Mika kept her distance. She didn't want to scare off the girl she was following, at least not yet. She hid in the shadow of a tree. Following the girl was a lot harder than it should have been. It would have been easier if the pokégirl didn't have pitch black fur and hair. What ever she was, she was going around in circles. Mika was getting restless, she'd been following the 'girl for almost an hour, the sun now completely set beneath the earth's horizon. Behind her Mika could hear Sonja stumbling after her. Glancing behind her she could just barely make out the bouncing light of the torch Sonja was carrying. “Slow down dummy. You're going to scare away our one hope of finding Marcus,” Mika breathed lightly, the girl was on the move again.
 
Mika had followed the black furred pokégirl for another hour. She could tell that they had doubled back on themselves quite a few times. The 'girl was probably trying to throw off any pursuers, which was smart. The pace had slowed down considerably however, the pursued panting hard. Mika had to walk softly along the bank of the river. The 'girl was down below her. Slowly Mika crawled over the edge. Peering inside she breathed a slight sigh of relief that Marcus was unharmed. He was balls deep in some DildoQueen that was cunt deep in a Mephitits, but unharmed. Mika slowly backed away from the edge. She swung quickly through the trees, retracing her webs to where Sonja was following her.
 
 
 
“You lost the 'girl! What's wrong with you!” Sonja screamed. She tried to punch the Spidergirl in the head, but it was easily dodged.
 
“Shut up. Marcus is fine. He wasn't in any danger when he left.” Mika ducked left just as a leg came sweeping by her. “I figured you wanted to be there when I stormed the cave. So you can either keep attacking me or follow me and attack the ones that kidnapped Marcus.” Mika didn't move as Sonja's foot stopped just before hitting her in the face.
 
“Hurry UP!” Sonja shouted as she righted herself on her feet. She ran after Mika. When Mika slowed down Sonja was breathing just a bit more labored as they came to a stop on a hill over looking the river bank. Sonja gave Mika a questioning look and pointed down at her feet. Sonja nodded and slowly began climbing down the side of the face of the hill. It had been washed away by years of erosion from the river. The dirt was loose, but still compact enough to hold her weight.
 
Sonja's decent was much different. She backed up a bit and ran, leaping off the ledge. She twisted her body and landed with a soft thud facing the mouth of the cave. The first thought that rushed through her when she saw Marcus was relief, but that was quickly replaced by irritation by the sight of him taming the very ferals that had kidnapped him. Irritation quickly gave way to arousal as she watched her Master continued to tame the the DildoQueen and Mephitits. Marcus was now taking the Mephitits's ass while the DildoQueen buried her cock in the skunk-girl's pussy. Sonja hoped she was in time to save Marcus's ass, literally.
 
“GIVE ME BACK MY MASTER!” Sonja rushed into the cave. The cry startled everyone inside and out of the cave. Sonja dove over the Marcus. As she passed over him she kicked the stunned Mephitits in the face. She landed with a roll. As soon as her feet touched the floor Sonja sprang backwards. Her hands touched the ground, as she came down hard. Sonja's knees landed on both of the DildoQueen's collar-bone.
 
Marcus was sent backwards with an unconscious Mephitits on top of him. It sounded like the DildoQueen was dying, a horrible, blood-curdling, scream of pain echoed through out the cave. The other girl rushed out of the back of the cave. She'd returned shortly before Sonja and Mika did, but instead of jumping into the taming frenzy that was starting she'd gone to the back with two packs and a large sack that he was sure was all stolen from his campsite.
 
Mika shot a Web Shot from each wrist, the ends of the webbing catching the girl on each shoulder. Pulling hard Mika caused the girl to suddenly fly at her. Clasping both hands together Mika spun to her left. She caught the 'girl as she came flying at her with her left forearm. The black furred 'girl went down with a grunt. She gasped and wheezed as she rolled around on the floor. “Marcus, are you alright?”
 
Marcus rolled the Mephitits off of him. He was lucky that the girl hadn't sprayed him when she was surprised by Sonja's arrival. “I'm just peachy.”
 
“You didn't get it in the ass did you?” Sonja rushed over and spread Marcus's ass out, hoping that she wouldn't find semen leaking out of the wrong hole.
 
Marcus winced. “Easy, that DildoQueen wasn't exactly a loose fit.” Marcus busted up laughing at the shocked expressions on Mika's and Sonja's face. “Just joking. Nope, my ass remains rape free. To bad I can't say the same about our friends here.” Marcus pointed to where the Mephitits was laying unconscious and the DildoQueen was rolling around on the floor clutching her chest in pain.
 
Marcus walke to the back of the cave. As he thought there was his backpacks and the sack he'd used to gather fruit. There were a few other bags as well, but they all seemed to be empty. Marcus dug through to the bottom of the pack and pulled out two pokéballs. He tossed one to Sonja and Mika and pointed to the unknown girl and the Mephitits. “And as for you,” Marcus walked over and stood above the crying DildoQueen. She had a look of fear in her eyes that he could just barely make out. What light was in the cave was all thanks to the reflected light from a quarter moon on a cloudless night. “We've got this.”
 
“Are you out of your mind? Why are you using our P-Meds on this feral? 'Ball her and we can sell her ass to the nearest ranch!” Mika hated it when Marcus was like this. He was always doing something that never made any sense. Which was about the same as Sonja when she stopped to think about it.
 
“Because she isn't feral. At least not fully yet,” Marcus showed the spray to the DildoQueen.
 
The DildoQueen eyed the bottle through teary eyes. “Queen. Dildo, do do Queen.” She tried to relax as the potion was injected into her chest. The relief wasn't instant, but it was instant enough. She smiled weakly as she fell asleep.
 
