Lighting crashed twice illuminating the small clearing in the down pour for the two humanoid shapes causing them both to flinch and hold tighter to each other. The brief moment of false daylight showed them how truly screwed the people in this place were less then a week ago. Torn up ground with patches of it melted into a glass like sludge, limbs of both downed trees and unlucky poke girls were spread out the clearing slowly sinking in the mud that the downpour was causing. Finally, in the middle of this horror show of violence past was a massive shape, mangled but still recognizable as to what is was. It’s black chitinous armor marred by blasts and claw marks with large holes throughout the abdomen of the dead Widow. The head of the beast still held its mouth open as if it was still screaming its rage at the attackers that fell the horror. Huddled against this corpse were a tiny boy and a larger girl, both purposely trying not to look up at the monsters dead eyes.
 
The boy was wrapped the bigger girl’s arms tightly and was cradling a little red and white ball in his hands. He was short at about 4’ 9” and showed blatant signs of way too much cat girl in his blood with a tail softly flicking its tip curled around the waist of the girl behind him and the feline ears where his normal ears should have been poking out of his short cropped brown hair. His eyes glowed slightly green with cat like slits. The girl holding on to him was much more exotic in her appearance. Long ears with furry tuffs at the end of them graced a feline face with a glittering gem in the middle of her forehead. Both were covered lightly in a black tarp of some kind to avoid the worse of the elements drenching the field.
 
“Allen?” the girl whispered.
 
After a moment of no response she blew into his ear making it fold back against his head in agitation. He turned to the Cabbit and looked up with a hiss.
 
“Don’t get catty with me Allen! You asked me to tell you when they showed up so I am.” she huffed in a whispered hiss.
 
Both of his ears when flat in shame about what he had done. “Sorry Sarah. I was lost in thought.” he replied quietly, “Where are they at?”
 
“No worries, I would be the same way if I wasn’t keeping most of my attention on playing look out. Look over there” He turned his eyes slowly toward where Sarah was indicating with a flick of an ear.
 
At the edge of the clearing was a Hound poke girl sniffing around the edge of the carnage. She did not look like she wanted to be there. Behind her were small beams of light from other searchers in the forest. After a few minutes, the hound snorted and turned back into the woods, never fully walking in the clearing and not noticing the two people under the black tarp.
 
“Did she miss our scent?” he asked.
 
“Nope” she grinned, “She found it alright. That was the point where we entered this clearing. After I made sure you and Chris were set up I circled back and ran another mile or so in the woods then backtracked my way back here. She and her friends should be headed toward a river not far from here.”
 
“But why not notice the trail leading up to this Widow we are hiding under?”
 
“Hyper venom still covers this field with the smell of death. Plus the rotting bodies mask most smells from even a hound’s nose.”
 
He blinked and murmured “and I thought I was the only one that knew it stank here.”
 
She smiled gently at him. “Your nose is a lot better than most humans Allen. Most people wouldn’t even notice the smell with all this rain. I thought with your father, being the Researcher type that he is, would have told you about areas where a widow dies and the surrounding environment.”
 
Allen gave a snort of disgust, “My “father” barely treated me like I was alive. You don’t grow up in Viridick with any form of Pokeboy Gene, let alone a level 3, and get treated like a human.”
 
Sarah rested her head on his and held him closer. “We aren’t there anymore Allen. Don’t dwell on it. Get some sleep and we can try and make it out of the League right after sunrise.”
 
Allen pushed his head back against her chest and gave a tired sigh. “You’re right; wake me when you see the sun rise. I’ll ball you so you can get a few hours sleep after I start moving.” As his eyes closed he thought back to how he ended up on the run from the family that raised him for most of his life.
 
 
-----
 
 
 
Allen got off the train and took a deep breath of the air. Sure, Viridick wasn’t the best town in Indigo, but compared to the cold that seemed to creep under the thickest of coats in the Ruby League he could deal with the pricks of this place.
 
 He screwed his ball cap on a bit tighter and made sure his sunglasses were in place and headed out of the station. With luck he could get a ride out to the city limits before night fall. He needed to get the last of his stuff and have his father agree to sponsor him as a Watcher hopefully by morning. The sooner he was done with that the sooner he could leave this place and avoid having to deal with his family.
 
Coming up to the curb outside the station he could see the line of modified prewar taxis as people lined up to get in them. Sighing at the sight of the line to get a cab was he pulled out Sarah’s ball and called her out. The Cabbit appeared in a flash of red light and looked around curiously. Standing about a half a foot above him she was wearing a pair of acid washed jean cutoffs and a white shirt with a large carrot on it with the print “Got Carrot?” imposed over the image. With the contrasting color of her almost black fur she made quite the sight at the station. Her digitigrade legs patted the ground with her bare feet to test the temperature of the ground.
 
“Hello… Master” she said quietly, “are we in Viridick?”
 
“Yes, but getting a cab home right now would take us a bit longer then I like so I thought we could grab some lunch and wait for the crowd from our train to clear out a bit.”
 
She nodded her head knowingly after looking at the line then pulled out a crumpled map from her jean pocket. “Well then, let’s see what we have for choices Master.”
 
He peeked over her arm at the map. “When did you pick up a Viridick tourist map? This would be the last place I would think anyone would go for vacation.”
 
“Cabbit secret, Master.” She grinned at him. Turning back to the map she drew her finger up the road a bit to a marker. “Here we go. Poke Hop Burgers, 50’s style diner specializing in burgers and shakes. It is popular with Tamers because of the open pokegirl policy allowing one girl to stay out and the varied menu for different pokegirl types.”
 
Allen frowned at the part about Tamers. For the last few years in college he had his fill of Ruby Tamers and figured out that the mentality most Tamers had never really changed from League to League. But, anyplace in Viridick that served Pokegirls was a rare sight and he really didn’t feel up to hanging around this pit by himself.
 
“Alright, let’s head there then. Stay behind me as we walk, people here can get a bit crazy if they see pokegirls show any sort of independence here.” She bobbed her head in agreement and they headed down the street.
 
The diner did it’s best to look the part of a 50’s burger joint with aluminum siding and bright colors throughout the dining room. The Ingenue that showed them both to a booth even had a poodle skirt outfit. As she headed away from them after giving them both a menu Allen couldn’t help but notice how much attention the girl was giving to the other patrons of the restaurant. Couldn’t really fault the girl for not wanting to give him the same show she was giving the other people. His height had a way of putting most girls off.
 
“Master! They have carrot salad!” Sarah had bright eyes looking over the menu. “Oooo carrot juice as well!”
 
“Pick only one Sarah, my back gets sore thinking about the last time you did your OD thing on carrots.”
 
Her ears dropped low. “I think I’ve apologized for that taming session for over a year now.”
 
“Yes, you have.” He smiled.
 
After giving their order to the Ingenue Sarah turned to Allen, “Any plans on how you’re going to get you father to endorse you?” she asked.
 
“Yup. I’m just going to remind him that Watchers wander almost more than tamers do. Not having me show up to embarrass the family should be incentive enough for him.” He shrugged, “Hell, if I could do it without his help I would have never come back after graduation.”
 
“You aren’t the only one that didn’t want to be back here. Only time I can remember your father being nice to me was when he gave you that Cat E-metal to evolve me.“ She shuddered remembering her short time as a threshold Bunnygirl. Going from the top of her class in high school to clumsy ditz was a nightmare for her. Might have explained why her fur as a Bunnygirl was a black instead of the usual white. Evolving to a Cabbit gave back all that she had lost and humbled her from the arrogant girl she was in school.
 
Allen snickered watching his Cabbit squeal as the carrot salad was placed in front of her.   “I still don’t understand how you can eat that? The carrots I can understand, but the over sweet dressing and mass of raisins just turn my stomach.”
 
“It’s not my fault you lack the refined taste buds I have.” She huffed.
 
Taking a bite out of his burger he tried not to focus on the orange and black dotted mass of vegetables across from him. Just as he was starting to enjoy his food a hand smacked down in the middle of the table shaking the dishes loudly. A quick free hand saved his soda from falling over in his lap.
 
“What the fu-“ he started.
 
“Where were you for the all Tamer call, kid!?” bellowed the large blond man standing over him and his Cabbit.
 
