"The Wounded Savior (Part 1)"
By Darfix
"Miss, I do not want to fight you, I merely seek to see that my friend is okay. I know he went this way. I truly mean you know harm..." Kyotsu speaks softly in an attempt to come to a diplomatic agreement with the bold fem Zigzagoon.
"Look, I cannot let you passed. I'll make your options simple for you. Turn around, walk away...or fight," she speaks, swishing her tail as she glares at him in a pretty serious manner.
"...well, if that is the way it has to be," Kyotsu replies, taking a deep breath. It seems as though he is turning his body, but he turns in a full circle rapidly and fires an Ember in her direction!
Immediately the Zigzagoon catches his swift movement and leaps out of the way into some brush, disappearing into the darkness. Kyotsu sweeps his head in her direction and listens carefully for any sounds. He highly doubted that she would retreat, however, to test this theory he pivots his ears in the direction she fled while taking a few steps towards the path she was guarding.
The forest is dead silent, which causes the Vulpix to remain fairly nervous despite the fact he had an elemental advantage over the female. She couldn't use any elements against him that he knew of and with his advantage of breathing fire; he quickly became pretty confident in an inevitable victory.
Suddenly a twig snaps and he darts his gaze off in the said direction, leaving his backside open. As he readies a Flamethrower to flush out his enemy, a funny feeling engulfs his body. It was an infatuating feeling and it hit like a double-decker bus! He is rendered temporarily powerless as the Zigzagoon, Edge, emerges from the cover of the darkness and vegetation.
"Good boy," she speaks, smirking a bit as she runs her tail under his snout, allowing the musky scent of her raccoon body to fill his vulpine nostrils. For the time being he was hers.
Meanwhile, Niktsu found himself running lower on time and still presented with a determined Seviper ready to keep him at bay. The Flareon can already feel the cocktail of blood and toxins dripping from his cheek and onto the ground, soiling the dead leaves on the narrow path.
He still had a friend to save and he had taken the entire scythe-like ear of an Absol to the chest before. He could surely lick the poison of a Seviper for some time at least. His actions catch Cyanide off guard, as by now the snake figured he had won.
Niktsu wastes no time firing a Fire Blast in the serpent's direction and at the same time leaping back in attempt to avoid any counter attack that may be coming his way. His paws swiftly hit the ground and take hold to keep his balance as his eyes focus on the legless Pokémon's attempt to avoid the five arm stream of molting hot flame.
Cyanide was of course caught off guard, not expecting Niktsu to pull off such a feat in his condition. The large serpent is far too sluggish to avoid the hit and takes it almost directly, the entire lower side of his body being scorched by two of the arms of the fire attack. The snake hisses in pain and curls up in a fetal position as if nursing his wounds.
The display is next to pathetic to the rapidly exhausting Flareon. Not trusting the snake to be down for the count he makes hesitant steps in his direction, keeping his fire breathing muzzle fixed on the beast as he does so.
Cyanide slithers and coils up in pain, his actions looking to be death throes, but Niktsu wastes no time getting to the point, for he had none to spare.
"Alright, beastâ�"where's my friend, Darfix?" he demands firmly, staring down at Cyanide though keeping out of reach of his tail.
Immediately laughter escapes the snake's throat, "Puhâ�"you think I will tell you? Not only are you an incapable interrogator, but you do not have the time needed to get me to talk, hehe."
"Fine then, I guess I'll just kill you before your toxins take hold, hmm?" the Flareon questions quickly, drawing a breath of flame in a rather convincing manner.
Cyanide frowns in an uncertain manner, "...if you kill me you won't know where he is..."
"I'll take my chances..." Niktsu retorts quickly.
"Oy, fine! Spare meâ�"that damn Eevee is down this path near the river...he's with a Poochyena, but I assure you he'll be upset that you're interrupting his pleasure..." he serpent responds, coughing a bit as the pain catches up with him.
"If you're full of it I'm coming back for you..." Niktsu insist as he takes a bit of a half circle around the downed snake and proceeds forward.
Cyanide grins as Niktsu passes him, "I highly doubt that..."
Meanwhile, Niktsu's less than significant other, who had been following her nose for some time, accidentally stumbles on the party waiting for Kyotsu and Darfix to return.
Konya had already slowly drifted off to sleep, while Subaki and Litivia promptly notice the approaching Mightyena.
Tiasha sighs a bit and sits down next to the girls upon arrival, saying nothing.
After a period of uneasy silence, Litivia finally asks, "...where's Niktsu?"
Tiasha huffs a bit and lies down, her head on her paws, "Who cares, I'll worry about that when I feel like it...what about you? Where are the others?"
Litivia sighs a bit, "...Kyotsu went off to find Darfix, but neither have returned yet. I am hoping they just decided to take shelter somewhere for the night..."
Tiasha shrugs and closes her eyes, "It'll be our concern after I get some needed sleep..." and with that said the Mightyena doses off, leaving Subaki and Litivia to worry what happened to their friends.
"Come on, "foxy"..." Edge teases her victim; keeping her tail just ahead of his nose as she leads him to a more southern portion of the same river Darfix and Skylia were on. "I've got something to show you..." she insists, bringing the infatuated Kyotsu to the water's edge. Edge's Attract apparently was as potent as an Arbok's venom; he was having a hard time combating temptation. It did not help she kept giving him a fresh dose every time he started to slip away from her grasp.
