Penny the Conqueror Ch. 02

Penny would go and gaze up at the stars some nights, wondering when her love would return. It had been almost a year since she last saw Vitala.

She had quit her job right after her return, thinking she did not want to leave any loose ends. She had been turning down offers to go out with men as well, even for little events she was hoping to try.

Penny found out that trying to sell gold bullion was more difficult than she had presumed. Vitala left her with an estimated two million in ingots. Apparently, people needed to know who smelted it and what the source was before they could sell it on the open market. She finally found a dealer that wasn't so nosy, and she was able to sell it all off within six months. They kept a tidy commission, and Penny had to pay a decent amount in taxes.

She suddenly had a great deal of money, but had no desire to spend it. Penny pondered that if she was away on some trip or out partying, and Vitala returned, she would miss her chance. She was starting to feel trapped in her own home.

It was after Penny's 26^th birthday, and her friends had invited her out to St. Brogan's Pub and Grill for dinner and drinks. She decided she could be out for one night, and got herself fixed up and ready to go. The girls got a few drinks into them and went through plate after plate of ribs.

After a few hours, Penny got a cab home, then made her way up to her apartment. She pulled off her shoes, then went right into her bedroom and laid down. It only took a few minutes before she conked out.

Penny woke up to pitch black, and looked at her alarm clock. 3:32 am. She dropped her head again and closed her eyes.

"Penny Leighton?"

Penny smacked her lips a few times. "Mmm."

"Penny Leighton," the voice said again. "I am sorry to disturb your sleep."

Penny smiled with her eyes closed, then her mouth went wide as she had her eyes fully opened. She scrambled up and turned on the desk lamp.

There she was in the soft glow of the lamp light. Vitala was wearing what looked like a full-length flight suit and her hair tied back. Penny's eyes focused enough to see the cute freckles all over her nose and face. She was squatted down near the bed.

"Vitala!" Penny jumped out of the bed and gave Vitala a huge hug, then gave her a big kiss on the lips. She was near tears at this point.

"Penny, I must ask for your help again," Vitala explained. "You must return with me."

"Are we going to Shaskala?" asked Penny excitedly.

"We do not have time," Vitala responded. "I have been assigned to act on behalf of our government. Our supply of crystallized tungsten is in jeopardy. It's complicated to explain, but we require it for our slipstream drives. We are several years from creating a synthetic form."

"Let's just go!" Penny got up off the floor and pulled Vitala to her feet. "I got you something!"

The two of them were able to get to Penny's storage locker. Penny had stocked up with several more bags of the filter sand that Vitala wanted from before. Vitala gave Penny a huge hug, then the two of them loaded up the shuttle. Vitala had the shuttle modified so that it would make sufficient transformations to look more like an Earth vehicle while it was landed.

The two of them climbed aboard as Vitala had the shuttle take off. This time, Penny got to see the shuttle leave Earth. She held her breath as the vessel punched up through the ionosphere and got into proper space.

"We will arrive soon at the gas giant you refer to as Jupiter," Vitala explained.

A communications message came in. "Trader, we are sorry, but the pod bay doors are malfunctioning."

"How long until repairs are completed?" asked Vitala through her headset.

"One-quarter Earth day, ma'am," the voice replied.

Vitala pushed her lips together. "Keep me apprised. Vitala out." She cut the transmission.

"Uh oh," Penny said. "What do we do now?"

"I will pilot us out to maintain orbit near one of the moons," Vitala replied. "I am interested in the one referred to as Ganymede. I am intrigued by the sub-ice ocean there."

Vitala piloted the craft there and established a stable orbit. She got her harness undone, and Penny did the same.

Penny got a devilish smile. "So what do you want to do for six hours?"

"Oh, Penny Leighton!" Vitala clapped her hands together. "Have you not experienced a non-gravity environment?"

"You can turn off the gravity?" Penny's eyes went wide. "Cool!"

Vitala went to the panel and turned off a switch. Penny found herself drifting up near the ceiling of the shuttle. The bags of sand were safely stowed in the cargo hold, or otherwise they might have found several bags of sand bumping into them.

Penny tried to swim in the air, finding it was more difficult than imagined. Vitala had far more training. "Look! There are handles on the ceiling to grasp onto."

Penny eventually floated up, and held onto one of the handles for anchoring. "This is so amazing!"

Vitala smiled, then made her way over to Penny. The two of them embraced and kissed each other. Penny got her legs wrapped around Vitala's waist.