“Tamer call? But we-“ he tried to explain but being cut off again.
 
“Bah, doesn’t matter anyway seeing as the Widow was killed. I challenge ya kid. Salvage for your girl.   Meet me outside.” With that said he turned on his heel and stomped out of the diner like he owned the place.
 
Sarah blinked twice and turned back to Allen. “Um, what do you think he will do when he finds out he challenged a pet owner?”
 
Going back to eating his burger Allen shrugged. “I’m going to guess he will be pretty pissed. It will teach him to ask for a challenge next time instead of making a large ass of himself.”
 
She giggled. “Guess this means we can take our time eating and let blondie stew a bit outside?”
 
“Hell, I’m ordering dessert.” He replied calmly.
 
-----
 
When they finished eating almost a hour later blondie was still outside. There was a small crowd gathered around him as he ran a Peekabu wearing a ragged loincloth around the edge of the crowd keeping a space clear in the street for his battle that he planned. Allen pinched his nose in annoyance and grabbed Sarah’s hand.
 
“Let’s go before the moron sees us. My brain is not ready to deal with his level of stupidity.”
 
She nodded in reply. “I understand, still, what is he doing to his Peekabu?”
 
“Warm-ups it looks like.”
 
“Hey, kid! Where the hell do you think you’re going? You can’t turn down a challenge!” Blondie bellowed at the couple.
 
Allen growled as he slowly turned around. The crowd had parted some giving him a good view of the guy with his panting Peekabu next to him. A hand on his shoulder from Sarah reminded him to keep cool.
 
“You are perfectly right sir. A Tamer can’t turn down the challenge from another Tamer. So as a Pet Owner I respectfully can tell you to “screw off” and walk away.” With that Allen turned back around and started back toward the station to find a cab. Blondie stood in the middle of the street with his mouth open, gaping like a fish. A few moments later someone started to giggle in the crowd which quickly infected the rest of the people around the Tamer. Blondie turned red, recalled his Peekabu who was looking at her master a bit scared and stormed off.
 
“I wonder why he wanted to challenge you for me Master. It’s not like Cabbits are needed for a Tamer harem.”
 
“Eh, he saw you and started to think with is balls instead of his brains. I think he was hoping for an easy fight to get some quick ass.”
 
Sarah bumped him lightly with her hip, “Nice to know that I can still attract complete jerks to me.” She smirked.
 
“Yah, and this jerk is going to make sure he is the only one you keep.”
 
-----
 
“Two days? Why do I have to wait two days?” Allen yelled as he slammed both is palms on the kitchen table.
 
His mom, Yorio, was right there grabbing empty coffee cups as they bounced in the air. Some wouldn’t think a Shadowcat would make a good domestic, but with family gatherings like this having enhanced reflexes and speed was a god send for the dishes.
 
“I just recently got a hold of a rare steel type Pokegirl, boy. She is still suffering from her recent evolution so I’m not leaving the house until that is stable and I can complete all my readings on her.” Johnathan Trison was a tall but thin man in his late forties. His white lab coat hung off him like a personal tent. To his right was Greg, Allen’s older half brother and to his right was Greg’s mother and Johnathan’s human wife, Pamila.
 
“Great… guess this means some quality family time then.” Allen muttered.
 
“Don’t worry boy. Although we don’t have any rooms set up right now for guests there is an open room in the research girls barracks. It will give you more time to sort through your stuff you left here when you headed out on your mad idea of college.”
 
“I’m surprised they let you go to that university brother. I figured you would have been Love Balled on the way there.” Greg sneered at him.
 
Allen flipped off his older brother. “Not all places think like a Neanderthal like you do Greg. Why don’t you shut up and keep figuring out how much longer you can mooch off dad’s government grants.”
 
Johnathan’s hand grabbed Greg’s shoulder before the older boy could try and leap across the table at his brother. “No fighting in the house boys.” He snapped his fingers and a Brass stepped into the room. “Marge, take Allen to the room we have set up for him in the research barracks.” The Brass nodded and motioned Allen to follow her.
 
Not wanting to deal with his family any longer then needed Allen stood up and followed Marge out of the room giving the people then the kitchen one last glare as he walked out. Marge looked down at him as he walked next to her. “It’s best if you just accept their hospitality for now, young Master. You know how your father gets when he has something new to work on.”
 
“I know, although I feel sorry for whatever girl caught his interest. Father was never one to be gentle to his test subjects.” Long nights talking with the girls in the research building barracks painted a pretty grim picture of his father as a researcher. One of the reasons his facility worked so well here in Viridick. The impassive nature of his father on his finds made him well respected by the current city council.
 
Marge had been with the family for about 6 years now and like most of the girls here had better dealings with Allen then with most of the other family members.   She was also the only girl his human mother hadn’t ended up “breaking” as she put it. Pamila treated most of the girls working the house as furniture or just ignored them, unless something went wrong. They had lost a few different house girls from her impulsive problem of beating them so bad a Level 5 was the only way to make the girl useful anymore. Marge though was loyal to a fault and knew one of the key ways to avoid Pamila’s temper tantrums, she kept her mouth shut and stood like a statue most of the day.
 
“I see Greg still hasn’t passed his Tamer exam. What happen this time?” Allen still marveled at how is brother failed an exam which you basically needed to know how to spell your name to pass. But seeing as he only got out of School at 23, taking 4 years to pass the exam was on par for him.
 
Marge tipped her head to the side and looked at the wall. “No, he passed the written exam, but with the new rules of the league about having all Tamers pass a Psyche evaluation he failed miserable. It seems having killed 3 of his pets can do that when an Alaka-wham finds it in your memory.”
 
Allen turned at her with a shocked look on his face. “Three?! How in the hell does he still have a Pet Owner license?”
 
“He doesn’t. After your father was force to pay his fines the third time the league pulled his license. He now helps out with Johnathan’s research.”
 
“I thought father didn’t like having assistance in his labs. I’ve never seen inside the damn place.”
 
“Most of the Research girls haven't seen the main lab as well. Johnathan just says “Top Secret League stuff” when anyone asks about it.” Marge replied.
 
“So, what about my sisters? Pamila still hiding them away from the rest of the world to avoid the big bad Threshold?”
 
“Shala left about a month ago. She was heading to the Edo league last I heard. There was some top executive of a lost tech retrieval company that courted her to marry him. Seems he was interested in having pure blood children to pass on his business to. Christina ran away.”
 
“Chris ran away? She was a bit of the rebel type but I didn’t peg her to do that. What happen?” Out of all his siblings Allen liked Christina the best. Greg and his friends would find new ways to make his life hell. Shala would ignore him and avoid any room he was in until someone cleaned it. But, Christina was his little baby sister. She would be the one to crawl into his bed when she had a nightmare. He taught her how to fight when kids in her elementary school picked on her and she would play nurse to him when his blood gifts left him bed ridden for a few weeks when he went through puberty. If age was right she should be just shy of 15 now and in no shape to run away from home.
 
“No one knows what caused it. All that was in her room was a note saying how she didn’t want to deal with the stress anymore in the house.” Marge said in a worried tone.
 
“How long ago did this happen? And why didn’t anyone contact me?” Allen growled out.
 
“About 6 months ago. The mistress said you were informed by letter.”
 
Allen fumed silently about that. Of course it would be by letter. Feral pokegirls made that one of the most unreliable ways to contact people. Leave it up to Pamila to avoid anything that would make his life easier… like e-mail or a phone call.
 
Triston Pokegirl Research Center lay on about 2 acres of land with three main buildings. The first was the main house. Left over from pre war days it was a four bedroom, two story farm house. Behind the house was the main lab and barracks. On average there was about 15 different girls in the barracks. Attached to the barracks was the main lab. Being one of the largest buildings on the land it was the first thing you saw when coming up on the Center. Father liked to test combat with his girls so most of the building was made up of a training room and league standard arena.
 
Marge pressed a button next to the door leading to the barracks. A crackling female voice asked “Yes?”
 
“The young master his here and I’m showing him to his room.”
 
There was a short pause. “Oh, Allen is back? One sec, let me get the door!”
 
