Counter Earth Chronicles - Fallen Empire

Chapter 63: There Is No Such Thing As A Normal Life, Only My Life (Home Part II)

Day 169 (12:17 AM The North Maze)

“And you have come here to die, how convenient." The silver gorilla said as my constitution left me.

I felt awful, even worse then when Devon and Jessie temporarily separated me from my master... err the synoptic. My head started aching, my vision blurred, my throat became sore and my skin started itching.

“Tell Lady Ursa, Shakara, Corbin, Corey, Commander Rhinox, Lady Barq and Rumble that I am sorry for the pain that I have caused them!"

I vomited yet again and then became still despite the gorilla warrior poking me repeatedly with his scythe.

*Groan* 

The next sound I heard was a horn, a loud one that echoed throughout the maze. I surmised that the guard must have kept it on him to alert Lady Barq and Commander Rhinox in case of an invasion. Within minutes I was surrounded.

The next thing I remember was that I was placed in seclusion separated from everyone. My clothing was removed; I was sitting on a chair, blindfolded and my body was entombed in that viscous grey material the silver prototype shot me with in World Three. I don't know for how long because I lost track of time, but I still had my withdrawal to keep me company. That and someONE else.

It was a vicious cycle. I felt like I was in the final moments of my life, I would toss my cookies. I then felt good for about forty minutes, then I would start to feel very, very sick, retch and then vomit again. After a while I had nothing left to bring up but stomach acid. The smell was atrocious. This went on endlessly for hours until....

Slave.

“You again?!" I shouted as its voice came through my lips. “What happened to the little?"

Experiencing separation anxiety?

“Something like that." I retched.

You think that you have left us willingly. But you are wrong. We just gave you a taste of what it would be like to be single again. The entity said through my lips.

“You are lying!" I shouted.

You belong to us, ours to control as we see fit. The synoptic said to me.

“No. I refuse to let you inhabit me no control me any longer!"

From the outset we realized that you were different from the first Alex Winter in our possession. There was something about you.

“The fact that I am an off-worlder?" I asked.

No something more.

“I am not from this reality?" I said sarcastically.

No, even more than that.

“My doppelgänger and I are nothing alike?"

Even deeper. 

“I have precognitive abilities- ONE?"

That was only a portion of the totality.

(Really?)

“You mean I could have been much more than a grave digger, awakener, investigator, monster hunter or spy in the new order?"

Yes, it was regrettable that we were not able to determine what it was in order to use it to its full potential.

“So that is why I was bounced around! That is unfortunate, I could have been a real star in this perfect utopia you were building. You know the new order who's construction is proceeding well in only one location, while three more have experienced massive setbacks and that other location that was doing well until it was attacked by extraterrestrials- brazen extraterrestrials? By the way, who won that incursion?" I said mocking my former handler.

Choose your next words carefully slave. The entity said to me. Its tone an ominous warning.

*HURK*

“So tell me how many of your 'followers' did you sacrifice to protect your project?" I asked as my head started throbbing even more.

*AUGH*

“I really like Raier. He was mature, confident and was great to look at- but a bit misguided. Britta and Shen had a real soft spot for me for some reason and Fel... did you see what happened to them after they were taken aboard the sky ships?"

The synoptic did not answer my question about my former pod.

You are seriously ill Alexander Winter. Without our influence you will continue to deteriorate until...

“Let me guess, I am having a very difficult time acclimating to being a singular individual again." I said dry heaving. “Unless I come back into the fold I will never be able to see the wonder and majesty of the new order when it is fully realized."

I am your god. Never ever forget that.

“I would rather succumb than to ever be your peon! What you did to the empire and its citizens was abhorrent and what you are doing now is unforgivable! If this is my end so be it! You hear that master?! I reject you with every fiber of my being!!" I shouted.

Slave...

“REJECT!!!"

But...

“Leave me!!!!"

No...

“THEN I WILL FORCE YOU OUT! BEGONE!" I yelled.

We see that you are somewhere safe with family and friends. An attempt to return to some portion of your previous life.

“Yes." I said to the synoptic.

If we can't have you, then neither can they. The invader of worlds said as I forcibly forced out what remained of it from my being.

In a parting shot the entity, the synoptic, ONE, the destroyer of the empire powered me down.

I found myself offline, placed inside the box-cage within my mind and cut off from everything.

(Well at least I was alleviated from my withdrawal symptoms.)

“Welcome to the mobile space lab!" I said cheerfully to our newest visitor.

“What is this place and why are you near naked?!" The female scalie screamed looking at my white fundoshi.

“Um, it is a mobile lab." I responded. “I just said that. Oh and our mistress prefers her servants dress like this."

