Nigkala Tales Pt. 15: Rocky Road into Kombat

"Three of my daughters have four; the other daughter only has two. Yet one of her kids has four. None of my sons has a four-breasted daughter, but that could still change."

"Three more like us? We have to meet them."

"I'll give your contact info to them, and your invitation. But they are married, with small children, so will likely be busy. But I suspect they will be glad to meet you."

"They look so different."

Filipe answered, "That's because they have different sires. I am their father, but I am only the biological father of some."

"Oh!"

"It's okay. We both knew what our marriage sex life would be. We decided our love was greater, and so it has proved. She may have more liaisons than me, but we have come to enjoy each other's tales."

"Yes, Filipe does find a pussy in every port, but I tend to be more of a flirt that samples the merchandise often. So... shall we watch the movie? It has a lot of sex in it. And it is the extended director's cut." We all got seats, with Filipe and I in the 'couples' seat we special ordered. The ladies kept up a whispered dialog of their feelings about the movie. Afterwards, we talked about it for nearly an hour before going to bed.

Sunday, ended with a cookout. Filipe showed his grilling skills, and we had burgers, steak, bratwurst, grilled vegetables, and more from the grill. I served the lemonade, beer, and chips. After lunch, we said goodbye.

Monday, began shooting of the fight scenes. The director had heard about my 'four-arm' two take technique. I told him that shooting the second take should happen immediately, as the longer between takes, the less it would match. He was also impressed with my jumping, and included several jumps.

Finally, the filming of the dialog began. Malyc asks Dragonfly about Obsidian, "So who are these people?"

"Pulse and Blight are attack mages, very good at explosive and sapping magics. Obsidian, however, is a spell blade. She gets up close and personal with her blade; and uses spells to shield and attack."

"I have heard of the magical strength of the four-breasted mages, but Obsidian is clearly of Shokan ancestry."

"She is the daughter of rape. That brute, Goro, left a number of such children in his wake, as did a number of his followers. Before she was born, her mother, Amida, sought the advice of an oracle. That is when she learned of Delia's prophecy. The black-eyed, half-breed daughter of a warrior and a mage would become a great warrior and mage. She would greatly aid her side in the fight of freedom. Amida decided to teach Obsidian the way of the mage, and to also enlist her friend, Wolf, of the Edenian Knights, to teach her the way of the warrior. Both taught her to be righteous and honorable.

"She proved quite adept at war, somewhat less so at magic. So Amida helped shape Obsidian's magic to that needed by a spell blade, as opposed to the battlefield level magic that Pulse and Blight use. She uses her spells to augment her in battle, as well as to provide defenses. As a warrior, she has already earned the respect and trust of the Edenian Knights. We hope she can earn your trust and respect."

"The Edenian Knights, huh. I am impressed. Very well, we welcome her."

"Obsidian, Pulse, Blight, go with Malyc. Do as he commands, and bring honor to Edenia."

The three of us replied, "Yes, Lady Zyn." We bowed, and joined Malyc's group.

Thus began Obsidian's journey with Malyc, the main hero of this movie. Later, in the fight scenes, while I was the star of a number of them, I never fought the boss alone, except just before Malyc did. That fight I was overwhelmed by the boss, but managed to cut him a few times, and land two spells that slowed him down a little. But when Malyc fought, I used my spells to shield him from the other's spells. The whole time during this fight, Pulse and Blight were keeping the minions busy, and others of Malyc's group fought those who got through.

My favorite fight scene was when I got to jump over several enemies to get behind each, and attacking with my blade from above. These were the hardest to film, as I had to repeat the jump twice as many times, so I could get the 'four-arm' technique in, and it was on a multilevel set. One false step, and I would likely fall, and maybe hurt myself. After one overhead jump, I got to say 'Flawless Victory' as I portrayed my weapon slicing the enemy in half from the head down as I landed. My second favorite was the midnight at the inn scene. That was the nude scene. They did it in the clear, and in post-production darkened it for night, and added smoke from the initial 'sleep gas' bomb. My first act in that scene was to cast a spell that kept the air next to my body clear, for about three inches. Even as I did that, I got out of bed and attacked the invaders with arms and legs. It was tightly choreographed, so that I fought on both takes, but invaders in different positions.

Later, I heard the director thank the fight coordinator, because the doubled shot didn't overlap anywhere, and my skill at moving my body exactly, meant that the small differences were easily covered up by the spell effects. While there was sufficient light to see my privates in the finished product, there was always some smoke thickly obscuring my vagina and thinly obscuring my nipples. In fact, the first three seconds of the fight, my nipples were fully exposed. The home market had that scene as an extra to show how it looked without the smoke. Another extra was showing how my 'four-arm' technique was shot.