Allen winced when he heard that. When the girls in the barracks got overly excited it means father hasn’t had anyone tame them on a regular basis. He made a mental note to lock his room up so he and Sarah wouldn’t be assaulted in the night. That new project must be big if his father forgot about the other girls for any period of time.
 
The lock on the door clicked and opened to a blond girl of about 6’. She was wearing a mini skirt and a tied on tube top over her camo colored skin and had a big smile on her face. The metal ring the left side of her head marked her quickly as a Bombshell. Her red eyes widen when she looked down at Allen.
 
“Hiya Trish-“ he stared to say when she swept up and lifted him in the air in a spin. Her arms wrapped around his head mooching him tightly between her breasts.
“It is Allen! Girls, Allen is back and is staying with us!” she cried into the building.
The entryway was quickly filled with different girls all of them staring at what looked like a little boy being smothered by their hyper explosive bunk mate. After about a minute one of the girls oozed forward. 
 
“Trishie, he can’t breathe.” She calmly informed the Bombshell in a liquid metallic voice.
 
She stared at the Metal Slimette Princess for a moment before a shocked look crosses her face. She quickly pulled Allen out of her mounts of fleshy suffocation and brought the boy up to her face. Seeing his shocked look and somewhat dazed expression she quickly set him down.
 
“Sorry Allen.” She replied sheepishly.
 
Getting his bearings Allen pulled off his sunglasses and hat. “Don’t worry about it Trishie. It’s good to see you too.”
 
The Slimette that had saved him slide up next to him and a soft hand reached out to rub his right ear making him flick it in annoyance.
 
“You’re right Trishie, he is interesting. Will he be taming us?”
 
Trishie shook her head. “Not unless he wants too. Master gave strict orders. Plus you have plenty of food in all the girls here, Goe.”
 
Goe’s ever present smile didn’t waver but her eyes dropped some. “I know, but men have a different flavor.” She swooshed around to Allen’s front. “If you feel up to it I’m in room 6.” She whispered through her hand into his ear. She then slid away weaving through the girls that stared at her in shock.
 
Allen blinked twice at the retreating figure and scanned the girls gathered around him.
 
“Trishie? Where are all the old girls? Only one I recognize is you.”
 
Trishie looked sad for a moment. “Master has been cycling through more girls then normal over the last few years. Most wear out in a few months and are sold to ranches or tamers to give them a break.”
 
Marge nudged him when she saw his sad look. “Young master worries too much about us a bad habit in this league. Come on, I’ll show you your room. I’m sure Sarah will want to be out of her ball soon.”
 
Allen nodded and stepped in line with the two other girls as they led him to his room.
 
-----
 
“Damn… that felt like being a KATTLE in the middle of a pack of feral Lupina.”
 
The click of the door lock gave him little comfort though. Having a barracks filled with horny bio weapons that could easily tear the door off its hinges means jack shit for a lock. Still, it was a small comfort. A quick look around the place showed him he was in one of the better rooms. A small double bed with a dresser and a desk graced the room. He took off his pack and tossed it at the foot of the bed then put his hat and coat on the desk chair after pulling Sarah’s ball out of the pocket.
 
With a flash of red light Sarah was standing before him looking around. “This isn’t your room Allen.” She frowned as she looked out the window over the desk.
 
“Yup, father stuck us in the research barracks.  Even better, It looks like he hasn’t tamed the girls here for about a week.”
 
Sarah walked slow up to him on the bed and straddled his waist. “Sucks for them then, cus I’m not sharing.” She leaned down to his face and drew him in to a steamy kiss.
 
Allen felt her tongue working into his mouth and ran his hands up her back pulling on her shirt. She reluctantly pulled away from the kiss drawing some of his lower lip back with her teeth before letting go so the shirt could come off her head. With her breasts now bare to him Allen lowered his head and sucked one of her nipples into his mouth.
 
She hissed as he nibbled on her aching nipple and ground her quickly moistening crotch over his growing erection. Her claws dug into his shirt and with a loud rip he was now as topless as she was.
 
“That is your one shirt a week limit, Sarah.” He grinned looking up at her. One of his hands was currently full with her left tit and the other was working its way down her cut offs to cup her ass. The next few minutes were spent exploring each other’s bodies with rushed hands until she pushed him back against the bed.
 
“I’ll try and avoid doing the same to your jeans.” She grinned as she unbuttoned his pants and pulled them off his legs along with his boxers. Allen lifted up his ass and let his tail swish into a more comfortable position under him as she kicked off her shorts and panties.
She dragged her breasts across his legs allowing the fur on them to tickle his inner thighs and place her hand gently against his erection. Inhaling his scent she gave the shaft a long lick and cupped his balls with her other hand. His hands slid over her ears lightly and he brushed the tuffs of hair on the tips making her purr as she took his head in her mouth.
With one hand jerking his shaft she took the one that was tugging on his balls lightly and slid it under his ass. With slow determination she guided that hand to just above his tail and gave the base of it a firm rub. Allen gasped and raised his hips in the air pushing the rest of his dick into her eager mouth as she happily sucked him back into her throat and started a swallowing motion.
 
That did it for him. With a gasp he emptied himself down her throat as she purred from the sensation of the warm liquid spurting down to its final destination of her belly. She kept sucking the last of his seed from his shaft and gave the head a kiss as she sat back up. Allen looked up at her with glazed eyes as she crawled up toward his head, the heat of her sex pulsing in time with her breathing.
 
His hands rose up and grab hold of both of her ass cheeks drawing her down to his mouth. Long practice with him had taught the Cabbit that Allen had a bit of an oral fetish. Nothing got him going again more than his head between a girl’s legs. He ran a tongue across the length of her sex and watched as it parted under the ministration. Pulling her cheeks farther apart he plunged his tongue into her depths. Her back arched back and her head came to rested between his knees as she reached behind her and slowly stroked his cock in her hands.
 
Allen worked his lips up to the little button of nerves and sucked it into his mouth. Sarah started a low keening sound from the back of her throat. Drawing her clit between his teeth Allen flicked it quickly with his tongue. Running his thumb down the crack of her ass he pressed it firmly against her rosebud and felt her thighs clench around his head as she climaxed in a series of jerks. He pulled himself out from under her and spread her legs open and pressed against her sex working his head inside.
 
He lifted her head and kissed her hard as he thrust inside her. She gasps into his mouth and grabbed fist full of sheets in her hands. Pressing his head against her gem on her forehead he started out a slow rhythm as he looked into her eyes. After about 15 minutes of this Allen smiled at the frustration in Sarah’s eyes. Yes, this pace was nice and calming but it would never bring Sarah to her peak. The little sadist streak he had in him would only change it when she started to beg.
 
“Allen…. Please…”
 
“Please what?” he whispered in her ear.
 
“Faster, I want it faster!” she looked pleading into his eyes.
 
Running his tongue down the edge of her ear he replied back almost too quiet to hear. “Tell me what you want faster. I want to hear you scream it.”
 
“Fuck me! “she cried out.
 
Grinning he reached back and pulled her legs to his shoulders pushing him deeper inside her. With a quick thrust he felt his head bump against her cervix. Withdrawing fully out of her he quicky shoved it back in building a fast pace. Sarah stared letting out quick gasps of ‘mew’ with each slap of Allen’s hips bouncing on her ass.
 
Sweat dripped off his brow from his exertions as he felt her tighten up when she hit her peak. Her scream echoed off the walls of the room and caused the window to rattle from the force of it. A few more minutes more of thrusting for him and soon he was roaring as he poured his seed deep inside her. Pulling out of her he laid down next to her and pulled her still shivering body against him, his tail draping over her waist as she snuggled against him purring.
 
“I have some plans later tonight so get a few hours sleep Sarah.” He kissed her on her head as she nodded and drifted off. He pulled his watch up to his face and set the alarm on it to wake him in 4 hours. It should be about 2 am in the morning then so he should have plenty of time to do what he had planned. After that he let the soft breathing of Sarah drag him down into sleep.
 
-----
 
Sarah woke up to the sounds of Allen getting cloths on in the dark. She peeked over at him and rolled her eyes. Damn if he wasn’t fun in bed, but his little “Ninja Catboy” thing could get out of hand sometimes.
 
“You know you look like a dork, right?” She waved at his black cloth mask he had thrown over his face.
 