Marcus looked over to where Mika and Sonja each held a ball. There was no sign of the ferals, indicating that the captures had been successful. “Guess we're sleeping here tonight. Unless of course you would rather hike back to where our tent is?”
 
“I'll carry the DildoQueen,” Mika said as she picked up the slumbering Shemale Pokégirl. Mika picked up the 'girl after handing the ball containing the mysterious girl to Marcus.
 
“You get to carry me then.” Marcus sat down on the ground. Leaning back he rested propped up against the wall of the cave. Going at it for only the Gods know how long with a half feral, horny DildoQueen and a feral Mephitits would take it out of anyone, even if they did have Endurance.
 
Sonja lifted Marcus onto her back. “You better rest up. You owe me and Mika at least two loads for every shot you wasted on that dicked-bitch,” Sonja followed Mika.
. . . . . . . . . .
Marcus sniffed the air, something was cooking. He didn't want to wake up just yet, but the smell of what ever was cooking was just to tempting to pass up. Yawning, Marcus stretched his arms out. He looked around for Sonja and Mika, but neither them nor the DildoQueen were inside the tent with him. Crawling to the exit Marcus stuck his head out and didn't know what to make of what he saw. Last night Sonja and Mika were ready to tear the DildoQueen limb from dick, but now the three were all talking and laughing around a small fire. “What's the celebration?”
 
The three turned their attention from one another to Marcus. “'bout time you woke up. I was beginning to wonder if I broke ya last night.” The DildoQueen smiled as she reached into the fire with what looked to be a large set of chopsticks. Marcus caught a sight of a large, smooth stone that was in the middle of the flame was acting the part of a skillet. “You should be hungry after last night. You were able to handle yourself quite well last night.”
 
Marcus blushed slightly as he dragged the rest of his body out of the tent. “Happy to impress. What's for breakfast?” Marcus walked over and sat down between Sonja and the DildoQueen.
 
“Thank you again for helping me,” she leaned over and kissed the young tamer on the cheek. “My name is Celina.” After last night there really wasn't any reason for them to be strangers. She handed Marcus a large leaf filled with fish and fruit. “Here's something to help you get your strength up. From what Sonja,” Celina motioned to the 'kapoeraa, “tells me that you owe them two shots each for every one you gave me and the Mephitits. By my calculations thats...” Celina acted like she was doing a complicated problem in the air, tracing numbers with her finger. “That's at least ten shots each, which means you've got to come up with twenty.” She laughed at the expression on the tamer's face. “So you're heading to Cherrybust?”
 
“That was the plan, but I doubt I'll survive it.” Marcus was worried by the looks in his girls' eyes. He'd seen that particular gleam before, and it was in the eye of a HentaiCute that was horny that used to live next to him. “Why'd you have to go and do that?”
 
“Oh don't worry. She's gonna be traveling with us until we reach Cherrybust.” Mika explained that Celina had been separated from her Mistress about three weeks ago. She'd been heading towards Cherrybust the best she could, but going feral had seriously hampered her directional intuition. The Mephitits and the other girl, which turned out to be a Mynx, were to help try and slow down the process. Unfortunately it hadn't been working that well. Celina was nearly fully feral when the Mephitits brought Marcus back to the den.
 
“What's going to happen to the Mephitits and the Mynx?” Celina had come to like the two ferals. It was by accident that she'd even found them.
 
“Don't worry. I'm keeping them. They might come in handy.” Marcus didn't have to worry about the Mephitits, he'd already tamed her last night. Unfortunately that wasn't the case with the Mynx. He'd have to make sure to something about that before Sonja and Mika got a bit to impatient.
 
“Marcus, tent, now.” Mika shot up and dragged Marcus across the ground back to the tent. She threw him inside on the sleeping bags and closed the flap.
 
“What was that all about?” Celina turned her head and stared at the tent. Sonja shrugged and turned back to breakfast. Celina smiled as her question was answered. The tent started rocking with the taming going on inside. “Well that answers that question. What do you suppose got into her? I thought she wasn't the kind to randomly get going like that?”
 
“She's not. It's usually my job.” Sonja huffed a bit. She'd been just a few seconds faster and she would have been the one inside the tent screaming from the high heavens. “S'not fair. I was just about to do that.” Sonja pouted. She threw a quick glance at Celina and tackled her from out of nowhere.
 
“Wha-what the hell are you doing!?” Celina had been eating a broiled mango one minute, and the next the mango was smeared all over her mouth with the 'kapoeraa leaning over her and cleaning it up with her mouth.
 
“You're gonna pay to. You're gonna give back every drop of sperm you guzzled out of my master last night.” Sonja licked the sweet fruit juice off from around Celina's mouth.
 
Celina grinned and grabbed Sonja's ass, a cheek for each hand. Squeezing hard she forced a kiss onto the 'kapoeraa. “You sure that your master won't mind you doing this?” She cranked her head to the side as Sonja started trailing kisses down her neck. “You sure that you don't mind doing this with a pregnant woman?”
 
Sonja answered the best way that she could think of. Her tongue slipped into the DildoQueen's cunt while stroking her cock.
 
Marcus didn't know what was going on with Mika. Sure she'd been aggressive before, but not to this extent. “What's gotten into you?”
 
“Don't talk. Just tame.” Mika could feel that this was the time. She could feel it in her bones. All she had to do was get him going and she'd be able to continue till the sun went down.
. . . . . . . . . .
“What the hell was all that about?” Marcus felt like he'd been ran over by a a pack of feral HentaiCutes.
 
