John took a deep breath to calm himself and glanced at the holographic image above Dana's engineering station that showed they at least had their shields up now.

"Ok Alyssa, you're with me. We're going to have to repel boarders." he ordered brusquely.

"Dana, try and get the damage to fire control repaired."

"Calara, send out a distress call. Don't fire back unless they continue attacking, they might think they knocked out all our weapons. They know we can't get away and they'll probably stop shooting now the dropships are about to board." John predicted.

The girls all nodded their agreement.

"What should this one do master?" Jade asked, a worried expression on her face.

"Stay with the girls, I don't want any of you to get hurt!" he said, as he rose from his command chair.

"Let's go." he said to Alyssa and the two of them sprinted to the debriefing room.

They darted into the alcoves, slipping their feet into armoured boots and their hands into the armoured gauntlets. They both hit the thumb buttons in the gauntlets at the same time and the robotic arms moved down, fixing the armour plating into place. John moved his thumb to his palm on his left hand and a rippling series of clicks confirmed that he was sealed in the armour, just as the Phalanx helmet dropped into place over his head.

"Shit, the guns!" John swore as he dashed out onto the bridge.

"Dana, where are the rifles?!" he asked as he sprinted to the elevator, with Alyssa following in his footsteps.

"Still in the firing range!" Dana gasped, looking worried.

"Ok no problem, stay safe you three!" he said as he disappeared into the elevator.

Alyssa hit the button down to the firing range and they waited impatiently for the elevator to drop down to deck seven.

*I'm really sorry honey.* John apologised to Alyssa, his heart feeling like a stone in his chest.

"Cut that shit out right now!" Alyssa fumed. "We've got to save the ship first, then we talk afterwards!"

"You're right." John said, taking a big breath and blowing it out.

The door chimed, letting them know they had arrived at their destination and they dashed down the corridor, past the gym and the engineering bay to arrive at the firing range. They found the modified XR75 assault rifles where they had left them, on the table by the range. John grabbed both weapons, while Alyssa grabbed a couple of magazines each from the weapon racks to the side of the room.

"I'll trade you." she said, holding out two magazines.

John couldn't see her beautiful face, but he could hear the smile in her voice and he felt momentarily relieved as he handed her the weapon and then took the extra magazine clips. He darted out of the firing range and sprinted back down the corridor, fastening the extra clips to the utility harness on his armour and checking to make sure that the already loaded magazines were securely in place. Alyssa was only two steps behind him and he hit the button for the bottom deck as soon as she cleared the doorway.

"What do I need to know about the Drakkar?" she asked apprehensively.

"Big, mean, four arms. Don't let them get into melee range with you." John said quickly, giving her the 2 second briefing.

"Any weak spots?" Alyssa asked as she brought her gun to her shoulder, checking the scope.

"Not that I know of. They're tough bastards!" John said worriedly.

"Ok. Same as before? Try and surprise them with a counter attack?" she asked quickly.

The elevator chimed and they burst through the door as soon as it swished open, giving them a clear view of the airlock as it suddenly spiralled open. Bulky armoured invaders began to step through the yawning portal, their deep voiced roars echoing up the corridor.

*Take the one on the left!* John thought as he dived through the elevator door and then skidded to one knee.

The putrid green skinned humanoids were wearing black and purple ribbed armour, that seemed to glint oddly in the light. Their four arms held a bulky shield in one set of arms and strange looking vertically handled rifles in the other. They had bulging black eyes on the sides of their hammer shaped heads and their high set jaws opened wide, as they roared in challenge at the Terrans.

John sighted the Drakkar in his scope and fired a round at the roaring alien.

"Pkow." The railgun murmured before his shot hit home, slamming into the creature's shoulder with an explosion of dark blue blood.

The Drakkar staggered backwards, it's upper right shoulder ripped apart by the powerful bullet, the ribbed armour offering scant protection against the hyper accelerated hollow point round.

"Prrrkow." Alyssa railgun purred as three rounds slammed into the other Drakkar, hitting it three times in the right hand side of its torso.

It's entire right hand side was a ruined mess, the dismembered limbs flopping wildly as they dropped to the floor, twitching and spasming in a sickening display. The alien slumped over to its side, roaring its ineffectual defiance as it dropped the shield and attempted to pick up its dropped weapon.

Alyssa fired a second time, this time the rounds slamming the Drakkar in the head, spraying copious amounts of dark blue blood and purple brain matter all over the walls. She felt a moment of elation, before two more Drakkar lurched through the open airlock and began to return fire. They were holding rotary cannons in their right arms and the weapons whirred angrily as they sprayed dozens of rounds down the corridor at them.

"Shit!" she swore, crouching in the scant protection offered by the doorframe to the double doors into the hangar bay, her right arm peppered by incoming bullets.

She glanced at her shoulder and was relieved to just see pockmarked craters, but no serious damage to the extremely tough armour plating.

John flipped the selector switch to burst fire and shot at the aliens who were using suppressing fire on Alyssa. One round hit home, punching into the Drakkar in the left leg and dropping it to a crouch, but the other two rounds bounced harmlessly off the shield, ricocheting with an odd whumping sound.

Another explosion sounded out in the ship and they could feel the aftershocks vibrating through their feet.

"What was that?!" Alyssa cried out, as she returned fire under the hail of incoming bullets.

"Sounded like a breaching charge!" John yelled as he fired too, attracting incoming fire in return as two more Drakkar pushed their way into the crowded corridor.

***

Calara, Dana and Jade watched the zoomed in tactical display as the second dropship approached the Invictus.

"There's only one airlock, what are they doing?" Dana asked in alarm.

"I've got no idea." Calara admitted, desperately trying to figure out what the alien ship was up to.

"At least that big ship has stopped firing." Jade said positively, looking at the enormous purple and black Drakkar vessel where it loomed threateningly on the display.

She could see row after row of weapon barrels jutting out from the formidable looking ship, all of them trained on the besieged assault cruiser. Jade had no idea if the tactical map was to scale, but the enemy ship was shown as being at least 50% bigger than the Invictus.

Calara was cycling through the weapon cameras on the inoperative Gatling lasers and finally found one that had a partial view of the enemy dropship. It was a big, menacing looking vessel, covered in spikes and armour plating. It glided closer and then with the skilled use of retrothrusters, touched down on the hull of their ship.

"Why did it land there?" Dana asked in confusion. "There's no airlock!"

"Maybe they plan to cut their own way in?" Jade said with a shrug.

"Oh fuck!" Calara swore. "She's right, they'll be using breaching charges."

"Where did they land?" Dana asked frantically.

"Deck 7 I think..." Calara said frowning. "Somewhere around the medical bay or the gym." she guessed in frustration.

"Should we alert master?" Jade asked in concern.

"They already have their hands full. We're going to have to try and stop them ourselves!" Calara said, looking scared.

"I've upgraded one more armour suit, but the equipping frame isn't ready yet." Dana exclaimed, springing to her feet. "You're the only one of us with any real weapon training." she said to Calara. "We need to get you in that suit fast!".

The Latina took a deep breath and squared her shoulders bravely. "Let's go." she said decisively.

The three of them dashed to the elevator, hitting the button and then waiting impatiently for the lift to arrive.

"How long do we have?" Jade asked.

"Not long." Calara said grimly.

The elevator door chimed softly and they darted in, with Dana pressing the button for deck 7. The three girls shot worried looks at each other as the elevator travelled downwards, until finally opening up on the deck that held the engineering bay. The echoing sounds of bullets hitting walls drifted up through the floor and Dana felt a shiver of fear run down her spine.

