Repopulated Ch. 09

Chapter Nine

She stopped struggling, her breathing moderating. "That was a trip," she sighed, leaning into her lover's arms. "I didn't think I'd get out of there without losing my mind."

"Didn't you?" Jackie asked. "Who am I to you?"

The more critical question remained unsaid, but Kate knew what she was getting at. Had she been changed by the merging process? Twisted into something her lover couldn't understand?

She ran a quick analysis, coming to the rapid conclusion that she didn't know. There were too many variables to consider, and her new consciousness had barely had time to settle.

She rolled her shoulders, giving Jackie a smooth grin. "I'm your girl. The one you chatted up on a hunch and asked out to a meal at a fast food joint. The one who traded you the big pickle for the little one."

Jackie frowned. "You sound like her, but I've never seen you so relaxed. Did you really merge with the aliens?"

Kate nodded, running her hands idly over her lover's shoulders. "That's right. I'm me, but I'm also a Plaxx. I know so much more about them than I did before."

She tilted her head, letting the alien memories scroll through her mind. "The ability to interface with alien species was more an accident of evolution than anything else. On our home world, it was necessary for us to control the more aggressive species for fear that they would accidentally wipe us off the planet."

She stopped her stroking as Jackie became stiff. "When the Slanadorians arrived, we did our best to hide our abilities by using proxies, but they were more canny than we believed. They discovered that we were affected by their psionic crystals and captured some of us for further research."

She laid back in Jackie's grip, grimacing. "Once they had discovered our abilities, they began to breed us wholesale, using us as their enslavers. They controlled us, and in turn, we controlled their victims."

"This cycle continued for a millennia. The Slandadorians built their great empire off our backs, but now they've become lax. They didn't have any idea that the independence of human thought could combine with our intelligence to create new organisms that could break free of their control."

She grinned, her teeth sharp as her tongue hung loose, dripping saliva. "Now, it's time to teach them a lesson. They'll never see us coming before it's too late."

Her eyes blinked lazily, the desire to take the fight to the aliens boiling within her. "But that doesn't mean I'm all about revenge. I want you."

She closed her eyes and shook. "In fact, I'm burning up for you. I can barely contain myself!"

She bit her lip. "I want something even more than that, though. I want you to join me. To become a hybrid being, to merge with the symbiotes, so that we'll never be torn apart again."

A wan smile appeared on Jackie's face as she crushed their bodies together. "When could I ever deny you anything, little pickle? I'm just hoping that this is the right decision."

Her nipples tickled as tendrils expanded from the tip, grabbing onto their counterparts on Jackie's end. Their flesh rippled as their breasts were pulled together, becoming tightly coupled as one.

The tip of Kate's neck slug flipped up at her command, and she seized the end, plugging it into Jackie's slug. "This part is a trip," she exclaimed. "Try to relax, and let them come to you."

"Let them... what?" Jackie asked drowsily, her lips trembling as her eyes slid shut.

She was right where Kate wanted her. Yes!

Hot off her own transformation, she remembered intimately what Doris had done to her, but being on the outside was different. Fortunately, her alien side knew what was required, and she let it take the lead, sending its tendrils through Jackie's nervous system and into her mind.

From there, cramming her thoughts into a little bubble wasn't much of a problem. The tricky part was in finding the hidden intelligences nestled within her lover's mind.

Unlike her, Jackie had resisted their pressure for a long time, and as a result, they had been forced to hide. She would need to trawl multiple different paths of her lover's mind before she even got a whiff of them.

It was only a matter of time, however. They couldn't hide from her forever. In fact, she could detect a trace of their presence within one of these subpassages.

<<Come out,>> she ordered, staring down a tiny tunnel that was about the size of her wrist. <<You're not fooling anyone. Stop pretending.>>

A faint, green glow came from somewhere deep in the tunnel. <<Friend?>> it asked, sounding rather forlorn.

<<That's right, I'm a friend. I've come to bring you together with your other halves. It's time to be whole again.>>

The light rushed towards her, a small, green sphere popping into her thought bubble, spinning her around.