“Why am I here?!" The beastial female said staring down the dark eerie hallway behind me.

“Oh that! This week our mistress is studying salamanders- that would be you." I said to her.

“Who are you?" She asked in a panic.

“I am a humble greeter. My job is to calm the panicked and to comfort all of the test subjects."

“TEST SUBJECTS?!"

“Those our mistress studies." I said turning on the charm. “By the way I love your smooth skin no scales at all."

“Wait... the last thing I remember I was taking a relaxing bath. As I was drying off I felt a need to go to the window of my apartment." The salamander beastial said trying to remember.

“And then you were brought here... for study." I said smiling.

“I have been abducted!!" The horrified female lizard concluded. “Please, I beg you please let me go!!!!"

“Calm down, your life is not in danger. My mistress just wants to conduct some tests. Some horrifying, disfiguring tests." I said as a red light that was shining on us moved overhead forming a spotlight on the floor of the spacecraft to indicate where we should walk.

Our latest capture was rather plain, fair looking face, smallish type breasts nothing to get excited about, larger than average waist and butt though. However her sex was nice to look at.

“I am not going anywhere!" The female salamander said indignantly.

“I see. Oh, Triceraton."

*pluck*

The nude female salamander was picked up by the scruff of her neck by a much larger lizard who had a blank stare.

“This is my colleague Triceraton."

“Another servant of your mistress?" The scared beastial asked.

“Yes. He is the muscle around here. This way." I said walking down the hallway.

“Please, I don't want to be dissected!!!"

“Now who said anything about being dissected?"

“The bulletin I heard on the hub said they can cut you open, take out your organs and drain your blood." The she beast said horrified.

“That is the old method. Now a days if they want to study you, they just turn you inside out." I responded wickedly.

“Who are they?"

“Oh yes how rude of me. Those who have abducted you are known as the KLIS. They like to study beastials... intensively." I said sinisterly to our captive. “You have the honor of being studied by our mistress who is one of our top scientists and this sky-ship is her lab."

We navigated through a series of halls before coming to a dead stop in the center of the ship.

“Ah here we are." As the pathway ended in near complete darkness. 

“Where?"

“The center of the ship." I responded.

"Well done you two. Now make her comfortable." A voice in the darkness said.

Triceraton placed the terrified lizard lady in the most comfortable, relaxing chair of her life. With orange coloring, it looked like something you would see from a dentist's office. 

“No! Please! Don't!" She screamed as her bottom touched the padding. I gently guided her tail through a opening in the back.

“See, nice and comfortable." I said to her.

“But I can't move!"

“That was the intent." I said standing off to the side with the dinosaur beastial as our mistress approached.

The female scalie nearly peed herself as a female grey stepped out of the shadows into the red spotlight. She was dressed in black flowing gown which complimented her large piercing black oval eyes, oval shaped head, small nose and slit like mouth.

"My a very fine representation of your species."

“Why thank you!? Wait your mouth didn't move!!!" The female salamander gasped.

“It doesn't need to." I volunteered as our mistress stopped at the chair.

“Who.... are you? What are you?" The female beastial asked as the female grey stood right off to her test subject's right.

The KLIS scientist looked through the scalie.

“What do you want?" The lizard beastial asked her captor again.

The only response the female salamander received to her question was from the grey extraterrestrial's mouth- the small slit turned upward forming a smile.

"It is only some tests."

“That is what he said!" The she beast said turning toward my direction as she struggled to move. But the chair was preventing her from doing so. 

“I sorry. But struggling is useless." I said to our captive.

“Help!! Help!!" She screamed.

“There is no one to help you either." I said in a calming soothing voice.

“The reports were true!!" The female salamander said.

“You can cry, whine, beg and plead, but the tests are going to be done whether you want to or not my dear." I said trying to comfort the beastial.

“Will they hurt?" 

"Most definitely." The KLIS scientist said.

As our mistress said that a metal rod emerged from the underside of the chair reached outward, then upward stopping over the terrified female salamander. The end of it turned into some type of metal liquid and entered the scalie's nostrils, mouth, vagina and anus.

She struggled for a bit then relaxed as the bizarre instrument examined her insides. This went on for almost an hour as tests, examinations and readings were conducted. When our mistress had what she needed, the instrument retracted from all the female beastial's orifices.

She laid there exhausted.

“What did you do to me?"

“You have been studied in great detail system by bodily system." I said turning toward the female grey.

"My how interesting, you are part dinosaur."

“I am?!" The she salamander stated.

"A great deal of your genetic construction is." The KLIS scientist said looking right at Triceraton.