“What? I can’t have anyone spotting me when I go out there. The mask is essential for spy work. It’s been used for ages.” He crossed his arms over his chest and nodded to himself to confirm his statement. The black turtle neck and black jeans completed the outfit. Having no shoes kept his motions silent for what he was going to do.
 
She sat up and looked at him plainly. “I’m pretty sure it does work… for anyone that isn’t short with fuzzy cat ears and a tail.”
 
He stopped nodding his head and looked up at her in shock. With a sigh he unwrapped the scarf from around his head. “Trust you to attack my ideas with common sense.” He growled.
 
She stood up and wrapped her arms around him, cradling his head lightly between her bare breasts. “So, what’s the story? Why are you off in the middle of the night to spy on your own family? And do you need any help?”
 
Pulling her a bit closer to himself he thought about how he should say this. “Marge said that Chris ran away. Something isn’t right with how that sounds and I didn’t get any word about it happening until now. I remember where Chris kept her diary in her room. She hid it so Greg or Shala wouldn’t end up reading it. But I have a feeling sticking me out here in the barracks was a way for them to control how much time I spend in the house and keep an eye on me. I’m going to sneak in and grab that book. It might have a clue on what happen to her.”
 
Sarah blinked then walked over to his backpack.  “Then I’m coming with you. You’re going to need someone to keep an eye out for you.” She slipped a pair of black spandex and a matching loose halter top. They were her training clothes, but would work well for an impromptu night ops.
 
 Grabbing some rope from the pack and slinging it over his shoulder he turned to Sarah. “I was hoping you would say that. Let’s go find out what the hell happen to my little sis.”
Sneaking out the window and running across the dark training field outside the barracks was easy enough. They did have a minor problem when it turned out Greg was still up watching something on his Vid screen with the curtains closed. Seeing as Chris’s old room was next to his room and one story up had both the man and his cabbit holding their breath not to disturb him.
 
Allen looked at the wall over the window and motioned for Sarah to lift him up. Grabbing hold of the window stile he pulled himself to a stand on it and flattened himself against the window. Testing the window he found it opened easily. He gave Sarah a wave and ducked inside quietly.
 
One good thing about having way too much feline pokegirl DNA in his system was his night vision. The room might as well been in the middle of the afternoon for him. Looks like his parents were very accepting to Chris leaving, seeing as all her stuff was packed into boxes and her bedroom furniture was all removed. Was a bit strange because he heard that Shala’s room was unchanged ever sense she left for Edo. Just in case she came to visit she would have a room his human mother had said.
 
Frowning he looked at the box labels. They all were to be shipped off to some warehouse in town in about a month. Shrugging he went over to the walk-in closet. Took a few minutes but he found the loose board in the corner of the small room and pulled it up. Under it wrapped in some velvet cloth was his sister’s diary. He thought about opening and reading it now, but the danger involved with getting caught wouldn’t be good. He shoved the small book in the back of his jeans and headed back toward the window. Looking down he waved to Sarah and lowered himself down into her arms.
 
Giving her a nod and pointing for them to get back to his room they left and quickly as they could. Once both of them were safe in the room he pulled out Chris’s diary. “See, easy as can be. Let’s grab a shower and get some sleep. Tomorrow I’ll spend some time after our workout to see what happen to make Chris run away.”
 
Sarah stripped off her clothes and grabbed some towels out of the closet. “Good idea, plus we avoid the girls if we shower this early. Would have been nice if your dad gave us a room that had it’s own bathroom.” She huffed.
 
Snickering, Allen grabbed a towel from his Cabbit and stripped down. “Yes, but the barracks have lots of room for more than just getting clean.” He brushed his hand from her fuzzy tail up to her mid back slowly as he passed by her to open the door. “I scrub your back, you scrub mine?” he asked.
 
Sarah blushed through her fur and pushed him out the door quickly.
 
-----
 
Trishie watched the actions in the training field outside the barracks with wide eyes. Her morning had started out crappy after having to hear Allen taming his Cabbit three times during the night. Not having a male visit the barracks in about a week was taking its toll on the girls and last night was spent with eyes open or girls heading to other roommates beds to seek any type of relief from the noises those two were making.
 
Now to add insult to injury, the cause of all that frustration was sparing with his Cabbit at 7am in the morning! He was currently standing in the middle of the field surrounded by four different Sarah’s. Trishie did marvel at the girl’s control. Most pokegirls that used Double Team could only produce one copy. The standoff ended suddenly when Allen quickly rolled to the side and kicked out from his prone position on the ground catching Sarah in the ribs as she Phased up from the ground beneath him trying to hit with a double claw strike.
Sarah flipped back from the force of the kick and landed on all fours. Around them the other four copies of her shimmered into nothing as she lost her concentration on them. Hunching down she did a full leap at Allen. He crossed his arms as she flipped in the air bringing down her foot toward his head. When the impact didn’t come his eyes widened. Sarah had pulled her drop kick strike at the last moment curling both of her feet together and pushing out in a makeshift drop kick. Adding in to the power she had in her hind legs sent Allen tumbling on the ground outside the training field.
 
Sarah flipped up from the ground and turned back to where Allen sat with a dazed look on the grass. “20 minutes.” She smirked at him.
 
Trishie blinked. She hadn’t been keeping track of the time until Sarah announced it. That is how long it took for the Cabbit to land a blow on Allen. Whistling softly she walked toward the two. “You guys do this every morning?”
 
Brushing himself off Allen stood up. “Well, every morning we get a chance to. So far my record is 32 minutes. Plus, it’s a good way to end our morning workout.”
 
“You mean I just caught the end of what you two were doing out here?” She stared at the two of them as if they had both sprouted second heads.
 
“Yup, you can’t spar like that without warming up first. We’ve been out here since sunrise.” Sarah grinned at the bombshell.
 
Shaking her head Trishie motioned them back to the barracks. “Good thing you’re going to become a watcher, Allen. No Tamer would ever understand your morning routine.   The girls have breakfast ready if you both want to join us.”
 
Wrapping his arm around his cabbit Allen followed the girl inside.
 
-----
 
“She went through Threshold.”
 
“What?!” Sarah gasped sitting up from the bed. Allen was at the desk with Christina’s diary. She walked over behind him to look at the page he was reading. “She didn’t run away like that? What if she damaged the change or ended up as food for some feral!”
Allen frowned. “Nope, look here at this entry.”
 
August 24, 309 A.S.

I told mother what was going on. I’ve never seen her so angry at me in my life. She yelled about how I was bringing shame to her family and to stop changing now. How do I do that?! I didn’t ask for this to happen to me! Brother stopped by my room as I lay in bed suffering from another attack of pains. He had the same look mother did, no pity, no love only scorn for what I was becoming. After he left mother came by and locked my door from the outside saying it was for the safety of the household.
 
“Most Threshold cases aren’t dangerous to the people around them.” Allen shook his head. “Looks like they were preventing her from telling friends about what was going on.”
 
“So, if she is a pokegirl now, what did they do to her?”
 
“Haven’t got that far yet, Sarah.” He kissed her hand on his shoulder in thanks for her support.
 
August 27, 309 A.S.

I haven’t seen any of the household girls in the last few days, only father, mother and my brother. This is beginning to worry me. Most of my body pains are gone now so I’m going to try and leave the room when I get the chance. I don’t like the way brother is looking at me when it’s his turn to keep an eye on me. If I can get to town before they notice me gone I can have the pokecenter put me in a kit ball and send me to my brother Allen. I know he would be able to find me a good Tamer or Pet owner when I come of age.

August 29, 309 A.S.

It’s over. I can’t leave. Greg came last night for his watch after my Threshold was finished and… did things to me. He balled me and kept me like that for most of the day. I was let out a few minutes ago so I could help pack my stuff. This is my last entry. I’m sorry Allen. Father and Mother said that it’s better if they keep me hidden so the rest of the town doesn’t know about what happen. I’ll leave my journal here so you can find it. Promise me if you read this you will try and find a way to help me. Your loving sister, Chris.
 
Sarah felt Allen shaking with anger. “Sarah, start packing our things. I need to head to the main house for a few minutes.”
 
She turned the chair around and looked him in the eye. “Don’t do anything rash! We have to think this out and figure out where she without putting your family on guard. If you go marching up to the house now kicking in doors and busting heads with your entire shorty wrath we will never find Chris.”
 