<<Hi, hi, hi!>> it declared joyfully, glowing warm within her gestalt. <<Are you my new keeper?>>

She chuckled. <<No, little one. I'm here to bring you together with the others. Where is your sibling?>>

The orb pulsated, settling down. <<She left with the others. Don't know.>>

Well, that wasn't very helpful. She supposed she shouldn't have expected much out of the breast symbiote. They weren't very intelligent organisms.

Good at their jobs, yes, but not really capable of deep thinking. They worked much better in pairs.

Holding the being within her, she floated down another of the synapse tunnels. There was an overwhelming scent of lust coming from the branch on the right, but she didn't really want to tackle the dick shaped creature until last. It was sure to be rambunctious, and she wanted to be prepared before stepping into that mess.

Its stench permeated the chamber, making it difficult to detect any hint of the others. She paused for a moment, reexamining that thought. It could very well be masking them on purpose!

Groaning to herself, she reoriented her thoughts down the tunnel that smelled the worst. It was quite possible that they were using its pheromones to mask their presence. She was going to have to deal with it first if she had any hope of scraping together the disparate pieces of her lover's mind.

Her own lust was rising, too, making it difficult to stay on target. After this, she was going to give her partner a royal fucking that would rival any tryst that had gone before!

To do that, though, she'd need to survive this without losing herself to desire. Pushing forward, she popped out of the tunnel, stopping in another small chamber.

Her surroundings looked like the rest of the interior of the nervous system - fleshy lumps, with sparks of energy flowing through passing tubes. Reality seemed to ripple in the center of the room, giving her a view of a four poster bed with a crimson comforter.

A nude human woman was sitting on top of a pair of pillows, wearing nothing but skimpy pink lingerie. She turned towards Kate as she approached, giving her a brilliant smile. <<Hello there, little pickle. Are you ready to have your world rocked?>>

Her lips moved, but the words were communicated directly into her mind. She frowned internally, trying to make sense of this scenario. If she took a wrong step, she might hurt her lover, and that would be unacceptable.

She stared at the gap between Jackie's legs, the soft lips of her vagina clearly visible. This was a tempting invitation, no doubt, but she was so horny right now she'd almost fuck anything.

If this was a facsimile of her lover being created by the alien symbiote, Jackie would never forgive her for the betrayal. How should she approach this?

Forming a hand, she patted at the glowing globe sitting inside her chest. Of course.

Her thoughts shifted, recombining into a body that vaguely represented what she looked like before being infested. Her breasts were still huge, her dick dangling as she climbed onto the bed. After merging with the aliens, her mental image of herself had changed quite rapidly.

Setting the green globe against her belly, she gave it a long stroke as she rested against a pillow, taking in the attractive curves of her lover. The orb purred, nestling against her belly like a tiny cat.

<<Tell me,>> Kate projected smoothly. <<How long have you been waiting here for me?>>

The woman shifted her legs, draping one over the other. This had the effect of hiding her pussy, but her breasts jiggled in an enticing manner. Kate's dick sprouted up, rock hard as she studied the dimples around Jackie's nipples. <<Why does any of that matter?>> the woman asked. <<Don't you want me?>>

<<Very much so,>> she replied promptly, gasping as the woman grabbed her erect length, giving it a teasing stroke. <<Before we take this any further, however, I have a few questions.>

Her eyes crossed as heat coiled in her loins, waiting to be sprung. Oh, how she wanted to give in!

The Jackie figure pouted, slipping her fingers off Kate's dick. <<That's no fun. Questions? Is this some kind of quiz?>>

Her expression smoothed as she tugged at a nipple, a hissing breath coming from her mouth. When she looked up, she bit her lip, looking coy. <<Tell you what, we can play a little game. You can ask your questions, but you'll have to figure out whether I'm telling the truth. If you're wrong, we'll keep taking this further, until I get what I want.>>

<<Very well,>> replied Kate, furrowing her brow. <<Let's start with the easy ones, then. Who are you?>>

<<Easy?>> asked the woman, giving her a Cheshire grin. <<I'm Jackie, of course. Who else would I be, silly?>>

Grabbing a pillow, she shoved it under her torso, bringing a hand up to brace her neck. Long, blonde hair dangled over her hand, which she twirled with a finger. <<Now. Truth? Or lie?>>

The green orb in her hands stirred, but she made no indication that she had noticed. It would be simple enough to declare it a lie based on that tell, but this could easily be a trick question, given the possibilities.

