A/N chapter two! WOOT! Not much to say other than "LIME ALERT". I wrote a tiny bit of mild smut. Making use of that M rating.

Sahara Square general clinic

Joseph and Kailee Bristleheart looked down at the comatose form of their son. He was restrained to prevent injury during the fits he kept having. According to the doctors, his injuries were severe, and he'd lost a lot of blood. He would recover, but he'd be weak when he woke up and possibly for weeks afterwards. Not to mention the permanent scarring on his back. They also said that his stomach was almost completely filled with some fluid that they'd never seen before and his body refused to pass it no matter what they did. The teen began to thrash, yowling in a primal way befitting of a savage, not the gentle kit his parents had raised. Kailee slowly brushed his head, trying to calm him. "Where are you mo storin? Come back to us… away from the pain… please…" Tears began to run down her cheeks as she buried her face in Sam's neck fur. "Please…"

Somewhere between Sam's subconscious and the border of reality

Sam slowly trudged through the desolate landscape, following the sharp obsidian road and the flaming river. All around him were hellish greys with sulfuric yellow air that burned his lungs. He fell to his knees, clutching at his chest as he wheezed. He managed to crawl to the fire river and drink some of it. It was hotter than the ghost pepper he tried on a dare, and tasted like gasoline, but there was no denying it's effects. Slowly, strength flowed back into his body, brought by the life giving flame. He stood shakily before trudging off again. The obsidian gravel cut at his feet, causing a trail of blood to be left on the path. He kept marching. It was the only way out of this place. He had to keep going.

St. Judith's Hospital for the Physically Frail, Jungle district

Addie was in a deep sleep. The lightning strike had stopped her heart for almost a full minute before it started itself back up. She was left with a ropy scar, traveling from her left arm, over her shoulder, down her back, before curling gently around her right leg and ending at the back of her ankle. Several officers guarded her bedside. Her stepfather had apparently possessed a gun- A real gun, not the tranquilizers officers carried. They had been outlawed years ago and no-one in their right minds would keep one. Slowly, training for defense against criminals armed with them had faded out of curriculum, leaving the officers who had tried to arrest the abusive mammal severely out matched. They had no idea where he was, and as such had veteran officers called back into action to protect Addie until he was caught.

Mount Lionthrone, Aralan. Located near the border between Europe and Asia on our world

Addie felt the most comfortable thing she'd ever laid on beneath her. Yawning, she opened her eyes and reluctantly sat up- and saw the room she was in. It was at least the size of her school's cafeteria, and most of the floorspace was covered with cloudlike cushions. The walls were made of marble, and decorated with copper inlays. She felt a breeze cross her body and realized she was entirely nude. She yelped and pulled the blankets over herself, hoping to whatever god was listening no one entered. There was a rustle and she felt a slight weight on the bed. She looked down, finding a beautiful white silk dress, embroidered with a lightning bolt following a peculiar pattern. She reached for it- Then stopped as her left arm came into view. She looked at the scar, then at the dress. The patterns matched perfectly. Shaken, she slowly pulled the covers down and stood up, picking up the dress and putting it on. A perfect fit. She crossed the mass of cushions to the brass door at the other end of the room…

The Old Zootopian gold mines

The goats hooves clicked as he walked through the solid stone tunnels, echoing off of almost every available surface. He went deeper and deeper, finding his way perfectly through the perfect darkness. An instinct told him to go left at an upcoming fork. Never one to deny his instincts, especially not in his half crazed state, he followed it. The tunnel went still deeper until he came to an old lift. He got on and flipped the switch, lowering himself to the deepest part of the mine. The music filled his ears again, this time more harsh and grating- and all the more beautiful for it. The lift rumbled to a stop, showing another tunnel leading into a massive cavern with a beautiful dark hole in the ground surrounded by a circle of standing obsidian. "Alphys… Join us… come down the hole… Join the abyss…" Gleefully, the goat sprinted into the cavern and jumped into the pit. Then… he was falling.

Week 2

Sahara Square general clinic

Midnight

Sam was having his worst fit yet. His heart rate was dangerously high, he was nearly tearing through the restraints- and almost worst of all he was moaning erotically, as if in supreme ecstasy

The between place, in a hut at the end of the obsidian road.

He was pinned down, bent over a table, having the best experience of his life. The thing thrust deliciously against his prostrate, eliciting yet another moan from the cat. He felt white hot pleasure building at the base of his shaft and began to shiver in anticipation. With a rush of endorphins, he came for what had to be the fifth time, letting out a cry of pleasure. The thing pulled out for the first time in what felt like days, and Sam fell to his knees. He could feel delicious pain as his scar opened up and the thing released into the open wounds. The fluid burned as it mixed with his blood, but he didn't care. He knew what it meant. The thing had whispered it in light tones during foreplay around… holy shit, three days ago. The ritual started nearly a week ago, where the symbol had been carved into his flesh, had climaxed, and he was reborn fully, ready to enter the next stage of his life. Slowly, everything faded away except the residual pleasure…

Mt. Lionthrone, in the training hall

Addie stood facing the leopard at the other end of the room. A voice called out. "BEGIN." The feline rushed her at blurring speeds, but his claws met nothing but air as the bunny jumped nearly fifteen feet in the air in under a second- and stayed there. He looked up at the demigod in disgust as she hovered, dual charges of static crackling over her paws. He focused and sent a spear of light her way, only for her to catch it and convert it to her own lightning before returning it to sender. He barely got out of the way and was just standing up when he felt her feet smack into his back, winding him and knocking him down. "Addie wins again, Cerrun." the thunder god jumped down from the balcony he was on, walking over and raising his daughters hand in the air. The god of light slowly stood up and faced the much smaller demigod before bowing. She released her father's hand and bowed back. The thunder god cleared his throat. "Do you think she's ready to go back?"

Cerrun groaned. "Definitely. No other demigod managed to beat me six times in a row."

The void between the stars

Alphys hovered in the center of the deepest darkness anywhere had to offer- and felt right at home. His father "sat" across the table from him, the colossal black goat keeping it's eyes shut as it fed information directly into its offspring's brain. The smaller goat stared in wide eyed wonder as the secrets of the void were revealed to him one by one.

A/N Mmf.. writing even that little bit of smut felt weirdly good. Still weird though. Anyways, see you next time.