“Wondering why I dragged you into the tent yesterday and rode you till sundown?” Mika stretched. “Because down wind of us there was something that let loose a large blast of Lust Dust. It didn't get a chance to loose it's effect before it hit the four of us.” Mika enjoyed her new body. She was now the tallest of them, her evolution pushing her height up to almost six-four. The fact that she was also now the bustiest member of the harem didn't hurt to much. Mika had enjoyed teasing Sonja about having the smaller breasts the same way that she had done to her for several years.
 
“You cheated!” Sonja fummed. She had a hard time standing after yesterday. Celina wasn't satisfied with just using that large dick of hers, oh no. She had to summon up a wide assortment of vibrators, dildos, eggs, and clamps and just had to see what and how many of them could be fit inside of her. “Marcus, put me up. I'm not doing nothing today.”
 
Marcus couldn't help laughing as he put Sonja in her pokéball like she wanted. “So Celina, you want to ride to?” Marcus held up an empty ball. What he didn't expect was for Celina to duck behind Mika.
 
“Get that damned thing away from me!” Celina was frightened. It wasn't because she was afraid of pokéballs, but because if she entered a 'ball now then it would terminate her pregnancy.
 
Marcus laughed. He didn't know about the pregnancy, so he figured that it was just an act or she was just phobic about 'balls. “Why not? It'll make sure you rest easily. You had fun playing with Sonja last night. You must be just as tired as she is.”
 
“Marcus cut it out. Celina's pregnant. Don't worry, it's not yours.” Mika smirked when she saw the shocked expression on his face. He didn't get a chance to hear that detail before she dragged him off for the day long taming spree.
 
“Sorry about that. I'll behave from now on, I promise.” Marcus put the empty ball back on his belt. So far it'd been an interesting start. One quest, two new girls, and three travelers looking for Cherrybust. “Well, let's shake a leg.” Marcus stood around while Celina and Mika began packing up.
 
“Marcus, what the hell are you doing?” She did not think it was right for Marcus to stand around doing nothing while she and Celina packed up. Marcus was standing on one leg, wagging the other.
 
“I said let's shake a leg, not 'let's get everything packed up and leave.'” Marcus jumped out of the way as Mika tried to bop him on the head. “Fine, fine, fine.” Marcus helped gather everything and finish packing the camp. “Shall we ladies?”
Marcus and company continued north, following the river upstream for the remainder of the day. Lunch was on the go, an assortments of fruits that they happened to find along the way. Towards the end of the day Sonja was feeling up to traveling as well. Two day's past with out anything more than the usual ferals. The one good thing that had happened was that he had come up with names for the Mephitits and the Mynx. Leilah and Anahi respectively.
 
“Myn, mynx ynx my.” Anahi was pointing off to the left towards the river. Marcus looked over to see that there was some water girl splashing around in the river. As long as she stayed where she was and didn't bother him, Marcus didn't plan on disturbing her.
 
“What do you say to going swimming later?” Marcus was asking Anahi and Mika. Sonja had opted to scout ahead and she'd taken Leilah with her. “You girls up for getting wet?” Marcus got a chorus of yes from everyone that could talk.
 
“Marcus, Marcus!” Sonja came running back as if a Widow was on her heels. She skidded to a halt, grabbed Marcus by the wrist, and ran back.
 
Marcus stumbled a few time, but it didn't throw off the rhythm of the running. “SONJA!” Mika was screaming behind him as she ran to keep up with everyone. He could hear someone laughing. By the sounds of it it was Celina. She'd admitted to having fun with the group.
 
“Looklooklook!” Sonja stopped, jerking Marcus back as he over shot her. She pointed to a large waterfall that cascaded down a short drop gently. She smiled proudly, everyone was in awe at the sight.
 
“Oh yeah, we're definitely getting wet.” Mika had to admit that it was beautiful. She was already removing her clothes as a matter of fact.
 
“Sorry Cel, but it looks like we're gonna end up lagging behind schedule a bit. Marcus dropped his pack and rushed to the water. There was nothing in his pockets that was gonna be harmed from getting wet, so he jumped right in. Marcus was swimming through the clear blue water when he saw where Leilah had gotten off to. His Mephitits was struggling under the water with a feral that had bright red hair. Marcus broke through the surface of the pool. Gasping for air Marcus was able to let out, “Leilah.... feral..... underwater.....” He took a deep breath and dived back down. The sounds of the girls jumping into the water echoed through the pool.
 
Sonja was the first to reach the struggling trio, Marcus getting there first. She pried the hand around Marcus's throat free, allowing him to swim away. She then struggled to free the vine wrapped around Leilah's throat. She succeeded, Mika joining to drag the feral back to the surface. With Leilah over her shoulder Sonja made for the surface, thankful that the pool was only around ten or twelve feet deep. She swam over to the edge. Mika already had the feral wrapped up tightly in her webs. “What the hell is that thing!?” Sonja screamed as she laid Leilah on her back.
 
“Don't know.” Marcus ran over to Leilah. He placed both hands over her chest and started pressing down in a steady rhythm. CPR was developed before the war broke out, and it was still as useful now as it was then. He helped Leilah lean up as she began hacking up water. “You okay? Somebody get her in a god damned ball now before she escapes.” Marcus yelled over the screaming feral.
 
Leilah nodded. “Meph,” Marcus didn't know what she said, but she was pointing at the Cherry Blossom and he could guess that it wasn't anything friendly. Marcus knew what she was now, the 'girl had been screaming 'Cherry Blossom' at the top of her lungs as she struggled against Mika's webbing. Sure that Leilah was alright he scooted over to where Celina had the pack. He pulled out the 'dex and brought up the Cherry Blossom entry. There was a warning flashing across the screen. “We were supposed to have run. Mika, make sure she doesn't run. If her hair don't change back from red, kill her.”
 
