All was quiet in the 4 story house. The plain, Chicago antique brick building,
looking out under the "night sky", upon the seemingly endless plain, of gently
blowing green grass, slept soundly. The heliport beside the house not busy...
the skies clean of air traffic. The portal to Macross sector, lain dormant these
many hours, flared for a brief second, and then vanished as was it's hourly
want. Sharing a corner with it the large alt.hentai.sailor-moon portal flared in
response... but nothing came through it of course... possibly there were no cars
driving along the "road" where the portal opened... and none were traveling
either of the sidewalks apparently.

Within the massive house's basement not even the multipurpose robot, Workbot,
was scuttling about engaged in duties. Thyra, the Macross Sector Valkyrie
resplendent in it's blue and silver enamel, wasn't being cleaned polished or
test flown. Jean, the Phoenix Hawk LAM wearing a decadent cascade of green and
white, was just as idle as both rested in their hangers in plane mode. Bins of
armaments waited peacefully while not needed.

Further in cars were neatly tucked into their garages, the garbage bin sat
emptied, the fusion furnace churned out it's energy to the subspace fields at
work in the house, and the security system. It did not notice the slight surge
that was pulled from it to check all of Eldrick's email accounts, but then it
never did.

The Stairs had no feet on them... the sub-spacial elevator linking the floor was
just as calm. The electronic eye of the elevator door could easily see that the
MASSIVE screen in the living room displayed no movies or the like, hentai or
otherwise. Across from the living room the dining room was vacant, as was the
kitchen. The door and doorbell undisturbed.

The Second floor quietly bleeped and blipped to itself as the video games and
the simulator seemed to all be engaged in a massive conversation. The washer and
dryer made no part in the conversation seemingly content to listen. Washuu's
door to the house was unopened, and displayed that she wasn't near either side
of it should anyone suddenly awaken and have need of her -now if she would help
is another question entirely.

The Practice mat was unsullied by foot or body. It's weapons were all in their
places also. The forge around the divider was cold and noiseless.

Skipping the fourth floor for a moment... we have the roof... a telescope of
magnificent power for it's size gazed up at the seldom changing sky... a
hydroponic greenhouse gently metered out nutrients into the flow without
supervision. The Stairs to the fourth floor on the side of the roof were barren
of life.

The Fourth Floor's Deck with it's large pool held no party currently. The
Hallway leading from it held no pedestrians. The perpendicular hallway was
likewise vacant... the computer room... talking to itself -or maybe to all the
ChibiUsa fandom all around it-... the bathroom... quiet and serene... its stacks
of naughty mags untouched for the moment... the girls would likely ravage them
later. And speaking of the girls they were all comfortably asleep all over their
bed... even Gerard was somnolent.

Back at the junction, the door there opens to reveal Eldrick wrapped lovingly
around Ami and Hope wrapped around from behind... the blanket simply showing the
signs of uniform sleep pattern breathing from the three bodies. The Closet door
comfortably holds the clothing for the occupants of the room... and the secret
shrine known to few lies hidden... if oddly barren. Was it robbed? If so the
burglar obviously didn't escape out the other door in the room... that leads
only to a lavatory... and then the master bathroom which is hallway accessible
as previously mentioned.

Who was the thief? How did they get in? How did they get into this space behind
the newsgroup of alt.games.final-fantasy? Are other spaces behind the newsgroups
at risk? Like the store, Cool Devices, behind alt.sex.toys? Or "The Nuthouse"
behind ahs-m - known for it's loud parties and all night newbie created drinking
contests? And is Won Toh's Chinese Buffet on the hit list?

All this was shattered by the doorbell ringing and the security booth in the
attic screeching about an intruder in the dimension.

---

Eldrick stirred slowly. Ami and Hope were already alert and moving quickly. In
Blinding Flashes of Color the pair transformed into combat fuku's and headed up
to the security booth via the attic access door at the top of the spiral
staircase.

"Konei forgot she was supposed to be on duty and probably went off to bed." Ami
said as her hands flew across the keys trying to access the various cameras and
sensors.

"What's going on huh?" Haris popped her head into the access doorway.

"Don't know yet Haris... Konei must have turned off the security system...
nothing is up and running. Any progress Ami?"

"None Hope... not for lack of trying. Got internals up... internals weren't
disconnected."

"What do you mean 'disconnected'? Haris move! I don't think she heard me,"
Charhon prodded Haris's ankle.

"Hey stop that will ya... she heard you fine and is stunned at the thought....
wait... why are you stunned?"

"The... security system is integrated too well... if inside is working outside
should be working."

"Astrala we are going to check the roof," Margo announced hauling her younger
sister along.

"But Margo... Sis... wouldn't simply checking the door be easier?"

"Ardice was already on her way down."

