ACID TEST
Chapter 1: Kidnapped

"I better go to the other pod and get everything ready," Sikozu stated getting up from her place next to Scorpius.

But Scorpius stopped her, "Why are you helping me?" He asked her.

Sikozu's eyes trailed down to where Scorpius' hand was firmly wrapped around her wrist. Her eyes sparkled and she smiled mischievously at him. "This is why." She said before leaning over and placing her lips gently over his. She was curious to find out if Scorpius would pull away or if he would continue to let her kiss him - but what happened next caught even the brilliant alien off-guard.

Scorpius put both of his hands firmly on either side of Sikozu's face and pressed his dark lips fiercely against her own soft and pink ones as he stood. Sikozu looked back at him in surprise and wonder but was not afraid of his roughness. He continued to kiss her passionately, almost savagely, as he fed from the sweetness of her mouth. Sikozu's mind was reeling and the singular thought that Scorpius' kissing was odd and slightly awkward in its approach entered her mind. 'I wonder how many other women he has kissed before me.'

Scorpius ran his hands back into Sikozu's thick, red hair and enjoyed the feeling of her silky locks. Their bodies were so close that they could feel each other breathing irregularly. Scorpius broke their kiss and guided Sikozu's head to his chest leaving his hands in her hair.

Sikozu, who had her cheek to Scorpius' chest, was confused and somewhat baffled as to why he had stopped their kiss so abruptly. She was afraid that it was something she had done.

"Scorpius...why did you stop?" Sikozu questioned tentatively.

Scorpius leaned over to breath in the scent of her hair, "I want this more than anything but it's impossible - you know that."

Sikozu pulled back and placed both of her hands playfully on Scorpius' chest, "Is that all?" She looked at him slyly and directly in his eyes. Scorpius did not look pleased. Sikozu rummaged around in her skirt pocket until she procured a mysterious looking blue pill. She coyly held it up for Scorpius to see, "I made this pill myself. It will enable me to act as your shield instead of your suit. My own naked body pressed against yours will regulate and monitor your body temperature so that it stays within a safe and balanced range. Nothing is impossible when you're as smart as I am." Before Scorpius could say anything in return Sikozu popped the pill into her mouth. Her skin took on an icy glow. She placed a hand on Scorpius' face.

He hissed back at her in surprise, "It's cold."

But Sikozu could tell from the kind of hiss he gave her that he liked how her touch felt. "It feels good doesn't it? That's because your face is the only unprotected part of your body. The Scarran blood within you must make it so that your face craves the cold. Now, the pill wears off in half an hour so we better get started. I'll take off my clothes first so that once you're out of your clothes it won't be long before your body is protected." Sikozu informed Scorpius before starting to strip off her clothes in front of him. Scorpius watched her in awe not really believing what was happening let alone what was about to happen. He couldn't take his eyes off of her bare, silky smooth skin that had a seductive, rosy flush.

'Ok Sikozu you've made it this far so you can't chicken out now.' Sikozu told herself feeling Scorpius' penetrating stare upon her as she undressed. From the moment Scorpius had saved her life she had been intrigued by him and had decided she wanted him. And she always got what she set her mind to get.

"Alright, now your turn." She said facing him and beginning to help him remove his chest armor. When she had removed it she couldn't help but gasp in surprise. She hadn't expected Scorpius to be so...fit. He certainly hadn't let himself go being covered up all the time. She ran her hands over his broad, alabaster chest and felt the hard contours of bone and sinew that covered it. She shook her head trying to concentrate on the task at hand and brought her hands to his leather pants. Sikozu thought she had been pretty bold up until then when she just froze. The clock was ticking and yet Sikozu couldn't bring herself to remove Scorpius' pants. What was wrong with her - it wasn't like she was shy or afraid but she found that she just couldn't do it. Sikozu flushed and continued to remain paralyzed when Scorpius noticed this.

"Allow me." He said undoing his pants by himself. Scorpius stepped out of his pants and stood expectantly in front of Sikozu wanting her to make the next pivotal move. Because of his origins he would never force himself on a woman.

'Is he waiting for me?!' Sikozu was questioning herself when she noticed Scorpius' body begin to tremble.

Out of his suit Scorpius was completely vulnerable or at least it seemed that way to Sikozu, who quickly wrapped her arms around him and held him close.

"Scorpius," she murmured. When Scorpius' body ceased trembling Sikozu lowered herself to the metal floor of the pod bringing Scorpius with her. Scorpius had a hungry look in his eyes as he captured Sikozu's lips again absorbing her drugging nectar. Scorpius could feel Sikozu's full, burning, magnificent breasts pressed up against him and it was driving him mad with anticipation. As Scorpius gently kneaded and stroked her aching breasts he could feel Sikozu's legs parting beneath him. He brought one of her bare tips into his mouth before entering her in one powerful and possessive thrust causing Sikozu to arch upwards to take all of him. In a series of rhythmic thrusts Scorpius abandoned himself to pleasure and it wasn't long before Sikozu felt something burst inside her.

"Sikozu I-," Scorpius muttered before collapsing on top of her.

Sikozu smiled enjoying his need to be so close to her and running her hands up and down his strong back.

