Spark the Runner Ch. 04

For the first time he could remember, he saw tears forming in Tonya's eyes. She reached up, confused, and wiped her eyes.

If I am so very happy, she asked, why are my eyes watering?

Oh, my God, she's done it... he realized. Helena. She's transitioned to human... superhuman... holy shit...

Spark didn't try to answer. He just walked over to her and took her in his arms.

"Welcome to the human race," he whispered in her ear. She suddenly clung to him like a drowning woman. She was crying, but it was happy crying. He could feel the energy pouring off her. And right then, he wasn't going to say or do anything other than hold her and let her get it out.

He wasn't sure how long they stood like that, until the emotions subsided. They eventually did, and Tonya eased up on clutching him. They slowly separated, but only enough so that Spark could lean down and kiss her... a kiss which she returned softly at first, then more urgently as different emotions welled up. She was all over the map with her feelings, but she decided right away that she could trust this man and this bitch to have her back... that she could be vulnerable with them and still be safe.

They were still standing in the kitchen, kissing, when Leeanni returned.

Awww... that is so cute, Leeanni commented in that universally annoying teenage way. I am sorry to interrupt, and... we need to get you to their Majesties. Though you should probably take a moment to straighten up.

Spark and Tonya struggled to do that... to get the distance they needed to get their game faces on... but they did, and it was inside of ten minutes later that the three Solarians were being guided by Leeanni down the tunnel -- "street" as Spark thought of it -- to a small waiting vehicle just large enough for six.

As they rode along, Leeanni addressed them.

They know who you are... your original names, Spark, and Tonya Levin... and they also know you prefer Jamie and Elizabeth McLeod, so that is how you will be addressed. Okami is obviously just Okami. It will be just the six of us. The guards will be sent from the room. Their Majesties will be direct. They will greet you, but then they will expect you to demonstrate this amazing ability you have with sex. I believe they still think you will need to have active relations with them. They will be prepared for that. I am being granted the honor of being present during your interview, but you must act as if I am not there. Your entire attention must be on them. Do you understand?

We do, Spark answered. We believe we are ready.

I believe you are ready, too, Leeanni smiled, then lapsed into silence for the rest of the ride.

Their vehicle pulled into a short tunnel, like a docking bay, whose opening was closed by a large plate descending to block it off after they were in. There were four guards in the heavy armor of the previous cadre, but these carried elongated sticks... some sort of weapon, Spark guessed.

Our escort, Leeanni thought to the others as they debarked. It is not a long walk to their Majesties' private quarters.

The group moved along at a steady pace and soon were standing outside a doorway flanked by a couple more guards. Leeanni identified herself and her party and they were passed through, their escort staying behind.

Simple, but elegant, Spark thought to himself as they entered a vestibule. Same kind of drapery Erliss had. And the ambassadors, come to think of it. Must be cultural... Such were his thoughts as Leeanni guided them to a larger room with several couches, very much in the Crescian style. He noted that two of them were on a slightly raised dais near the center of the room. There were half a dozen Crescian men and women standing around, regarding the newcomers with curiosity. None looked particularly King- or Queen-like.

Let's be seated, Leeanni directed them, moving to a long, low couch with ample room for all four of them. Spark, Tonya and Okami just followed along, taking their cues from Leeanni. They had been seated for perhaps five minutes with no one saying anything when the attention of the servants or courtiers -- that's what Spark had decided they were -- was drawn to heavy curtains near the back of the room.

Leeanni stood up and the others didn't need an explanation. They stood as well, as two very old looking Crescians entered, moving slowly arm-in-arm to a pair of couches on the dais.

Whoof! Tonya thought to Spark, and thus Okami, on the microband. They were not exaggerating.

She was referring to the Crescian male's loincloth, which extended below his knees by a good ten centimeters.

Horse, Okami thought back.

Don't sweat the loincloth, Spark told them. I'm already hard from her scent and she's still better than seven meters away. She spreads her legs and I'm toast.

I will ask you about the idiom later, husband, Tonya came back. For now? Concentrate.

I'm trying, I'm trying... was all Spark could tell her.

Very. Okami couldn't resist. But if it's any consolation, she has me leaking.

The Solarians noticed that as the King and Queen ascended the dais, the Crescians bowed their heads. They decided to do so, also, as a sign of respect.

Once the King and Queen were seated, Gimloff -- the King -- turned to the nearest courtier and apparently thought something directly to him. He, in turn, turned to the others and shortly thereafter the entire group trooped out the back way, through the heavy curtains. Then the King turned to the Solarians.

Greetings, Guests, they heard his bass voice in their heads. I am King Gimloff and this is Queen Ibsonna. We are apprised that you are familiar with telepathic communications and are not offended by it.

That is true, Your Majesty, Spark answered. Leeanni had referred to them as Majesties, so he figured he was safe doing the same. Plus, he wanted to establish himself as spokesperson for the group.

Greetings, Leeanni, they heard the Queen's alto voice, very much like Saelass'. We hope your parents are well.

They are, Your Majesty. Spark noted Leeanni was keeping it short and sweet. They send their best wishes.