Sighing he lowered his head. After a few minutes he was breathing normal again. “Ok, we got about a day left before father will give me the Watcher’s endorsement. But if this is as bad as I think it is I don’t think he will be giving that to me by the time we are done.”
 
“First, let’s plan for the worst case. Go raid the barracks kitchen. Use Phase and get enough food for three people for the next 10 days. There is a few pokepacks in the storage room I remember seeing a few years ago. Grab one of them to load up with. I know how you work around people so I don’t expect many of the girls to ask what you’re doing. Meet me back here by dinner.”
 
“What are you going to do Allen?”
 
He looked out the window toward the main house and whispered, “Talk to my mom.”
 
-----
 
Yorio just finished putting the dishes from lunch into the washer when two hands covered her eyes from behind. She paused in her humming she did when she was doing the household chores and disappeared. Allen dropped his arms and leaped up on the kitchen counter doing a 180 spin in the air when he landed. The tapping on his head made him look up into the smiling face of his mom. “Still too young to catch me off guard, son.” She said as she hung from the lamp over the sink.
 
She let her feet go and flipped over to land in front of him. “Yah, but you can’t fault me for trying it one last time mom.” He smiled at her sadly.
 
Shaking her head she drew him into a tight hug. “You found out something bad here and won’t be coming back I’m guessing?”
 
“Yup, me and Sarah might not be here tomorrow morning. I wish I could tell you more, but if it is what I think, the less you know the better off you will be.”
 
Pulling away at arms length she looked into his eyes. “Wait here. I have something I need to give you then.”
 
Yorio walked quickly over to the basement door and headed down the steps. A few minutes later she came back up and handed Allen a wrapped bundle. He gave her a curious look as he unwrapped it.
 
“When I was traveling with your father this was the knife I used. Seeing as the only knife I’m using now days is a chef’s knife it is now yours.” The foot long knife was a single edge combat knife with a serrated back edge and a full knuckle guard that looked like brass knuckles with four spikes sticking out of it. “It is a Trench Knife. They were used in the First World War. It served me well for many years and I’m sure it will do the same for you.”
Putting the knife back in its sheath he hugged his mom. “I’m sorry I have to leave like this but when you get the full story you will understand.”
 
She kissed his forehead and nodded. “I know. Now go before the rest of the house figures out I’m not working.” She replied with smirk.
 
-----
 
“Ok, two weeks food for one human cat boy person, two week supply of carrots for one sexy Cabbit with a catboy fetish, and two weeks extra food for a damsel in distress. I also got us a PPHU that was left in storage and a few potions. I’ve placed all our other gear inside the pokepack as well. We are set to make a run for it once you get your sister. So, what’s the plan?”
 
Allen finished lacing up his boots and looped his new knife around his belt so it rested in the small of his back. “We start with the first person mentioned by Chris in the diary. It’s time me and Greg did a bit of brotherly bonding.” Sarah gave a nervous giggle at the grim face Allen flashed when he said that.
 
Just then there was a knock on their door. Allen motioned for Sarah to put the pack in the closet as he untucked his shirt to hide the knife from view. Sarah landed on the bed just in time as he opened the door. A nervous looking Trishie was standing there with her head low and her red eyes peeking from under her bangs.
 
Not really understanding why she was here Allen cleared his throat. “Anything wrong, Trishie?”
 
She sighed and held out a pokeball. “I know you both are about to do something really dangerous tonight. Me and her talked it over and you will need her to get where you have to go. She knows something but won’t talk about it.”
 
Allen got a grim look on his face. “Trishie, if you get caught helping us then I can’t save you from what might happen. I gave my mother the same warning. It’s best if you keep your distance from this.”
 
“Oh I am. But Goe isn’t.” With that she pressed the pokeball and called out the Slimette Princess. Goe spent a few moments looking around before turning toward Allen. She bowed to him and Sarah fluidly and took her ball from Trishie.
 
“Thank you Trishie. Go back to your room so you don’t give cause to people thinking you’re part of this.”
 
Trishie nodded and stepped forward giving Goe a drawn out kiss. “Ok, but make sure you come back. Destroy the ball after your done so we can put you back in your old one.” With that said Trishie waved goodbye to everyone in the room and shut the door behind her.
 
Allen and Sarah both stared at Goe before Allen spoke up. “Ok, explain what is going on.”
Goe looked down for a moment then whispered, “I’ve been in the lab. Johnathan is doing something with a new steel type in there but he did something I’ve never seen him do before. He changed all the passwords. None of the girls that had the old ones have been told what the new ones are. Something bad is happening behind those doors. I have the outer labs passwords so I can take you that far.”
 
Sarah got up from the bed and grabbed the pack from the closet. “That’s nice and all, but we weren’t heading for the lab straight off. Allen needs to have a chat with his brother.”
 
“I know which works out. Greg has the inner lab passwords. But I have a feeling this will all end up at the lab.”
 
Shaking his head Allen held out his hand. “Ok, we take you. But I’m not risking you getting spotted with us. Stay in your ball until we get to the lab.”
 
With a nod she handed the ball to him and he recalled her. “Ok, let’s go find out what the hell is going on here.” Allen pocketed Goe’s ball and jumped out the window followed close behind by Sarah.
 
-----
 
“He is doing what?!” Allen’s harsh whisper made Sarah pull her ears against her head.
 
“He is watching some sort of BDSM porn and jerking off… at 12 am at night… yes, it is sorta creepy. Looks like some Shaguar getting whipped on a Saint Andrews Cross. Even more disturbing is the fact I think it is him in the film doing the whipping.”
 
Allen pinched his nose. The both of them had no trouble slipping across the yard and hiding under his brother’s window. The problem was the moron left his curtain open so the world could see him on his bed watching his video. Well, it did make the job a bit easier.
 
“Ok, take this.” He handed Sarah the stun gun from their pack. Against pokegirls it was pretty much just a way to piss them off, but was very effective on humans. “Phase in behind him and nail him in the neck, then open the window for me and we can get to work.”
 
Sarah nodded with an all too happy look and slipped through the wall. There was a quiet yell that was cut short and the window over his head slipped open. Allen walked in to the room and looked at his brother twitching on the bed. Pulling out the rope from inside the pack he and Sarah moved Greg over to the desk chair and tied him down after pulling his pants back up.
 
“You still remember that privacy spell Sarah?”
 
“Yup, but it only gives us 30 minutes. Cover the room?”
 
“Yes. I’ll shut off the video and search for pokeballs that might have Chris in them.”
 
About five minutes later Sarah spoke up in a normal voice. “Ok, done. Is he still out?”
 
“Yup, and I only found these two Ultra Balls in his desk draw. Both empty…” Allen sighed. “I guess I better wake him up.” Sarah winced as Allen slapped his brother twice on each cheek hard enough to split his lip. Greg’s eyes shot open and looked around wildly.
 
“What? Who the f-“Another slap and Greg was staring into Allen’s eyes. “What the hell do you thinking you’re doing Allen!?
 
“Waking you up and asking you what happen to Chris.” He replied in a dead tone. “So, where is she?”
 
“You’re in for a world of shit if you don’t let-“ Whatever threat Greg was about to say was cut off by the scream he made when Allen shoved his moms Trench knife through his right hand and pinned the appendage to the arm of the chair.
 
Greg turned white looking down at his hand and was making a keening noise in the back of his throat. “I found Chris’s diary. She didn’t run away… It wasn’t clear what you did to her, but I know it wasn’t nice. Where is Chris?”
 
Sarah suddenly spoke up from where she was looking at Greg’s bookshelf. “Allen, I think you better see this.” She said in a very quiet voice.
 
Allen patted Greg on the cheek. “I’ll give you a few minutes to think of an answer.” He walked over to the shelf and Sarah handed him three vid disks. On the labels was one word, Sister.
 
“I know we might not want to watch them, but it could give us an answer. “ Allen nodded and placed the first disk in the player.
 