"Let's do it in zero gravity," Penny suggested.

Vitala smiled widely, then unzipped the front of her jumpsuit. Penny got out of her own clothes, still trying to hang onto the handle at the same time. She eventually got out of everything, floating there naked.

Vitala got out of her suit, then took off her undershirt. Her tits were floating freely, and Penny watched them jiggle without the assistance of gravity. "That's so awesome!"

Vitala got close to Penny and kissed her intensely. Penny grabbed a handful of Vitala's boob as they sucked and panted. Penny pulled away, then let her hips float upward. Vitala took the cue, holding onto both of Penny's thighs, then dove in. Penny squeezed her eyes shut as she held onto a ceiling handle with both hands.

Vitala slurped away. She had a tender tongue that could get into everywhere. Penny gasped and moaned as she floated there. She might very well have been the first human to get fucked in space!

Vitala gave a few more tongue flicks on Penny's clit, then she grabbed onto the ceiling handle above her. She moved her hips up so that she could scissor in with Penny. The two of them bumped doughnuts with great intensity. "Oh my God, girl!" Penny was losing it now. As much as she loved the gentle kisses of Vitala's labia on her own, watching the rhythmic jiggle of Vitala's body was so erotic.

After a few minutes of doing the grind, the hugged each other as they floated in the zero-gravity environment. "I missed you," Penny whispered. "I would have waited for you forever."

The two of them kissed. Penny got Vitala to spin around, then the two of them did a 69 right in the air. Penny played with Vitala's ass cheeks furiously as she dove into her snatch. Penny felt Vitala's sturdy fingers driving into her cunt, then frigging her into ecstasy. Her mouth refused to cooperate, so Penny did a finger fuck of her own. The two of them stroked each others' velvet until they both came.

Penny floated there as Vitala drifted away. She realized that the viewshield was making them plainly visible. She instinctively covered her boobs.

"Why, Penny Leighton!" Vitala laughed in that deep, vibrant way of hers. "Are you being modest? No one is within viewing distance."

"Oh, yeah!" Penny laughed, then drifted over to the gap between the two seats. She turned herself around and did the best twerk she could in space. "Check it out!"

Vitala watched the spectacle with amusement. "Penny, please engage the gravity. It is the second switch close to your hand. Be sure to brace for touchdown."

Penny held onto one of the seats, then engaged the gravity. It turned on slowly, so she was able to adjust for a landing. Vitala flipped out one of the cots from the wall, then invited Penny to come and lie down with her. Penny spooned into Vitala, while Vitala got them covered with a blanket.

"That was amazing," Penny declared. "Did you ever do that before?"

"We did anti-grav training when I used to fly in the Trade Union," said Vitala, sniffing Penny's hair. "You are becoming quite limber."

"Yeah, I got back into kendo," Penny replied. "It's this Japanese fighting technique where you use a sword. I mostly practised using a shinai. It's a sword made of bamboo. I did it for most of junior and senior high, then I had to give it up for a bit when I went to college."

"You had more free time to pursue your interests," Vitala said as she kissed Penny's shoulder.

"Thanks to you," Penny said, then turned over. Vitala's large boobs were pressed up against her own chest now.

Vitala took the large sapphire hanging from Penny's neck and held it up. "I'm glad you brought this."

Penny's face crumpled with affection. "It means a lot to me."

"I had to hide it," Vitala explained. "This is no ordinary stone, Penelope. It has in it several atoms that are of superheavy origin."

Penny nodded. "The island of stability!"

"You understand, chemist!" Vitala smiled and gave a wink, which made Penny's toes curl. "Within the gem's matrix, there are a great deal of atoms with 121 protons."

"121! That's huge!" Penny looked down at her sapphire.

"I apologize for my deception," Vitala said. "The superlarge atoms can be used for a variety of scientific discoveries. I was worried that if it was discovered, it would be lost to my people." She took Penny's hand and rubbed it up on her own cheek. "Once again, you have saved my planet."

"Oh, there you go again!" Penny laughed as she kissed Vitala's freckly nose. "You set me up. I didn't know this thing was full of these crazy atoms."

"They can only be formed under ideal conditions," Vitala explained. "We can't be sure what happened, but we theorize that the remnants of some star were bombarded by the particle stream of one or more black holes."

Penny yawned. "That's cool." She closed her eyes and snuggled into Vitala. "Let's take a rest."