"Come on!" she called to the others as she sprinted down the corridor with the brunette and Nymph following close behind. She hit the button to open the door into her workshop and they all darted inside, closing the door behind them.

"Jade, help me get Calara into that armour!" Dana cried out, pointing to the jumble of armour plates stacked over by the bulky container that sported the anvil logo of the Steinbeck Armoury.

"Boooom!!!" A deep bass rumble of an explosion sounded out from somewhere nearby, shaking the floor of the Invictus.

The girls stood still a moment, staring at each other with wild eyes, before hurrying over to the pile of armour.

***

"Fizzsshhhapp!!!" The sizzling blast of a high powered laser came searing down the corridor, melting a hole in the elevator door and missing John's head by inches.

"Shit! They've got a heavy laser!" John cursed, blinking his eyes against the blinding after-image of the laser blast. "We've got to get some cover!!"

Their armour was taking a pounding from the relentless hail of rounds coming from the several Drakkar who were firing at them down the corridor. Armour chips pinged off them to land on the floor, their once pristine body armour now a latticework of tiny impact craters. At the other end of the corridor, the space around the airlock was awash in sticky dark blue blood and several Drakkar corpses lay crumpled on the floor, the bodies trodden underfoot by the uncaring warband.

Alyssa hit the button to open the doors to the hangar bay and she dove inside, relieved to be out of line of sight of the ferocious aliens. She turned to watch John as he made to follow her into the hangar bay, when a rumbling bellow sounded out from down the corridor. He turned to look at the band of Drakkar as he ran towards the door, checking to see what had just roared a challenge at him.

*Oh shi...* he started, not having a chance to finish the thought before a hulking black and purple form came rushing shockingly into Alyssa's view and abruptly slammed into John, sending him reeling. The heavy mass and momentum of the charging Drakkar leader knocked John off his feet, unbalanced as he was in mid stride. He rebounded heavily off the doorframe with a sickening crunch, before sprawling across the hangar bay floor. The impact had knocked his helmet clear off his head, to go skittering across the hangar and his left arm sagged at an unnatural angle.

*The raptor...* he thought to her desperately as he collapsed backwards, his shoulder in agony.

Alyssa's first instinct was to run to John's aid, but she battled it to follow his last-ditch plan. She turned and sprinted towards the Raptor, grinning to herself as she ran under the twin linked Gatling lasers mounted in the chin turret of the formidable gunship and then started up the entry ramp.

***

Calara stood in the sturdy boots of the Phalanx armour with Jade and Dana working as a pair, pressing armoured plates together over her limbs.

"Come on, come on!" the brunette encouraged them, as fear gnawed at her stomach. She imagined that the Drakkar would come bursting into the engineering bay any moment now, which would mean a grim end for all of them.

"Nearly there!" Dana said, holding up the breastplate, as Jade positioned the backplate for her and they pressed them together with a soft click.

"Done!" the redhead exclaimed with relief.

A rippling series of clicks sounded as Calara locked the hooks into place. Jade carefully placed the armoured helmet over the brunette's head as Dana dashed to a weapon crate holding the unmodified XR75 rifles. She glanced at the disassembled weapon on her workbench and cursed herself for not finishing it earlier, instead of pointlessly upsetting everyone. Still there was plenty of time for regret later, she thought, as she slapped a magazine into the rifle and picked up two more. She turned back to Calara and thrust them into her hands.

Calara grabbed the assault rifle and brought it up to her shoulder as she walked cautiously towards the door and the lurking Drakkar raiders beyond. Dana darted up the steps of the podium in the centre of the engineering bay and her hands moved in a blur over the console as she tapped into the ship's hull sensors to try and identify the exact source of the breach. Jade hovered at her side, shifting her weight from one foot to another nervously.

"They breached the gym!" Dana called out to Calara in triumph, her hands a blur over the console as she pinpointed exactly where the aliens had boarded the ship.

Calara turned and waved her thanks, just as the door to the engineering bay swished open, revealing the towering form of a four limbed Drakkar.

"Ahhh!!!" Calara shrieked, as she pivoted and swung the rifle in the aliens direction, holding down the trigger.

"Brrrrrrrrrrrtttt!!!" the assault rifle chattered angrily as she blew through the entire clip at point blank range.

The Drakkar staggered backwards as round after round slammed into its torso, spraying dark blue ichor over the door and walls, as the hollow point rounds struck with deadly force. It finally toppled over and fell to the floor, its four hands twitching lifelessly.

"Yeah!!!" Calara whooped with exhilaration at her very first kill.

Her exhilaration quickly turned to dread however, as another Drakkar swung into view in the doorway, roaring in fury and advancing towards her. Calara pointed the assault rifle in its direction and pulled the trigger, but the weapon clicked impotently, the magazine run dry. The four armed alien leapt forward, knocking her rifle out of her hands with a backhanded swipe of its shield.

A second Drakkar entered the room and sprayed bullets from its rotary cannon at the podium. Jade managed to duck behind the console with lightning fast reflexes, but Dana wasn't so lucky and she screamed as she was hit, blood spraying from her head. She slumped forward and crumpled to the floor.

The first Drakkar dropped its weapons and lunged forward with two of its burly arms outstretched to grapple with Calara. She ducked back from one grasping four clawed hand and managed to block a strike coming from the right, her body instinctively remembering the kata she had spent days practicing. Unfortunately she couldn't react fast enough when the Drakkar attacked with its second set of arms, shoving her forcefully and sending her sprawling over on her back.

The alien pounced forward to settle its heavy weight over her chest and used it's lower set of limbs to pin Calara's arms to the floor. It used its upper two limbs to wrench the armoured helmet off her head, bringing her face to face with the terrifying monster. Calara looked up in horror at the lime green alien as it slowly opened its multi fanged maw, saliva dripping down as it prepared to feast on its victim.

***

Alyssa sprinted forward as fast as she could, her armoured boot landing on the entry ramp as she raced to make use of the heavy firepower on the dropship.

"Fizzsshhhapp!!!"

Alyssa screamed in agony as she was blasted in the back by the high powered beam of laser fire, the impact of the blast knocking her clean off her feet as she sprawled up the entry ramp. She rolled on to her side moaning in pain and she looked back to see the Drakkar with the heavy laser standing in the open doorway. More of the Drakkar warband were spilling into the room and she knew it was all over.

The hulking Drakkar leader that had battered John was lumbering towards her, It held two heavy curved blades, one in each set of arms and she saw a hungry glint in its eyes as it bore down on her. The energy from the laser blast had temporarily paralysed her nervous system and she could only groan in despair, incapable of movement, as she saw her doom approaching. Alyssa closed her eyes, but that offered no respite, not with the bundles of emotion that represented Calara and Dana convulsing with fear. Suddenly the image of John winked out of her mind and for a terrifying moment Alyssa thought that his injuries had been fatal. Her eyes snapped open and darted frantically over to where he had been laid low.

Her eyes widened with surprise as John rose smoothly to his feet. He grasped his left arm in his right hand and snapped the dislocated arm back into its socket, before brushing his hand across his mouth. He looked down at the blood smeared over the back of his hand.

"Not bad..." he said in a low voice, dripping with menace. "But it's my turn now..."

He stalked towards the Drakkar leader, who whirled around to face him, alerted by the warning barks of his minions. It raised its blades in the air, roaring out a mighty challenge, as the rest of the Drakkar spread out into the hangar to watch the impending slaughter.

***

Calara twisted and turned with all her might against the implacable grip of the voracious Drakkar looming above her, powerless against its overwhelming strength. She screamed in terror as it's jagged fangs descended inexorably towards her face.