The video started with Greg looking at the screen. “And here we have the star of the show! Everyone say hi to Christina!” The camera panned around the room to a Shaguar held down with heavy restrains on his bed and a ball gag in her mouth. Tears rolled down her face as she turned away from the camera in shame. “aw, don’t be like that Christina. We haven’t even started yet.” Brought into view of the camera and causing it to black the screen for a moment from the light was a red hot branding iron. Allen winced and turned his head as the iron was placed on his sister’s belly.
 
“Stop it Sarah.” She turned off the vid and held Allen as he shuddered from the sight shown to him.
 
There was a low chuckle from Greg in the corner. “Always knew you were too soft, Allen.”
 
There was a savage cry as the knife was wrenched out of his hand and Allen brought it against his throat. “You raped and tortured your own sister. I might have more cat in me then human, but you’re more of a monster then I ever will be.” Turning back to Sarah he pointed at the last disk in the series of the three. “Play that one Sarah, the very end of it so we can figure out if I end up having to killing my brother.”
 
Sarah grimly put the disk in and fast forwarded to the part Allen asked for.   Chris was chained upside down from the ceiling of what looked like the basement of the house. Greg was whipping her across her chest with a flogger that looked to have bits of glass or ceramic on the ends but barely any blood was hitting the ground.
 
Allen frowned at that. Pokegirls were tough, but most of them would still bleed under that treatment. His eyes widen when he noticed that most of his sister’s fur was stripped off or just falling out. There was a bright flash of light suddenly making Greg turn his head and lower his flogger. When the light cleared hanging from the ceiling was a Penance. As the newly evolved pokegirl cried in the chains Greg pulled out her pokeball and recalled her. The video showed him walk over to the wall speaker and say a very damning statement. “I did it father. She is ready now.”
 
Allen turned around out the sound of a crunch from the chair. Sarah had just made Greg a new nose from the looks of it. Allen laid his hand on her fist to stop the next strike.
 
“Explain Greg. Quickly now or you get to find out how mad a Cabbit can get.”
 
Greg spit out some blood on his pants. “I didn’t do anything wrong. The bitch wasn’t even my sister before she threshold. Mom had a bit of an affair with dad’s boss. We both know dad don’t have any Shaguar in his blood line. When mom admitted to it dad gave her to me. I tell ya, she was a lot tougher then those Hamtits I had. They lasted maybe a week then finally just died. But Chris was a dream come true, she kept crying for help for months. Took me telling her that her dad and mom gave her to me to finally break her.” He smirked up at Allen. “Did you know she cried out your name a lot when I was Taming her. Sorta sweet if you think about it. Some white knight you are though showing up like this.”
 
Allen had his eyes closed and was breathing really slow to control his rage. “Where is Chris now?”
 
“Ha! You should know that. Didn’t you hear dad say he had a new steel type he was working with. My money says Chris is in bits and pieces all over the lab floor by now.” Greg’s grin was cut short when Allen grabbed his already mangled hand and broke two of his fingers.
 
“I want the passwords into the lab, if I don’t get them…” The knife appeared at the ready over Greg’s three uninjured fingers. “I’ll start carving off your fingers.”
 
“The id card in my jacket.” He said calmly with a small amount of pain.
 
Sarah cried out as Allen turned around toward the coat at the end of the bed. Allen felt something smack his back lightly and he looked over to Greg. There was a smug look on his face that was quickly replaced by shock. His left hand had worked itself lose enough to reach into his pocket and draw out what he had tossed at Allen. Rolling on the floor to a stop was a black pokeball.
 
“Interesting, I wonder what the league would say about you owning one of these things Greg.” Allen lifted up the Love Ball and eyed it in front of his brother.
 
“What the fuck?! Why didn’t you get balled! You have enough pokegirl in you a normal ball might even work!” Allen smirked at how his brother was freaking out. Reaching into the jacket he pulled out the lab id card.
 
“Do you remember high school Greg? Some friends of yours had younger brothers that would constantly threaten me with Love Balls behind my back? They never did figure out that I got better hearing then most people and knew what they were talking about. A few years back I took some precautions.” Allen pulled down his collar a bit showing a small scar against his collar bone. “Took me a few years but I worked out this number from the anti capture chips that normally go in pokegirls. Most of your Love Balls are just normal Pokeballs with the safety stripped from them that make them not work when human DNA is present in the target. My chip puts out the same anti capture signal but also changes the frequency of the signal in case the Love Ball has been modified to ignore the normal signal.”
 
He looked confused for a moment then it hit him. “You made yourself immune to Love Balls?”
 
Grinning, Allen walked over to him. “Sure did, but I wonder. Are you immune to them?” Allen smacked his brother on the head with the ball and a red flash of light showed him that Greg was not.
 
Sarah gathered up the rope from the chair and wiped up the blood with Greg’s discarded shirt. “You sure that was smart Allen? Turning a pure blood into a Pokegirl can get you executed in this league.”
 
“Poetic justice if you ask me, plus it saves us having to figure out where to dump my brother’s corpse if we killed him.” He placed the ball in the Pokepack along with his brother’s id card. “I’ll switch him to a normal ball and destroy the blasted thing after we get my sister and get the hell out of here.”
 
“What about her being a Penance now? Do you think you can help her?” Sarah looked at Allen with a sad face.
 
“I have to. Even if what Greg said is right about her not being blood related to me I grew up with her. She is as much family as my mom. I think the rest of this fucked up group I grew up with can go flying off a cliff though.”
 
“K, then let’s head over to the lab and have Goe show us around. The privacy spell will run out in a few minutes anyway."
 
-----
 
Goe finished typing in the key pad and the main lab door slid open. “I can’t be seen leading you both here so I’m going to hide. Sarah, I’m borrowing you for a moment.” Goe wrapped her arms around Sarah and flowed over the Cabbit’s body like liquid silver. A few moments later Sarah looked like she was wearing a skin tight shiny grey leotard.   A disembodied voice whispered from Sarah’s shoulder. “Go straight and take the first door on the right. That leads to the security room. We can wipe his tapes there.”
 
Allen ran his hand down Sarah’s side and watched as the suit that was Goe fluttered against the touch. Sarah moaned and pressed herself against the hand. Smokey eyes from his Cabbit caught his. “Do that again and you will be taming me and Goe at the same time.” She kissed him lightly on the lips. “Let’s avoid distractions like that.” She grinned.
 
The security room didn’t have anyone in it so a few quick commands on the key board for the system had all the security cameras shut off and memory wiped over the last two hours. A pseudopod extended from Sarah’s shoulder and pointed farther down the hall. “The observation room to the main lab is down this hall. There should be a door we can use to sneak inside the lab from there.”
 
Walking into the observation room gave a clear view from angled glass windows down into a large lab area. Held in a tank of greenish fluid was a girl wrapped in black leather straps with red skin, spiky hair and razor sharp talon like claws for hands. She seemed to be in a fitful sleep.   Allen ducked down seeing that she wasn’t the only one in the room. His father was there as well talking to an older gentleman wearing a grey suit and holding a cane that looked to be some type of bone in his hand. His long grey hair came down to about his mid back in a loose braid. Next to him was an orange skinned girl wearing a white slip. Allen did a sweeping motion with his hand to his Cabbit. She nodded and got a look of concentration on her face. Ka-D-Bra were pretty powerful for phychic pokegirls so he wasn’t sure if the mental exercise they practiced would work if she was actively searching, but it was worth a shot.
 
The pseudopod from Goe extended and touched the window and another two came out from the suit to connect to Sarah’s and Allen’s ears. Voices crackled to life from the makeshift ear buds.
 
“Johnathan, It’s been almost a week now. You said you could make her follow orders and fight without question but she cowers if someone so much as looks at her. My client wants a finished girl by the end of the month.”
 
“I’m wondering if she might have been broken a bit too much by my son. If all else fails I will try to induce parthenogenesis to see if I can get a generation that is more suitable to our needs.” Johnathan looked up at the girl. “Sad really, she would have made a fine pure blood if she had just resisted Threshold.”
 
Anger flashed through Allen’s mind at that point. If he could do it he would gut that man down there and damn how he would feel later for killing his father. As he thought this the Ka-D-Bra turned her head toward them.
 
“Sir, we have intruders. A male and two pokegirls up in the observation booth.”
 
The gentleman looked up at the window and smiled grimly. “Johnathan, you really must work on your security more. Alice, go up there and kill them.”
 