After a few hours, Vitala made a rendezvous with the main trader ship. After getting safely away from Neptune's orbit, the ship jumped to slipstream.

Vitala had to attend to much of the ship's business. The were headed to a planet called Bok, which was a bit of distance off-course from Shaskala, Vitala's home world.

Penny busied herself with some of the amenities on board the ship. They had a large fitness arena, which Penny used to practice more of her kendo. She also enjoyed taking a dip in the pool. Skimpy attire was encouraged among the crew, and Penny was getting a few eyefuls when she went for a swim. She saw no sign of Desu or Sata on board. Rather than bring up a touchy subject, Penny decided not to ask Vitala.

After ten days, they made it to Bok. To Penny, it looked more unfriendly than a place like Earth. There were a few strips of green, but overall it looked like it was desolate.

Penny was headed to the dining hall for lunch, when the ship was knocked sideways by an explosion. Penny was flung up against a wall. She checked herself for injuries, then stumbled up to get to safety. She could only think to get to Vitala.

Alerts were sounding out throughout the ship. The lights dimmed, with only floor lights showing the way. Penny raced past several crewmen to get to the bridge.

Vitala almost ran smack into Penny. She gripped Penny, then held her by the shoulders. "We have to leave! The ship is under attack, and the slipstream generator is already ruptured!"

The two of them ran to Vitala's shuttle. Some of the crew had abandoned ship already, while some were still trying to put out fires.

"What happened?" Penny was trying to yell over the din.

"We must have been attacked by the Voltan Separatists," Vitala said as she closed the hatch, then got to the control panel. She started up the shuttle, then they lifted off. As they were leaving the cargo bay, the ship shook again. The violent lurch of the ship caught one of the thrusters on Vitala's shuttle.

"The ship is damaged," Vitala reported. "I have to land right now. We would not have had much of a chance of survival, anyway. Look."

Penny peered out the side panel, only to see a squadron of small vessels firing particle weapons at the larger ship. Small explosions were popping up all along the hull.

"Why are they doing this?" asked Penny, watching horrified at the sight. Turrets along the side of the larger ship were doing their best to fend off the attackers.

"The Voltans believe that Bok should not be trading with outside species," Vitala said as she frantically flipped switches. "No, it is no good. I will have to land immediately. We will likely be hundreds of kilometres from our destination. We could not take the chance that Element 121 could fall into the wrong hands, though."

Vitala piloted the shuttle down, then took a scan of the area. "Nothing that would be terribly dangerous. No dust storms." Vitala got out of her harness and went to procure supplies.

"Can't we just stay with the shuttle?" asked Penny.

"I am worried about possible raiding parties here on the surface." She got out her pistol and tucked it into the holster. She was wearing her flight suit, while Penny had on shorts and a T-shirt.

Vitala got radio contact with the ship. Casualties were minimal and no deaths were reported, but the punctures to the hull and damages to the engines would leave the ship dead in space for at least a week. Help had been summoned from Shaskala, which was going to take time to arrive. Vitala had her mind made up to make the trade, even when her ship was in danger of being lost forever.

The two of them made way in the heat of The Scorchlands, the affectionate name given to the arid land they were walking through. Penny plodded along behind Vitala, who seemed to be faring much better. Vitala was so strong and fierce, and Penny felt ashamed that she was so weak by comparison.

The sun was finally starting to set. Vitala scrambled to get the shelter up, warning that it was going to be cold. "The desert does not hold heat well," stated Vitala. Penny helped set up the shelter. Even though they were smelly and dusty from the desert, they made the most of the cramped quarters. The two of them had a glorious fuck out there, with Penny riding on top of Vitala. Despite the uncertainty outside, Penny felt safe in Vitala's arms.

The next morning had them trying to walk early to avoid the midday heat. Penny's stomach was growling. Just yesterday they were living in luxury aboard a spaceship, and now they were stretching their food rations. Penny hated the texture of the wafers in the ration kit, but they were said to be nourishing.

They came across a jagged rock formation when Vitala got them to hold position. She got out her binoculars and had a look, then pulled Penny down to go prone.

"What do you see?" whispered Penny.

"It's a caravan," Vitala reported, still looking out of her binoculars. "They seem to be transporting women in caged wagons."

"How many of them are there?" asked Penny.

"Three of the slavers," Vitala whispered. "Maybe fifteen women."