The Inn scene took nearly the entire day to shoot, and that meant I was nude the whole day. Some people wondered why I didn't put on a robe on between takes. I just told them I wasn't bothered, and in fact barely noticed it. This led to me getting laid a number of times between takes, sometimes quite publicly. As the scene was fairly early in the shooting schedule, I didn't lack for an after-lunch quickie, or for an end-of-day slow one.

Shooting took three weeks, and then came the post-production. I got two callbacks, but for some voice work. It seems the writers were still working on what we said. The next movie-related thing for me would be the premier. I worked up a fancy outfit based off of the princesses' outfits from the movie. The base used that transparent material, at ten percent black.

Added to that was a crisscross of solid, matte-black stripes, half-an-inch wide, that made diamonds about two and a half inches square.

Added to that was a crisscross of solid, matte-black stripes, half-an-inch wide, that made diamonds about two-and-a-half-inches square.

I allowed my nipples to be centered in that open diamond, but I backed those spaces with an opaque flesh tone material, so you could see the shape, but not the actual skin. While long sleeved, it fit skin tight, and made the fake arms look even more realistic.

The top curved down into a thin point just above my belly button. The bottom was a cross between a loincloth and a high cut bikini. It was shaded from ten percent to full opacity as you went from the side to the center. While others would wear some undergarment, I didn't, so I had a reasonable chance of flashing someone. For shoes, I used a good pair of black leather boots that only went up a few inches above my ankles. To make them into hip waders, I used shiny black satin with hidden elastic to hold it up. The satin ended in another two inches of leather that I added obsidian jewels to. Battling the satin and leather to match took a lot of work, but the finished product looked seamless and shiny. I also added obsidian jewels on the boots. I also made a cloak, also from that ten-percent-black material. I also had gloves with a more delicate crisscross pattern on the same material. I also made black leather and metal bracers that I added to all four arms.

But the real kicker was the built-in special effects. I hired a special effects guy to figure out a way I could fake spell-casting using the bracers as props. I fed control and power lines to them, and hid them under the crisscross all the way back to my waist power and control belt. I also had sensors in my gloves to detect the position of my fingers, and sensors in the sleeves to detect the position of my arms. While working on the bracers, he wondered if I could use the system to also control my fake arms. So I fabricated another set of arms, but only the skeleton, and gave that to him to play with.

He took that skeleton, and got his friends to help, and made it fully controllable, including a functional grip, and being able to bend at the elbow and shoulder. We pulled in a computer guy to create a control program to handle everything. In the end, I could have my fake arms hold their position when disengaged, or they could mimic my real arms by default. We added several sequences that had them perform unique actions for 'spell-casting'. The bracers had lights, sparks, smoke, and sound effects. The spells I practiced used one to four hands, and caused different effects. I also added light strips within the costume to glow to symbolize the various spell effects.

The second set of fake arms required a redesign that braced them against my back, so I added a back brace to give that stability. I covered it with the nude color cloth to hide it. It also needed a tight belt, and a neck choker, to make it near immobile relative to my back. The wig with Obsidian's long hair also helped to hide the details.

About a week before the premiere, Arthur reported that he had brokered all the stones I had for sale. He held back perhaps a hundred thousand's worth of the best stones, but the rest sold for a bit over seven million. He said the geodes proved to be better than expected, and with the x-rays used to determine their inside before cutting, allowed better cuts, raising the prices. I invited him and his family to the premiere. He said that while he was not a fan, his wife and sons were, so they would come, if at all possible. I decided to make his wife a pair of earrings in the shape of the Mortal Kombat dragon, with an obsidian disk as a backing for the silver dragon. I dropped them off a few days later, and Arthur was surprised at the gift for his wife. I said it was my thanks, above and beyond his fees for the work he did with my stones. I suggested she could wear them at the premiere.

When the premiere happened, I arrived in style in a black, stretch SUV. I walked out with my fake arms set to mimic, so when I waved to the fans, both a real and fake arm moved. That got cheers. Then I stopped midway, and proceeded with a spell that required different actions from each arm. The effect was my chest began to glow, and the glow spread out to the arms, with the center fading. The wave of light then proceeded down my arms until they reached my hands. At that point, sparks shot out from the bottom of the bracers. Since that was hidden from view, it looked like the sparks came from my hands. The sparks stopped after five seconds. I then lowered my arms and disengaged the mimic function, so I could shake hands. I did briefly re-engage it for a hug or two.

The next day, Arthur called to express his wife's love of the earrings, and that a lot of people asked about it at the premiere. That made me happy.

They hired me to go on tour in that outfit to promote the movie, but the unexpected part was how many trauma doctors asked about my four arm rig. When I was finally done with the promotion tour, I did a secondary tour of cosplay conventions on the weekends. Midweek, I visited a number of trauma wards in full getup, so the patients and doctors could see what is possible with controlled prosthetics. Meanwhile, as I owned the rights, I formed another company and hired the guys that made the rig as the employees. They professionally developed it for medical use, and I invested in the further development of the system.

But that is another story...