And while all this is happening... Gerard and Konei are still fast asleep from
too much sex by the pool the night before...

"Oh no... that isn't..."

"Oh yeah... that's her..."

"Who? Haris move!"

Haris looked down,"Trust me you don't need to know. Ignorance is bliss. Get
Ardice before she gets on the elevator... fortunately I think Eldrick got into
it first."

"But Who is out there! I must know or I'm not moving!"

"Look here," Hope said as she formed a mirror out of thin air.

Charhon sighed,"Oh dear... I'll catch Ardice," she said as she put words to
action.

"Hi everyone!" Joy said as she materialized... chained to the bed in the
security booth. She tested the restraints,"Ignore the chains they are to keep me
from hurting someone... and by the way... why is..."

Her words were cut off as the action shifted to the door as Eldrick opened it.

=o= =o= =o= =o=

"If you are here to sell me something I'm not..." Eldrick yawned and opened his
eyes a tiny bit," ... interested."

She nearly crushed him in a... hug? "You have to hide me... hide me from him...
he'll get me if I'm out in the open... please you must help me!!!"

"Who."

"He's all mean and vicious and ... lecherous. You have to hide me... please... I
was to be a ... gift... a sacrifice... to him... please you must keep me from
him... if you don't a lot of harmless bickering will turn to a flamewar!"

"You speak of Lossoth?" Eldrick's sober eyes narrowed. "Inside... he can't get
IN here but if he can see you then he'll find a loophole to get you brought out
with."

She wiped tears from her eyes as he slammed the door shut, and set up a field
around the house that would repeat the docile nothing happening view the house
presented when nothing was happening outside of it like a video tape loop on a
security camera. Which by the way is the only quality with which Lossoth can
look into the pocket dimension. And since the field is electronic in nature... L
boy would never know the difference.

"Thank you. You are so kind to one you don't know."

"Shhhh... don't worry about it... Um I was about to have breakfast," he
lied,"Join me?"

"I... I don't know what to say!"

Meanwhile choice words were retorted towards the monitor as to what she should
say.

"I'd be... honored... thank you again Mr. ... um..."

"Eldrick."

"Ah yes... thank you Mr. Eldrick."

He chuckled while inside he panicked," No not Mister, just Eldrick." .o0(What am
I doing? The false charm crap isn't working... I can see it on her face...)0o.

"Oh... how embarrassing... My apologies... Eldrick."

"Apology accepted... shall we?"

"Shall we what?" she blinked.

.o0(Kya!!!)0o. It too a sizable effort to control... himself... and not
nosebleed or worse - she wasn't exactly dressed demurely with her leather
schoolgirl outfit... 2 sizes too small... accenting -for self control issues
mind you- all the wrong places. "Eat," he managed to point at the kitchen.

"Oh yes I'd kind of forgotten... I thought I felt something staring at me."

Eldrick smiled and turned around to walk to the kitchen... manipulating the air
to tie his robe up -something he'd sworn he'd already done. As he cinched it he
said over his shoulder," I'd have offered to take your coat," -a white... lab or
technical coat... he wasn't sure- ," But it's a little cold in here to most
people, and so I figured you'd be warmer with it."

"Oh I found the coat hook myself... I figured you'd forgotten to ask in the
protect and feed rush," She smiled as she caught up to him. He blushed and could
say nothing... as he saw that the back V'd all the way down to her waist... and
a teasingly small bit lower. "Something smells just peachy!"

"Waffles?"

"You mean you don't know? My you were asleep," she giggled.

.o0(I hope Charhon doesn't skin me for letting this stranger eat her
waffles...)0o.

=o==o==o==o=

"Remind me to skin her for touching my waffles... and look she's enjoying them
that that... oh I'll find something to call her in a minute!" Charhon said a few
minutes later as the camera revealed 2 persons below eating HER waffles that
Astrala had made on HER request for HER breakfast.

Haris put down a notepad with many profane names on it,"I'm sure Astrala can
make more if I remember the size of the delivery."

Astrala's sweatdrop happily popped," Oh sure... no problem. I can feed an army
on the amount I bought... I even planned for Ego's love of waffle cones. Where
is he anyway?"

Margo popped her head in,"Getting the riot act. We're all next... they are doing
a MUCH more thorough background check on Eldrick than last time. Hence all the
cloak and dagger... and that woman to keep him distracted. They want totally
non-Eldrick influenced answers... end quote."

Ardice sighed gustily," Just great..." she thumb padded a now working exterior
camera around to get a good look," They could interrogate a large planet with
all of that... I just wish we could tell Eldrick she's a sham."

"Noninterference is the rule of the day," Konei piped in from the bed where
Gerard was injecting her with yet another dose of her hormone controller.