The dinosaur beastial acknowledged the silent order. He approached the naked salamander, picked her up from the chair, removed his fundoshi, laid down on the chair and brought her down to recline on him.

“Hey what are you doing?!" The she beast protested.

“Our mistress wants to see if you two are compatible." I said to our test subject.

“Wait me with him?!"

“Come on you don't find him the least bit attractive?" I teased.

“The orange scales are nice, and maybe the horns and the bulk but oh no, no, no, no." The she beast said looking him over.

"My tests show that you have never mated."

“First time for everything." I teased.

Triceraton rolled his breeding partner over and gently kissed her. The salamander tried to resist tried, to move, but did not have the strength.

“Please, stop, no!!!"

“Be at ease. He will be gentle." I said trying to comfort her.

“That is not the point!" The female scalie protested. “I want my first time to be special."

"It will be." The sole KLIS in the room said to her.

“I mean with some beast I love not a coerced coupling aboard an alien spacecraft!!!"

“You really don't get it do you? Our mistress is offering sex without consequences or responsibility. Just enjoy yourself." I said as Triceraton started licking the female scalie's face. Then neck, moving down to her breasts.

“What are you doing?!" She protested.

“I believe it is called foreplay." I responded.

“I preparation for what?!"

“You really are a virgin aren't you? You know in preparation for UNF, UNF, *OAH* UNF, UNF, UNF *OAH!!*" I said making a circle with my left hand and piercing it with my index finger in a quite vulgar manner.

By that time the dinosaur beasitial had moved his mouth down to the salamander's groin gently licking her sex.

“OAH MY GOSH!!!" She screamed.

“See he is quite gentle." I said comforting her. “And good with his tongue."

“I get the feeling he wasn't *gasp* always." She countered.

“He used to be a very bad beastial. After his capture they stripped the evil from him and this is what is left."

After an thorough tongue cleaning Triceraton lowered his naked female onto his penis letting her feel his length and girth.

“No." She pleaded.

(Aw yes!) I said to myself as I watched the breeding pair. The dinosaur beastial thrusting upward into his female.

“Oh he is getting close." I said watching him buck his hips. 

All of a sudden Triceraton pulled her to his chest, kissed her on the forehead and grunted real loud as a flood of his semen shot up inside the salamander.

“No!!!!" She pleaded again.

“Too late. He finished." I said to her.

The female beastial shuddered within Triceraton's embrace.

“I feel so full...."

“That usually happens to the female after coitus." I said as our mistress looked at the mated pair.

"Unsuccessful." The KLIS scientist said as the dinosaur beastial looked up at her. She was not ready.

“I should say, I didn't want this!" The female scalie shouted.

“What our mistress means was that there was no impregnation; your body was not receptive." I said to her as I bowed toward the female grey. “Yes ma'am." 

Triceraton gently removed his breeding partner from his chest placing her on the floor.

“Finally! Hey! What is going on?" She asked. 

“It appears we will be keeping you for awhile?" I said to her

“WHAT?! WHY?"

“Until you are ready to produce offspring." I said as the dinosaur beastial stood up from the chair and refastened his fundoshi. “This way."

The female beastial sat there on the floor trying to process what had been said to her.

“You are trying to run away aren't you?" I asked the naked salamander.

“If I could I would." She answered.

“And where would you run to?"

“Um... somewhere!"

“You are aboard a sky-ship my dear besides they are in control." I said gesturing to the KLIS scientist who watched our little interaction with some amusement. “Again their will is our will."

“If they don't want me to walk, I can't walk." The salamander said.

“And..." I said raising my eyebrow.

“If they don't want me to escape, I can't escape."

“Now you are getting it." I said helping her to her paws. I watched as Triceraton's jizz dribbled from her pussy.

The room darkened again accept for a single red light that led to the interior of the ship illuming the way and direction we should walk. Obediently the female scalie followed.

“So how long are you going to hold me?"

“That is up to our mistress to decide. But the short answer is as long as it takes." I said as the red spotlight stopped moving and fixated on a position, on one position.

The female salamander walked by me and entered the circle of the spotlight. 

“Ah there we go."

“What is this?" She asked me standing under the light.

“Your cage." I responded.

“But there is barely any space to move around!"

“Sorry but space here is at a premium." I said as the light in the room illuminated.

The female scalie looked around and saw that she was not alone; in the room were many other beastials large ones, small ones, adults, cubs, avians, reptilians, herbivores, carnivores in similar 'holding cells' just like her being studied by KLIS.

“So I am not alone?"

I answered her question with a smile.

“Hey can I at least have something to wear?!"