We invited you here, now, to evaluate the rumors we have heard concerning your prowess in things physical and metaphysical, the King forged ahead, straight to business. It is our understanding that in the process of seeking trade relations with the Solarians, our agents met and befriended you three whom they ascertained to possess the necessary credentials to act as Trade Representatives on behalf of the Solarians. They also determined that you are possessed of remarkable sexual abilities and do not shy away from intimate contact with Crescians.

We understand that you are each powerful in your own right, Queen Ibsonna interjected, but that additionally you are a symbiote. Coupled, your abilities are allegedly 'off the charts' as Ambassador Saelass has indicated. We are interested in a demonstration of those abilities. Do you have a problem with a 'command performance'?

We do not, Your Majesty, Spark answered. We are at your disposal, whenever you wish.

How about now? the King asked bluntly.

Spark took a breath and let it out. This is what they had talked about and why they had tried a test run with Leeanni. He knew Tonya and Okami would follow his lead.

Certainly, Your Majesty, he started. May I first introduce my companions and myself? I am called Jamie McLeod and I am a Solarian human. I am also known as a Wirehead, which means I have had certain cybernetic enhancements made to make it easier for me to use my natural abilities when processing the datasphere. My wife, next to me, is Elizabeth McLeod, usually known as Lizzie. She is a metahuman with strong connections to the entire biosphere, as well as some not-so-trivial abilities with the datasphere. Okami, on the end, is a Solarian Canilupe... in effect, a crossbreed between humans, dogs and wolves, with some extraterrestrial genetic thrown in, just to make everything interesting. She also has strong connections to the biosphere, and her heightened senses -- because of her lupine side -- are very helpful to us.

Professionally, we are investigators who are contemplating a radical career change. We discovered our strong physical and metaphysical bond as our relationships grew more intimate. You are right that we have become a symbiote and together can be fairly powerful.

Leeanni has already experienced some of our abilities and has survived healthy and whole. I would invite you to ask her opinion. I point this out because we would ask you to trust us to give you the experience of a lifetime, knowing that no harm would befall you.

Spark paused to see how this was going over. Apparently, well.

Leeanni? the Queen asked so that all could hear. Your opinion? Spark held his breath.

Your Majesty, the sexual experience they can offer is cosmic in its intensity, Leeanni responded almost with reverence. It was perfect bliss and I felt as one with the Universe. I cannot imagine how wonderful it will feel once I have completed my Transition, but I so very much want to try it. You will not be sorry, Your Majesties.

The King and Queen regarded Leeanni for a long moment before turning back to Spark.

How do we proceed? the King asked. Spark let out the breath he'd been holding.

You make yourselves comfortable, he answered. There may be some thrashing around. In Leeanni's case, we had a very large bed for her to enjoy herself without getting hurt. My companions and I will then enter a sort of meditative state and shortly thereafter, you will reap the rewards.

The King and Queen both looked at each other for several moments, then stood, walked to the sides of the dais and waited while it retracted and slid out of the way, revealing what Spark took to be a bed about four meters across.

Will this be sufficient? the King asked.

Perfect, Spark answered. Please get comfortable. We will be standing at the foot of the bed.

Husband, you are awesome, Spark heard on the microband transceivers. He didn't respond. He was too fascinated by Gimloff removing his loincloth and Ibsonna removing her light wrap. They may have been old, but they were impressive!

Soft -- or semi-hard, Spark wasn't sure which -- the King had to be fifty centimeters, at minimum. And the Queen's honey was already glistening on her thighs. The pheromone laced scent was almost tripping Spark over. He was struggling to keep his orgasmic response in check.

Perhaps some assistance, he heard Tonya's gentle voice and almost immediately after felt some sort of shield or block drop in place, reducing the effect of Ibsonna's honey.

How about over here? he heard Okami, and shortly after, thank you...

Let's form up, Spark thought to the others and took a position near the end of the bed. The others joined him and they joined hands, just as they had with Leeanni. Spark was marginally aware that Leeanni was sitting on the floor over near the couch.

Shall I include our friend? Tonya asked. Spark decided why not?

Leeanni, please get comfortable on the bed, out of their Majesties' way, he thought to her. You are in our sphere of influence and we do not want you to get hurt. The grin that lit her face was almost human as she scurried to get on the bed.

Your Majesties, please relax, Spark told them. We will be starting our meditation.

Okay, wife, Spark smiled with his head down and eyes closed. You have the conn.

"Ommm Mani Padme Hummm... Ommm Mani Padme Hummm... Ommm Mani Padme Hummm..."

The rhythmic chant again filled the room and this time attracted their Majesties' attention, as well as putting a smile on Leeanni. The gently hypnotic lilt drew them towards the energy. Tonya made sure she had a solid read on the old Crescians' life energy patterns, and Leeanni's as well. When Tonya was sure she had everything she needed, she opened the lock.