"I feel like I'm back in line to get micronized... we all had extensive
background checks even though not many of us in my unit had ever done ANYthing
that would merit one," he sighed.

All were quiet as they contemplated what to do next... though Charhon had come
up with a few new choice words to describe the girl who had eaten HER waffles.

=o==o==o==o=

"Hey brainless... I've already told you 4 times," said a voice seemingly coming
from a shadow on the wall.

The man in the paste grey uniform just shrugged behind his wrap around silver
mirrored cheap sunglasses, and in a standard issue manner like everything else
about him -down to his manicured finger nails,"My apologies but I must make sure
to get it down perfectly. Please begin again, Ego."

"Again that's LORD INCARNATE Ego to you cretin. Ahem:

Longer ago than I give a shit a thought formed. It found itself in a brain...
the brain was big... but still felt confining. It wandered around in it
nevertheless. Other thoughts came and went but the one just wandered about... it
never poofed out like the others... Some other thoughts joined it... it made it
want to get away from them... one day finally it did... for a brief dream moment
it was free... it walked it talked it conversed... but never remembered what it
said... it would do this every now and then... but not too often or too well.

"Eventually came the time you really give a smegma about it separated save for a
tenuous connection. It was given form and purpose and a life of it's own. It
acted out what the Host really wanted to do. One of those things was to see the
anime universe... It couldn't do much... but what it could it did. One day it
did something ghastly... it made something here... that fractured off a
continuity in and of itself. That happens alot sure... but this was a self
indulging continuity... but that happens alot too... what bothered you was the
scope. And it was massive... the continuity covered alot and ripples of the
primary act dug deep. It was his... but with so many similar cases... who cares
right? When he started sucking in twisted visions of other realms in anime...
that was when the problem started. When the form named itself, you grew worried
right?

"Well anyway Eldrick as it now called itself got his thumbs in everything...
till one day a pocket formed in this... then a few more... until he had pockets
for things that would never use them but he had them... some places multiple
ones. Then one day he left... and the work stayed... reality and you started
working on it at once to push it out of the host mind so that it was gone. But
no... Then one day he came back... and the continuity widened forwards and
backwards... justifying the now... paving the way for the future. This got him
on a naughty list... but even that is a big list... and just watched for the
most part. Occasionally hindered but usually left alone. His powers weren't much
different from any other "Avatar" as they are called so you ignored him.

"Eldrick doesn't really USE his powers. So he back filled himself as studying
under Washuu. So what... him and 15 thousand other right?"

"809. Continue."

"So many... damn. Anyway... so what if he made himself famous with inventions
and the like? So what if he made new "critters" to populate his world. No... you
got worried when he made a residence. When they make homes you get worried
cause... homes don't leave when they do... they are like... stains that won't
washout until the guys die. Referring to hosts of course. He did this he did
that. Then one day... I pulled off. It was getting stuffy in there... No room.
And I was back filled and explained away... that pissed me off but that was part
of my character so I was ignored save for my comments every now and then. Then
he made life. And his status changed. She wasn't "An Annoying new Character" she
wasn't part of anything... and he backfill... sucked ass it wasn't even a real
anime past and it was clouded with forced thought covering and a little amnesia.
The no-no meter increased. Her existence helped him figure a few things out...
and he broadened his presence in his universe. He actively used himself to help
his other and vise versa. He was happy. The No-no meter stabilized... but wasn't
too bad or anything."

"You are lying again and expanding his influence."

"You expect different of me? Filter it down to whatever lies you prefer... I
know you plan to anyway right?"

"Yes."

"Now that that is settled... the bad elements in his mind made... an Evil... and
a Good... just illustrating a point again... but they took up residence...
filling forward and back to make their presences believable. For the Good way
forward... but a hazy forward... but also way back... and the evil... way way
back."

"Last time you gave numbers."

"That was last time. He even brought a looney universe creation theory... into
play... and other things. But I want Ice Cream NOW! Or I say no more."

"Cream him again Suz..."

A Girl handed him Ice Cream in a Bowl... or tried to... he's invisible save his
shadow so it's hard to hand it straight to him. Then the 4 year old sat back
down and played with her blocks again.

"Good Girl Suz... and nice Ice Cream."

"I did good ^-^"

"Kyaaaaa... too cute... *shudder*"
=o==o==o==o=

"So is there anyway out of this? I can't believe if you go back they'll send you
as an offering AGAIN."

She sighed bodily,"No I don't think so... now that they can send ME back and
forth through the "cracks" they will without hesitation."

"It's official... that sucks."

"Yep," she leaned back on her stool again, doing another full bodied sigh.