"RAAWWWRRRRR!!!!!"

A deafening roar reverberated around the engineering bay, filling the already terrified young woman with cold dread. The Drakkar paused as it was about to tear into her face and looked up, it's bulbous eyes widening in shock and fear, as it raised two of its hands in front of it to ward away some unseen foe. Suddenly the heavy weight of the alien was abruptly gone, lifted off her chest in an instant, as a dark green juggernaut slammed into the Drakkar and it disappeared from her sight with a gurgling scream.

Calara sat up quickly, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked across the room. The first Drakkar was an eviscerated carcass, a mangled green and blue smear across the floor. A colossal three metre long feline had rebounded off the far wall and was now stalking towards the second Drakkar, it's viridian striped muscles rippling in its dark green flanks. The terrified alien backed away from the deadly alpha predator, its four hands held out in supplication. The feline was not feeling in a forgiving mood however and it snarled in anger, revealing it's 6 inch long fangs that gleamed brightly in the light. A heavy paw swiped out and the ethereal looking razor sharp claws ripped effortlessly through the alien's forearms. The Drakkar warbled in terror as it stared at the bloody blue stumps where it's hands used to be, moments before the verdant tiger swiped with its left paw, disembowelling the cowering alien.

The feline turned to stare back at Calara with familiar emerald eyes, the great cat taking a long slow blink at the astonished brunette before it stalked out of the door, its tail lashing with anticipation. Terrified guttural screams echoed down the corridor in its wake. Calara frantically grabbed her assault rifle and then looked back at the podium in the centre of the room. She could see no sign of Dana, but a trickle of blood dripped down the steps coming from behind the console.

"Dana!" Calara called out in alarm and leapt up the steps to check on her friend.

***

Alyssa watched with her heart in her throat as the eight foot tall Drakkar Leader swirled it's great sickle like blades in two sets of arms. The formidable looking alien warrior grinned evilly, its multi fanged maw curving upwards in a hideous expression of delight as it savoured the moment before it gutted the impudent Terran.

John strode forward with no preamble and the Drakkar attacked immediately. The five foot long blades were swung with enough force that the attacks would rip him in half, if the creature landed a solid blow. John calmly sidestepping one overhead swipe from the right and then smoothly ducked under a chest high slash from the left, a grim smile on his face as they whistled by harmlessly.

Taking advantage of the overextended sword wielding alien, he rose from his crouch and stepped forward to take hold of the Drakkar leader's left arms below the elbow. With a savage twist, he broke both arms, causing the Drakkar to bellow in shocked outrage as it's blade clattered to the floor. It whirled around and attempted an overhead chop with its right hand blade, but John simply caught the creatures lower arm in his left hand, its muscles bulging as it tried in vain to finish the strike. He grabbed the aliens armoured collar with his right hand and hauled the creature's head downwards, slamming his own forehead into the spongy flesh of its astonished face. The stunned alien staggered backwards, its arms flailing widely as it was knocked senseless by the brutal headbutt.

John paused to pick up the dropped blade and then walked purposefully after the reeling creature, striding forward to deliver a devastating overhead chop. The Drakkar managed to parry, but the colossal force of the ringing blow drove it to its knees. John rained one overwhelming attack after another on the crippled alien, before knocking aside a trembling attempt to parry his relentless assault and shearing off both hands below the wrist. The creatures eyes boggled as if in disbelief, as he immediately followed up with a strike to the creatures head, cleaving it's hammer shaped skull in half, directly down the middle.

The blow was so powerful that it sheared into the aliens armoured chestplate and John placed his armoured foot on the creatures chest, to haul the blade free with a grinding shriek of metal. He turned towards the rest of the Drakkar warband who had begun to back away in fear, John's borrowed blade drowning in blood and dripping thick blue gore on to the floor. The aliens turned tail and fled, running for their dropship.

"Running won't save you..." John said ominously as he stalked after them.

Alyssa groaned with the pain from her seared back and lolled forward, closing her eyes. The pulsing bundle of emotions that represented Calara was riven with fear and Alyssa heard her thoughts yell *Dana!* in panic. She saw the other nascent presence in her mind dim and fade and Alyssa felt the icy grip of fear seize her own heart.

"Sparks..." she sobbed, as the sweet darkness of unconsciousness overtook her.

***

Calara leapt up on to the podium and spotted Dana's crumpled form on the floor. The girl had a jagged gunshot wound on the side of her head, the right side of her face a mask of blood. She lifted a feeble arm towards the console as though trying to raise herself.

"Oh god, no!" Calara gasped, seeing her friend's critical condition.

"Hit... blue..." Dana gurgled, before collapsing backward, her hand flopping nervelessly to her side.

Calara blinked back tears and glanced up at the console. Amongst the bewildering array of controls on the backlit panel, a blue button flickered with a soothing blue glow. She stepped forward and slapped her hand down on the button, which registered the impact with a quiet beep.

"Program Dana 1 executing. Artificial gravity disabled. Tank purge in progress." the dispassionate voice of the computer said, piercing the deathly quiet of the engineering bay.

Calara wiped away her tears and dropped to the floor to cradle her dying friend in her arms.

"I won't let you go. I won't!" she said fiercely.

The brunette turned to the door and tilted her head back.

"Jade!!!" she screamed loudly.

A few seconds later, the sound of fearsome claws scrabbling down the corridor reached her and then the enormous dark green tiger bounded through the doorway. It dropped a severed arm from its mouth and padded forward, ears alert and emerald eyes bright.

"Dana's dying!" Calara sobbed. "We need John now!" she begged the huge cat.

The tiger nodded its understanding, twisting on the spot and racing for the door, covering the distance in the blink of an eye before disappearing into the corridor in a verdant blur. Calara brushed a lock of blood soaked hair away from Dana's face.

"You'll be ok little sister." she murmured falteringly, struggling to believe her own words.

***

Jade raced down the corridor, her powerful muscles flexing as she leapt the blood slicked floor and the ravaged lime green carcasses that lay strewn around the doorway to the gym. The Drakkar had been running from her in terror and trying to flee back into that room, when the doors had suddenly slammed shut, leaving the stragglers to her less than tender mercies.

She landed gracefully on her padded paws and reached the end of the hall, pressing the button to call the elevator with the blunt tip of her nose. The taking of this Tiger form had been an instinctive reaction, the only way she could protect her friends and she marvelled at the size and power of the exciting new shape she now assumed. She realised she would need to communicate quickly with John though, so she braced herself to return to being a humanoid.

As she waited for the elevator to arrive, she closed her eyes, slowing her breathing and picturing the form in her mind that would most please her master. Reminding herself in time that he preferred her to wear her green skinned image, she concentrated on filling out the form that she held in her mind. The dark green fur receded into her body, the vicious claws and fangs retracted and her body became smaller, denser and more compact.

The door chimed softly and she opened her eyes, looking at her faint reflection in the elevator doors to see herself in her green skinned Nymph-shape, crouching nude on all fours in the corridor. Jade rose smoothly and entered the elevator, hitting the button for the bottom deck, where Alyssa and John had gone to stop the first dropship of invading Drakkar.

The elevator sank down to the bowels of the Invictus and the elevator doors opened up to a tableau of utter carnage. Ruined lime green corpses lay scattered and broken down the corridor, riotous sprays of thick blue blood festooned the floors, walls and ceiling in chaotic arcs of colour. The hackles on the back of Jade's neck rose up as she subconsciously sensed extreme danger lurking nearby. The lithe Nymph dropped into a cautious crouch and she carefully crept down the corridor, her senses alert and on edge as she prowled closer to the frenzied scene of destruction.

