Drew's Trouble with Cats and Roaches Pt. 24

She used her long rough feline tongue to lick his ball sack as she took him deeper in her throat. She was humming, not just in her throat but in her soul.

She had him.

She could feel him start to swell but did not want to waste his seed in her mouth. She wanted to be bred. She licked his length one last time and rose to look him in the eye.

She ran her muzzle along his neck and lightly bit above his jugular. She spun, raising her short tail and presented her ass and sex for his delight. She swished and shook her ass to make him focus on her prize.

He did not need prompting but pulled himself closer. Drew ran his lower, smaller befuddled brain up and down the lips of her sex. It made her arch and in doing so lined him up perfectly.

His cock head was in her before either of them had time to think. She slammed back at the same instant he slammed forward. The resulting mashing of bodies brought a calliope of noise.

Wet slapping flesh and fur, the squelching of wet and hard organs, the moaning of both and bursts of breathing. Its erotic sounds echoed in the bathing chamber.

Drew moaned louder and deeper. Alania felt the release of his seed deep in her fertile womb. She knew she would be with cub within minutes.

Alania raised her muzzle and roared her melodic feminine Kettle joy.

Goldie and Kitten followed Dahlia's trail and found several of her camp locations. They were not there for sightseeing so once they picked up her continued trail, they were off at a lope.

They ate up miles, stopped to drink briefly at small stream, staying away from even medium sized ponds. As they neared one edge of the caldera, they found her scent mixed with those of Humans. They had smelt that same mixture at several campsites, but this was pure human and Dahlia.

Kitten and Goldie felt it. Something was wrong, but they could not place why. Kitten slowly crept up between some boulders. She had shifted to hunter mode and became silent. Goldie saw Kittens mane begin to fluff and bristle and she followed Kitten up the rock escarpment, not quite as quietly.

Kitten had gone to her stomach and pulled herself forward with her paws until she could look between two boulders. What she saw made her snarl and a deep growl escaped her maw.

Humans, wearing funny things over their faces had Dahlia tied up. She watched as they sprayed her with some mist. Dahlia went limp. Two of the humans, by size and shape Kitten assumed male, picked up Dahlia's limp form and headed towards the Caldera Lake.

Kitten roared out a challenge and then closed her eyes and concentrated.

"Poppa! Poppa! Help NOW! At Caldera Lake. Dahlia hurt by Humans. They take her to lake! Help Now Poppa!" she screamed mentally.

Goldie, not understanding what was going on, began to growl and walked up to the summit of their rock structure. She howled at the Humans. And stood proudly yipping and barking and the offending creatures.

Their answer was automatic fire from the valley below. Goldie had lived with humans and other creatures too long. When she saw them raise the rifles she ducked and fled for cover.

Bullets flew and chipped rock where she had stood only moments before. A few splinters hit Goldie and gave her some slight cuts, but she was safe behind the boulder. Kitten crawled over and began to lick and clean the wounds. She would have smacked Goldie for putting herself in danger, but she knew that Goldie had learned a lesson.

The Humans below were confused. Where the hell did an earth wolf show up on this planet and in this location? The two that were carrying Dahlia were a good 3/4 of a mile from the edge of the lake, but continued to trudge on, half dragging half carrying the long lean body of the Cat.

Kitten surveyed the ground between them and the lake. Very little cover and the humans could kill from a distance. She saw the narrow but deep stream bed off to the right and the only thing she could think of was slithering in the mud to get closer.

She edged down the escarpment with Goldie in slow pursuit. She reached a secondary feed to the stream and just shivered for a second, as she surveyed her grand idea.

'Cold, wet, slimy mud,' she thought. she would look more favorably on the clean warm waters of her poppa's pool in the future, she thought. She gave up and hopped down into the mud and lowered herself as she started to crawl forward. she heard and felt a splash behind her as Goldie followed. Goldie let out a light whimper at the cold and iciness of the slime.

They moved forward as a team. The stream bed was deeper than it appeared from the rocks so they could rise and make more distance through the catching, sucking mud at the flow line of the cold stream. They were deep in the mainstream and making better time paralleling the main human force.