Eldrick wasn't totally dense... he know she was being Miss Coy... she was giving
him views on purpose... even now and then she noticed that he'd noticed and
alternately show more or less. He knew she was even manipulating the rooms
temperature. His realm... his House... and she was doing all of this. He knew
she was there to keep him busy... the story didn't look remotely true anymore...
though Lossoth WAS after her... you can't fake that... "poor" girl. By making
the joke and saying he was after her... he now was.

He felt sorry for her for that... but he didn't know why she was doing this...
he knew there was great magic at work outside in the field. It had been
affecting him earlier. But now it was a horny girl and an aroused guy. Anything
he did would be based on her ability... not their coercion.

She moved. She sighed again... and not too unexpectedly said,"The game is up
isn't it." Her voice was no longer toying... no game behind it anymore. "My task
is done. I was just to keep you occupied... fuck you if necessary. By force if
necessary. I've manhandled bigger and stronger and more quick to use their
powers than you. So if I had decided you'd be mine."

He shrugged. He'd known something was up after he first felt the pleasure of ice
cream in his throat instead of waffle. Ego had ice cream, and he hadn't been in
the fridge. He knew because he checked. Also he'd then noticed the powers at
work on him. He'd slowly cast of that yoke. They didn't KNOW of course. They
might now.

"So what now?" He asked. He wasn't sure how he felt about it. It was a nice ruse
while it lasted... of course he normally didn't just go after any female in
sight... like she'd obviously been told.

"Now they are conducting the final interviews. Meerly formalities. They already
have everyone's."

"Why the interviews?"

"Oh I don't feel like telling you. So bite me."

"Oh? You're a she male or something now. My I would have been surprised. But no
thank you I've had sausage already today."

"I don't appreciate being made light of. I am a woman of a quick temper."

"And I'm supposed to be happy that I wasn't ASKED about all this? I know they
were... but why not just pop me out of the pocket and talk to them if you want
unbiased or something. Or pop them out. Why INVADE my space?"

"So there's something in there after all? My my... far more interesting now."

"Cut the crap you aren't even interested in me."

"Vice versa?"

"Naga would be more fun... even Joy would be. Hell getting taken from behind by
her damn riding crop is more appealing! AT LEAST I HAVE A CHANCE AT ENJOYING IT!
But I'm not going to waste my time getting angry with you. That could affect the
girls "Testimonies". So let's sit back... relax and try to be civil. And tell
them to get off my lawn."

"No communicator."

"I'll do it then."

"One false move..."

"And they close the dimension killing me and all present in a flash. I know what
kind of power they have out there. I also know you have a communicator. It's in
the hem of that leather thing you are wearing."

"And here I thought you were admiring my body... silly me. So already know how
to disable me, and render me sans vive?"

"Learn a language before you use it."

"Thought I had... oh well. And my question?" She crossed her arms under her
breasts.

"No. I was only admiring... I don't know how to take you out unless it involved
dinner."

"Oh can't hit a woman... for shame."

"Well I figure I can be lax in doing things like that. After all my house has a
few females willing to do that for me... not that I could ask such a thing. No
matter how bad you are or think you are. I don't wish that on most. Plus Lossoth
is after you."

"Poppycock."

"Really... then explain the imp listening in by the front door. I didn't put him
there. He's been there ever since the demonettes came to stay. Lossoth knows his
loopholes."

"He can't leave or interfere."

"But he can watch. So stay till he finds something else to do... should only be
another hour... by then hopefully the CP will be done, Agent..."

"Special Agent Imeria Karavatine."

"Hopefully Lossoth will be bored by then Imeria."

"I didn't say you could call me that."

"I didn't say you could invade my house and come on to me."

"Touch. This is actually a unique experience."

"Oh?"

"Yes normally the target never figures out I flirt have sex move on while other
things happen. You're only about the 9th to figure it out... and the last one
wasn't exactly recent."

"Ah so the vampire likes to know the fear in it's victim or something. Like to
seduce the ones which know or something? Sick. Just sit down and shut up. I'm
going to put in something to watch. That way we can remain civil, and not lob
accusations all day long."

"What's the title conductor?"

"Evangelimoon 2: The Anime."

He wasted no time as he crossed the room, and placed the media in the player and
sat down on the love seat directly in front of the screen. He used his powers to
create popcorn and started digging into the bowl with anger driven zeal.

=o==o==o==o==o=

"I've only seen him that upset once before," Hope said ripping another napkin to
shreds in her hands. Letting her do that was far less expensive that handing her
anything else. They'd tried giving her a block of metal... but with her powers
she'd made a sword out of it... The kind demons are slain and or imprisoned
in... next she'd buried it in a wall... which is saying something considering
what the place is made of. They'd wondered if she'd make a whole suit next and
had continued handing her materials... There were now a collection of swords in
the wall... each more deadly looking than the last. Joy had been pulling them
out with care for Eldrick's collection... but now she was being subjected to the
Inquisition.