Jade reached the open double doors that led into the hangar bay and her sharp eyes spotted the crumpled figure in Phalanx armour on the entry ramp of the gunship. She darted into the room, giving the hacked and mangled corpse of a hulking Drakkar a wide berth and sprinted over to the prone armoured body. When she reached the ramp, she knew immediately by its size that the person in armour was Alyssa.

She took in the horrific charred impact that had burned right through the girl's body armour on her back and Jade felt a surge of panic. Kneeling cautiously at her side, Jade gently removed Alyssa's helmet and her fingers rushed to the girl's neck to feel for a pulse. The nymph breathed a deep sigh of relief to find that her master's mate was still alive and she turned to look around the hangar, searching for John's body, knowing that he would not be far from Alyssa's side. She spotted another Phalanx armour helmet discarded by the far wall, but could see no other sign of John.

Suddenly a gurgling scream of terror echoed from the corridor and Jade turned sharply, wary for danger. She saw a bulky black and purple creature lurched into view, the arms on its right hand side had been hacked from its body and dark blue blood gouted from the ruined stumps. Jade carefully laid down Alyssa's head and then moved into a crouch, getting ready to shapeshift again to protect her blonde friend.

Abruptly her master strode into view, a chipped and battered five foot blade held in his right hand, as he stalked after the gibbering Drakkar that was staggering across the hangar bay. He caught the terrified alien easily, grabbing it by the scruff of its armoured neck and hauling it into the air with his left hand. He spun, and hurled the 300lb alien effortlessly through the air to slam into the hangar wall 15 foot off the floor. He drew back his right arm almost faster than Jade could follow and then sent the sword cartwheeling through the air to impale the stricken Drakkar, pinning it against the wall with a squelching crunch.

Jade's heart lifted at seeing her master unscathed, but something about him seemed wrong, frightening and discordant somehow. Making a quick decision, knowing she had to act fast to save both her friends, she breathed deeply and shifted into the forbidden form. Jade sighed in rapturous delight as she shimmered and changed colour, her skin changing from a dark green to a tanned bronze. Her hair lightened from dark green to golden blonde and her emerald eyes shifted to a deep cerulean blue. Shivering in ecstasy, Jade rose gracefully and sashayed down the ramp to approach her master.

John whirled when he saw movement, but his eyes widened in delight as he spotted Alyssa. The intense focus of his tunnel vision began to fade away and he teetered on his feet. The sensory numbness began to recede and he became aware of the burning ache in his back and shoulder, causing him to gasp with the sudden pain.

"Master!" Alyssa greeted him joyfully as she prowled closer, a gloriously happy smile on her face.

"It's great to see you... honey." he slurred, feeling disorientated.

"I'm hungry master." Alyssa crooned softly. "Please could you fill my belly with your cum?" She requested politely.

"Yeah... sure honey. Whatever you want..." he drawled, his eyelids heavy with exhaustion.

"Mmm, you're such a kind master." Alyssa purred adoringly.

She led him to some nearby storage crates and pressed John's thumb to his left palm, making him suddenly aware he was wearing full battle armour. He stared around him with dazed eyes as the armour plates clanged unceremoniously to the floor. Alyssa helped him step out of the armoured boots and then guided him over to the crates, urging him to sit while smiling at him lovingly and sinking to her knees. She pulled down his trousers, freeing his half hard cock and then tilted forward to take his head into her mouth with a deep sigh of contentment.

John placed his hands on Alyssa's head, feeling the silky softness of her lustrous golden hair beneath his fingertips. He swayed precariously and groaned loudly as his lover's tongue swirled and caressed him as it danced up and down his length, coaxing him to the back of her mouth and then down into the wet warmth of her clutching throat.

"Oh fuck that's amazing..." he moaned, as Alyssa stroked his entire shaft with the rippling muscles in her throat, his cock feeling like it was being teased by half a dozen soft female hands.

Alyssa looked up at him, her piercing blue eyes communicating her need, her insatiable desire to empty his four balls and carry his cum in her empty stomach.

"Oh fuck!" John groaned. "I'm coming!" he gasped, as he held her beautiful face to his lap and began to shoot powerful blasts of cum down her throat.

His quad heaved as they clenched strongly, trying to ensure that the eager girl kneeling lovingly in front of him received every last drop of his spunk that she desired. The couple stayed frozen in place for what seemed like an eternity as he experienced an intense orgasm, Alyssa sucking strongly to empty his quad and making his climax even more pleasurable. Finally he was done and he sagged back, leaning against the crates and panting for breath.

"Thank you master." Alyssa said, rising to her feet and catching a small dribble of cum from the corner of her mouth with a slender finger, before scooping it back within reach of her tongue.

John nodded drowsily, not even noticing that Jade was shimmering before his eyes, shifting back into her green skinned nymph form. He slumped against the crates, closing his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Jade hefted her enormously swollen breasts in both hands, feeling their engorged weight where they sat full and taut on her chest. She darted over to the entry ramp of the gunship and grasped Alyssa's armoured gauntlet in her hand, pressing the comatose girl's thumb against her palm. With a rippling clicking sound, the armour unhooked itself and Jade was able to quickly remove the top plates and scoop the badly wounded blonde girl into her arms.

"I'll save you, Alyssa. Don't worry." she said soothingly as she strode quickly over to the elevator, thrusting out her chest as she walked so that a swollen nipple eased its way between Alyssa's parted lips.

Instinctively Alyssa began to gently suckle, her mouth latching on to the erect nipple that teased its way into her mouth. A delicious sweet minty taste filled her mouth, flowing over her tongue and she swallowed automatically as she sucked reflexively.

"That's a good girl." Jade whispered softly to her. "Take as much as you can."

The beautiful blonde girl's blue eyes flickered open and she stared up into Jade's emerald eyes as she fed from her bounteous breast. Jade smiled down at her warmly, as Alyssa suckled greedily, filling her toned belly with John's potent cum.

***

Calara held Dana in her arms, watching with panicked eyes as the redhead grew visibly weaker. Calara had wrapped the terrible head wound with a crude bandage made from the girl's ripped shirt, in an attempt to try and stem the bleeding, but Dana was growing pale after losing so much blood.

"Hang on Dana!" Calara pleaded. "Jade and John will be back soon, I promise!" she said, tears filling her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.

The brunette sobbed with relief when she heard the soft chime from the corridor, as the elevator door opened. Only a few moments later, Jade walked briskly into the engineering bay, cradling Alyssa in her arms.

"Oh god, not Alyssa too!" Calara gasped. "Is she ok?" she asked with worry.

"She'll be fine now Calara, don't worry." Jade said reassuringly as she darted up the steps to the podium and gently placed Alyssa on the floor next to Dana. Calara's eyes widened when she saw Jade's gigantic breasts, the dark green skin rounded and taut.

"Leave Dana with me." the Nymph said confidently. "I can take care of her, but you must take care of the Invictus. We're still in danger from the Drakkar ship."

Calara looked into Jade's eyes and nodded her understanding. "I'll save us." she said fiercely, moving aside to let Jade take her place, cradling Dana protectively in her dark green arms.

The Latina rose to her feet and ran to the doorway, glancing back once as she left the room. She saw Jade whispering softly to Dana, cupping her head gently and guiding the critically injured girl to her hugely swollen breast. Hoping fervently that the Nymph's plan would work, Calara sprinted down the corridor for the elevator, faltering slightly as she passed the eviscerated corpses of the Drakkar soldiers who had been ripped apart with savage ferocity.