Mika nodded. Marcus didn't ever want to kill unless there wasn't any other choice. Mika's precognitive ability told her that something wrong was about to happen. She blasted the Cherry Blossom with the strongest Confusion she could muster before the Cherry Blossom could do what ever it was she was planning. The red head fell limp in the the cocoon of webs she was trapped in.
 
“Is she dead?” Sonja asked as she picked up a stick and poked the captured girl in the cheek. There was no response, the Cherry Blossom didn't move an inch. Sonja walked up a tad closer and poked her again, this time with her finger. Nothing.
 
“I think so. If not then she's just unconscious.” Mika was tempted to blast her again, once her head stopped throbbing. Her Psychic powers were much stronger, and she wasn't quite used to them just yet. She sat down after encasing The Cherry Blossom in another two layers of webbing just to be on the safe side.
 
Anahi was the only one that didn't jump into the water besides Celina. If the Feral had made it out unharmed then it was only her standing between Celina and what ever it was that had grabbed Leila. “Mynx, myn.” She had disappeared into the surrounding foliage for just a minute, her enhanced sense of smell picking up something ripe. She returned carrying several golf ball purple berries. She passed one to Leila first, the Mephitits taking it with one hand. Anahi passed out the others to everyone else, everyone except the Cherry Blossom of course.
 
“This a Great Grape?” Marcus turned the berry over a few times in his hand. Celina looked just as confused he was. Mika nodded her head. “It is. Eat it, it's good for you.” Mika had already popped the one she was given in her mouth. Sonja did so as well. Marcus shrugged and ate his, Celina doing the same as everyone else. Marcus felt refreshed after eating the berry.
 
Mika sighed her headache was just starting ebb when she suddenly got a really bad feeling. She leaped, spinning three hundred sixty degrees. The heel of her right foot caught the Cherry Blossom's right temple. The red-head's neck snapped to the side.
 
Marcus twirled around, his tail unfurling. “What the hell was that about?” The Cherry Blossom was laying even limper than before in her web casing.
 
“She was waking up. You told me to kill her if she wasn't already dead.” Mika checked for a pulse. Sure enough there wasn't anything there, the girl's neck had been snapped. “What're you doing?” Mika asked as Celina started walking around the deceased 'girl with Marcus's pokédex.
 
“I'm documenting that she's really dead. The 'dex says that there's a reward for reporting one, so Marcus and you should get an even bigger reward for actually killing one that's killed before.” Celina finished up and closed the dex. She went to hand it to Marcus but the young tamer had disappeared. “Where's Marcus? And where's Sonja?” Celina had noticed that the Amazonkapoeraa had disappeared as well. She looked to the waterfall where Anahi was pointing. She gasped in surprise when two naked forms, one with a tail, came flying out from over the edge of the cliff.
 
Marcus gave out a loud yell of excitement as him and Sonja fell to the earth. He took a deep breath seconds before he cannonballed into the water. Sonja splashed down at the same time he did. There was no need to dive down any further, he was already over eight feet down. He rested there for a split second, enjoying the sensation of the cold water running over his body. The two of them breached the surface of the pool. “What, you aren't coming in?”
 
“What are you thinking? We just got done with one feral in the area, don't you think that there might be more?” Celina crossed her arms as she stood next to the pool. Marcus wasn't even looking at her, instead looking right past her instead. She grew worried when he smiled and nodded. She turned around just as a black and white blur tackled her into the water.
 
“Ten points to Leilah for getting the DildoQueen into the water.” Mika nodded. She jumped up and preformed a back flip as a black streak rushed under her. Anahi rushed right under her. Mika laughed as she landed. “You missed.” She took a running leap and landed in the water next to Sonja, soaking her already drenched form even more.
 
Marcus dragged himself out of the water. Everyone had been splashing and swimming the rest of the entire day away. He yawned as he leaned back. The sun was staring to set on the opposite bank. Sonja made one last pass down the waterfall, she whooped in delight as she slid down the smooth stones, splashing into the pool.
 
“You know what? Even though I miss my Mistress and my sisters, it's been fun hanging around with you guys. I'm gonna be a bit sad when we get back to Cherrybust.” Celina drew her legs up to her chest and rested her chin on her knees, or as close as she could get with her chest in the way. Sonja came over and sat next to her. They both got a slight giggle over Anahi and Leilah. Ever since they'd been tamed the two had been competing against each other over Marcus's affections. Marcus was currently in the same position that was starting to become the usual, in the middle of Anahi and Leilah with their tails wrapped around him.
 
Marcus used his tail to wrap around the other two. “Now this is the way to stay warm at nights.” Anahi had the softer tail, but Leilah's was much broader. Mika was to busy laughing to do anything. Marcus leaned back, drawing Anahi and Leilah down with him. He yawned again, tired from the day's activities. “Does anyone need tamed tonight? I'm tired as hell.” Marcus wasn't surprised when Anahi and Leilah both nodded. They may have only had libidos in the average range, but the truth was that they wanted it all the time every day. Marcus was sure that they'd give a HentaiCute a run for her credits. “I sort of figured you two sex pots did.” Another person's libido that wasn't what it used to have been was Mika's. The Spiderwoman's libdo had increased with her evolution.
 
“Oh no ladies, you two are with me tonight.” Mika smiled wickedly as she stood up and leaned over, caressing both the Mynx and the Mephitits. She dragged them off of Marcus into the tent.
 
Celina had moved over to sit next to Marcus, Sonja taking up the empty space on his other side. “Don't forget about us now.” Celina whispered into his ear. She took his hand and placed it around her member. Marcus liked Celina, there wasn't any doubt about it. He just wasn't that sure if he was willing to suck or open his ass to her.
 