Ami looked over intrigued,"When?" It was the first thing she'd said since being
questioned. She had stopped crying and twitching an hour ago. About the only
thing they seemed to have not done is laid a finger on her.

"Oh it was before your arrival in Eldrick's life. It was one of the last times
before recently that Joy had had her way with him. He had attacked her when she
remade her intentions clear. He was this pissed off. Though he can be more
upset..."

"You should have seen when one of the lab students had questioned his right to
be a Teachers Assistant," Washuu popped another piece of popcorn in her mouth,"
since so much of the higher level information keeps slipping in and out of his
grasp... his armor had appear... turned black..."

Ami paled.

"And he pulled his sword out of nowhere... he then destroyed the student's
binder... the student's project from his indestructible materials class. The
student asked how he did that. Eldrick shrugged and said that if the boy could
ever figure it out he Eldrick would stop all attempts to graduate on the applied
skills program."

Konei asked," What's the applied skills program?"

"It's off from the subject at hand but a good question. There's an Advanced
Program, A Standard Program... and a referral only Applied Skills Program. These
all refer to different levels of expectations. Advanced is for geniuses like
myself though it was too easy for me. Standard Program is what almost everybody
gets... it offers the widest variety of courses... but doesn't allow some at all
due to their being reserved for the Advanced Program. Anyway Last there is the
Applied Skills Program. While not actually being publically offered... one CAN
get referred into it. It takes alot of red tape, but it can be done. The problem
is getting the right sponsor. Just being an Avatar won't cut it one bit. Heck if
an Avatar can't cut the Advanced Program most are just turfed out. And the
Science Academy has ways of keeping even them out too.

"Where was I... oh yeah," she claps her hands together,"For the ASP you have to
have a sponsor... but you also have to have something that will gain attention
to your actual skills. Being able to explain an invention that works is not
necessary. Being able to do something that someone hasn't done before is a plus.
Enter Eldrick's Emissions Free Fuel -E2F2. E2F2 sealed his admissions with a
bang. You see there are tons of emissions less fuels and near emissions less
fuels. But most require a hell of alot of labor to make them... and usually the
greater the amount... the more work it takes. Somehow E2F2 disobeys almost all
laws -probably due to him being an Avatar- it can be made by the ounce or by the
gallon via the same back breaking process. The trick is so far only Eldrick can
make it. The synthesized version evaporates into a lethal fog than reacts to
living cells making a very powerful explosion."

"Sorry to interrupt Miss Washuu," Charhon apologized.

"Speak your mind."

"How big an explosion?"

"Well let's say you have a... carrot. When exposed to the fog... the carrot will
glow... inside the carrot every plant cell is infected with ... well I won't go
too far into details... but the infection spreads like a cancer... but when the
entire thing is infected the carrot will have ... Let's see... it's weaker than
an antimatter to matter reaction... but anyway the carrot will make a large
explosion. Spreading the infection. At this point metals can be infected...
because now it infects on an atomic level... getting smaller and smaller and
then eventually is too small to carry the infection. Fortunately it can't
survive in a vacuum.

"And so he got admitted he shows students how he makes the fuel and one of the
projects is to describe what the student thinks is happening that is making the
fuel. Oczam's Razor, and "Because Eldrick wants it to work." are 2 auto throw
out answers.

"Did that help?"

Charhon had some monsterous sweatdrops,"Um... more than I wanted to know
actually."

=o==o==o==o==o=

"Damnit woman what is your relation to him! It isn't in your damn file."

Joy simply sat there. She yawned again and looked at him flatly,"What does it
matter?"

The man looked to Suz for knowledge... Suz continued fingerpainting a picture of
Joy. Nothing that was going on was phasing her... and the man was happy at that.
The device on her forehead kept everything from seeming like more than a polite
conversation... maybe even a tea party for all anyone could fathom. She played
and played... sometimes tried to get the people strapped to "the funny chair" to
play.

"Once more what is your relationship to him."

"Strictly pleasure."

"That's not what I asked!"

"I know."

"Then answer me you... you... hosebeast!!!"

"Sorry I can't do that... if you ... people... don't know I am under no
obligations to tell you."

"We Did know until all your files deleted themselves 2 months ago."

"Too bad. Can I go... your breath is killing me."

"Bitch."

"Compliments get you no content. If he was my 8th generation decendant... I
wouldn't tell you... if he was a cousin I wouldn't tell you. Hell if we were
Married I wouldn't tell you. So back up out of my face as the saying goes."

"What's so important about telling me? Would you tell someone else? How about my
Daughter? I can at least get a vague answer out of her."

"What no cortex probe?"

"Never."

"Oh I guess I could tell her."

He facevaulted... hard... then rose up next to her," Really?"

"Oh why not... it'll get you to pay attention to her and get that thing off of
her for a few minutes."