I also answered that question with a smile as the lights dimmed again and the spotlight returned.

“Well can I at least take a bath, shower or something? That dinosaur's jizz is everywhere!"

“That can be arranged. Ah here we are." I said as two aardvarks appeared behind me.

The female salamander stared at Cinder and Ember noticing they were dressed similarly like me. In that we were wearing nothing but a simple white fundoshis.

“Who are they?"

“We have been sent to clean you." Ember said.

“Exactly." Cinder added. 

“Oh geez!" The she beast said.

“I get to wash this one." The taller aardvark said to the smaller. “You dry."

“Why is it that you only lather and/or rinse the females?" The smaller aardvark asked. 

“Whatever do you mean cousin?" Ember asked as the female salamander spread her legs and arms out wide and he started lathering her body with some weird gel.

“If it is a youngling, or someone ugly I wash and/or you dry." Cinder protested.

“Rank has its privileges." He said. Ember started at her neck, moving down her back, shoulders, arms, waist, rump, tail, legs and stopping at her anus. He then moved to her front continuing at her shoulders, then chest, stomach, arms, legs, groin and then vagina where he took his time there before rinsing her clean.

At that point Cinder dried her with some blue light like device that he had brought.

“Not a bad job." I said as the aardvarks packed up their cleaning supplies and moved on to an adjacent 'cell'. This one had a small lamia boy with red scales.

“Um, Cinder you can have this one." Ember said giving his cousin the cleaning supplies.

“It is because he doesn't have breasts isn't it?" The smaller aardvark protested.

“They are quite the pair." The she beast said.

“Yes they are." I smiled as a huge figure stepped under the spotlight from the shadows to embrace the female scalie.

*gasp*

“You again?!" She said as Triceraton put his right arm over her chest and pulled her toward him. He then started kissing the female beastial on the head. 

I nodded at her as I received commands from the mistress.

“He was sent here to comfort you. Our mistress feels that since he will eventually sire your young, you two should become more acquainted with each other." I said to her. 

“AIEEE!!!"

“Now, now... You can't scream, you have been rendered passive- that is how they maintain order around here." I scolded the she beast.

“When you are ready, our mistress will have him breed with you again, then collect your eggs." Ember said observing the cuddling pair.

“When they hatch your offspring will become permanent residents here like, Alex, Ember, Triceraton and myself." The smaller aardvark added.

The three of us were suddenly silenced when our mistress ordered us to return to our duties. Ember and Cinder continued to wash and bath the captives and I checked in on our other prisoners.

It took several days for the female salamander to become fertile. During that time Triceraton continued his advances. When the KLIS scientist determined that she was ready the pair were brought to her lab where the dinosaur beastial mated the salamander for hours and hours. A day after that she laid a clutch of eggs.

"Well done." The KLIS scientist said as I looked on.

“It wasn't pleasant." The female beastial said.

“Well you are free to go." I said.

I led her away from the lab. The she beastial watched Triceraton sniff her clutch of eggs he fertilized as she was being escorted off of the ship.

Once again the salamander obediently followed me to a corner of the ship that had a familiar pedestal and holographic globe of Counter Earth.

“Well here we are."

“What is this?" She said poking her paw through the projection.

“Just our way of making sure you are returned to where you were removed from." I said smiling.

“I would like to forget that any of this happened!" The female beastial said to me.

"You will." Our mistress said telepathically.

“I will?"

“Your memory will be blocked so you won't recall any of what you experienced."

“So I will never ever see any of you again?"

“Only if our mistress decides it is time to see us again." I said smiling as light extended from the globe to her and just like that she was gone. 

"Well done now report to me."

(Wait, this seems vaguely familiar....) 

“Yes mistress." I followed the red spotlight to the KLIS scientist's private lab where I found Cinder and Ember on cold metal tables- the tops of their heads had been removed and two machines with numerous extensions were probing their brains.

The female KLIS was observing the procedure as I entered. I looked at the three of them before lying down on a similar table for my procedure.

That was when I realized that it had happened again! I had experienced another of those alternate life/alternate reality thingies. In this one I was working aboard a KLIS scientist's spaceship!

(NO WAY!!!)

When it ended I realized that I had reanimated myself despite being powered down by the synoptic.

(Take that you bastard.)

He is in there?

That is the Other?

Yeah, this is where they are keeping him.

I heard he used to live here in the city.

That was before he became one of them.

What are those damn knights thinking bringing that inside the city?! The will doom us all!!

I could hear voices clearly outside of the building I was being held in. It sounded like some residents of the Lost City were having a conversation and expressing some severe misgivings about my return. It appeared some things had changed during my time away.