Marcus let Mika play with the two in the tent for the rest of the night. He spent part of his night making it up to Sonja for not spending time with her for the past few days. He even finally gave into Celina, though he was certain now that he looked back on it, that she'd used some of her Sexual Techniques on him to do it.
 
“There she is ladies, Cherrybust City,” Marcus pointed off to the distance. There were large buildings towering over the cut away area surrounding the city. Marcus, Mika, Sonja, Celina, Leilah, and Anahi all took off down the hill, racing for the town. Everyone was out of breath when they reached the city limits, Anahi reaching the city limits second, behind Mika. Marcus didn't bother putting anyone in his harem up. He figured that since none of them were that rare he didn't have much to worry about. Besides, he'd already checked the laws. He could refuse a match without handing anyone over. They all followed Celina, who had made a bee-line for her home.
 
“CELINA!!” The DildoQueen was glomped by seven teenage looking girls and three women.
 
“PAM! HELEN! MARCI! ALEX! EVERYONE!” Celina was in the middle of a sea of hugs. She was finally home with everyone that she loved, including her Mistress. “Everyone, this is Marcus. He's the one that brought me back here. He not only save me, but he even saved my baby.”
 
Marcus was bowled over by the affectionate group of girls, at least the teenagers. He couldn't hear what anyone was saying, but there was an unmistakable air of gratitude. “Come on girls, let the guy breath.”
 
“Yeah, I like that idea. Let me breath.” Marcus had just gotten to his feet when his head was smashed between two large sets of naked tits. “Smhill fan'h breef.” Marcus mumbled through the cleavage. It was a few seconds, but he was finally able to breath. He took a deep breath amidst another chorus of thanks.
 
“I'm Pam. Thank you so much for bringing Celina back to us.” Pam turned out to be the only woman, besides Celina, who was wearing any clothing. Her tank-top was low cut and barely covered her breasts, and her shorts were about in the same condition. Every visible inch of skin below her neck was coved in tattoos. Now that he looked around Marcus realized that everyone that wasn't wearing clothing was in pretty much the same condition. The two older ones, now that he was able to see more than just cleavage, were completely naked and covered in tattoos as well, although one was covered in fur underneath her tattoos. Marcus was introduced to the entire group. Pam was the only human. She owned Celina and the other two girls, the Tats Helen, and the Tatfir Alex. Marcus introduced himself and everyone else in his harem.
 
“Please, I just want to do something to show you how grateful I am to you for bringing Celina back. How about a couple of free tattoos?” Helen was the one who'd made the offer. Pam and Alex nodded. A couple of tattoos for Marcus and the others wasn't even going to begin to cover their gratitude. “You're going to get at least one. There's no saying no.”
 
Below them was a large studio. Pam owned a tattoo parlor that tailored to human and pokégirls alike. Helen and Alex were even able to handle magical tattoos. The most popular ones were the ones that allowed both tamer and pokégirls alike to increase their endurance and pleasure thresholds during tamings. Those were by far the most popular. “Come on.” Helen grabbed Marcus by the arm and dragged him down stairs. With the return of Celina, Pam decided to close the shop in celebration. She didn't even need to tell Marcus to take off his shirt, the young tamer had come with out it. Helen forced Marcus into a chair and had him place his right arm down on a rag.
 
“Where are they going?” Sonja asked as she watched her tamer get dragged downstairs.
 
“It's nothing. Marcus is just about to be tattooed by Helen. I'm sure she could give you one as well.” Amber shrugged as she continued to sketch. Helen was her mother, and she knew what the Tats was doing. She also knew that before Marcus even knew it that the tattoos were going to have a magical property to it. What she didn't know was if Helen was going to give Marcus any ideas as to what it was going to do.
 
Sonja didn't worry about it. She was pleased to do as several of the daughters asked and pose for their drawings. There were some that used pencil and paper, others were using paints and canvas. She even dragged Mika into the portraits.
 
“I wanna do something to,” Alex looked around and grabbed the nearest member of Marcus's harem. Anahi squirmed only a bit when Alex twirled a brush in her hand. “Let's see. Black fur, I know just the thing.” The brush started flowing with an electric blue paint. She began at the Mynx's wrist, painting a tribal flame up the girl's right arm. She was quick about it, applying only a temporary tattoo. “Try it out. You should be able to do a simple flame shot with that.”
“Mynx.” Anahi pointed her fist at a concrete wall. She concentrated as Alex walked her through it. Sure enough a ball of fire appeared a half inch in front of her fist. Releasing the blast a ball of fire the size of a soft ball. It exploded on the wall, barely scorching where it hit. Anahi's eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Mynx. Myn mynx ynx yn.” She pointed to her right arm.
 
Alex laughed, “Sure thing.” Alex brought Anahi over to the sink and washed away the ink she had used. Now that she was going to actually begin a permanent tattoo she was going to take her time.
 
Mika looked on with interest as Anahi started getting her own tattoo. “AALLEEX! COOMME DOOWN HEEERRREEE!” Helen was shouting from down stairs for Alex. “WHAT DO YOU WANT? I'M BUSY!” “JUST COME DOWN HERE AND LOOK, I NEED A BIT OF HELP!” “YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT FOR A WHILE.” The conversation went back and forth. Mika headed downstairs with Alex nearly an hour later. “Now what's so....” Alex trailed off.
 
“I want you to finish watching me. I think you're gonna like this.” Helen stood back and took a drink of water. She had been working for nearly three hours on Marcus's main tattoo. Marcus had a tribal tattoo that covered both of his arms, connecting to each other across the top of his back around the base of his neck. That tattoo had been only maybe an hour to finish.
 