"Off it goes... I'll be outside."

Joy masked her voice and all sound from any receiver save the girl's ears.

Joy pursed her lips as the girl stopped finger painting. "Little girl I'm going
to tell you something important that your father wants to hear."

=o==o==o==o==o=

"I'm cold."

"So what Secret Agent Girl. You weren't cold before."

"Save for my personality. But I digress. I am freezing."

"You've ignored it this long."

"May I sit next to you for warmth?"

"Why?"

"I don't want your sympathy so you aren't finding out. Can I sit next to you or
get a heated blanket or not?!"

"Why not. I'm through yelling. Sit where you like. And it's only 60 degrees in
here."

She came over and sat next to him, she started shivering less. Eldrick stared
into the bowl... more popcorn formed... it warmed. He offered her the bowl. The
shrew took it and cuddled up with it rather than eat more than tokenly.

"Itssss not helping... my climatizer is... wearing out."

"Your what?" He looked over and his jaw dropped... she was shivering
violently... and sweat was pouring out of her at the same time. "Are you sick?"

"In... a way..." suddenly the process reversed... she was GIVING off heat but
looked like a frost bite victim,"Arh... *pant* Every mission I get an injection
to one give me knowledge of the target, and two to stabilize my body. This is my
longest mission yet. Normally I've already had sex with something which makes my
body stabilize itself."

"I understand the injections... but you'd have to be... artificial or an alien
to need sex to live..." I looked at her again... she'd ripped her outfit off
flung the popcorn away from herself and was panting and watching the screen.

"You're naked now in case you didn't know. And if you need them dildos and
vibrators etc are in an access panel in the arm of the couch. Have at yourself
if you need to to live. I can feel the crews leaving outside... I'm going to see
if I can get you another injection."

"Don't go outside... they'll kill you... orders."

"And I'm supposed to watch someone die?" He got up... she grabbed for him... she
got his robe... he continued walking.

"I'm... not... worth it..."

"Yare yare I've heard that one before. I say it all the time. Now then... ah...
an unarmed techie is 60 yards out," He felt around beyond the door enacting a
running comment as he did so... he could hear her flinging vibrators about in
frustration... well she'd get an injection soon enough. He opened the door by
will alone and grabbed the guy with air and sucked him into the house.

"Damn the Avatar is conscious of the Plan!" The tech pulled out a gun. Eldrick
tossed up a shiled of air... when the bullet hit the shield, Eldrick felt the
air die. His armored appear but got 2 bullets ripped through it before the
unexplanable fear of death gripped the tech... maybe it was the sword at his
throat. "Help help! Special Agent help me!!!"

"She can't... she's burned off the little shot you gave her. Now she's on a
crash course with oblivion if my guess is right. Give her another one."

"We can't."

"Why not," Eldrick's voice had taken on a dangerous edge.

"She was specially made for this mission. Her DNA enhanced... pheromones the
works... the injection was her activation formula! There isn't time to make more
before she's dead, and who cares about that."

"Before I send you out the door so fast the grass will be "watered" by your
ashes from the friction you are going to tell me what would save her. Else you
can explain it to her in your next life."

"Well if you had all the endorphines that that body produced during sex... and I
mean all of it... specifically when a female experiences orgasm.... and injected
her... maybe."

"With your little lockdown I can't get anywhere in time, and back."

"Oh well... a shame," he bit his tongue... Eldrick used his powers to bring him
back... but the tech had also done something to his brain... which Eldrick
suddenly found out was entirely cybernetic as his head exploded raining
circuits.

"Disgusting... and he's gelded...!" Eldrick dropped the body, and turned to look
at Imeria... who had... well let's just say bases were loaded and to euphemize
again... she's covered in ants... vibrating ants. Eldrick shook his head... she
wasn't even moaning. She might as well have really been covered in ants with
baseball players standing around her dumbfounded.

"Damn." Eldrick walked over and brushed them off... she wildly grabbed for one
of the vibrators that scattered away. His armor gone... he placed his member in
her hand. Would she get the idea? She looked at him a little shocked -wasn't
compassion in his damn profile???- and then well it wasn't a gleeful gleeful...
but it passed. He hoisted her up after pulling the one inserted in the front out
and replacing it with himself. She gasped, probably from the sudden lifting. He
pulled something out of the open alcove and after wrapping a short hooked bungi
cord around his chest handcuffed her legs behind him to keep them high up
enough. He then hooked the cuffs to it. It hurt but he was trying to save a life
here. He now bleed from 4 chest wounds. The scars if any would make him looked
ritually marked.

He began her cure. He started easing in and out... she started responding... he
worked the one still in her backdoor at the same time. He wasn't sure if it was
helping but she certainly wasn't complaining as she wrapped her arms around his
neck and closed her eyes.

