A New Direction for Humanity Ch. 05

"It is... thahhvur. Do you know that word?" Ipla spoke carefully but still seemed amused.

"No I don't."

"Hmmm... in english I would say... "childish yet endearing". It also speaks to me of an affection that I doubt you truly feel."

"I think I do feel it, though..." Shae smiled softly, feeling an affection for Xiac deep in her chest. She didn't really know what it meant, to her or to the Rei-sa, but it was there.

Ipla looked at her, a bit puzzled. "Well, I suppose it is to be expected that humans experience affection differently than we do. But I am here to teach you Rei-sa, not to ponder our respective natures."

Shae paused a moment, then looked over at Ipla. "Is... this language the only one your people speak?"

Ipla looked over at her, confused. "I don't know what you mean. Rei-sa is speech. It is the method we use to see one another and ourselves by extension."

Shae recoiled a tiny bit at that statement and ran it through her head a few times. She was positive that she was both mistranslating it and also not understanding the context being communicated to her. "And... it's the same name as your species?" she finally asked.

"Naturally. We are each other. We are the method." Ipla agreed, and then paused. "Does this not make sense to you, Miss Shae?"

"No. But, maybe one day it will," she smiled at that idea, and moved into the lesson with Ipla.

The door rattled on its hinges as Shae pulled, some unseen and never-utilized locking mechanism keeping them shut. After the third unsuccessful opening attempt, she wasn't able to doubt that the doors were in fact locked and she wasn't just too weak to open them, today. She glanced about for a few seconds in confusion, before she looked over at Reep. She was talking with some engineering chief about something that may as well have been a third language.

"Reep? Why is the door locked?" The door was never locked. She was quite sure that she was as unthreatening as a cat to them when it came to things like walking in on important conversations.

Reep looked away from her conversation for a moment and there was a few seconds of silence as she looked between the door and Shae. "I suppose you can go in, Shae. Good luck."

She frowned at the strange comment for a moment but the door clicked open and she went inside without thinking much of it. She got two steps into the suite before she heard a strange thumping sound. When she stopped and looked over at Xiac, She saw that the Vakita was slouched over face-down at her desk. Her arms were limp and sprawled across the surface, one hand periodically rising up a few inches only to crash back down with a dull thud. She was doing it rhythmically, like it was something she was doing to distract herself.

"Ji'rai? Is everything alright?" she called out to her softly.

The thumping fist stopped, and Xiac went deathly still for a few seconds. She raised her face to look up at Shae as if in slow-motion. Her face was flushed and her eyes had a sort of mania to them that made Shae's heart skip a beat.

"Blocker... Fail..." The Rei-sa woman rasped softly, her breath jagged and unsteady. Shae recognized the words but she couldn't help but think they had a context to them that she wasn't grasping in this situation. The curious part of her wanted to ask for a clarification but the immensely perturbed part just wanted to back away slowly, and so she did.

As she took a step back, her heel caught on the edge of one of the things that resembled rugs, and with a yelp, she fell. Her tablet flew out of her hands and she threw them out and managed to catch herself before she crashed into the floor with her face. "Ow..." she grumbled as she looked around from her hands and knees position for where the tablet had fallen. A brief glance found it tucked under one of the tables, and she crawled over towards it to retrieve the object.

"Are you unhurt... Riten..." Xiac's voice from behind her trailed off. Shae looked over her shoulder to see what had distracted her. Xiac was staring at her, intently. Perhaps more specifically, it looked like she was staring at her ass. A soft growl escaped the Vakita's lips, and she stood up from her desk, taking one slow deliberate step towards her.

"Umm... I'm fine, Ji'rai." Shae swallowed nervously. She'd never seen Xiac act like this. Slowly, she started to rise, getting one foot under her. Her Ji'rai saw the motion and snarled, an angry feral noise that she'd never heard any Rei-sa ever make. With a tiny squeak of fear, Shae bolted.

She saw Xiac move, but it was like watching a car speed at her, for all the time she had to react. Xiac's hand slammed into her ba

ck, not striking her, but forcefully shoving her down face-first into the rug. The rough fibers scratched at her face as Xiac snarled at her.