Just as with Leeanni the first time, the Crescian's eyes shot wide open like huge saucers... two of Ibsonna's hands grabbed her chest... two hands grabbed her groin... and she started shaking just as Leeanni had done, while her milk sprayed high into the air like a fountain and her honey sprayed the bed. Gimloff's cock shot straight up and he grabbed it with two hands while he spurted his jism a good three meters into the air. His other two hands were busy hanging on to the bed as he violently spasmed, thrusting hard over and over and over.

Leeanni was simply lying there, shaking and cumming, just as she had done before, fondling her sensitive nipples and pudenda. Her eyes drifted closed and she wore a huge grin.

Tonya let it run until Gimloff's spurts were only half a meter or less and Ibsonna's milk and honey spray had reduced to weak dribbling. To her senses, they had not passed out, yet, but they were close. Tonya wanted to draw out the pleasure until just short of when they couldn't stand it. Then she became aware of her companions.

The blowback of libido from the Crescians had crashed into them and shielded or not, they were whelmed by the massive wave. They were repeatedly climaxing and barely managing to stay on their feet, holding on to Tonya to keep their balance. Spark was down to dry cums and Okami was continuously shaking. Tonya decided she needed to fix that. She needed Spark and Okami's support.

Keeping the Crescians on a low boil, Tonya ran the others' chakra lines, isolating their firsts and seconds, putting dampers around them to mitigate the effects of the libido tsunami. It took awhile, but eventually Spark and Okami were breathing easier and getting some strength back. Finally, when Tonya judged Spark and Okami could act somewhat normally, she turned her primary attention back to the King and Queen.

A gentle slide into unconsciousness seemed appropriate to her, so with a few aftershocks to wind it up, she let the Crescians go, breaking her connections to the life energy and letting them pass out. She did the same for Leeanni while she was at it. Once the Crescians were out, she turned to her friends.

"They will be out of it for a while, husband," she addressed Spark. "What is next?"

"Oh, my fucking God..." was what he managed to get out. "Let me sit down before I fall down."

"Certainly. Okami?"

"Ditto."

"Alright, then... let us return to the couch we were on." So saying, she assisted Spark and Okami to regain their seats.

"I don't know what you did, Lizzie. I don't know that I want to know. But whatever it was... Oh, my God!"

"It was simply unlocking the program as we did with Leeanni," Tonya explained. "Only more so."

"I didn't know you could kill someone with libido," he groaned. "I feel like you ran my testicles through a wringer."

"You will recover, as will Okami. You simply need to sit and rest and calm down. Your body will return to normal. Mostly."

"Mostly?"

"Mostly. You may remain a bit engorged. Stretched, as it were."

"Wonderful..."

And so it was that the King and Queen of the Crescians, and the daughter of a pair of their ambassadors, regained consciousness to find the Solarians sitting demurely on a couch, observing them.

* * * * *

You have given us one of the high points of our lives, King Gimloff explained to the three Solarians. We understand now why Krisslum and Saelass were so adamant that we meet with you. We certainly are willing to accept you as the Trade Representatives from Sol. We expect you to meet with our advisors and work out whatever details are necessary. We will assign Leeanni as your liaison. Any questions or concerns not directly addressed by our advisors should be addressed to her. She will have our ear.

In three days, a large Trade Council meeting begins. You may have been apprised of it. If you confirm that you desire to represent the Solarians, we would like to formally introduce you to those who trade with us. The timing is fortuitous. All of the major participants will be there.

We certainly desire to be the Solarian representatives, Your Majesties, Spark answered. We will need to appoint others to work on our behalf, of course. I see no insurmountable problems.

Then we will return you to the tender ministrations of our young Leeanni. May Good Fortune lead your way and Happiness surround you.

Live long and prosper, Spark thought back. Leeanni tugged on his sleeve, indicating they should leave.

On the way back to their apartment, Tonya asked Leeanni, would it be possible to meet with the Arcasian Trade Representative sometime soon?

Why do you want to meet with a succubus? Spark interjected. To his mind, that's what the Arcasians most closely resembled. Simply put, they scared him.

Hush a moment, husband, Tonya thought back. Leeanni?

Not too difficult. If I put in a meeting request as soon as we are back to your quarters, I can probably get a meeting before the big meeting starts. Everyone is anxious to get to know you.

Thank you, Leeanni, I would appreciate it if you would do just that. Get me a meeting with the Arcasians.

"And to answer your question, husband," she turned to him and vocalized, "I have discovered the Arcasians have a technology which, when logically extrapolated, could genetically alter you, and Okami, to have a nominal lifespan of two thousand years. Or more. I want to meet with them about that possibility."

Spark looked dumbstruck. "Two thousand years?" he managed to ask, incredulously.

"Yes," Tonya told him. "Mean time to failure. If I am going to rule, I am not going to rule alone."

"And by the way," she added to his shocked silence, "I am pregnant."

*~*~*~*~*

Author's end note: the story of Spark, Tonya and Okami has reached its logical stopping point, although the lives of the characters are just beginning. Someday, there may be more to their story. There may not. But for now, this is the end of the story. Just so it gets said, like last time, Geeks Rule! Even us Dinosaurs. I hope you enjoyed this tale in its entirety. Cheers.