Thrust thrust thrust. He was getting tired as the nanites worked their magic...
his wounds were healing but at the cost of him being able to really work her...
it had been 20 minutes now... and while he had climaxed she was proving slower.
However she was actually holding herself onto him now... and wailing like a
banshee.

"Can I stop yet?"

She shook her head. "Can't stop... you aren't very good at this."

He renewed his efforts even though he knew it was a jibe to do just that -she
must be feeling fine. He growled to himself. She didn't hear for her moaning. 

She was on fire from the effort but nothing was happening otherwise... the
minutes melted away as he finally came again, but she just moaned and grinded
away on him. He kept going for her sake. She moaned in his ear to encourage him.

He knelt down and laid her on her back... he couldn't stand anymore... but he
continued to try to steer her to orgasm. It wasn't looking hopeful as he
realized she was slipping away again.

=o==o==o==o==o=

The room was in Chaos as Hope entered the Inquisition's interview area. Eldrick
knew and had kidnapped a tech... cameras showed he was having sex with the
Special Agent. Hope turned a blind eye to it. They had audio in the Security
booth so they knew WHY he was... but they weren't so lucky here... the tech's
head explosion had caused a form of Electro Magnetic Pulse that had knocked out
their sound sensors. They had refused a sound feed from the Booth.

"Incarnation! Why is he raping the Special Agent!?"

"To save her... he's kind like that. Whether she's artificial life or not."

"WHAT! She can't produce the chemicals needed to save her life. He might as well
be practicing necrophilia!"

Hope was not one to violence versus non-evil sources. The man obviously simply
valued natural life over synthetic. But still the SET of Black Eyes he had now
that she was wailing on him was superb. "All life is sacred you bigot!"

Suz tugged on her sleeve,"Hi... do you wanna color a picture with me?"

Hope stopped her pounding on the girls father,"What?" Hope saw the diode on her
forehead. She glared at the man on the floor. "That will stunt her aging and her
ability to learn for 5 long years don't you know that?!"

"I'd rather that than have her away from me for an instant... or have her warped
by what I do."

She let him up with a muttered "Baka."

"So what does Imeria need?"

"Well you see she's a genengineered clone of the original Imeria..."

"I know that... skip to what I want to hear."

"Endorphins... from orgasm... a large dose infact to sabilize her life
functions."

"Why do perverts always build technology?" She asked on the ceiling.

"No it's not like that... we had to strengthen her, to many things in
incubation... the result is this problem... all of Imeria's clones have it...
the actual Imeria has a disease that we can't cure... but she's so adept we
can't be without her... she has a natural non-linear memory structure that we
can't duplicate!"

"Spare me... give me a needle. I'll save her."

"Are you crazy? No needle can penetrate you. You're an Incarnation... and if you
used one of the other girls it would kill them. Endorphins aren't easy to
extract... we don't have the equipment or the time."

"Then get out of my way I have an idea."

She called to her staff... it was reluctant but complied. She raised it over her
head... her clothing fell to the floor as she was wrethed in light she twirled
her staff about silently... every line and curve of her body glittered in the
light accenting her naked beauty 10 fold. The light slowly thickened into
clothing... and soon she finished her transformation... her power totally
unlocked. She lept once and a cascade of glitter signaled her teleport out.

Suz played in the glitter before sitting down to draw "the angel" she'd seen.

=o==o==o==o==o=

Eldrick was spent... nothing left in him... Imeria was probably only minutes
from death. He had tried. Something was horribly wrong. He couldn't figure out
why she was fine for a bit... but now nothing...

Hope crashed through the barrier leading up the stairs. Eldrick looked over...
he had no strength to move besides to pant.

"Hello Hope... she's... almost dead." He said as she pryied the bungi cable off
of him... the hooks welled up new blood. She dabbed her finger in it and placed
a drop on the end of her staff. He mumbled something... and something like a
slap patch formed... whichb she put onto Imeria's cheek. For a second you could
see the Nanites enter her bloodstream en masse.

"Eldy I know you don't have it in you... but it's time for more sex," her outfit
became shimmering motes that fell away in a ring. She dabbed more blood from
him... placed it onto her staff... and did something obviously not Holy
spellwise... and jabbed the staff in his wound... he bucked under unseen
forces... as color returned to his face and his nanites suddenly sealed up the
one wound... and were working onn the second. She quickly dripped her finger in
the blood again and placed it on the tip of her staff... but the blood only
glowed there... she made no spell... though after a second it changed color...
and she licked it off.

