. It's like working overtime at a laborious job. She's unconscious right now, right? Just means she's probably getting all the rest she's been needing."
“I should have known damn it!” I snapped, tearing up at my mistake. “I…I didn’t know…”
"It's not exactly that common of knowledge, plus Symbiotes that can do what yours does are rare."
“Well…she does turn into Berserker Armor from what I was told.” I said honestly.
"Any Symbiote that also primaries as armor or a weapon is rare."
“I mean…Venom and his brand of symbiotes beg to differ.” I said, knowing that those kinds of symbiotes were a lot more common and could act as both.
"While true they aren't really considered weapons. They just modify their bodies to form and harden using materials existing in their host and themselves."
“I still should have noticed…Cheat never said anything, I tried to be careful…”
"If they never said than it's probably because they knew you'd worry or try and compensate somehow. That would have hurt you more making them comfortable." I winced at how… accurate that was.
“Why am I not allowed to be mad!? Upset!? Literally anything as I keep seeing more reasons why I’m screwing up?” I growled, struggling against his grip as I just wanted to do…something, anything to help the people I care about…it’s the least I can do instead of making them all worry or get themselves hurt in the process of my mistakes.
"If you want to help them that badly you can always take in another Symbiote."
“Well…uh…” I tried to think. “Wait, Kevin should still be in me…he…might be our symbiote son? I don’t actually know, but Cheat said she was creating a new being from the genetics of all the being’s we’ve devoured…has his own personality and the like but…not sure how that fully works as a whole…” I explained, though I was pretty sure I would need another symbiote at this point.
"Genetics or memories?"
“Uh…I think mostly genetics? Cause it’s a brand new person all together…I think she also used memories to help but honestly I’m not entirely sure how she was able to do that to begin with considering she’s just…messing with genetics to that level.”
"A Symbiote can easily make a new entity out of memories and fragments but out of genetics alone… no, no I doubt that. Not without a lot of help. You are best off getting another Symbiote. It will lighten the load for you, and her."
“Unless you have a spare symbiote lying around, I’m gonna be shit out of luck for who knows how long.” I said honestly. “Cause even though I have this prize multiplier…wasn’t really finding anything too fantastic on the rare side.
"Not personally but I'm willing to bet you can purchase one from the armory."
“The armory just…sells symbiotes?” I asked, now honestly confused at that.
"Symbiotes don't normally obtain a consciousness until they are linked to a host, or personality. Symbiotes found as loot are often put in the armory or even sold to us by travelers and such since not too many people like having an extra voice or two in their head that isn't their own."
“I…suppose that makes sense.” I nodded. “But it’s probably gonna be expensive…”
"Actually… you know what, might be best to show you after all this."
“Probably.” I sighed.
Thankfully the rest of the exams were put on hold, given Cheat was still out cold. So AJ lead me to the Armory, Hugo following because he could apparently.
Once there, AJ asked for the inventory for Symbiotes, all kinds.
“How many Symbiote types are there?” I inquired.
The quartermaster handed AJ the list and he handed it to me- Five hundred!!
"As you can see, they're not a popular thing."
“Five hundred…” I said in surprise. “Jeez…I know you said they weren’t popular but damn.”
"Check the prices."
I looked over at- fifty to a hundred rem each?!
“The hell? How can they be this inexpensive and not wanted?”
"For the most part not everyone likes another voice in their head, and not everyone likes the symbiote diet of flesh, blood and brain matter."
“Yeah…that’s fair.” I nodded, looking over the many…many symbiotes to see if there was anything special here.
"It might be best you get two. There's a few there that are also weapons, so armor, weapons, and one to handle the basic bodily stuff."
“Alright…” I said, quickly reading over each one to make sure which one would be the best suited for me and my needs.
Most seem to be your basic symbiote. One was also an ax, another was a bow. Hello… Blades of Chaos Symbiote?
“Blades of Chaos symbiote?” I inquired. “That sounds neat, I’ll pick this one.”
"I had a feeling you would. It's a Berserker style Symbiote like your current one, and being a weapon based one can have the ability to change and create new forms based on how you're fighting." AJ said with a nod. "You gonna pick a normal one now? Might as well nab then both."
I looked back at the list. Hmm… well, most of these seem pretty cut and dry… three Symbiotes… how many can someone even have?
“So, before I grab this…how many can a person have at one time?”
"Well, you've had yours for a while I imagine. Your body can probably safely host five currently… and after that, well so long as you let your body safely adjust you can actually host hundreds, thousands. No limit so long as you let your body adjust in increments."
“Alright…so best go with two or three…” I said carefully, looking over the others to see which other one or two I should grab.
I was looking through the others here. Hmmm… huh… Nanobot Symbiote?
“Ah, yes, Nanomachines, son.” I chuckled.