She ran the last stretch of the corridor, still trying to reconcile the loving nymph she had just left in the engineering bay, with the enormous deadly tiger that had made such a dramatic appearance. Filing it away as just one more crazy thing that had happened recently, she darted into the elevator and hit the button to take her up to the bridge.

A few seconds later, the doors swished open quietly and she sprinted down the ramp to the tactical station and sat in the familiar chair. A quick glance at the Tactical map showed her that the enormous Drakkar cruiser still hovered nearby, ready to launch a killing strike on the crippled Invictus. Calara studied the enormous Drakkar vessel with growing trepidation, staring at its bristling array of beam weapons and massive armour plating. Suddenly a soft chime from the tactical map alerted her to the rapid approach of incoming ships and Calara dared to let herself feel a shred of hope.

Three ships jumped into local space, appearing abruptly as they dropped out of hyper-warp. She recognised the configurations as being Ashanath, from her time training at the Terran Federation Academy. That seemed an eternity ago, but in reality was only a few months past. The disc shaped Ashanath vessels fanned out and bore down on the marauding Drakkar cruiser, approaching the much bigger ship at high speed.

The Drakkar ship pivoted in place, turning forebodingly to face the Ashanath ships that were racing in to attack. Both sides shared the same firing range with their beam weapons and as soon as they were in range, all of the combatants opened fire; Searing blasts of laser energy connected the ships and lashed across their opponent's shields.

The Ashanath beam barrage struck with deadly accuracy against the stationary Drakkar vessel and the coruscating red beams from their three ships converged on the purple and black plated ship, causing its shields to flare and wink out under the fearsome firepower. Four of the beams seared across the bulky hull and Calara grinned, expecting to see terrible devastation in their wake. She blinked with shock when she saw that the beams had barely marked the Drakkar armour, the light from the system's orange sun reflecting oddly on the sparkling onyx surface of the armour plating.

Unfortunately for the Ashanath, they did not fare so well in the exchange. The Drakkar returned fire with the pulsating purple beams from their weapon batteries and the rightmost Grey vessel was pounded relentlessly. The saucer's shields buckled under the overwhelming strength of the twisting violet hued beams, leaving the silvery hull exposed to the wrath of the Drakkar. The right side of the ship was sheared off as the beams cleaved straight through the defenceless craft, setting off internal explosions further around the wildly spinning disc. The lights on the Grey's vessel guttered and died, leaving the ship a lifeless hulk.

Calara decided it was time to stop playing possum and she unlocked a panel on her console that would allow her to take over navigation control of the Invictus. She powered up the ship's four massive engines, bringing the assault cruiser around in a smooth arc, to face the rear of the Drakkar cruiser at point blank range. Fearing similar results to the Ashanath if she attacked with her energy weapons, she instead cycled straight through to the mass drivers and targeted the heavily armoured engines directly in front of her.

"This one's for Dana." She thought grimly, as she pulled the trigger.

The Invictus trembled as the 200 metre long magnetic rails accelerated the heavy shells to hyper warp and sent them driving into the rear of the Drakkar ship. The enemy cruiser shuddered for a moment as the shells punched through the armour of the uppermost engine, driving four gaping holes into the armoured housing. A second later the shells detonated and the engine exploded outwards, the blackened armour ripping open and exposing a gaping wound in the back of the ship.

"Yeah!!!" Calara whooped with elation.

Before the Drakkar could react, Calara cycled to the Invictus' beams, unloading all six into the yawning crater in the massive cruiser's armour. The coruscating energy beams lanced into the enemy ship, devastating the internals of the vessel, before punching out the left side of the hull.

She finally cycled to the laser cannons and began to pour laser blasts into the gaping weak spot in the Drakkar's heavily armoured hull, debris fragments exploding outwards from the cascade of laser fire. The Drakkar attempted to react to the lethal ambush that had assaulted them from behind, turning their ship to try and protect the crippled rear of the vessel.

The Latina ceased fire when she no longer had a clear shot at the enemy's rear and she rolled the assault cruiser awkwardly and pulled away, trying to escape the terrible vengeance of the enraged Drakkar. A barrage of purple beams lashed out at the Invictus, scything over the shields with powerful blasts of focused energy and causing the shield status hologram to go from a healthy bright green to a sickly dark red in a matter of seconds.

Calara glanced at the shield strength in fear, seeing that they only had 12% shields left and the Drakkar was pursuing her and still in range for another barrage. Bracing herself for the coup de grace, she squeezed her eyes shut, cursing herself for not being able to save the ship or her crewmates. When the killing blow never landed, she cautiously opened her eyes again to see what had happened.

Both she and the Drakkar had forgotten the Ashanath, they had been so intent on fighting one another. As the Drakkar cruiser moved to pursue the fleeing Invictus, the Grey's had suddenly been presented with the perfect target and the two remaining Ashanath ships poured an unceasing salvo of bright red beams into the exposed inner hull of the enemy ship. Explosions rocked the enormous cruiser as the beams cut through the internals of the ship and with a stroke of luck, one of the beams speared the power core.

Calara watched in awe as the huge enemy vessel listed on its side, then detonated in a tremendous explosion. The ruptured fusion core consumed the Drakkar with its violent death throes, sending a tremendous blast wave out from the devastated ship. The Invictus trembled as it rode out the blast wave, the severely weakened shields just barely strong enough to protect them.

She breathed out a huge sigh of relief and slumped in her chair, never imagining she would be so relieved a fight was over. A light flashed on her console indicating an incoming hail and she pressed the corresponding button that would answer the call.

The image of a grey skinned humanoid filled the vid-feed, its huge unblinking black eyes focusing on Calara.

"This is Leader Linnaeus. Where is JohnBlake?" the Grey commander asked in its whispery voice.

"John was fighting off a Drakkar boarding action. It's just me on the bridge at the moment." Calara said, unsure of the protocol in this situation.

"We wish to apologise for the attack on your vessel within Ashanath territory." Leader Linnaeus murmured in his quiet eerie voice.

He didn't sound very sorry, but the Grey's hadn't shown any emotion yet, so Calara assumed that's just the way they were.

"Apology accepted Leader Linnaeus." Calara said graciously. "But we were crippled when the Drakkar attacked and our FTL drive has been destroyed. Would you be able to tow us to a safe port please?" she asked politely.

Linnaeus nodded his agreement and ended the call abruptly.

"Thanks!" Calara said to herself with a wry smile, rolling her eyes at the odd way the Grey's seemed to ignore normal human dialogue pleasantries. She turned the Invictus around, heading back to the survivors of the Ashanath patrol and brought her ship to a halt near the friendly vessels.

She watched the lead Grey vessel move in closer to a towing position, securing the connection to the Invictus with a powerful tractor beam. Calara stood up wearily as she saw the second Grey ship move to the rear of the Invictus and they secured their own connection in the same way. A few moments later, the Ashanath jumped into hyper warp, carrying the wounded assault cruiser with them and the fatigued brunette could see that they were continuing on the same course towards Ashana. The helpful digital readout to the side of their course on the sector map, showed that it would take 12 hours to complete the route.

Calara walked back to the elevator, the elation of the victory against the Drakkar short lived, as she began to worry about her shipmates. She stepped inside and pressed the button that would take her down to deck 7, where she had left Jade quite literally nursing her wounded friends.

The lift arrived at her destination and she walked briskly down the corridor, stepping carefully over the remains of the Drakkar raiders outside the door to the gym. She glanced at the button by the side of the door into the gym and saw that it was currently backlit in red, indicating that the door was locked. Praying that there were no more angry Drakkar in there waiting to bust through the door, Calara darted down the last few metres of corridor and stepped into the engineering bay.