"Bleah." She knelt down before Eldrick who was positively motionless. He was
erect... he blinked... but it was like he was functioning on his brainstem only.
She began working on getting another part of him erect. He stood up when he
stood up and his arms mechanically picked her up... and set her down on his
manly rod. She cooed in his ear... he mechanically knelt down and pulled the
vibrator out of Imeria's backside and with Hope cooing him on and silkily
whispering for him to hurry he plunged it in her backside. She told him to not
wait for the pain to subside but to hurry. He began fucking her and she reached
a leg around him to hold herself up on him... it was too much stimulus she
hadn't had any for a month because of her training. She came hard. He
continued... she encouraged Zombie Eldrick.


On the floor Imeria opened her eyes... she could FEEL chemicals flowing through
her brain... she didn't know how... but she was recovering. She could see what
looking like a thread between he skull and Hope's lips. She passed out unable to
even cheer or participate.

In Hope's uncopiable style... she came again... and again... and again... she'd
never figured out how she couldn't masturbate to save the universe but like
clockwork during sex she could string them along in ten minute intervals. Again
she screamed out her lust and desire as she controlled Eldrick's body making it
love her rhythmically.

=o==o==o==o==o=

She opened her eyes, and cast about. The cord reached over to the couch now...
she was still connected to Hope. Hope stirred from her sleeping position on
Eldrick's unconscious form.

"You're better now?"

"Yes. Thank you. I must go... I have within me the cure for my ...
Progenitor..."

"God's Speed." Hope slipped back to sleep.

She snapped her fingers and was clothed in her uniform. It was a very clever
ruse... but R&D now had what it wanted... even if it nearly killed her to do it.
She contemplated killing them all after she cured her progenitor -using her like
a rag doll. Pah! She'd get them one day. But this house she would never bother
again. Her role in it was finished. R&D would see about the rest, and the
Future.

She carried 2 things out of the house with her that day. The endorphin glands
growing on her scalp thanks to the nanites... and Eldrick's seed. Neatly
internally locked away and kept warm. Too bad they'd had to do all this
just to get that most of all. It was pure chance that she was cured and could
cure her Genemother...

Or maybe it happened with a little Hope. "Whatever," she thought and stepped
out the door. She was gone. No one had ever figured out her real mission.

Gods that took a long time to write... enjoy... I did MOST of it today in one
sitting. 12pm to 7pm.

Boy does my ass hurt!

But now to explain some things swiping without asking -No terrified Tako
please Beans-sama!- the Beans Formula of "Explain the action at the end to
avoid confusion.

In this I wanted to lay the background in tightly. After I actually wrote
in Ego's part I realized I didn't need to get too detailed. The Truth once
was enough. Addendums like the Applied Skills Program is borrowed from the
idea of "The College Without Walls" Here in Houston. There you can take tests
to prove ability in subjects and get college credits. Never been there
personally.

I had originally intended to have Eldrick under the spell of the CP and have
wild wild sex with Imeria and be done with it... but after Reading Beans-sama's
College Life it seemed like it wouldn't do anymore. I probably swiped the
illness Idea directly... -Beans just say no to flinging tako please ^.^;;;- as
well as the bickering before it. Also probably some ideas from Michael Crichton's
Jurassic Park now that I look back. Sorry for all the theft... and if the scene
didn't pan out for you my apologies.

"She needs chemicals she can't produce." Bullshit? Of course. But Gullibility
is one of my problems in a crisis. Hope took it for granted that they were
telling the truth. And after a quick scan she realized that was the clone's
problem. Now... of course that won't fly... if the body can't produce a few
endorphins so what. But I remembered an Episode of Star Trek and an Episode
of X-files. I got to thinking about how vital simple little Seratonin is to
the body. And went with the though that there maybe a condition wherein if
the body can't produce certain things maybe just maybe it could kill. That I
turned to sex as the cure works for this series. Sure research would have
helped but with the added plot device of time...

And speaking of that. The CP wanted one thing only... besides new info for
their records which Joy had erased... and that was Eldrick's Semen. Why I'm not
saying. It's one of those the continuity if not the actual future itself rests
on their research. You know... a plot device ;) The rtrick is they were pretty
any means necessary about this. The clone after having sex would be dead -even
if she'd seduced and got it she'd be dead... no chemicals remember?- but
internally she's not your average girl. She was altered to where even if the
body died. Body temp would remain to keep the package alive till it could be
taken and studied.

Ami's Past is a morbid and disgusting one. She has blocked all of it out of her
mind. They brought the walls down. They put them right back up afterwards...
and THAT is what is shaking Ami. She'll be ... okay in a little while.
But when you fear something you can't recall it's chilling. Look at anyone who
thinks they've been abducted. Sure they may only have sleep walked and bruised
themselves and gone back to bed. But the Unknown... did they get abducted or
did they just sleep walk is very scary. Not knowing can have that effect on the
human brain.

Any other questions? Eldrick@mindless.com is the way to find out :)