"Come on, just a little further..." Edge teases, stepping slowly into the shallow portion of the river. It is ice cold, but she manages.
Now of course, Vulpixes cannot handle water in high dosages, but when your head is literally on someone's hind section, it isn't easy to keep in focus with logic and the obvious. He follows her, wide eyed and bushy tailed, his mind focused purely bellow the tail.
Edge knows exactly what she's doing, however. Without having to soil her own paws she would get rid of the pest with ease. Making an innocent maneuver to avoid a deep portion of the river where the water is rough enough to pull a small Pokémon away in the current, she proceeds to egg Kyotsu on, doing well to manipulate her tail so he misses the same route she took. His next step causes him to loose his footing and he ends up taking a dive into the deep part of the river. The current is too strong and he is easily swept down stream!
The water snaps him out of his lust long enough to exhale a few mumbled words of confusion as he disappears from Edge's sight.
With a bit of a sigh that it had to come to that, Edge merely turns tail and retreats back to shore to shake her fur dry. She knew that her methods were drastic, but necessary to remove the one she was assigned to prevent from reaching her target.
Upstream some ways, the male Eevee was quickly falling to the fact that he had no choice but to plant his seed in this Poochyena. She was already interested in him for his "brave" act to save her from the cage. To top it off she had just took a peek of his growing erection. Darfix could not think long about mating before it made him significantly aroused and Skylia was getting a first paw experience of this.
"...Darfix?" Skylia finally speaks to break the awkward silence, "I know we have only just met, butâ�"if you did what you did to be with me and weâ�"did do what I am to do with Takashu, you would be saving me from being his mate. I don't love him, I don't think I could...I don't want to ask but I will freely offer myself to you now. Weâ�"could be mates..." she whispers, leaning in hesitantly to lick him on the nose, "...lovers," she adds, gazing longingly into his eyes.
The Eevee's chest is now pounding violently as he gazes into her gorgeous eyes while she offers herself to be his. His mind wanders at the speed of a super computer and just as he opens his maw to respond, a voice interrupts his answer.
"Darfix!" shouts Niktsu's voice as the Flareon, now losing feeling in some of his body, pads up to the couple with a bit of a hobble.
Darfix clenches his teeth and breaks away from Skylia turn his head to Niktsu, "Tsu? Whatâ�"happened to you?" he asks, noticing the funny way the Flareon walked.
"Iâ�"was about to ask you the sameâ�"and why you two look like you're about to shove each other's tongues down your throats?" the Flareon questions, coughing a bit as he collapses before the two would-be love birds.
Skylia at once gasps and rushes to the Flareon, nosing his wound gently. As if she knew this wound well or for whatever reason, she immediately barks for Darfix to fetch a Pecha berry off a bush nearby. "It's just at the water's edge there, pick one and bring it to me fast!"
Darfix does not question her and rushes for the bush to snag a Pecha berry from the bush and rushes over to the Poochyena and Flareon, dropping the berry down in front of Niktsu. Darfix then backs away silently, feeling he would leave Skylia to her work.
The Poochyena delicately picks the berry up in her muzzle between her front teeth and sets it within Niktsu's muzzle, effectively sharing a light kiss as it were. She pulls back and releases the berry in his maw. As if Niktsu knew what it was, he begins to chew and swallow it, keeping his gaze on the young Poochyena while doing so.
The effects would take some time to show results, but already Niktsu relaxes as he feels the berry's powers take effect at eliminating the toxins flowing through his blood stream. All he can manage to stifle at that moment is a weak, "Thanks..."
Skylia at once smiles, though hides a tiny blush as well from the way they touched maws. She turns to Darfix and backs away to allow the Flareon to heal, "He'sâ�"a friend of yours?" she asks curiously, tilting her head to the side as she asks her question.
"...yes," the Eevee replies hastily, glancing at the wound Niktsu had on his cheek. Though his curiosity was sparked in finding out what happened to his friend, he at the same time respected Niktsu's condition and desire to gain some rest in order to let the wound heal. This left him in an awkward position with Skylia just to his side. After what almost happened, in a way he sort of owed Niktsu for his surprise visit.
"Well, um..." he trails off a little bit in a feeble attempt to sound calm though he had just had his hormones risen to a fever pitch and then forced to drop in an instant.
Skylia however, seems calm. She flicks her tail against Darfix' and flashes a cool smile, "Well, perhaps we should get some rest..." she speaks persistently, "We can talk more of theâ�"ordeal, tomorrow after each of us gains some ample rest..."
Darfix, though grinding his teeth a little, replies with a nod.
"...we'll be able to concentrate better on the matter at paw..." she adds, blushing again and turning to look away slightly.
This is where Darfix' sense of right and wrong begins to eat away at him. She was such a sweet girl, an innocent girl. Sure, knocking her up would save her from her designated mate, but at the same time he'd be ruining three lives. His own, his mate's, and Skylia's. Could he really allow himself to do it even for the sake of debt repayment? What would Yukon do to Destiny if he didn't? Such things could only be answered by trial and error...