Her heart lifted immediately when she saw that Alyssa and Dana were now both conscious and were lying back comfortably, resting their heads in Jade's lap. The two teenagers turned to watch the Latina enter the room and smiled weakly at the happy brunette.

"Oh thank goodness you're ok!" Calara said as she rushed over to their side. "How are you both feeling?" she asked, her face showing her concern.

"I've got a splitting headache." Dana grumbled, already showing more colour than when Calara had left her.

"But considering the circumstances, I can't really complain." Dana said with a wry smile.

"I thought I'd lost you for a moment there." Calara said to the redhead with a shuddering sigh, recalling just how close it had been.

She looked up at the contented face of the green skinned Nymph. "You were wonderful Jade, thank you!"

"It was my pleasure to assist Calara." Jade said, smiling at her warmly.

"How about you Alyssa?" Calara asked, looking at her blonde friend with concern.

"Let's put it this way, I don't want to ever get shot by a heavy weapon again!" Alyssa said, wincing with discomfort at the still tender wound on her back.

Jade was watching her fondly and brushed her green hand through Alyssa's blonde hair comfortingly.

"This one will feed you again later Alyssa, once your body has had a chance to absorb the last meal." Jade said soothingly.

Alyssa blushed shyly and looked up at Jade with curious eyes. "How did you even know how to do that?" she asked in amazement.

"Master was not able to help you both at the time, so it was the only thing I could think of to do." Jade said guardedly.

"Where is John?" Calara wondered, having not seen him since he went down to fight the Drakkar from the first dropship.

"Master is resting at the moment." Jade said hesitatingly, glancing at Alyssa who had also witnessed John's startling behaviour.

"Ok I'll help you move to our quarters and then I'll go and get John." Calara volunteered.

"What happened with the Drakkar vessel?" Jade asked the brunette.

"The Ashanath patrol turned up and I helped them take it out." Calara said proudly. "The Grey's are towing us to Ashana right now."

The brunette suddenly remembered she was still wearing the Phalanx armour, so she walked over to pick up the helmet where the Drakkar raider had yanked it off her head. She then went over to the armour containers and unlocked the suit, the metal hooks rippling with soft clicks, allowing her to carefully remove the body armour and leave it in a neat pile.

She walked back to the podium and offered a hand to Alyssa and Dana, who both sat upright with pained groans. From this angle, Calara could see the big red burn mark on Alyssa's back where she had been hit by the heavy laser. Jade saw her looking at the angry wound on the blonde girl's tender flesh.

"She has healed very quickly." Jade said approvingly. "That would have been a fatal wound if left untended."

Calara helped them all to stand and Alyssa turned to Jade and pulled her into a hug. "Thank you for saving my life." she said gratefully.

"You saved me first, so it seemed only fair." Jade smiled back at the beautiful blonde girl graciously.

"You saved me too." Calara said joining them in their hug.

"This one is too fond of you to see you get eaten." Jade said with a gentle smile.

"And I owe you too." Dana said, hugging the Nymph affectionately and resting her head on her dark green shoulder.

Jade leaned her head to the side to nuzzle against the redhead gently.

"Come sisters, let us get you to bed. I'm eager to feed you again." Jade said with a twinkle in her emerald eyes.

The girls pulled apart from their hug and Calara eyed the Nymphs greatly inflated breasts appreciatively.

"I almost wish I'd been injured too." she said with a smile.

The girls laughed as they slowly stepped down the illuminated steps of the podium, Calara supporting Alyssa and Jade helping Dana. They walked down the corridor towards the elevator, with Alyssa and Dana looking at the shredded corpses of the Drakkar raiders with wide eyes, as they passed the scene of the massacre. Calara glanced at the gym door with a worried look.

"Are the others going to be able to break through that?" She said with concern.

"Not unless they've turned into fish!" Dana laughed, before wincing at the sharp pain in her head.

"Fish?" Calara asked with confusion.

"I'll explain later." Dana said cryptically.

They took the elevator up to deck 2 and the wounded girls stumbled haltingly into the Commander's quarters and were helped on to the bed by Jade and Calara.

"Ok I'll go and get John!" Calara said happily, looking forward to seeing him again.

"Calara!" Jade called out to her, as the brunette bounded out of the room. The Latina poked her head back through the doorway a moment later.

"What's up?" she asked curiously.

"There's quite a mess down there." Jade said cautiously. "Brace yourself..."

"After what I saw you do to the Drakkar, I think I'll be ok." Calara grinned. "Bye for now kitty kat!" she said with an impish wave.

Jade's tinkling laughter echoed down the corridor, as Calara walked back to the elevator again with a bounce in her step. She went inside and pressed the button for deck 9, the doors swishing closed quietly. The brunette was still worried about the way things had been left with John after their chat this morning, but she was confident they would be able to sort out the unpleasantness from earlier.

Her buoyant mood abruptly dissolved when the elevator door opened to the charnel house outside the airlock. She stepped into the corridor, her eyes wide, as she saw the mangled dismembered corpses of the Drakkar boarding party. The corridor had been bathed in dark blue blood and it dripped in congealed rivulets down the walls. Stepping carefully over the severed limbs that were scattered down the hall, she looked up in wonder at the long sword blade driven straight through the reinforced steel wall about 10 feet above the ground. She poked her head around the open door into the hangar bay and was shocked to see a Drakkar impaled on the wall, the hilt of the blade sticking out of its chest.

Getting increasingly worried for John's safety, Calara's eyes darted around the room, searching for him. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her man slumped against some stacked containers, fast asleep, but otherwise seemingly unharmed. She jogged over to him, cautiously avoiding going anywhere near the corpse of a hulking Drakkar that had been hacked apart in the middle of the hangar bay.

"Hey John, are you ok?" she asked him, gently touching his shoulder with her hand.

John groaned as she touched his previously dislocated shoulder and his eyes flickered open to see Calara looking intently at his face.

"Hey Calara." he said drowsily with a faint smile.

"Come on." The brunette said in a reassuring tone of voice. "Let's get you up to bed and you can get some proper rest."

"Ok honey..." he said tiredly, nodding his agreement.

Calara helped him stand and the two of them slowly made their way to the elevator and then back up to the second deck to join the girls in his quarters. Jade rose to help, leaving Alyssa to rest and the two young women led him into the bathroom and into the shower to wash off the thick blue blood that was smeared over his face.

After he was clean, they led him back into the bedroom and then carefully plopped him on to the bed, before tucking him under the covers. Dana was already sound asleep, her tummy slightly rounded where she had eagerly swallowed down another helping of cum. They positioned John behind the redhead, so that he could wrap her in his arms and soon he was snoozing blissfully as well.

Calara stripped off her clothes and joined Jade and Alyssa in bed.

"Are you ready for some more cum?" Jade said to Alyssa with a warm smile.

The blonde nodded eagerly and then settled into Jade's arms to greedily suck out the last of John's seed from the Nymph's swollen breasts. As she suckled strongly from Jade's erect nipple, the nymph stroked Alyssa tummy, feeling it curve out slightly as the teenager filled her stomach with a heavy load of protein.

Calara watched the strangely maternal scene, finding it very arousing. Jade's sparkling emerald eyes were staring at Alyssa's face lovingly, watching for her pretty cerulean eyes to get drowsy. When the blonde finally fell asleep, her belly full, the Nymph guided the teen into place on the bed curled up behind John.

Calara lay back on the bed and opened her arms for the green skinned alien girl. Jade smiled at her happily and then moved into the welcoming warmth, resting her head against Calara's big firm breasts.

"You're going to be an amazing mother." The Latina said to the Nymph softly. "You were so gentle and caring with them." she said lovingly.