This detailed copy of Jackie certainly looked like her, but that didn't really mean all that much. This could be a shallow copy created by her Plaxx in an attempt to trick her. She knew how canny her kind could be.

<<Truth,>> she said definitively, pleased when she noted the look of dismay on the woman's face.

That probably qualified as a half truth, at best, but she didn't appear to want to argue the point. Interesting.

<<Are you a carbon copy of Jackie, created by the Plaxx?>> she asked, shifting away from the woman.

The woman noticed, grimacing as she pressed a hand into her pillow. <<No,>> she said sharply.

This caused Kate to hesitate again. It was vaguely possible that this wasn't a doppelganger, but that didn't seem likely. And if she wasn't technically a copy, she could easily be a reconstruction.

In any case, her question hadn't been specific enough, so the fault was with her. She might as well give it a guess. Hopefully this copy of Jackie would give her a few tries before declaring the game over.

<<You're lying,>> she said, trying to sound confident. <<I don't believe that you're the real Jackie.>>

The woman's lips broke into a smirk. Her vision blurred momentarily, giving her a quick peek at the alien creature beneath.

She wasn't stunned by this, her alien side recording the details without breaking stride. When the vision faded, she was face to face with the woman, their noses touching.

A tongue flicked out, licking at her cheek. <<False,>> she said hungrily, something hard pressing against her belly.

<<I must warn you, if you're wrong again, I'll take you, here and now. Choose your next question carefully.>>

Kate grunted. Didn't these things usually follow the rule of three? She supposed this was probably her fault, as she hadn't nailed down the parameters of this game before starting play.

She just didn't have time for this nonsense, though! The anger within her mixed with her desire, creating a heady brew.

The orb in her hands trembled terribly, whether from fear or desire, she didn't know. Well, if it wasn't a barometer of things to come, she'd just have to figure it out herself.

She found her body already aroused, desire fighting against her control as the anger disappeared. This would probably be the last question, then, one way or another.

Her mouth relaxed into a grin. <<Do you like chocolate pudding?>>

The woman froze, an unreadable expression on her face. Was she afraid that she had been found out?

If this copy didn't know, she'd have to guess, and then Kate would have her. If she lied and told her that she was wrong, she'd also have her. It was the perfect trap.

She stroked the orb, shifting her hips to show off her swollen penis. A thrill ran down through to the tip, her muscles flexing to give it a little jump. Two could play at this game.

<<Well? What's your answer?>>

The woman drew back, a calculating look in her eyes. <<I want to decorate your body with chocolate pudding and eat you whole.>>

Kate hid her triumph, keeping her face mysterious. The woman examined her delicately manicured fingernails. <<I'm bored with this game,>> she declared. <<Why don't we move on to the main course?>>

<<Now, hold on there, >> chided Kate. <<I haven't given my answer yet.>>

She paused dramatically. <<My Jackie would never have said such a thing. She abhors chocolate, to the extent that she gives me any free cookies she gets with chocolate chips in them.>>

The facsimile of Jackie scowled, but she wasn't done yet. <<So let's tally up the facts. The way you acted during the previous questions makes me think that in fact you have never lied to me. That means that you are not a copy of Jackie, as you clearly don't have her memories. >>

Grasping the green orb in both hands, she shifted forward aggressively, lifting it towards the dismayed woman. <<That leads me to my next great deduction - you're an amalgamation of all of her symbiotes. That's why this little guy kept quivering, happy to relax in my arms while you put the moves on me.>>

The facsimile curled up her lip as she poked at the green globe. <<You just had to give the game away, didn't you?>>

Kate thrust it towards her. <<Well? Don't you want to be made whole again?>>

She took the orb reluctantly, looking at it as though it was a bug. In return, the orb rippled happily, glowing a cheerful green as it chirped.