The tattoo that she was wanting to show off was the one that covered most of Marcus's back. There was a raging creature that looked very much like the Pre-Sukebe baboon across his back. The creature looked to be tearing it's way through Marcus's very skin, clawing it's way out. Red eyes lurked beneath shredded flesh. A muzzled mouth opened in a silent scream of fury, filled with sharp teeth. Marcu's back indeed looked like it was being torn to shreds by the beast inside trying to claw and bite it's way out.
 
“That looks wicked...” Alex breathed. She looked at Mika who was wide eyed at the sight on her Master's back.
 
“Doesn't that hurt?” Mika was impressed by the level of design of the tattoo, but she was more worried about the status of her tamer.
 
“Only if you let it.” Marcus took a deep breath, being careful not to move to much. The feeling of the tattoo gun's needle penetrating his flesh at high speeds didn't bother him to much, he'd felt worse. “What've you been up to?”
 
“Me and Sonja actually posed for a few portraits for the girls.” Mika looked behind her. Sonja had come downstairs with Leilah and Anahi behind her. The three of them gasped at the savage beauty of the design on Marcus's back. They watched for the next two hours. It was nearly midnight when Helen leaned back and stretched. She stood up and smiled happily, her work was done.
 
“Finished.” Helen stood back to admire her work. She grabbed the camera from the shelf and snapped a few pictures after Alex wiped the tattoos down. “Ohh, Pam's going to freak when she sees these.” Pam hadn't showed up at all during the time. She was probably making up for loss time with Celina right now.
 
“Gotta hand it to you, they look awesome.”
 
“Thanks. But to tell the truth I was just planning on doing the sleeves. The full back was his idead.” Helen placed the camera back on the shelf. Later on the tattoos that she just took pictures of would be added the ever growing mural of photos of previous tattoos.
 
“So are you going to tell us what they do? I know you mother.” Amber said as she admired her mother's work.
 
“You know me to well,” Helen smiled again. Her eldest daughter was a sharp one. “The full sleeve tribal tattoos are strength increasers. You could possibly increase your strength by up to five folds.” She ran a finger down his spine, “This one is special. Since you were taking care of Celina I made sure that you would survive in case you were ever kidnapped again.” She had heard of the chance meeting from Marcus while the tattoos were being done. “This one will mimic the 'Monster Out' Bloodcurse. Now I don't know what shape you'll take, but it should keep anything shy of a Widow from messing with you for a while, giving you enough time to escape.”
 
“I can't wait to try these out.” Marcus was growing excited at the idea of being able to test drive these tattoos. He knew that he was going to need practice with them, but that was fine by him.
 
“There's just something that you're gonna need to know.” Helen said as she started applying a healing salve onto the tattoos. The salve would help his body heal without damaging either the design of the tattoo or it's mystical properties. She applied it to every part of his body that her needle had touched. “There. Just try not to do any sort of vigorous tamings or activities for a few days, understood?”
 
Marcus nodded. “Sorry ladies, you heard the expert.” Marcus suddenly had a black arm shoved into his face. The black arm had a blue tribal flame that actually looked like it was burning. He followed the arm with his eyes to see that the arm was attached to Anahi. “Nice. You got a cool one as well.” Marcus knew that he had just gotten several expensive tattoos for free for doing almost nothing. Marcus was allowed to stay the night on the couch. The girls, due to a lack of room, were forced to be put inside of their pokéballs.
 
When Marcus woke up the next morning his body felt tight. The skin on his arms and back were feeling like it was ready to split open. He sat on the sofa while stretching, trying to loosen his upper body. When his body felt considerably better Marcus reached over and let loose his harem. Everyone seemed to have a good night's rest. “Come on. I think it's about time we checked out the gym.” Marcus got a few nods. He was just about out the door when someone grabbed him by the elbow.
 
“Hold it. You're not getting away before I can see the works.” Pam didn't grab the tattoos, but she did manage to grab hold him before he was able to leave. She carefully stripped off his shirt, admiring the work that Helen had done. “Very nice. Did she tell you what they did, if anything?”
 
“Yep. The set on the arms and across the back of the neck increase my strength, and the big one on the back was supposed to do something like that Monster-something-or-other Curse.” Marcus nodded when Mika corrected him. “Yeah. That Monster Out Curse. Don't worry, we're just gonna check out the Gym. Maybe take a walk before doing some training.” Marcus winked at Sonja, who was now smiling happily and bouncing in place.
 
“You're always welcome to stay here.” Pam let Marcus and his harem know that they were always welcomed, and a few tid-bits of information regarding the Gym Leader. “Though from what Celina tells me, you should be just fine.” Pam ignored the flushed look Marcus's face. If she wasn't into tits more than the average male, she might have given a second thought to spending a single 'Thank You' night with the young man.
 
“We'll be seeing ya.” Marcus put his shirt back on and headed out into the streets.
 
Anahi and Leilah stared at the tall buildings wide eyed. They'd only been living in the wilds up to now. The large structures were completely alien to them. “Come on over here girls.” Marcus lead them down the street. They'd been following the sings to the gym. “So this is it. What'd you say to going in an taking a peak?”
 
“Excuse me, but can I help you?”
 
Marcus turned around. He couldn't see anyone through the thick crowd of people. “Who said that?” Anahi tugged on his sleeve and pointed just above their heads. Fluttering above them was a miniaturized woman. “Was that you?”
 
“Yes that was me. So what did you want? Did you want a way to sneak peek at the competition?” The Fairy fluttered to the side to avoid a falling leaf. She circled in a wide arc to come and land on the top of Anahi's head. She didn't weigh very much, and the Mynx didn't seem to mind at all.
 
“If it's possible.” Marcus sort of nodded.
 