"We have to stop them," Penny hissed. "They can't just take slaves like this!"

"Penny, we would be putting ourselves in danger," Vitala warned. "This is not our planet, and none of our affair."

Penny put a gentle hand on Vitala's butt. "For me?"

Vitala lowered her binoculars, then stared hard at Penny. "I have an idea."

As the caravan made way through the dusty trail, Penny stumbled out in front and wobbled her legs. "Oh no! I am just a poor maiden in distress! I feel...UGH!" She made the best fainting gesture she could and laid down in the pathway, doing a performance worthy of Plan 9 From Outer Space.

The man driving the train, pulled by four beasts resembling Earth buffalo with six eyes, drew his weapon. "You two go check on her," he commanded. "She don't look like she's from 'round here."

The two other men went to check on Penny. The driver felt something poke him in the back of the head, then someone reach down and take his weapon. "Nobody move," came the voice.

Penny jumped up, then put her hands on her hips. "Not so tough now, are you?"

One of the men pulled out a knife and raised it up. The next thing he knew, the knife and his hand exploded with a burst of a laser. The man pulled his stump down, staring at it, then screamed in terror. The other man dared not move a muscle.

"Hoooooly shit, dude," Penny said, stunned.

"He was making an advance," Vitala replied with a cool tone. She had one weapon pointed at the driver's head and the other at the standing man. "Tie them up."

Penny got the rope from the standing man's belt, then tied up the uninjured man. Vitala tied up the driver and got him off of the cart.

Penny looked over at the man with his bloody stump. "What do we do with him?"

"He will be fine." Vitala knocked the driver to the ground. "Leave them one day of rations each." She took a dull knife and threw it into the ground, then she leaned in to talk to the tied up men. "When your friend has gotten over his shock, tend to his wounds. There is a village east of here. Let us hope that they take pity on you."

The slave girls were all let out of their crude cages. They all looked like young adults, and were certainly pretty. Their species had dark red skin and silver hair.

They took the large supply of provisions and goods and hitched a wagon to two of the beasts. They made way to the north, where one of the women was kidnapped.

Penny and Vitala walked along with the smelly beasts pulling the wagon. "All those women were stolen?"

"Sadly, no," Vitala replied. "Some were sold off. I doubt that they could return home."

"Why is everyone on this planet so backwards?" asked Penny. "I thought these people were, like, flying in space!"

"This planet has a wide divide as far as the technological and educated go," said Vitala. "Many preferred to live out here. Unfortunately it became a chaotic nightmare."

Penny stopped. "Hey, I hear something!" She listened with full concentration. "Water?"

After ten minutes, they came to the rock cliff where a waterfall was pouring out of a crack. All of the women were jumping for joy. They found a pathway down, the small droplets of spray hitting them all the way. They got to the water's edge, then stripped off and jumped in.

Penny watched Vitala staring out at the group of naked hotties splashing in the water. "Hey, you! What are you looking at?"

Vitala giggled. "I just wish to see the ladies getting refreshed."

"Uh huh," Penny growled as she dragged Vitala away. They found a pool farther down with a smaller waterfall.

Vitala hugged Penny close. "I could never find affection with another." The two of them kissed.

"We'll just see about that." Penny ripped off her dusty clothes and ran bare-ass into the water. "Oh, it's just the right temperature!" She turned to look at Vitala, who was unzipping her suit.

"Oh, Penny Leighton," Vitala said as she let her tits fall out. "I wish to make the fuck at you."

Penny laughed heartily as Vitala got stripped off. "You're getting the Earth lingo a bit."

Vitala jumped in with a cannonball as she plugged her nose. She emerged to the water surface and spat out. Penny spent some time getting her hair washed out, then swam over to kiss her girlfriend.

"Penny, are you not worried that someone will see us?" Vitala rubbed Penny's pussy under the water.

"Ooooh, I don't give a fuck," Penny moaned. The two of them locked lips as they tread water. They made their way over to a shaded spot just behind the waterfall. Now they were free to fuck all they wanted. There was a flat wet part of the rock, so Vitala laid down as Penny licked her cunt.

Penny climbed aboard and rode Vitala. The spray from the waterfall was coating their bodies nicely. Vitala held onto Penny's slippery tits as Penny rubbed her hips back and forth. Penny leaned in and kissed Vitala as they rubbed their tits on each other. Penny switched it up so that she got her legs in between Vitala's, then did thrusts.