'I wonder what he was going to say, probably nothing too important. Shouldn't get your hopes up Sikozu Scorpius is not the romantic type. Did you almost think he'd say something like 'Sikozu I love you' - that will probably never happen. Scorpius has too much pride to have something like love in his heart.'

"Sikozu, Scorpius, come back to the ship. We're leaving earth." Came John's voice over the COM all too soon.

When Scorpius and Sikozu left their separate pods only D'argo was there to greet them. But as Sikozu walked past him he suddenly pushed her up against the wall and caged her within his two arms. Sikozu couldn't help but feel intimidated by D'argo's size and overall manner.

He leaned over and breathed in her scent, "I smell blood," D'argo began, "Are you hurt (he looked accusingly at Scorpius) or is it just that time of the month?" Scorpius hissed.

Out of the corner of her eye Sikozu saw that Scorpius was already advancing on D'argo, "The latter, now if you'll let me go." Sikozu said quickly escaping her cage while trying to avoid conflict.

D'argo looked suspiciously at Scorpius, who still looked menacing, "Can't the Captain show concern for one of his crew?"

"You have an peculiar way of showing concern, Ka D'argo." Scorpius threatened before marching off.

When Sikozu reached her room she was surprised to find Scorpius inside waiting for her. He pushed her roughly against the wall and captured her lips in a passionate and heated kiss before leaving Sikozu alone in her room dazed.

'Now, that was strange.' Sikozu thought. 'But nice.' She smiled to herself.

That night Sikozu tossed and turned in her bed as she had terrible nightmares where a single dark, fiery presence haunted them all - a presence from lost memories.

But when Sikozu awoke during the night, with beads of sweat on her brow, her breath coming in and out in short gasps, she felt that the presence had not left her - and she was right.

An uninvited guest dropped from the ceiling and landed on Sikozu. Before Sikozu could scream a calloused hand covered her mouth. In the dim light of the room she saw that a young Scarran man was on top of her. He placed a cold dagger to her throat. "If you make the slightest sound I will slit your throat." The Scarran hissed in her ear.

Sikozu was swift to nod in agreement and the Scarran took his hand off of her mouth. Sikozu had to use all her willpower to suppress the scream that was welling up inside her. "Who are you?" She managed to ask.

"I'm hurt that you don't remember me. Perhaps I'll remind you of who I am." The Scarran said before pressing his lips against Sikozu's hungrily. Sikozu struggled to get away but she was too firmly held in his grasp.

When he pulled away he curiously looked at Sikozu's expression, "You still don't remember me because if you did you'd look a lot more afraid than you do now, my dear Sikozu."

Sikozu was surprised that this Scarran knew her name but before she could think of anything further the Scarran had ripped the front of her silk nightgown exposing her breasts. When he started to trail his serpentine tongue down her cleavage Sikozu nearly gagged and struggled more violently than before. Sikozu was about to scream deciding she would risk getting her throat cut rather than to be at the mercy of a Scarran when she saw her opportunity. Managing to get a single hand free she used it to knock over the vase that was beside her bed.

The Scarran man had been distracted for less than a few seconds but that was all Sikozu needed to knock the dagger out of the Scarran's hand and on to the floor with a clang.

The Scarran quickly brought his hand down hard upon her mouth, "You bitch! What are you trying to do wake up the whole frelling crew!!!" The Scarran said in a harsh whisper and waited a few seconds listening to the sounds around him. "Well, it didn't work. It looks like no one will save you from me tonight."

But Sikozu looked back at him in fiery hatred and suddenly the Scarran was pulled off of her and flung into the wall with a sickening thud.

Sikozu sat up to see, "Scorpius!"

Scorpius was already upon the fallen Scarran and forcefully punching him across the face.

"Careful he's a Scarran!" Sikozu warned.

The Scarran smiled even as he was being punched across the face and using his heat projection sent Scorpius to his knees.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the weakling half-breed Scorpius. My father has told me so much pointless information about you. What are you doing here on this ship?"

But Scorpius struggled not to answer.

"Your resistance is impressive but it won't do you any good. I will kill you regardless of whether you answer my questions or not."

"Who are you? What do you want here?" Scorpius asked through the searing pain.

"Inquisitive aren't we? If you must know I'm prince Seker. And I'm here for what belongs to me. The Kalish woman is mine and I'll be leaving here with her right after I finish you."

Meanwhile Sikozu had hopped off the bed and picked up the fallen dagger. Shifting her gravity center she climbed the wall, walked on the ceiling and dropped down behind prince Seker. She then stabbed him in the back; hot blood ran down. The prince cried out in pain and stopped his Scarran Heat Torture of Scorpius. But he wasn't distracted for long and swung around to knock Sikozu unconscious to the floor.

"Quite the spitfire isn't she? I've always found that part of her personality sexually intriguing." Seker said leering at Scorpius who was trying to stand.

"If you want her you'll have to go through me," Scorpius declared.

Seker pulled the dagger out from his back wondering how Sikozu had managed to penetrate his tough skin. "All too easy." Seker replied before sending one more blast of heat to knock Scorpius down. He then picked up Sikozu's lifeless form and made his way to the main hanger where his camouflaged ship awaited to take him to the Dreadnaught that was standing by. The prostrate Scorpius had to watch Sikozu being carried away without being able to do anything about it.