Kitten paused and then lifted her head slightly above the bank. Her normal tan fur was now a grey brown. She had small patches of the pure tan dappling through her new camouflage. Her ears were laid flat, and she watched the humans continue to carry the limp body of Dahlia across the tundra like landscape.

Kitten paused. She was so deep in her misery that she thought she may have heard something echo in her mind.

"Poppa?" she sent out into the ether. One word came back.

"Coming"

She was coated in mud, cold wet yet she was elated. She looked behind her at the bewildered Goldies and 'smiled' as much as best as she could. She knew to keep quiet, but she was filled with joy.

Their Poppa was on the way and so she roared. Goldie immediately howled and it echoed in the rock canyon. Both humans carrying Dahlia dropped her body onto the short grass covered surface. They slung their weapons outward in defense. Kitten saw their reaction, guns swiveled, heads swiveled. The sound finally stopped echoing.

The biggest human started to wave his hands and bark. The other humans started to gather up Dahlia and head to the lake. Kitten slid back down the slimy bank and kept paralleling the troupe of humans.

The stream continued to shift towards the humans and Kitten knew at one point they would be almost side by side with the humans carrying Dahlia. If they stayed hidden, they were safe. If they were discovered, they would have no chance of escape.

As they neared the lake there was a sudden human scream. Kitten again nosed up over the bank to see one of the humans waived in the air by a large tentacle. A second scream was heard as the other human was grabbed and dragged towards the lake.

Dahlia's limp form was swallowed in the grass by their feet.

Kitten saw sudden movement in the creek bed directly in their path. Another tenacle had been waiting as a trap for any unsuspecting creature to bump into it, Goldie growled as it curled in upon itself and then flopped over the edge of the bank and slid towards the human prey it had caught.

A large body started to emerge from the edge of the caldera lake. The humans opened fire with their weapons. Other than loud growls coming from the aquatic creature, there seemed to be little effect.

The two humans in the tenacles no longer made noise and were limp or seemingly coming apart.

The large human grabbed a large pack from the ground and pulled out a tube. The tube was pulled to twice its size. He stopped when he noticed the ending of his two teammates. He started to bark again, and Kitten slid down the bank into the mud and stayed under cover.

The two muddy critters were deep in the stream trench and staying out of sight, but the humans must have heard noise well before Kitten and Goldie. There were screams and barking. Kitten had to peek again to understand what all the commotion was about. The humans were running around grabbing rifles and the tube again. They stood in a group pointing at the mountains.

Goldie, had slid, skidded and worked her way to the edge of the bank. She laid her head down next to Kitten. She looked miserable. She was shivering and letting out little whimpers as she rolled her eyes plaintively at Kitten.

Both creatures stopped. All thought left them briefly when they heard the distant sounds, thrusters! Poppa had arrived! In the far distance they could see a shuttle crossing the valley between two peaks and then turning, with a glint of reflection as the craft reflected the sunlight. It turned towards them and started to grow.

The large human dropped to one knee and put the tube to his shoulder.

The large water creature, tentacles waiving had been busy consuming the two humans. It roared back at all the movement by its prey that were too distant to catch.

"Kitten, where are you and Goldie?" Drew sent reaching out with concern.

"In Icky stream Papa but hidden" Kitten sent back. Kitten also sent mental pictures to Drew so he could "see" what was happening with the Humans.

'Where is Dahlia?' Drew asked.

"Asleep in grass by mean water creature" Kitten sent and broadcast a picture but Dahlia was still hidden in the grass.

In the shuttle Drew turned to Alania gave an order. "Strengthen forward shields, we have some idiot with a handheld rocket launcher."

"Yes Lord, strengthening forward shields," tactical officer Alania responded.

As the shuttle slowed, it swung behind the agitated water denizen and directly into the sights of the rocket launcher. Drew was trying to distract the water creature plus make the shot with the rocket as difficult as possible. He spun the shuttle head in where the front enhanced shields could do the best.

"Human biologist' team, stand down and drop your weapons. You are under arrest for kidnapping, assault, and false identification. Stand down now," Drew broadcast on the exterior speaker.

The response was automatic fire, the water creature bellowing and a rocket streaking between tentacles coming at the front canopy. Drew jinked the shuttle to the right and then to the left, but the rocket tracked it all. It struck just right of center and the shuttle rocked with the explosion.