Feeling uncertain, a crawling concern trickled up Kate's back. This wasn't going the way she had intended. There was something she was missing.

She studied the form of the doppelganger, taking in her curves. Jackie, but not Jackie. Her, but not her.

Ah. Acting on a hunch, she scooted closer, trapping the woman's legs with her own. The green globe was squeezed between them as their large breasts bounced off each other. The fake Jackie frowned as she took in her newfound amorousness.

<<I don't get it. First, you didn't want to do it with me, but now you do? Why don't you just take the win and get out of here?>>

<<Because that's exactly what you want,>> purred Kate. <<It took me a long time to figure you out, but now I understand.>>

She leaned in and gave the woman a kiss. Her body jumped, shock on her face as she dropped the green orb.

It didn't matter, as the small creature was trapped between them as Kate advanced further, reaching out to touch her shoulders. <<You did your best to distract me, but now I know what's going on. There's nowhere to hide. You can't protect her any more. She doesn't need your protection. Release her to me.>>

The doppelganger started to look worried. <<I don't know that I can,>> she said, her body trembling. <<She wants to be safe, to be protected, and I gave her what she wanted. Unless she lets go, there's nothing more I can do to help her.>>

<<Certainly,>> nodded Kate. <<She has to choose to be more. To become one with you, but she's conflicted. She wants to be free, but she doesn't know if joining with you will destroy her.>>

She sighed, her bosom rising. <<But I've just been through it, and I feel better than ever! What can I do to convince her that I'll love her just as much after her transformation as before?>>

The doppelganger's eyes shifted back and forth. <<I don't know. If I did, I'd tell you, damnit!>>

Her image twisted, revealing the alien body beneath. This was the opportunity she had been looking for!

She jumped in, grabbing the woman's breasts. <<I'm not letting you get away from me this time!>> she declared, pressing her hips into the alien's mons.

Her turgid length tapped at the doppelganger's pubic bone, eliciting a rough moan from her lips. A cool, black lust was in her eyes as her lips gaped wide. <<I'm so tired of this,>> she declared. <<Take me. Ravage me.>>

<<As you desire,>> projected Kate darkly, visions of erotic sex positions bouncing between them. <<But before I do that, you have to promise me something.>>

<<What's that?>> groaned the alien woman, craning her neck as her breasts bobbed in Kate's hands.

<<Stop protecting her. I want to see the real woman. To embrace her body and convince her that she's mine.>>

The Jackie creature shook, a look of rapture on her face as she grabbed at the green orb, which was cheering in glee. A blue aura appeared around both of them, a bright flash filling the room.

The image of a lingerie clad woman instantly vanished, replaced with the alien body she had gotten intimately used to over the last couple of weeks. Jackie laid back, sighing as she crashed her head into the pillow.

<<You just can't leave me alone, can you?>> she asked, staring up at the ceiling.

<<No, I can't. And stop acting so churlish. You did agree to this.>> Kate wrapped a hand around her shoulder, pulling her in tight. <<Though, I suppose, I ought to be charitable. One can't always control what the heart wants.>>

Jackie glanced her way, looking off to one side. <<No, one can't.>>

She let out a long breath. <<What do you see in me, anyway? I've caused so many problems.>>

Oof. She looked ridiculously kissable when she was being petulant! Kate's dick stirred as she ran a hand over her lover's shoulder.

<<Problems?>> she echoed, her mental voice dark. <<Why would you say that? Everything you've done up to this point has been perfectly logical. If my personality was slightly different, I might have done the same.>>

Tiny tears slipped from Jackie's human eyes, drizzling down the armored diamond plate of her face. <<You're being too kind,>> she said softly.

<<No, I'm being selfish, >> she replied, nudging her shoulder. <<I need you to accept your symbiotes so that we can have hot, wet sex together and forget about our emotions.>>