Jade looked up at her with big round eyes, touched by Calara's kind words.

"Now let me take care of you." the brunette said, stroking Jade's dark green hair soothingly.

Heaving a big sigh of contentment, Jade relaxed into Calara's loving arms and drifted off to sleep, finally succumbing to her own exhaustion after such a stressful and strenuous day.

Calara sighed happily herself and soon the entire crew of the Invictus were slumbering soundly.

***

The unending blackness of John's sleep gently receded, as the luminous figure that had previously appeared in his dreams wrapped her arms around him. A warm and pleasant glow spread out from the figure, swathing him in light and filling his body with a pleasant tingling sensation that seemed to banish his aches and pains and leave him relaxed and contented. He soaked in the rejuvenating light, feeling at peace with the world.

***

Several hours later, John awoke to find himself sandwiched between two beautiful teenagers. He was holding Dana in his arms, her back towards him and he had Alyssa cuddled up behind, her athletic figure draped over him possessively. He rolled gently on to his back and the girls moved with him in their sleep, pressing their breasts against his sides and leaning their heads against his chest. He felt like a new man, fully refreshed and ready to go after his short nap.

He looked down at the two girls wrapped around him and then to his left, where he saw Jade and Calara cuddled up together as well. He sighed happily, overjoyed to be surrounded by the women he loved so much, but then he began to remember everything that had happened earlier that morning. The latest revelations that Dana had discovered about the strange transformative powers of his cum, were truly unsettling. He looked about him guiltily feeling remorseful at the changes wrought on these wonderful girls.

As his eyes darted over towards Jade and Calara, he saw a pair of glinting emerald eyes staring back at him. The nymph eased her way out of Calara's arms and then held out her hand to him, indicating her desire for John to follow. He carefully extracted himself from between the beautiful young women and then the three of them curled up together, sleeping angelically.

"Come with me please master." Jade whispered to him softly and led him from his quarters by the hand and into her own room, closing the door behind her.

She peeled back the covers of the bed, before slipping between the sheets and then beckoned for John to join her.

"I wish to speak to you master. Please join me and keep warm." she said invitingly.

Unable to refuse such a welcoming invitation, John climbed into bed beside her and Jade cuddled up against him and leaned up on one elbow, so that she could stare down at him.

"This one can see that you are unsettled master." Jade said calmly. "Unfortunately I can't read your thoughts like Alyssa can," she said wistfully. "So you will have to tell me what is wrong."

John stared at the green skinned alien girl for a long moment and then let out a big sigh.

"I feel so guilty Jade." he began.

"I love all of you girls so much and I can't help but feel I've violated you and taken away your free will. It feels like these changes have forced you all to be with me." he said feeling ashamed.

Jade smiled at him fondly, stroking the side of his face lovingly.

"You know my nature master." Jade said. "You knew what I was within moments of us meeting on board the pirate ship."

John nodded, recalling when he and Alyssa had rescued the Nymph from captivity at the hands of the pirate lord, on board his flagship the Stalingrad.

"Have I behaved differently from all the tales you've heard of my species?" she asked inquisitively.

"No." John smiled. "As soon as Alyssa told you I was your new master, you were very enthusiastic to be with me." he said, as he remembered being propositioned within seconds of meeting the girl.

"Master is wonderfully handsome." Jade sighed happily, nodding her agreement.

"But since we met, have I behaved differently?" she asked, leading him with her question.

"Well yes, you've been able to shapeshift into that aquatic form and then you grew those long claws to protect the girls on Gravitus." he supplied helpfully.

"Do you believe that I have been violated by being given that new ability?" Jade asked pointedly.

John paused for a moment. "Well no, I guess not." he acknowledged.

"I also now have three girls I consider to be sisters." the Nymph followed up relentlessly. "Do you believe that me being part of a loving family is a violation?"

"No! I think it's wonderful how much you and the girls love each other," John said. "but..." he tried to continue, but Jade cut him off.

"You have also given me hope of being able to have a baby at some point in the future." Jade said, her emerald eyes looking down at him adoringly. "Do you consider that a violation?"

"No of course not! But..." John stammered.

"I have been a slave for over three centuries and for the first time in my life, I can honestly say I am truly happy. Do you consider that my happiness is a violation?" she asked him curiously.

"Ok, Ok!" John laughed. "You should have been a lawyer, you're arguments are irrefutable." he grinned.

"Good." Jade said with a satisfied grin. "I love you John and it pains me to see you upset like this."

John looked at her with shock.

"You just called me by my name instead of calling me master!" he exclaimed in shock. "I didn't think Nymphs were ever able to do that!"

"You have changed me John." the Nymph said confidently. "Just as you've changed the three girls in there and changed them for the better."

"I wish I could believe that." he replied with a sigh, "But..."

"But nothing!" Jade said passionately. "Those girls are incredible! All those traits you like in a woman have made them into wonderful people!"

"They are kind, loving, intelligent, capable and caring! I have never met anyone like them in all my long years!" Jade exclaimed. "If your cum makes people turn out like that, I wish you'd 'violate' the entire human race!" she said heatedly.

John laughed. "Ok, you've made your point defence counsel." he said smiling at her fondly.

"What about all the submissiveness, being eager to please and all those other things?" he said, looking troubled again.

"So what?" Jade said, waving a hand dismissively. "You enjoy being a little bit dominant and like mildly submissive girls, it's not a big deal." she said with a shrug.

"Believe me, I've encountered some truly hideous perversions in my time and the things you enjoy are so benign, this conversation is almost amusing." she said with a gentle smile.

"I didn't know the girls before they had undergone their transformations, but I do know that they all came from troubled pasts in one form or another." she continued.

"You must have been able to see how deliriously happy they all are with you, here on this ship? Those emotions are absolutely genuine and you will never be able to convince me that they don't love you with every fibre of their being." Jade said emphatically.

"As do I." she added with a shy smile.

"I love you too Jade." John said with a happy smile, feeling the crushing weight of guilt lifting from him.

"Show me... John." Jade purred, as she looked down at him lovingly.

John moved over in the bed so that Jade could lie next to him. He raised himself up so that he was looking down on her instead and he gently brushed a lock of dark green hair away from her face. They stared into one another's eyes for a long moment, Jade's vertical pupils widening as she grew more aroused and he eventually leaned in to kiss her, his lips brushing gently against hers.

The Nymph's tongue darted out and licked his lips, before curling back into her mouth sensually, as if beckoning his own tongue to follow. John darted his tongue into her mouth in return and they kissed each other passionately. John leaned back, breaking away from the kiss and looking into Jade's eyes as she panted breathily her big breasts rising and falling on her heaving chest. He reached out to cup one of those perfect orbs, feeling her taut flesh under his hand and squeezing the pert mound, making her pliant body yield to his strong fingers.

"Yesss!" Jade hissed, feeling his rough touch over her sensitive skin.

"Do you really want to please me in bed?" she said, looking into his eyes searchingly.

"Yes." John said with conviction. "I owe you for the dance lessons you gave Calara and Dana." he said with a grin.

"Dancers make for wonderful lovers." Jade agreed. "I'm glad you enjoyed their new skills." she told him with a delighted smile.

"So you taught them to dance just to make them better in bed?" John asked with surprise.

Jade tilted her head and looked at him quizzically. "No, not just for that reason. I love your mates and I would do anything they asked of me." she said emphatically. "Teaching them to move sensually helps them please you more though, which makes them happier too."

John laughed and leaned in to kiss Jade once again. "You're a remarkable young woman." he told the green skinned alien with a smile.