"Mine!" Xiac hissed in her ear, slowly pressing more of her weight onto her. Shae panicked, and started to squirm, trying to wriggle away. Xiac let out a barking laugh that sounded almost angry. "Never!" she growled, grabbing Shae by the hip and the shoulder. With a ridiculously fast motion, she was yanked off the floor and tossed towards her mat. She landed, tumbled, and in a panic, scrambled onto her feet.

"P-Please! Ji'rai!" Shae squeaked, raising her hands defensively. Xiac advanced on her again, batting her hands out of the way in an instant and grabbing her by the back of the neck. She lifted Shae up off her feet, wrapping her other arm around Shae's back and crushing her close in a pinning embrace. Shae trembled as Xiac lowered her face, rubbing her cheek against the top of Shae's head.

Xiac growled something again, a word Shae didn't recognize. The hand at her neck ran down her back, making her shiver. Xiac repeated the word, tightening her grip on Shae. A moment later, she was released, and fell onto her feet. She tried to look up at Xiac but didn't get so far as to raise her head before Xiac's hand was on her chest, shoving her. She stumbled backwards, her legs hitting... Xiac's bed? She hadn't even realized that Xiac had carried her this way. She scrambled, trying to crawl away, but Xiac caught her, pinning her against the mattress.

"Never!" Xiac howled, pushing her down harder. Realization hit Shae as she remembered Reep's words. She stopped trying to crawl and struggle, and relaxed, going limp. Xiac rumbled a little, a noise that sounded vaguely satisfied. "My Riten," she whispered in Shae's ear as her hands suddenly became... not quite gentle, but gentler, at least. One of Xiac's hands let go of her, and Shae heard the sound of ripping fabric. Slowly, Xiac settled her weight down on top of Shae. Xiac was naked now, having probably torn her uniform apart. Her skin felt slightly cooler pressed up against Shae's back than a human's would have, or at least, more of her skin did. The blunt tip of Xiac's cock, slid past her crack and through her thighs. Her own, rapidly hardening penis was pushed out of the way. Unlike the rest of Xiac, it was warm, and Shae felt like she could feel Xiac's heart beating through it. She lazily thrust her cock between Shae's thighs. Her movements were so slow and deliberate at first it didn't seem like she was moving at all. After the second thrust, Shae realized she was picking up speed, and her breathing was becoming laboured.

Xiac exhaled heavily, and pressed a small container into her hand from above her. "Do not break..." she murmured.

Shae twisted her head to the side to look at the container, and it was lube, as she'd expected. Without speaking, she removed the cap, poured the slick liquid into her palm and reached back behind her to rub it into the tight ring of muscle that Xiac was poised to conquer. She got one finger inside easily, but that was all she had time for before Xiac grabbed her by the elbow. She growled again, a low, ominous rumble as she pulled Shae's arm out of the way and shifted her weight. The blunt head of her cock pressed insistently into Shae's ass and she shivered in anticipation. Xiac slowly and meticulously rocked her weight forward, Shae's small body refusing entry the first few times. Xiac stopped, her breath coming in gasps, and pulled back a little bit.

"Not break, not break, not break" Xiac chided herself in that rapid mumbling way that Rei-sa did when they were distracted.

"I won't break, Ji'rai," Shae whispered, arching her back a little. The words made Xiac go still, and then slowly a rasping hiss came out of her.

Xiac's hand roughly came down in the center of her back, pushing her down with inhuman strength that would have been crushing if she wasn't on an extremely soft mattress. Her other hand grabbed Shae's ass and pulled the cheek to the side. Her fingers flexed and spread her ass open as her lubricated cock came back into contact with her pucker. Shae whined softly as the blunt, almost flared head of Xiac's cock pressed hard, pulled back only briefly, and then pressed hard over and over. The sensation of being stretched was intense and Shae was gasping, shivering and twitching weakly on the bed within minutes. There was a sharp shock of pain as the head slipped in.