Allen’s eyes went wide and he rolled back away from the window. Sarah leaped up just as the Ka-D-Bra teleported behind them and shredded the window and floor where they were at. She turned toward Sarah. “Good reflexes.”
 
The Ka-D-Bra narrowed her eyes at Sarah causing the Cabbit to cry out in pain grabbing her head. Allen looked around the floor and grabbed a fallen chair with his left hand tossing it underhanded at the girl hitting her in the back, breaking her concentration on her Physic attack. Sarah fell to her hands and knees in relief as Alice turned toward him.
 
“Stupid kid, you should have run as I was killing your pet here. You might have lived a few more minutes.” Furiture around the room started to lift up all around and angle toward him.
 
“Sarah! Get down to the main lab area. We need more room!” Sarah coughed blood up and nodded as she rolled through the hole the Ka-D-Bra made. Allen flipped over the desk Alice toss at him and stepped back to fall through right after Sarah. Landing in a crouch he saw the older man in the suit looking at him with a raised eyebrow and his father staring at him shocked.
 
As he stood up he drew the knife spun around with a wide slash cutting Alice through her lips and nose as she appeared behind him. “Take her out Sarah. I’ll get Chris.” Three Sarahs leapt over the different control panels in the room and rushed Alice as she gripped her face blinded by blood.
 
Crouching low Allen stalcked toward the man and his father as the later backed away. The gentleman chuckled and stepped forward. “Johnathan, you didn’t tell me your little pokeboy brat was such a spit fire. With skills he has shown here we could have used him. Ahh well, you go run and hide and let me have some fun cleaning up your mess.”
 
Johnathan stared at the man in shock. “Alex! He is one of my projects! I need him alive!”
 
The gentleman never broke eye contact with Allen but a smile slowly spread on his face giving him a kindly old man look. “Really? Then let’s see how successful your work has been then. I promise not to kill him, dismember, but not kill.”
 
From his peripheral vision Allen saw Sarah fly back and hit one of the consoles in the room causing an arch of electricity and the lights to flicker. She stood up weakly and fell face first on the ground. Alice walked over holding one arm against her body as blood dripped from the massive claw wounds on her right side. Sarah lifted in the air as she raised her left arm in motion. “Sir?”
 
“Don’t kill her Alice. The boy wants his sister and needs to get through me to get her. Johnathan, give me the Penance’s pokeball.” Johnathan reached into his lab coat and handed the man a pokeball. “Now, go clear out all the files in the lab. With this boy here I’m sure our operation will be compromised very quickly. I won’t have the league in our business. “
 
Allen was seething. If he moved, Sarah wouldn’t stand a chance.   The only option he could see was to play the gramps game. “Get on with is old man. I need to be out of this town before morning with my sister and you’re wasting my time.”
 
“Ah, the young, always rushed. The rules are simple boy. Hit me once and I give you your sister and your cabbit alive. Don’t hit me and you die. Johnathan’s experiment or not, I don’t take kindly to rash fools interrupting my organization.” 
 
Alex grabbed the handle of his cane twisted and pulled out a thin rapier like sword. He tossed his jacket with a shrug from his shoulders and stepped into position Allen had never seen before. Both of his feet were close together and he stood in a ridge but relaxed stance at full height. The bone sheath was in his left hand held lightly in an underhand grip and the sword was held point down toward Allen.
 
Allen hunkered down and twisted his body to give less of a target. He kept his knife infront of him in a guarded position and his left hand low toward the ground. If he could get in close the fight would be over. He braced himself for the rush when Alex almost appeared in front of him. The sword tip was barely parried and grazed his upper arm as sparks flew from his knife guard.
 
Allen spun around under the sword and tried for a slash at Alex’s legs when the cane came toward his head,   He winced in pain when he blocked the strike with his left arm hearing his bones in his forearm crack.
 
His ribs lit on fire when Alex’s foot kicked him and he slid across the floor from the force of it. Allen coughed blood and stood up slowly. His vision had black edges to it from lack of oxygen but instinct had him block the sword thrust that would have taken him in the heart. Instead the point of Alex’s rapier went through Allen’s shoulder.
 
“Come on boy, you just need to hit me once.” The damn old man still had that smile making him look like he was drinking tea with an old friend.
 
Looking behind Alex he saw his Ka-D-Bra grinning at the fight. Behind her Sarah hung limp in the air. Sarah’s hand moved slightly signaling him to move to the left.
 
He cried out as he rolled over the control panel he was pinned against as the rapier was ripped out his shoulder from the motion. Fire lit up his lungs as he lept to the left circling around toward Sarah.
 
“You’re not going to get far with that tactic boy. You need to fight me to hit me.” Alex calmly walked across the room and got between him and Sarah.
 
Allen stopped just short of the man and grinned. “Your rules never said I needed to hit you.”
 
Alex gave him a puzzled look that turned to a look of shock. A thin blade of metal had been shoved through his mid back and came out his front. Sarah’s hand was pointed at him and a long blade seemed to have grown from her hand from the silver suit Goe had taken from as. Alice let Sarah go in shock gripping her back in pain.
 
As blood spiled out of Alex’s mouth Alice raised her eyes toward Sarah. “You die!”
 
Flame erupted from Sarah’s body and flooded the room. Allen covered his face but didn’t feel the fire burn him. He dimly heard Alice screaming under the roar of the flames. When the fire cleared both Alice and Alex were lying on the ground. Both looked badly burned as Alice crawled toward her master and disappeared.
 
Walking over to Sarah he lifted her up and checked her pulse. Pulling out her ball he recalled her and Goe landed with a splash on the floor and reformed. “What the hell was that Goe?!”
 
She looked around the room and pointed at the exit. “Heavenly Fire. Grab your sister and let’s get out of here. You will need to use a more powerful pokeball then what your father had.” Nodding Allen brought out one of the Ultra balls he found in his brothers room. A quick look at the controls had him opening up the tank with his sister so he could ball her.
Goe grabbed the pokepack and the both of them headed out of the lab.

They both reached the edge the forest heading east in about 30 minutes. Allen stopped and leaned against a tree. “I got the crap beat out of me back there. How am I running like I had a full night’s rest?” He pulled out the PPHU and put Sarah’s ball in it.
 
Goe lifted his head up in her hand drawing him face to face with her. “It’s because you are a good person Allen. Heavenly Fire won’t hurt a good person, it heals them.” A bubbly giggle worked its way through her body making her form ripple. “A devious person, but still, a good one.” She leaned in the few inches and gave him a searing kiss.
 
His hand started to reach around her liquid body when the PPHU dinged signaling that Sarah was ready. Glancing at it Goe’s arm extended down grabbing Sarah’s ball and released her. Allen caught Sarah as she fell. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked around. “Well, damn, we won.” She looped and arm around Allen’s head and drew him down for his second kiss in the last five minutes.
 
The sound of water splashing on stones made the both turn to Goe who was laughing into her hand. “We should get moving. There is some explaining I will need to do for you both and I have a favor to ask of you two.”
 
Blushing, Sarah stood up, put the PPHU back in the pack and grabbed Allen’s hand. “Ok, let’s get away from that mad house you call a family Allen.”
 
Another hour walk and they came into a clearing near the hills a few miles away from his family’s home. A small creek bubbled from a steaming spring surrounded by rocks.  Goe turned toward them. “Ok, she should be here in about an hour to tell you what is going on. After you talk with her I suggest you make your way east to the Tamer all call marked on the Pokedex in your pack. You can hide there to avoid the Team’s search parties until dawn.”
 
Allen looked around the clearing and cleared his throat. “Ok, so who are we meeting?
Goe’s never ending smile widened. “My patron. She can better explain what is going on than me. So, about my favor, seeing as we have some time?”
 
Sarah gripped Allen’s hand. “She did help us get your sister Allen and she saved both of our lives.”
 
Allen smiled at Sarah then Goe. “I know, I wasn’t planning on saying no to you Goe.”
 
“Oh, then that makes this easy.” She clapped her hands in a splashing noise. “Tame me. The both of you at the same time.”
 
Pet and owner both looked at the Slimette with wide eyes. Allen blushed and spoke softly. “Um, we’ve only ever tamed each other. This will be our first time with a third so I’m not sure how good we will be.” Sarah was blushing as well looking down at the ground.
 