"I'm not that young." she replied with a wry smile.

"You have a young soul then." John said affectionately and kissed her again.

Jade sighed happily, brushing her erect nipples against his chest where he leaned over her.

"You mentioned earlier that you wished to please me?" she reminded him coyly.

"Ah yes, so I did." John replied teasingly. "What would you like me to do to you beautiful?" he said with a happy grin.

"You have already shown me you can be gentle and loving in bed." Jade said seductively, reminding him of the first time they made love together.

"Now I wish you to be dominant with me." Jade said heatedly, her eyes flaring with excitement.

"My body is strong and resilient. If you really wish to please me, I wish you to spank me roughly and fuck me as hard as you can." she hissed, her eyes flashing dangerously.

John's already erect cock grew painfully hard as Jade continued with her demands.

"If you really wish to please me, you will embrace your desires and show me what a powerful master you are. A man worth dedicating my life to." she challenged him.

John leaned back so that he was sitting up in bed. He moved back to give her room to move too.

"Present yourself for me. I want to mount your beautiful body." John said embracing Jade's request.

Jade moved eagerly to obey. "Yes, 'master', tell me everything you want." she hissed.

The nymph turned and knelt with her back to him, her legs parted to give him plenty of room. She looked at him over her shoulder, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

John moved over behind her, his throbbing erection leading the way. He placed the head at her entrance, feeling the wetness of her aroused pussy.

"You feel ready for me." John said as he nudged forward slightly, teasing her tight hole and letting her body know it was soon time to go to work.

"Always master." Jade said, her breath coming in excited pants.

He held on to her waist with both his hands, almost feeling them touch around her slim waist before her hips flared out to the beautiful round spheres of her compact bottom.

"You have a wonderful ass." he complimented her, running his hand over her cool skin.

"In truth, It's Alyssa's fine ass." Jade admitted. "You will need to take me there sometime, just like you did to the other girls." Jade urged him.

"I will sometime." John promised.

"When?" Jade insisted.

"Whenever I want." John hissed dangerously.

"Mmm, yes! That is very arousing!" Jade moaned happily.

He reached out to gently gather her thick dark green hair in his left hand and then gripped it tightly in his fist, causing her to tilt her head back. Jade turned her head slightly to stare into his eyes.

"I'm ready and very willing." she encouraged him. "Do what we both want!" she urged him.

John stared back into her eyes, her lusty look spurring him on. He slowly raised his right hand, building her anticipation, then brought it down sharply to spank the taut flesh of her right buttock.

"Aahhh!!" Jade gasped as the sharp slap echoed around the room.

John stroked her quivering cheek gently and then raised his hand back again to bring it smartly down on her rump with another stinging smack.

"Ohhh Fuck!!!" Jade exclaimed, her firm flesh rippling with the impact.

He raised his hand back one final time and brought it down with a resounding slap on her upraised bottom, causing the Nymph to shriek in delight. He stroked her asscheek gently, feeling the warmth in her normally cool skin. He moved his hand up to hold her waist firmly in his grip, enjoying the feel of her perfectly smooth skin under his eager fingertips.

John held her immobile and then pushed forward with his hips, to nudge her pussy lips apart with the broad head of his cock.

"Oh John, that feels amazing." Jade told him blissfully.

"I want to be deep inside you." he told her firmly.

"I'm ready for you." she urged him. "Make me take all of you." she pleaded.

John pushed forward, spearing the incredibly aroused alien girl and driving his way into her, until he had buried his entire length into the tight hot confines of her welcoming pussy.

"You feel amazing." he whispered in her ear. "I'm so glad you're mine."

"We'll see." she challenged him playfully. "You must prove to me you are strong enough to own my body."

"You turn me on so much!" John exclaimed, pulling back until just his head was still within her body and then driving forward to leave himself fully embedded in her clutching pussy.

He began to build up a strong rhythm, driving his full length into Jade over and over again, causing her to gasp and moan with each thrust. He pulled her back towards him and then reached around to grab her tits with his hands, squeezing them roughly and pinching her nipples. She arched her back in a perfect curve, tilting her hips and widening her pelvis to give him full access to plunder her depths. She panted and groaned as John fucked her relentlessly, his groin pummelling her glowing asscheek, the sound of slapping flesh adding a good tempo to their fucking.

Abruptly John drove himself fully into her and then leaned forward, causing Jade to sprawl onto the bed on her tummy. He followed her down and began to fuck her hard, driving her firm belly into the mattress as her athletic body trembled under his forceful pounding. He grabbed her wrists and held them above her head with his left hand, pinning them to the bed and making her stretch out below him. He snaked his right hand under her belly and then sought out her clit, so that he could stroke her in time with his thrusts.

"Oh John!" Jade gasped enthralled, as her body responded to his domination.

"That's right, I want you to come for me!" John demanded. "Show me you accept me as your master!" he ordered.

Jade began to wail out a long, unending climax as she came repeatedly on his plunging cock. Her eager pussy gripped and massaged him, urging him to fill her up. John rode her responsive body through one screaming orgasm after another as he worked her pliant young flesh to a crescendo.

"Where do you want it?" he demanded to know.

"In my mouth!" Jade said as she looked at him over her shoulder, prostrate as she was beneath him.

"I need to nurse your mates." she gasped lustily. "Pump me full of cum so that I can fill up their bellies!"

John had no idea what she meant, but he released her so that she could spin gracefully and kneel in front of him.

"Suck my cum out of me." he commanded her.

"Yes master!" Jade said rapturously, swooping down to deep throat him in a smooth, elegant motion.

John sighed with satisfaction as she milked his cock with her mouth as if possessed. Her tongue writhed and danced up and down his length, doing things that no ordinary human girl was capable of. He began to thrust into her mouth, feeling Jade tighten her throat to make it feel even better for him. The frantic paced fucking earlier had already brought him close to release and it didn't take long for Jade's eager mouth to bring him to a mighty orgasm.

He yelled out with his release, long ropes of cum shooting from his trembling quad and down Jade's throat. He continued to pump out his orgasm, filling up Jade to her heart's content as she sucked on him hungrily. Finally unable to take any more sensation on his tender cock, he eased back and slipped his length from the loving kisses of her hot mouth.

Jade sat up and now that he could clearly see her body, he was in for a surprise. Unlike normally where she would be sporting a hugely swollen belly to house all his cum, now Jade's breasts were the part of her that had blown up and they sat on her chest, rounded, pert and firm, like oversized melons.

John reached out to grab a big handful of each massive boob, feeling their heavy weight under her silky smooth skin. Jade looked down at his mauling of her breasts with a happy sigh.

"Please be careful John." she said regretfully. "My tits are so full of your spunk, if you squeeze them too hard, they will spray the room in cum." Jade explained, but he couldn't quite tell if she thought that was a bad idea.

Reluctantly he released his exploratory grasp and let those magnificent breasts quiver tautly on her chest. Jade looked down at the enormous orbs appreciatively.

"Most definitely a man worth dedicating my life to!" she grinned at him happily.

They moved together and kissed passionately, before finally separating.

"Let's see if the girls are awake." Jade said excitedly. "I'd like you to see them with me." she grinned.

John got up off the bed and offered the top heavy Nymph his hand, as she climbed carefully off the bed carrying her precious cargo. He walked beside Jade back to his room, feeling hugely relieved after their private chat and marvelling at how eloquent and persuasive she had been.

He remembered the furious looks that Alyssa had thrown him earlier that morning and he fervently hoped she was going to be in a forgiving mood. He took a big breath to steady himself when they reached the doorway into the Commander's quarters. It was time to straighten some things out.