“Everything's possible. It's just a matter of whither or not it's legal.” She sat down on the top of Anahi's head. She fluttered her wings a bit, not nearly enough to get them to get her air born. “But I can tell you right now. The Gym Leader is booked for the next week, sad part is that all of his assistants were given a break before they all quit.”
 
“Damn.” Marcus sighed. There wasn't much he could do besides holding the Gym Leader at knife point for a match, but he didn't see that as an appropriate solution to the problem, though a solution none the less.
 
“Try next week. We should be free then.” The Fairy fluttered from the top of Anahi's head and pecked Marcus on the cheek.
 
“We?” Sonja asked.
 
“I'm Sahkyo. I belong to Mohamed Abed Wonton.” The Fairy-Type fluttered way towards the Gym.
 
“Guess we've got a week then. Now, how about that walk?” Sonja squealed with joy at Mika's suggestion.
 
The 'walk' was kept relatively tame with Anahi and Leilah joining them. The two weren't used to the 'walk' yet. Marcus didn't think that Leilah was gonna be able to do much with that waddle in her run, but she managed to do okay. For the rest of the day Marcus, Mika, and Sonja helped the two of them with a few basic fighting moves, counters, and the best way to fall.
 
“Marcus, you sure you want to do this? You only got those tattoos a few days ago.” Mika was worried. Yesterday had been mostly about showing Anahi and Leilah a few simple moves, a light training session. Today Marcus suddenly sprung up that he was going to try out his new tattoos. There was really no place other to train than just pass the massive cherry orchids, just on the edge of the Salaam Forest.
 
“I wouldn't go there if I were you.” A Ladyien came from the sea of pink topped trees and set down right in front of him. “There's something other than the Elf Court in those trees. It's been attacking Ferals and Tamers alike. It's not very often, but every now and then a Tamer will make it back. Usually with most of his harem's destroyed or lost. Most times they just up and disappear.”
 
“I'm sorry. But is it custom to scare the crap out of everyone?” Marcus asked. “Because if it is, then consider me thoroughly scared.” Marcus shivered. He wasn't quite sure if he wanted to go into the forest now, but he definitely would be going later. “Thanks for the heads up.” Marcus and company continued into the forest, only going a few dozen yards into the heavily wooded area.
 
“Heh. You girls gonna stop me if I go crazy?” There was a few nods all around. “Then here we go.” Marcus didn't know how to activate the abilities of the tattoos, but he could feel them. The change was slow. His mouth opened as his teeth grew larger slightly, canines elongating. His mouth turned into a slight muzzle, his nose flattening slightly. What clothing he was wearing, shorts, grew tight as his mass increased.
 
Mika looked in shock as Marcus transformed into the monstrosity before her. She'd never been scared of Marcus, till now. When the transformation was complete Marcus was easily another two feet taller than she was. She backed away slowly, the same as everyone else did, when Marcus began looking around. He let out a screech that almost robbed her of her hearing. “Marcus?” The beast looked at her with golden blood shot eyes. Mika blasted Marcus with a blast of webbing just as he was jumping up into an over head tree.
 
“MIKA! What the hell is that for!” Sonja screamed as she ran around a tree to see the front side of Marcus. From the back all she could tell was that her Master became much larger, a longer tail, and much fuzzier. From the front however the appearance was greatly different. She was just as wide eyed as the rest of them when she saw the facial features. Marcus was much more beastial in appearance now, there was no mistake about that.
 
“He was about to attack us.” Mika grew worried as Marcus struggled against the webbings. Even though the sticky silk stretched it didn't show signs of breaking. “We were asked to stop him in case he did anything he would have regretted, like attacking us. So I did.” Mika waited patiently for the magic to run it's course.
 
Several hours passed and Marcus was still under the effects of the magic tattoo. “Son....ja... Mik...ka...” Mika and Sonja jumped up. Marcus had said their names! Anahi and Leilah both stood before Marcus as well, though they were behind the first two. They carried a conversation between the two of them that nobody else heard.
 
“Damn....it....” Marcus was wrestling for control over his own body against himself. The magic had unleashed a beast that was inside of him, one he never suspected was there. He was mentally thankful that Mika had trapped him in her webbing, he was about to attack the very girls he had sworn to himself that he would keep safe. The beast was still raging inside of him, and he figured that it always would.
 
“You're not getting the best of me,” Marcus stood in front of his inner demon. “Like you can do anything to stop me, puny human. I'm the better part of you, admit it.” The beast sneered. Neither of the two were backing down. On the mental plane physical size meant nothing. They were each of equal height, but Marcus knew that he was the better looking of the two. “What do you say to giving up? You know full well that you can't beat me. I am you.” The beast grabbed hold of Marcus in one hand and lifted him up. “Yeah right you ugly brute.” Marcus's eyes glowed with a golden light. “How about you stay where you belong, in here.” Marcus tapped his head. “Sorry, but I'm not going back. I like it here.” Marcus grew to big to suddenly for the the beast to keep hold of him. Once again they were standing eye to eye, even though they were both squatting down on all fours. “Don't think you can control me human.” “Don't think I can't. I've been doing it so far.” The beast burst into a red light as it was absorbed into Marcus's body. Marcus had won... for now...
 
“You know that this is going to be a pain in the ass to pull out of my fur.” Marcus sighed to a wide eyed audience. With everyones help Marcus was able to tear off Mika's webbing, albeit painfully. “Thanks Mik.” Marcus gave everyone a hug. He'd been to close to attacking and 'raping' everyone in front of him. “So, how about another walk?”
 
“Are you crazy!? You just got that thing under control. What do you want to go running off into the forest for?” Mika had Anahi and Leilah's support. Sonja however was in favor of Marcus. If he said that he had everything under control then she'd believe in him. She wasn't worried either. With Mika's ability to foresee just about everything that was going to happen then it'd be fine. “Marcus, don't...” Mika warned him.
 