"A-Ahhh! Nnnngghh." Shae howled and grunted into the soft blankets as Xiac continued to push. The immense crushing pressure on her prostate made electricity dance across her nerve endings. It wasn't especially pleasurable but it was a feeling of sexuality and intensity to counterpoint the pain and discomfort. She felt herself start to slip into a sort of a possessed state, her body owned, used and dominated by the inscrutable alien queen above her.

Xiac stuffed the first half of her cock inside slowly but steadily and she ran into the bend in Shae's ass. She let out a frustrated growl but didn't try to force it in further. She started to fuck Shae in shallow thrusts, apparently not needing any coaching from Shae as to what the best way to rearrange her insides would be. Shae hung on for what felt like dear life, the pain of the penetration ebbing away even as the discomfort remained and even mounted. Eventually, Xiac made progress around the bend, sinking her cock deeper and deeper. Shae wailed in passion as the massive pillar of alien flesh buried itself inside her. As Xiac bottomed out, Shae felt not only just a thrill of accomplishment but a tingling pleasure that made her eyes flutter drunkenly. She squeezed down hard on Xiac's cock, wiggling her ass up against her Ji'rai's hips.

"Subsume and accept," Xiac growled, moving her hips in deep thrusting motions that felt like they were displacing Shae's vital organs with how powerful they were. She felt herself getting pressed into a wet spot and she wasn't sure if it was lube or her own precum. The sex was so intense that Shae felt like Xiac was literally taking over her body, overwhelming her nerve endings and turning her into a hapless puppet.

Xiac withdrew and then thrust her cock back inside Shae's ass and she shuddered. The ridges on the bottom of that cock roughly scraped against Shae's prostate. The ecstasy shot through her body and she felt her cock twitch and leak cum all over Xiac's bed. She yelped at the shock of it and braced her arms and legs against the mattress, pushing herself up to twist and grind against Xiac's hips. The tiny act of her exercising her own power only seemed to fuel Xiac's frenzy. She growled out a deep rasping noise and met Shae's thrusts and wiggles with redoubled force, slamming her down into the mattress. Xiac's strength only continued to mount and Shae soon found herself totally fucked into the soft mattress, moaning and panting into the blankets. She felt her body spasming and twitching, overwhelmed with pleasure but she wasn't sure if it was just the effect of having her body so dominated by Xiac or if she was cumming her brains out.

After several minutes of reshaping Shae's insides, Xiac withdrew her cock almost completely, Shae's stretched sphincter somehow still clinging to the head of her cock. She thrust back into Shae in one brutal go, and Shae screamed loudly, a primal shriek that would have hurt her throat if she could think of anything other than the sensations ripping through her body right now. Impaled in Shae's ass, Xiac let out a low rumbling growl, and then grabbed Shae around the midriff. An instant later, Shae was whirling in the air. Xiac spun Shae around with an impossible prowess and agility. Shae's vision swam even as they stopped, and it took her a moment to realize Xiac had flipped them so that she was on top. With another jolt, Xiac started to bounce Shae on her lap like a doll. She gyrated her hips and plunged her dick into Shae's ass with a skill and power that took her breath away. The intensity of the huge cock crushing her prostate drained her strength, making her weakly bounce along with Xiac's movements, her half-hard cock bouncing and flinging strands of precum across Xiac's chest.

"Mine... Riten..." Xiac gasped breathlessly. She slowed for a moment, and then, with a terrifying speed, started to jackhammer her cock into Shae's already ravaged ass.

Shae screamed again, her eyes crossing, sight blurring, control of her body vanishing. There was nothing but her intense, continual orgasm, Xiac's strong hands keeping her upright as she used her as a fucksleeve. Xiac herself howled hoarsely, her cock swelling up even further, twitching and flooding Shae with an absurdly copious amount of warmth and wetness.

Her guts cramped a little as Xiac continued to pump her full of alien "sperm." The tiny edge of pain and discomfort from the continuing cum enema was lost in the overwhelming twilight of her multiple orgasms. She felt herself go completely limp and gooey in Xiac's embrace, her head bobbing weakly. As her eyes cracked open, she saw the thorough canvas of her cum that she'd sprayed across Xiac's chest and it made her giggle. A moment later, she shifted, and felt her stomach bloated with her Ji'rai's passion shift awkwardly. She glanced down and saw that she looked positively pregnant.