“They can in fact harden when subjected to physical trauma if you use them like that.” AJ pointed out.
“Alright, so got Blades of Chaos and Nanomachines…should I get another or is this good?”
"The Nanobot Symbiote will help you alot by allowing you to consume metals and inorganic objects and add them to your body like cybernetics. So, one to handle your organic functions soly is a good idea."
“Alright, so one more for organics.” I said, looking over the other symbiotes to see what would fit well with what I’ve got going on.
Hmm… all these basic ones can easily handle that. Wonder if there is anything special here- Hello special. Mutation Symbiote.
“Mutation Symbiote, I like the sound of that.” I said. “What special mutation are you?”
"Oh, that one would be perfect for you." AJ said. "They specialize in their hosts body and DNA. Anything and anyone organic you eat it can effortlessly pick through and add useful genetics, create mutations over time and I hear the strong ones over time can even replicate an Ability from their prey as long as it's genetic in nature, which a lot are."
“Oh now that is cool.” I said with a smile, grabbing the Mutation Symbiote as well. “These three please.” I said to the armory employee, remembering how my mom told me to respect the retail workers cause of the stuff they have to deal with on a daily basis.
I paid two hundred rem for all three. The Mutation Symbiote looked like if flesh and slime were the same thing with patches of gray and what almost looks like arteries along it's body. The Nanobot Symbiote looked like liquid mercury with a dash of glitter.
Lastly, the Chaos Blades Symbiote looked, well, like the Blades of Chaos. Just blank and without color or design.
"Well, for the Nanobot and Mutation Symbiote just open their holding canisters. For the blades one, just pick them up." AJ informed.
“Alright.” I nodded, grabbing the Nanomachine one first and opening the holding canister towards me.
Immediately the glittering Mercury like form of it reached out and attached to my skin passing through my coat immediately.
It felt cold and sleek, just like metal.
It flowed from the canister and into my skin where I could feel it spreading out and getting accustomed to my body.
That is a whole different feeling compared to Cheat.
New Symbiote Obtained and Synchronized.
Name: Java
Personality Generated.
"Host. Button Mash." Woah! Their voice sounds mechanical. Guess I should have expected that. "I am ready to perform operations at your digression."
“Nice to meet you.” I mentally nodded. “How do you feel about having roommates in my head?”
"Indifferent."
“Fair enough.” I mentally nodded, grabbing the Mutation Symbiote and opening it up for me.
Much like Java, the Mutation Symbiote reached out and latched onto my skin. It felt warm and admittedly a bit sticky but it felt the same as it assimilated into my body.
New Symbiote Obtained and Synchronized.
Name: Keven.
Personality Generated.
Keven?
"Hi. I'm Keven."
“Hi Kevin…so, how do you feel about roommates and there being another person named Kevin living in here?”
"I'm fine with it." He replied, sounding kinda… well, not what I expected for a Mutation Symbiote. Kind of expected a deeper voice and such but, guess it's not always what you expect.
Now finally, Blades of Chaos Symbiote.
I picked the two twin blades up. Each was about half the size of my wings, jagged and sharp.
Immediately, chains from the handles wrapped around me. They felt white hot as it was like it but ed as it merged into my body, the chains sinking into my body and spreading out as if wrapping around my bones.
Eventually the handles too reached my skin, but rather than merge In they hung there, fastened to my body just under the joints where my wings were on my back.
New Symbiote Obtained and Equipped.
Name: Vengeance.
Personality Generated.
"Well well well, what have we here?" Spoke a feminine, authoritative voice that was like… kinda reminded me of Princess Celestia only slightly more gravely and deeper. "My host must be lonely. Four Symbiotes, one of which is asleep but like me? Oh the poor dear is all tuckered out."
“Yeah…that’s…my fault…” I mentally sighed. “So hello Java, Vengeance and Kevin, I’m Button Mash…and as you can probably tell, I am a complete mess of a pony.”
"I wouldn't say a mess." Keven said.
"Host is adequate." Java said.
"It would seem you're rather hell bent on pushing yourself. Color me Impressed." Vengeance said.
“Well, at least you three seem to believe I’m not a hot mess.” I mentally sighed. “So yeah, Cheat, the other Symbiote, is sleeping because…I didn’t know I was overworking her…”
"Let the poor thing take her rest. Why don't you and I get more acquainted?" Vengeance suggested.
“Alright, but just to warn you…I have put in quite a lot of skill points into rage based skills…” I said, trying to summon Vengeance.
Immediately from their spot under my wings the blades rose out and floated next to me. The blades no longer the former plane and blank look, now appearing a jet black almost obsidian like color, the blades looking more like a crystal. Along the sides and merging into the handles were silver and gold colored skeletal Alicorns with flames coming out from their bones and eye sockets. "My specialty."
“Cool.” I commented with a warm smile.