"Son of a bitch, where did they get that much punch in a hand-held?" Drew commented out loud, pretty much just for himself.

"Shields at 48% and rising Lord," Alaina commented, "May I return fire?"

"No, not yet I want someone alive, and we still have Dahlia down there by the pissed off water creature. Why doesn't it leave? Stupid stubborn sea monster prick." commented Lord Drew.

"Open weapon pods and let them see what we have to fight back with," Drew ordered.

"Yes Lord. Weapon pods open and hot. Lighting up the bug weapon." responded Alania. Then something caught her attention.

"Lord, we have craft inbound to our location," Alania stated, but Drew could feel her shielding crack and could hear her concern in her voice.

"Tactical officer! How many? from whom? and how far out?" Drew asked as calmly as he could.

"The closest is here now Lord" she stated as they felt the fire across their flank. "The other is there but not there. I cannot get a solid reading, but it seems to be at the edge of atmosphere." she stated confused.

"Well, lets deal with the devil we know," stated Lord Drew.

She was confused by the mention of deity, but understood enough to understand to deal with the hazard banking to fire on them again.

"Hostile craft, cease your fire or you will be fired upon," Alania sent from her console.

Alania verified energy readings on her weapons and opened fire to little effect. She energized the bug weapons on board. The green energy and vapor covered the small ship with lace whisps.

"Lord we have two, no one...maybe two...Hell if I know...destroyer class ships at the edge of atmosphere. One...the one I can get readings on, matches the energy configuration as the enemy shuttle Lord." Shouted Alania as another blast rocked them sideways.

This blast was caused by a rocket sent by the unknown destroyer at the edge of space. They both watched it arc in on their monitors.

"Shields back to 48%" Alania shouted through comm.

And then the world went dark.

Directly above and behind them a full class destroyer appeared. The air displaced by the sudden arrival made the sound of world class thunder or sonic boom. The air movement overwhelmed the compensators and shook the small shuttle almost spinning it 90 degrees.

The aggressive enemy shuttle spun and took flight only to halt in mid escape as the rear of the shuttle folded into itself. It plummeted to the caldera lake below and to the waiting arms of the tenacle creature.

Both the beast and the shuttle disappeared into the frothy water, not to be seen again.

The whole field of people stood frozen watching the shuttle plumet.

Alaina's voice echoed out through the exterior comm. "All aggressor forces are to stand down or be put down where you stand. Drop all weapons and lie prone on the ground with feet and arms outstretched."

And with that direction, she raised the level of the bug weapons to maximum. And multiple humans on the ground threw away their weapons and lay prone.

A Single arm and hand stretched out of the grass and waived. "A Little help here!" came a shout.

It was answered by the streaking of two muddy, tired animals coming to her aid and taking up a defensive perimeter next to her.

The giant ship sat above the scrum in near-air, blotting out the sun on the ground like a giant eclipse.

"Hello Pappa, I am home. I came back on a diplomatic mission from CHOTH 4MB. I was on my way when I heard Kitten's cry for help." A familiar voice in Drew's mind.

"Hello, my daughter, be careful we have an enemy destroyer at edge of atmosphere. But I assume you already know that?" Drew commented and asked.

"Yes, well that. They have their own problems now. They have lost power and their orbit is decaying quickly. But I think that the ship will be a fine addition to the CHOTH navy." Aya paused briefly.

"I'll transport the Humans to the Rock. They are Northern Alliance, and I am sure there are lots of questions to be asked." She commented with mirth and then paused.

Aya stated quietly, "the slaves will be given choices."

There was a quiet pause for more than a few minutes.

"Lord, the Enemy destroyer is no longer in orbit? It's gone!" Alania commented with little reserve and a lot of emotion.

"Poppa, let me formally introduce myself in my new role." He heard Aya's voice over open Comm. "This Aya Drew Scott, Daughter of Lord Drew Scott, and now ambassador from CHOTH 4MB. I am the special envoi from Queen Nor. Here to broker peace between the two kingdoms."

Lord Drew was quiet for a few moments as he stared at the shuttle console.

"And that would be my daughter, Aya, out to save worlds." He spoke with a sad smile and a shake of his head.