"Riten..."Xiac murmured softly, slowly lowering her, so that she was lying across Xiac's chest, her fake baby bump slick against the sheen of human semen that had been wrung out of her.

"Over... amazing," Shae murmured softly, snuggling close in with her Ji'rai even as her guts rumbled and a trickle of the cum Xiac had shot into her started to leak out.

"You are intact, Shae?" Xiac asked softly, her voice returning to a bit of its normal cadence.

"Extremely okay..." Shae murmured, planting gentle kisses on Xiac's breasts. "What about you?"

"Rei-sa go into this state, periodically. I have been taking medicine to delay it, but... it is not perfect." Xiac rumbled softly, sounding almost apologetic.

"Worth the wait?" Shae asked playfully.

"You are more than worth everything, I have invested into you, Riten..." Xiac squeezed her close, and Shae felt her heart melt.

"I love you, Ji'rai," Shae whispered in english, unable to find the words in Rei-sa.

"That is a significant profession, is it not?" Xiac asked, after a brief pause, staying in english.

"...yeah."

Xiac said something then, reciting a phrase in the Rei-sa metaphorical dialect that Shae couldn't follow. She barely understood a word of it, but she felt the gravity of her Ji'rai's tone.

"It will be a while before I can understand what that means, won't it?" she asked with a smile.

"You will have to remain here a while as you learn, I think." Xiac chuckled, the vibration rumbling through her chest and into Shae's.

"Sounds good to me."

***

Four years later...

Shae stepped up onto the little podium that the crew had left there for her. She was wearing her uniform, the one that Xiac had ordered adjusted repeatedly until it fit so well that it almost felt like a second skin. The park was almost entirely empty of it's Rei-sa crew, they were all engaged in preparation for... what she assumed was some form of Faster-than-light travel. Rei was about thirty lightyears away, and the trip supposedly took three years. She'd lived on the Mekorial for four years and still had no idea how any of the technology worked on this thing. Assembled in front of her was a group of almost four hundred people - human people, that was. About half of them were in relationships with the crew of the Mekorial, and the other half were all volunteers that Shae had spent the past year interviewing and screening.

"Hello, everybody." She spoke into the microphone pinned to her uniform, standing up straight and trying to project some confidence. She'd gotten somewhat used to having other humans around over the past year, but giving a speech in front of hundreds of them was a completely different beast. "We're heading out in... a little under a day, now. I guess you probably all know that, though..." She resisted the urge to start umm'ing and instead pushed on. "I'm... so excited. We're going to be the first humans to set foot on an alien planet. We're going to shape and reimagine the future of humanity more than almost anybody in history. But, what I want to do here in front of you all is to put forward an idea. I want us, all of us, to be a family.

The entire reason we're here is to find a new direction for humanity, not take our old problems and hangups with us to the stars. I want to build something better, to actively work at being better, not to just rely on the Rei-sa to solve our problems for us." She paused, letting her words sink in to the anxious group of people in front of her. "So... to do that, specifically. I say we totally corner a segment of this park for ourselves." she clasped her hands together and giggled, and watched as some small fraction of the tension in the group diffused. "Another thing I really want to do is set up more software on the network for us. I know a lot of us are artistic or academic, and I'd love for us to continue that culture, to build a new one with our hosts, not be absorbed into theirs. We're going to reimagine humanity, but we're also going to reimagine the Rei-sa." She paused, and a bit of applause came in response. It wasn't thundering, but it was a start. She could work with that.

"Are you done yet, Riten?" Xiac's voice buzzed into her earpiece. "We're ready to begin the journey and my lap is missing its pet."

"In a moment, Ji'rai" Shae whispered, grinning conspiratorially. "Alright, everybody, sounds like we're good to go, head on off to your quarters, for the... FTL, or whatever it is. We've got three years on our journey, so there's gonna be lots of time to continue this conversation." She stepped down from the podium even as Xiac continued to whisper lewd things in her ear.