“Come on, race ya.” Marcus ignored the warning. He was much stronger now. Instead of having to climb Marcus was able to leap to a branch that was hanging over their heads by a good ten feet. He grabbed hold of the branch and swung around, stopping vertically above the girls. “What's wrong? Don't think you can keep up?” Marcus teased. Marcus began to fall, swinging in two complete circles he let go of the branch. He somersaulted through the air. He slowed his flipping as he started to fall. Using his tail he caught another branch. Righting himself he waited for Mika and the rest to catch up.
 
“MEPHI! MEPH, TITS!” Leilah was screaming at him from the top of her lungs. Marcus jumped backwards slightly off the branch. As he fell he caught it with his hands. Swinging down, Marcus performed a backwards Moonsault before landing right in front of the annoyed Mephitits. “Mephi phi phi tits.” Leilah crossed her arms. To make sure Marcus knew what she was saying she pointed to her rear, and then back to him. She also waved a hand in front of her nose to make sure he got the general message.
 
Marcus got it. Leilah was basically saying that if he took off again like that she'd spray him with everything she had. Being on the wrong end of a Mephitits wasn't something Marcus was looking forward to. “Got it.” Leilah nodded satisfactorily. Marcus leaped up again, but this time there was a major difference. Before he reached the branch he was aiming for the magic must have ran it's course. Marcus reverted back to his true form nearly eight feet in the air. Since he wasn't used to the shifting quite yet Marcus's body felt like it was on fire. He missed the branch by two feet. He fell backwards, to focused on the pain to realize that he was about to smack his head on a rock.
 
'I told you not to do it,' Leilah's look said that and more. She had caught Marcus before he had hurt himself in his fall. She didn't let go as they walked out of the forest, not knowing that there were several pairs of eyes watching them.
 
Marcus felt like he had done good. It had been almost an entire week since he started training for control over his body against his inner beast. “Trust me, there's been times I've just wanted to shut my mind down and let that thing take over.” Marcus and everyone was once again inside the borders of the Salaam Forest.
 
“You're getting better. I don't think that the beast inside of you struggles as much any more.” Amber replied as she got up from her seat at the base of a large tree trunk. The day after Marcus had first tried out the new tattoos Amber had decided to tag along. There was very little feral activity this close to the city, the only exception was the Pidgy or Budgetit that showed up every now and then.
 
Everyone was fighting Marcus at the same time, and yet he was sitting right next to Amber. “You know that's pretty damn cool.” Marcus watched as four copies of himself faced off against the members of his harem. Each one was a copy created and controlled by Amber. The Ar-Tits had one hell of an ability. She could bring to life and control anything she drew. The first time Marcus had seen Amber's abilities was when she scared the hell out of him the first day. Marcus had been testing out exactly how strong he was when all of the sudden the group was attacked by a Widow. It turned out to be just another one of Amber's drawings brought to life by her Painted Fantasy.
 
“You done sucking up to me?” Amber smiled as she stuck her pencil into her hair. Her hair was different from the others. While most of her family had some sort of red in their hair, her's was a vibrant neon green that had electric blue streaks running through her hair. “You know that I'm not old enough to need tamings.” She'd been using that joke for a few days now, and everyone seemed to think it was fine.
 
“Come on. You know that your mother's would miss you to much.” Marcus stood up and popped his back. After nearly a full week of training he was ready to try the strength enhancers again. A pungent smell drifted over the group. Marcus was glad that it was only a copy of him that got sprayed by Leilah and not him directly. Leilah was grabbing hold of where she'd been slashed with his copy's nails. While slower than Anahi, Leilah was picking up on brawling easily. She rolled backwards as his copy flipped backwards. Leilah spun around and popped up into a handstand when his clone started attacking her again, a thick spray hitting him right in the face. His copy fell down, itching and writhing along the ground as he tried to get the foul smelling substance out of it's fur. Leilah stood over him and nodded curtly, then delivering the final blow; a strong kick to the testicles.
 
Marcus winced in pain as he watched the kick. It might have been a fake, but Marcus could still almost feel the pain. “Was that really necessary?” Marcus felt uncomfortable now. Leilah shrugged before she started to walk his way. She'd taken a grand total of three steps when she started to glow. “She's evolving.” Marcus said as everyone gathered around, his copies melting away. When the evolution ended Marcus noted that there wasn't much change to Leilah's apperance.
 
“Leilah evolve to Skunkette!” Leilah twisted to look behind her and her eyes nearly bulged out of her head. She'd always had the nicer ass of anyone in the harem, but now it was just large. She looked down at her own chest and smiled happily as she cupped her breasts. She grinned as she poked Mika's, “Leilah bigger now!” Leilah wrapped her large tail around Marcus. “Like?”
 
Marcus had to nod. There wasn't much change. Leilah was slightly taller than she was before her evolution, but she had a bigger ass, chest, and her hair was now a lime green. It was easy to tell the changes to her body. Neither her nor Anahi wanted any clothing when he offered it to them. “Maybe we'd better get you at least a bra.” Leilah shook her head.
 
“No.”
 
“Why not?”
 
“Get in way.”
 
“Get in the way of what?”
 
“Get in way,” Leilah took her hand and drew it up the front of Marcus's pants, “Not in way.” She grabbed Marcus's hands and placed them on her larger, furred posterior. “Okay?”
 
Marcus laughed. Leilah was easily the one of his girls that never wanted their taming sessions to end. “I get it, I get it. You know what this means don't you?” He smiled as Leilah tilted her head. “We all get to 'congratulate' you tonight.” Leilah let out a small squeal as she was picked up and tossed over Marcus's shoulder. “To the 'Center!”