Both their eyes widened when Goe wrapped her arms around each of their waists. “I think I want this taming even more now. You both are cute when your embarrassed.” She pulled Sarah close and drew the cabbit into a kiss as she leaned back against Allen.
 
Allen felt his manhood stir at the sight of the two girls kissing in front of him and slid his hands up Goe’s side to her breasts. Her skin felt slick but not wet like she looked. Almost like touching oiled rubber. Her nipples seemed to form from her skin as she shuddered under his touch and he grabbed hold of both of them to roll softly between his finger tips.
 
Sarah felt her leotard shorts drop to the forest floor and the Slimette’s playful fingers running over her lower lips, parting her for access. She moaned into Goe’s mouth as an impossibly long finger wormed into her core and expanded. Her hands worked behind Goe and undid Allen’s belt. She raised a foot and using one clawed toe pulled them down, boxers and all, freeing his hardness to the cool night air. Looping both of her arms under Goe’s legs she lifted the slime girl from the ground to straddle her. With a shift she spread Goe’s ass cheeks with her hands and broke her kiss with the girl.
 
“Fuck her Allen. I think she is ready now.” She grinned as she looked over Goe’s shoulder. Goe was a mess as she shook from arouse between the two more solid people. Allen pushed up as Sarah lowered Goe onto his cock. She gasped as he penetrated her and shuttered against Sarah.   Sarah licked the side of Goe’s face. “Oh, it gets better. Just let him get started.”
 
Allen marveled on how different Goe felt. It was like he was being squeezed by warm water, but tight and smooth at the same time. Nothing impeded his thrusts as he drilled into the girl from behind. Sarah helped by lifting her up and down on his cock as well.
 
Sarah froze up as she felt Goe’s hands slide down to her ass as well. One hand pushed and narrowed into her pussy and the other she felt probe her ass before it changed into a cone like shape and pushed into the tight hole. Both started to alternate thrusting inside her making her fall to her knees from the sensations. Allen’s cock popped out of Goe as she fell on top of Sarah.
 
Goe removed her hand from Sarah’s pussy and Allen stared in wonder as it reformed back to it’s normal shape. She pressed her mons against Sarah’s and ground them both together. Looking back she spread her cheeks with her free hand. “Take my ass please.” She pleaded with a burning look from her eyes.
 
Scooting forward between both the girls legs Allen gripped Goe’s hips and worked his cock into her backside. For being mostly liquid, he was sweating as he squeezed into the tight hole. He dragged out of her ass slowly then slammed it back in with a wet slap making Goe’s sex grind against Sarah.
 
Sarah came first as her ass clinched around Goe’s makeshift phallus. She cried out into Goe’s mouth as they both rubbed their breasts together. Sarah pushed herself out from under Goe and worked her around so she was facing under the Slimette’s dripping sex watching as Allen’s cock pumped her ass for all he was worth. Sarah’s tongue reached up and lashed at Goe’s clit and licking the dripping sexual juices from her pussy making the girl above her cry out as the ball of energy she was building in her belly finally burst. Goe latched her lips around Sarah’s cunt and cried out her joy into her, making Sarah shudder from the sensation.
 
Allen felt Goe clinch around him making his control fail. Grunting he emptied himself into her ass and felt her come one more time from the feeling of his seed flooding inside her. Her skin lightened from its normally dull silver to a very light grey as she absorbed everything he was giving her. He pulled out of her ass with a pop and fell back on his ass on the forest floor. Staring up in a haze at the trees above him he felt a tongue working his soft member hard again.
 
Sarah’s eyes glittered as she popped his cock out of her mouth. “My turn now.”
 
Allen gave a nod to her and pulled her up into his lap. Goe came around him and pressed her breasts into his back. Slipping into Sarah’s warmth and feeling Goe rub his tail he leaned back and resigned himself to another round. Hopefully Goe’s friend showed up and saved him before he was drained dry by the two girls, he thought with a sarcastic grin.

“Goe?”
 
Allen looked up from where he was resting in the spring as a woman with angel wings landed in the clearing. Sarah was nuzzled into his side and Goe was eyes deep in the spring soaking up water and heat as much as she could. She saw the woman and flowed out of the spring, forming in a hug around the girl.
 
“Aries!” Goe kissed the woman lightly and motioned to Allen and Sarah. “I brought them here like you asked. It didn’t go as well as it should have but we got the girls out and saved his sister.”
 
Aries smiled, “I know, but there was minimal losses and no one died for which I’m glad.”
 
Allen eyed the woman as she sat down on a rock next to the pool and blushed at his nakedness. “I’m sorry for interfering in what you were doing back there. I asked Goe to keep you both safe but you still managed to be hurt.”
 
Blinking, Allen shook his head. “Um, yes we both got hurt, but with Goe here I was healed from everything that happen… I take it you’re the one that Blessed her?”
 
“Yes, I’m her patron.” She drew Goe against her. “She impressed me with her devotion to caring for others so I asked if she would accept my gift and the responsibilities with it. The hurt I’m speaking of though isn’t the physical one. Your sister might never be the same again and it will be a hard road ahead of you. I’ve asked if we could provide you with help but my… superiors turned me down. This was the best I could do for you.” Aries looked sadly at the ground.
 
Allen stood up and pulled Sarah up with him and they both put clothes on in front of the blushing Megami. He walked over and put his hand on her shoulder. “You have my thanks. Goe risked herself to help us and from the sounds of it you were doing something as well.”
 
She smiled up at him. “Me and Trishie got all the girls out right after you both shutdown the security system. Your mom is safe as well. We worked out a Ranch transfer to a respectable friend in the Crimson League so they are all safe now.”
 
Sarah padded over to them. “So, what do we do now? I’m going to guess the league will be blaming us for all the girls just up and disappearing like that.”
 
Allen nodded in response. “Girls get free, we take the blame. I would be mad about it, but I was expecting something close to this anyway.” He looked down at Aries. “Are you going to take Goe back to Trishie now?”
 
Aries nodded. “Yes, but first I want you both to have this.” She pressed a gold ring into each of their hands. “They are enchanted to make you invisible for about 4 hours. That should give you enough time to get to the place marked on the pokedex you have in your pack. If you leave that place before first light all my visions show death.” She looked puzzled and gave them both a grim look. “She will be rough, but take her with you when you meet her no matter how much your instincts will tell you to get her away from you at first.”
 
Allen gave the woman a puzzled look. “Um, ok. I don’t understand but I’ll try and follow that.”
 
Aries sighed. “I must go now. May I have Goe’s ball please?
 
Allen handed the pokeball to the Megami and she whispered something to Goe. Goe slid forward and gave Allen and Sarah a soft kiss. “I will tell your mother that you’re safe.” Her face split into a big grin. “And for first timers you both were very good to me.”
 
Aries recalled her with a flash of red light. “There is a storm coming so you both best be going. I wish you luck and hope to meet you both again.” She bowed to them and teleported away leaving them both alone once again.
 
Sarah leaned her head against Allen and he wrapped his tail around her waist. “Lets check out this location on the pokedex they mentioned and get moving. I have a feeling our relaxation time here is at an end.”
 
Allen dug out the pokedex and opened it up. “Um, Sarah, where did you get this thing from?”
 
Sarah lifted up the pokepack and turned back toward him. “That storage room in the barracks had a small box of them. They looked new so I figured no one would miss one of them. It should be still unregistered to a Tamer, right?”
 
“Nope, this is a hacked dex for dummies. Someone modded this thing so a person could input false information into it and pull off being a tamer. It should work at most pokecenters, but don’t get caught by law enforcement with this nasty piece of gear.” Typing into the dex, Allen held it out to Sarah. “Hold it still so it can get my picture for the fake id.” There was a flash and Allen took it back.
 
“You sure that will be ok Allen?”
 
“Nope, but we are outlaws now anyway so what’s one more charge against us if they catch us.”
 
Nodding she stepped behind him. “Good point. Well, lead the way Mr. Tamer , sir.”
 
His tail flicked her ass making her jump. “Stop being cute or we will end up wasting another hour here.”
 
They both slipped on the rings they got from Aries and started off toward the clearing on the pokedex as they faded from view.
